Super Probiotics!

After I finished my 2 week Detox with Garden Of Life Fungal Defense, I started my 5 day regimen of taking a super probiotic.  I used Garden of Life's 5 day Max Care Probiotic to repopulate my gut with good bacteria.  The Fungal Defense wiped out a lot of the bad bacteria making room for the good bacteria I was putting in my body with the 5 day Max Care.

This formula contained 400 Billion probiotics total with 34 different strains.  This is enough to help with the major gut issues like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).  

It was in powder form.  They included a scoop in the bottle.  It says 5 day care, but if you use the scoop they included, it actually lasts 6 days.  Once a day, you put one scoop of the probiotic into a glass of water and drink.  I thought it tasted a little like malt.

My system was so gassy and bloated while I was taking this.  I read that this is a die-off symptom.  The good bacteria are killing the bad bacteria.  When bacteria dies, it produces gas.  

After I finished my super probiotic, I felt much better overall.


Here is a link to the Garden of Life Max Care that I used:

Great Article on Healing Asthma Naturally!

I found a great article that explains what really causes asthma and how to cure or improve symptoms naturally:  Natural Healing For Asthma .  It is worth a read.

I found it interesting that some foods we eat could be causing our asthma symptoms to worsen gradually without us even knowing it.  These foods are not being broken down properly in our systems and our body is fighting the foreign contaminants with mucous and inflammation.

This, in turn, causes constant stress on the lymphatic system.  Since the lymphatic system fights infections, our body becomes more prone to infections and we get more sinus infections and asthma flare-ups.

Magnesium Deficiency?

Well, I have been taking Doctor's Best Magnesium for a few weeks.

My eye had been twitching for a few months, so I read up on it and the thing that kept popping up for eye twitches was magnesium deficiency.

I ordered a bottle of Doctor's Best Magnesium a few weeks ago and I have been taking two pills a day since then.

My eye twitch went away!  I've also noticed that my muscles do not get as sore after a workout as they used to.

Detoxing For Health!

I decided to do a detox of my system since I have been on so many antibiotics and medications in my life.  I wanted to get rid of any leftover medication in my system, build up my good gut bacteria and get rid of some of my bad gut bacteria.

After some research, I decided to go with Garden Of Life's Fungal Defense.  It kills anything that causes yeast in your system, including Candida!

The whole bottle lasts two weeks.  You start off by taking one pill three times a day and you build up to six pills a day.

The taste is like Italian seasonings, which makes sense since they use herbs in the pill mixture.  It is all natural.  I did not have any discomfort while I was on the pills.  I did have a few die-off symptoms though.  Die-off is created when the bad stuff in your body is dying off.  I was more tired than usual.  I also had a few new pimples each day, but each pimple only lasted a day.  It was all the bad stuff exiting my system through my pores!

Also, while I was on the Fungal Defense regimen, I did not catch a cold that was going around my house.  Normally I catch everything.

When I finished the Fungal Defense, I could tell that I had more energy.

I bought another bottle so I can take a Fungal Defense when I am beginning to feel under the weather.  I recently felt like I was getting a sinus and ear infection.  I took one Fungal Defense pill each day that I felt the fullness in my sinus and ear.  It went away after a few days!

Normally I catch every cold and they turn into infections and then they aggravate my asthma.  Not this time!!!

Here is my link to buy the Fungal Defense:
