Description:

For many years, Candida control was limited to anti-fungal drugs and herbs, both of which have limitations. First, anti-fungal drugs may cause liver damage. Second, Candida can develop a resistance to anti-fungal medications. Third, their method of killing the yeast increases the amount of toxins released by the yeast, triggering 'die off' reactions that many people find unbearable.

Because Candida's cell wall is made largely of cellulose, The cellulase enzymes found in Candigest digest it, which kills the yeast without causing die off. These enzymes are entirely safe, and Candida cannot become resistant to them. In addition, they work very quickly; within 3 days for common localised yeast infections, and within six to thirty days for more systemic problems. Candigest, for effective Candida control without die off.

1. Contains no anti-fungals, so it cannot damage the liver
2. Does not provoke the yeast to produce toxins, so 'die-off' reactions are avoided
3. The yeast cannot develop a resistance to it
4. Provides only Cellulase and sugar digesting enzymes, so is completely safe
5. Controls vaginal thrush in three days
6. Provides profound improvement against deep systemic problems within six to thirty days

Dosage Information:

Taking four capsules of Candigest per day (two in the morning, an hour before breakfast, and two at bedtime, at least two hours after eating) normally produces profound improvements in 6 to 30 days. The time needed for maximum benefit varies, however, because we each have:

1. Different amounts of yeast to overcome
2. Different levels of immune support
3. Different levels of healthy probiotics
4. Different dietary habits
5. Varying levels of stress
6. Different prescribed medications

For maximum benefit, those with long-standing problems may need four capsules a day for several months. The rule of thumb is that whenever you begin to feel as well as you think you should, reduce your dosage from four capsules to three per day for a week. The next week reduce from three to two per day, and finally one per day for a week. If you continue to feel well, maintain dosage at one capsule per day. Remember, dietary sugars, pharmaceutical drugs, and chlorinated water may trigger renewed outbreaks of Candida.

There are now two types of Candigest, Candigest and Candigest Plus. Candigest Plus contains the same enzymes as regular Candigest, and with the addition of an enzyme called Protease. The advantage of Protease is that the enzyme digests the interior of the candida cell. This means that rogue proteins from the candida cell cannot cause problems to the immune system. Protease also helps support beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Description:

Colostrum is probably the best and most complete single supplement for supporting the Immune system. It contains 36 different immune factors that the body uses to boost or regulate the immune system. There are thousands of clinical and medical papers in peer reviewed Journals on the effectiveness of Colostrum with immune problems.

Immunecare products are absolutely safe to use indefinitely with no known side effects or drug interactions.

Colostrum is probably the best single nutritional supplement for the gut. Immunecare Colostrum not only provides the body with all the many immune factors that that it needs to help fight infections in the gut, but its unique combination of growth factors actually repair damage to the gut and regenerate it. It is particularly effective at correcting Leaky or Permeable gut syndrome, where due to pharmaceutical drug damage or infection the gut wall becomes too porous. This leads to large particles from the gut leaking into the body and causing food intolerances and allergies, as well as other systemic problems. Immunecare Colostrum also contains lactoferrin, which research has shown to be a powerful natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral supplement. Lactoferrin is so effective as an anti-viral agent that it has seen great success with HIV patients.It has also been shown to be effective with the yeast infection Candida.

Athletes from all over the world also benefit from taking Colostrum, with stars of Triathlon, Cycling, Track and Field, Hockey and Rugby using it to reduce recovery times, build lean tissue, lose fat and keep their immune systems working optimally whilst training heavily. Olympic athlete or Club runner, Colostrum can help you avoid illness and the resultant interruptions to your training schedule.

Dosage information:

Colostrum Capsules: Normal maintenance dose is 2 Capsules twice a day. All capsules should be taken on an empty stomach with a glass of water.

There are two 'Front-Loading' regimes to achieve a fast response to taking Colostrum. The first is for people who are sensitive to medication: On day 1 take one capsule, Day 2 take two and so on up to 8 capsules. Divide the doses into twice daily. Then reduce the dose down to the maintenance dose. If you experience a return of symptoms then increase the dosage. The advantage of this dosing method is that it gets the Colostrum into the system relatively quickly with minimal risk of healing crisis and fallout reaction. The disadvantage is that the benefits of the Colostrum are slower to be seen. Be patient!

The second method is to take 8 capsules a day for 8 days, and then go on to the maintenance dose. If you experience a return of symptoms then increase the dosage. The benefits of this regime are that you get Colostrum into the system quickly. The disadvantage is that sensitive people can have a healing crisis or fallout reaction similar to a detox.

Colixen:

Rapid and prolonged upset of the balance of the bacteria in the gut can be caused by antibiotics, opportunistic bacteria and parasites, as well as environmental and psychological stress. This imbalance can cause bacterial hypersensitivity, facilitating such problems as colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma and arthritis.

A healthy balance of good gut bacteria can be encouraged by supplementing with a balance of mucins, ricinoleic acid and Gum arabic. Mucins facilitate the removal of bad bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites from the gut by binding and entrapment, at the same time as providing carbohydrate for good gut bacteria. Gum arabic provides a food source for Bifidobacteria in the large intestine, boosting their population. Ricinoleic acid helps to improve people's hypersensitivity to intestinal bacteria.

Colixen is a scientifically-designed nutritional supplement. Manufacturing processes provide a steady-release delivery system throughout the intestinal tract.

Dosage information:

Take one tablet three times daily.

Description:

Supercharge your gut with Custom Probiotics Adult Formula CP-1 - the most powerful probiotic supplement in the world. The latest independent laboratory report noted 78 billion bacteria per capsule. That is more than in some whole bottles of other brands. CP-1 contains five different strains of bacteria, specific for the health of both the large and small intestines. Three strains of Lactobacilli ( acidophilus, casei and plantarum) and two strains of Bifidobacteria (longum and bifidum).

It is essential for optimal health to maintain a good balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This balance is often upset by antibiotics, pharmaceutical drugs, stress and poor diet. This can lead to chronic problems such as Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and inflammatory bowel conditions. CP-1 has been independently trialled by the Candida Society. All triallists were impressed by the quality of the product, and noticed improvements in the following symptoms:

· Fatigue · Abdominal pain · Absorption of food · Headaches ·
· Food intolerance · Bowel movement · Depression · Bloating ·

No adverse reactions were noted by any triallists, and all wanted to continue using it beyond the trial period. Here is a short list of the benefits of supplementation with a good quality probiotic like CP-1:

1. Stimulation of the immune system, cytokine production, local and systemic antibodies, interferon production and increased macrophage activity
2. Improved lactose metaboloism
3. Reduction of antibiotic associated diarrhoea
4. Reduction of severity of abdominal pain and constipation
5. Anti-carcinogenic properties in animal studies

Dosage information:

Start with one capsule first thing in the morning, and one capsule last thing at night, both with a glass of water. Continue this for three days. Then raise the dosage to two capsules first thing in the morning and two last thing at night for three days. Next, raise the dosage to three first thing in the morning and three last thing at night, and stay at this dosage level. You can always lower the dosage level, or stop taking the probiotics for one or two days if desired. Please note that every digestive system is unique and individual like a fingerprint. You need to find the level of dosage that suits you as an individual. It may be 1, 2, 4, or 6 capsules per day. Gradual increase in dosage is the best way to find this optimum personal level. The probiotic formulations must be refrigerated to maintain maximum potency. You can, however, travel with probiotic supplements unrefrigerated for two to three weeks with almost no bacterial count reduction. Please note that these probiotics are designed to give at least two to three times the 25 billion count indicated on the label.

Description:

Many individuals are predisposed to the development of peptic ulcers. Two natural remedies have been successful in healing aand reducing the pain: licorice and Vitamin U. The purified salt of licorice, biogastrone, has been the subject of numerous double-blind trials and has proved to shrink ulcer niche size and decrease days with pain. The licorice in Gastramet has been treated to remove the glycyrrhizinic acid, the compound that can lead to pseudoaldosteronism if ingested over a long period of time. In addition to its beneficial effects on stomach ulcers, Vitamin U also benefits the blood fat profile.

Dosage information:

Take one or two capsules daily.

Description:

Glutamine is an amino acid that has a positive growth effect on the intestinal lining. It is a good intestinal food source for quick energy for the cells that line the intestinal tract. In this way, Glutamine indirectly helps to support many functions of the intestinal tract. It is so protective of the intestinal tract that when it is given alongside chemotherapy, it reduces some of the negative side effects on the gut and enhances the overall well-being of the cancer patient too.

Dosage information:

Take two capsules in the morning, two at lunchtime and two in the evening, either with food or on an empty stomach.

What Is Gluten?
Gluten is a mixture of two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, and is found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. When mixed with water it becomes sticky and so forms the familiar texture of dough made from wheat and rye flour.

How common is gluten sensitivity?
Around one in two hundred people suffer from a gluten sensitivity whereby when the gluten comes into contact with the lining of the small bowel, a reaction occurs. In mild cases, this causes discomfort and can lead to bowel problems such as IBS, diarrhoea and bloating. Immunecare Glutenase Plus can ease this level of gluten sensitivity.

What can I do if I have a problem with gluten?
People with a gluten sensitivity could find relief from Immunecare Glutenase Plus – a new, natural, enzyme-based supplement that breaks down gluten into more easily digested gliadin and glutenin and then into amino acids.

Who Should Take Immunecare Glutenase Plus?
People who are sensitive to gluten could benefit from taking Immunecare Glutenase Plus. By breaking the gluten into smaller, more easily digested parts; it encourages the body to take up gluten before it irritates the small bowel.

How Does Immunecare Glutenase Plus Work?
Immunecare Glutenase Plus contains enzymes with DPP-IV (Dipeptidyl peptidase) activity. DPP-IV can be found in the intestinal tract lining. One of its primary functions is breaking down gluten. The DPP-IV enzyme activity assists digestion of proline-containing peptides found primarily in wheat, which are generally resistant to being completely broken down by other enzymes in people who are gluten sensitive. By introducing the DPP-IV containing enzyme to the digestive tract, Immunecare Glutenase Plus encourages break down and digestion of gluten thus rendering it non-irritant.

How Do I Take Immunecare Glutenase Plus?
Take 1 capsule at the start of each meal containing Gluten

A few words about Lactose Intollerance
Lactose intolerance is a painful and socially difficult condition suffered by between 6 and 10 million people in the UK. Symptoms including nausea, stomach cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhoea are all commonly associated with this condition.

What is Lactose Intolerance?
Lactose and dairy intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose (the major sugar found in milk). It occurs when there is a shortage of the enzyme lactase produced by the cells lining the small intestine.

What is Lactase?
Lactase breaks milk sugar into two simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose. These are then absorbed into the bloodstream. If there is insufficient lactase in the body, about 30 minutes to two hours after eating dairy people suffer one or more of the distressing symptoms. The severity of symptoms depends on the how much dairy has been eaten and the individual’s dairy tolerance.

Why are some people less Lactose tolerant than others?
Some people are naturally prone to low levels of lactase, as we produce less as we get older. Others can become lactose intolerant after an injury to the small intestine or certain digestive diseases including Coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn’s disease. Dairy proteins, particularly casein and beta-lactoglobulin may also be a problem.

How Does Immunecare Lactase Plus Work?
If specific lactase and protease enzymes are introduced in a form the body recognises, they can break down the milk sugar and proteins that cause the problem. Immunecare Lactase Plus contains these specific enzymes in a convenient capsule.

How Do I Take Immunecare Lactase Plus?
Take 1 capsule at the start of each meal containing Lactose or dairy proteins. This will help redress the lactase level in the gut.

Designed by nature to specifically work in the gut, it deprives harmful organisms of iron, which stops them reproducing. It has a prebiotic function, in that it does not harm good gut bacteria, and indeed helps to create the right conditions for them to proliferate. It is ideal for use as a better alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics with all their bad side effects for the gut and health in general.

Dosage information:

One capsule per day as a maintenance dose. When fighting a parasite, increase the dose to one capsule three times a day.

Description:

When brought into contact with stomach acid, Refluxin forms a foamy emollient and antacid layer which floats on top of the gastric contents. When reflux (heartburn) occurs, Refluxin ensures that the lower oesophagus is bathed in a mildly alkaline mucoprotective coating which forms a physical and neutralising barrier against irritating gastric acids.

Refluxin contains a combination of proven and effective mucoprotective and alkalinising agents in a pleasant tasting, slightly effervescent fructose-glucose-citric acid base.

The mucoprotective agents (pectin, mucin, lecithin ) not only form a physical barrier against gastric irritants, they also possess mildly anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties which may help to interrupt the adverse effects of chronic inflammation on lower oesophageal sphincter tone.

Compared with common antacid preparations, Refluxin contains only small amounts of alkalinising agents (sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate). The primary function of these agents is to form a protective foamy raft layer and provide antacid effects on upper gastric and lower oesophageal mucosal surfaces.

Because Refluxin does not neutralise gastric acid appreciably, it does not interfere with important digestive and anti-microbial functions of gastic acid. It also avoids the potential problems posed by treating heartburn with systemic pharmaceutical medicines, which may have unwanted negative side effects.

Dosage information:

Up to five tablets may be taken at any one time. Each tablet should be chewed separately and swallowed with a sip of water.

Aquasafe filters effectively remove viruses, bacteria and parasites from your drinking water. We think that our drinking water in the UK is perfectly clean and healthy, but apart from all the chemicals in it, there is also the distinct possibility, as seen recently in Glasgow, that parasites which reside in the gut can be found in our tap water. Parasitic infections can mimic gastrointestinal problems from Irritable Bowel Syndrome to Ulcerative Colitis. They can also cause allergic, inflammation and immune system problems.

The Aquasafe RO4 has a unique four stage purification system:

Stage 1: Sediment/Pre-filter mechanical filtration
Stage 2: Carbon pre-filter membrane protection from Chlorine
Stage 3: Ultrafine TFC RO membrane pore size 0.0005 micron;
high performance 140 litre per day
Stage 4: Carbon polishing post filter provides superb tasting water

Reverse osmosis is by far the best way to treat your water for optimum health. The Aquasafe RO4 connects to mains water under the sink. Unlike other filters, it removes solids and impurities, flushing them down the drain whilst oxygenating the water so it has a lively fresh taste.

The Aquasafe RO4 features:

1. Compact design
