But I wonder why you put so many bacteria into it. I
don't have all the digestive problems you had. I get
migraines a lot and have allergic rhinitis. So I was
wondering if you have something other than Super Shield
that works more on allergies and cold/flu reduction without
as much digestive bacteria. I don't want to overpopulate
myself with too many little live bacteria.

*******************
SB: Bonnie, for your benefit and that of all my readers,
I'll address each of your points.
==============
Too many bacteria?
==============
Your body is host to about one hundred TRILLION living
microbes--they're very tiny, but together they weigh close
to 3 pounds. About 80% (80 trillion) of them live in your
intestines. That's why it's said that 80% of your immune
system is in your gut.
Super Shield's colony forming units (CFUs) are measured in
the billions of probiotic bacteria in each capsule. So as
you can see, it's not even in the same vicinity as
overkill. It's essential that we include the specific
beneficial bacteria that we do in order to help make sure
that most of those 80 TRILLION microbes in your gut are
good ones.
For measurement purposes, a trillion is one thousand
billion. Eighty trillion is obviously 80 times bigger than
a trillion. Numerically, it looks like this:
80,000,000,000,000. That is how many bacteria we all have
in our guts already. Now you can also see that Bonnie's
concern about "overpopulating herself with too many little
live bacteria" is a complete misunderstanding. When your
body is home to 100 trillion little live bacteria, your
only concern should be overpopulation of BAD bacteria,
which Super Shield's variety of research grade strains
helps to prevent.
===============
For digestion alone?
===============
The research-grade probiotic strains in Super Shield
probiotic formula are NOT for digestion only.
The beneficial bacteria in your intestines affect your
entire BODY--not just your GI tract. While they might
reside there, here are just a few of the actions they take
that impact your overall state of health:
* They destroy pathogens in your food and your whole body
in order to prevent you from getting bacterial and viral
infections.
* They make your intestinal wall strong, so that
incompletely digested proteins and toxins can't leak out
and become absorbed into your bloodstream and lymph system.
Poorly digested proteins are a primary cause of allergic
reactions in the body. And toxins that travel to your
organs, bones, joints and tissues cause inflammation and
lead to conditions such as migraines, arthritis,
fibromyalgia and chronic infections.
* They destroy carcinogens (cancer causers) in your food.
If the carcinogens you ingest are not kept in check and
instead are absorbed into the bloodstream, you run the risk
of developing cancer just about anywhere in your body.
======================================
"Specialty" bacteria for allergies, colds and flu
======================================
Here are some of the powerful research grade strains in
Super Shield probiotic formula that have proven themselves
to be superstars in areas over and above your digestive
tract:
Over 40 clinical studies document this super strain's
ability to strengthen immune resistance, improve intestinal
health and prevent diarrhea.
One Japanese study found that B. longum BB536 reduced the
risk of flu in the elderly by stimulating the body's immune
system and activating infection-fighting NK cells and
neutrophils.
B. Bifidum is often recommended for probiotic support
during and after the use of antibiotics, steroids, or
chemotherapy. It produces B vitamins and assists in the
absorption of calcium (helping to prevent osteoporosis).
One study featuring B. bifidum found that regular intake
significantly shortened common cold episodes and reduced
the severity of symptoms.
Studies suggest that LGG has a positive impact on gut
barrier health. It has been shown to stimulate antibody
production and enhance phagocytosis, one of the body's
weapons for destroying invaders.
And by strengthening the gut-barrier function, LGG can
have a beneficial impact on autoimmune diseases including
rheumatoid arthritis and allergies.
Multiple studies back its effectiveness for helping to
maintain healthy bacteria balance and stimulating the
intestinal immune system. It also helps break down
undigested proteins, which are commonly associated with
allergic reactions.
The bottom line is this: Even though 80% of your immune
system is in your gut, those 80 trillion microbes take care
of your entire body...so you need to take care of them.
There is not one probiotic formula available on the market
today that uses the research-grade ingredients that Super
Shield does. You can check it. There are none. Why?
Because our mission is different. Our mission is to find
the best formulas and purest ingredients available and
create the best products and make them available at prices
so low, no other company would even dream of trying
to match.
For great digestive AND overall health, Super Shield
probiotic formula has got you covered--for less than even
the lowest grade products available.
PS: It's also important to keep your population of
beneficial bacteria alive and nourished with a low-acid
diet. The manual "How To End Stomach Pain Forever, Even If
Your MD Says, 'No Way!'" shows you the few simple
principles to help keep acid low in your body. You can
