My mother in law was very sick and in the hospital for a long period of time and she got the cidif infection and she took all kinds of antibiotics and meds and could not get rid of it. so i did a little check on the web and it suggested natural items that work and so we went to the health food store and this is the item we came up with. Now 1 year later she has been admitted into the hospital and had emergency surgery on her bowels and they checked her and the infection is all gone.
we credit this to these capsules/
Thank you

Vitamin Shoppe - Multi-Enzyme Review

Vitamin Shoppe - Multi-Enzyme
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have come across a number of digestive enzyme products over the years, and am always looking for a potent product for a good price. Vitamin Shoppe's "Multi-Enzyme" formula is pretty potent and fairly priced.
Also, most enzyme products just give the weight of the enzymes and not the activity. This product label has both. The problem with just listing weight is that 1 mg of a 1,000 LU/g (LU=lipase units, a measure of lipase activity) lipase will not digest nearly as much fat as 1 mg of 120,000 LU/g lipase. So it is possible that a 100 mg enzyme formula can actually digest more food than a 500 mg one.
The strength of the enzymes in this formula is as follows:
Pepsin - 1:10,000 (this Pepsin can, in the lab, digest 10,000 times its weight in protein)
Amylase - 57,000 U/g
Lipase - 120,000 LU/g
Papain - 2,000 USP units/mg (not on label, but I asked them)
Protease - 200,000 HUT/g
Bromelain - 600 GDU/g
Cellulase - 20,000 FCC units/g
Take note that one serving is actually two tablets, and the amounts of enzymes listed in the ingredients list are for two tablets, not one. Overall, this is a good formula that is around half the price of Health Food Store enzymes, and is, in some cases, twice as powerful. I have used digestive enzymes for about three years now and the results have been better digestion and fewer digestive problems. The only drawback to this formula is that certain enzymes in the formula are not enteric coated to ensure survival of the enzymes in the acid environment of the stomach. However, newer research suggests enzymes inactivated in the stomach are often reactivated in the intestine.

Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls Review

Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update to original review from 9/20/08:
We are continuing taking the pearls daily and they are still working beautifully. The company advertises them as a way to control constipation, but they work well for us for control of diarrhea. I have accidentally forgotten to take them a couple of times now and had my symptoms come right back. These things are worth their weight in gold.
During a recent MRI, a serious sinus infection was found & I had to take HUGE doses of antibiotics for 10 days. I did not get any secondary infections this time, either.
I had such a miraculous recovery from all my gastro problems that my doctor asked me to get some for him & he's been amazed by them, as well. He dislikes prescribing lomotil & wouldn't take anti-diarrheals himself. He told me the last time that I saw him that he's had similar results for whatever his problems were (too much information, I didn't want to know, lol).
Original review:
I have spent years battling with doctors over what 'disease' I have..Crohn's/IBS/Celiac?? I suffered greatly for over 25 years with raging bouts of cramps & diarrhea. If I took Lomotil or Immodium, they would either not work or cause constipation & even more bloating and gas.
5 months ago I went on a modified version of the Metabolic Syndrome Diet and started an exercise regimen, (I have lost over 50 lbs so far), but whole grains seemed to aggravate me even more. I experienced horrible bloating, sporadic diarrhea & a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen. My GP suggested going on Atkins, but I tried that in the 90's and hated it. I don't eat a LOT of carbs, but I wasn't about to give them up altogether!
I can't eat sugar or milk, so most of the plethora of probiotic products on the market were off-limits, so I decided to try acidophilus. I tried the regular acidophilus tablets and they did not help at all.
I saw these on a gold box special and thought that they made sense. It's only logical that stomach acids would alter the bacteria if eaten in yogurt or cheese (my hubby ate those stupid 'activ' cheeses for 21 days straight with NO benefit at all).
After starting the pearls, my entire digestive system seemed to have miraculously returned to what it was in my teens within days. No gas, no bloating, no diarrhea or constipation (from immodium or lomotil, which I no longer have to take). Now I know what 'regular' means..it's wild!
I always got diarrhea, yeast AND bladder infections from antibiotics. The last round of Cipro I took for a badly infected cut did NOT cause me any problems at all, it had to be because of the probiotics. I used to keep Monostat and Sulfa on hand at all times because of the secondary infections I couldn't avoid. No more!
My husband had digestive problems, as well, and the pearls have caused vast improvement for him, too. The doctor hadn't been able to diagnose what was causing his varying diarrhea/constipation bouts, but they're gone & the doctor let him cancel the $1500.00 colonoscopy he had scheduled (bad insurance). Quite a savings!
I will not be without these Acidophilus Pearls ever again if I can help it! After so many years of suffering, I'm simply flabbergasted that something this simple (& cheap) would solve both our problems so quickly. We found that it took about a week for optimal results.
GET them, they're worth a try & they certainly can't hurt you!

ALIGN 42 CAPSULES Review

ALIGN 42 CAPSULES
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been searching for years for the perfect probiotic and here it is!
Not just for me but for many of my friends who have tried probiotics and been
disappointed. The reason this product works is really simple. Each pill
is individually packaged in a bubble packet which means each pill is only
exposed to the air during the few seconds when it leaves the packet and gets to your mouth.
People who use regular probiotics don't know that the product loses its potency
shortly after the container is opened, even in the frig. It took me hours of research
on the internet to discover this fact. The one product that came up as a perfect answer
to this problem was Align.
At least 10 of my friends have tried the product and have had the same great results that
I have had: they discovered that the product works within 48 hours,
for commonly occurring intestinal disorders, especially for people who have taken antibiotics
over the years. There is nothing like some friendly bacteria to get you back on track!
I will never stop taking this product!!

Peppermint Gels By Now Foods - 90 Softgels Review

Peppermint Gels By Now Foods - 90 Softgels
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had lupus-induced IBS since I was 12, and in the 9 years since, I have tried every IBS medication that has been on (and pulled off) the market. I finally gave up and decided to just live with not knowing when I was going to be in pain, what would trigger it that day, etc. Then I heard about these capsules from a friend, and decided to try it. Words can't express the difference these pills have made! I started by taking one capsule 2-3 times a day, and within a month, I completely stopped having any attacks, or even any of the minor symptoms I used to have. I now only need to take one capsule every day, and it still works! All of the other meds made me tired or had other side effects, or just didn't help at all, but I haven't noticed any side effects in the two months I've been taking this. If you have even minor IBS, you should consider trying these capsules. They're so much safer than the prescription meds out there, they won't make you feel foggy or tired like the Hyomax does, and they work so much better!

Natural Vitality - Natural Calm, 8 oz powder Review

Natural Vitality - Natural Calm, 8 oz powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I eat well. I read a lot of research on health. I'm a Medline junkie. I've tried a lot of different supplements in my time--- probably 40 or 50 different things over the years--vitamins, minerals, herbs. Some of them made me kind of ill, some had a minor positive effect. (For example, I noticed that ginkgo actually did help me think more clearly, at least a little bit.)
None of them, however, made a MAJOR positive impact on my life.
That is, until Natural Calm.
This miraculous substance has improved the quality of my life dramatically!
Here are the things this supplement has helped with:
Sleep--- Basically cured my occasional insomnia, and gives me a deep restful sleep every night.
Stress-- I now feel spectacularly relaxed. Also increased my ability to deal with difficult "crisis" situations.
Mood--- Made me generally happier.
Decreased muscle cramping and soreness.
Improved gums and teeth.
Improved hair loss.
Improved digestion and transit time.
Yeah, hard to believe it cured so many things, right?? Me too!
But out of all the things I have ever taken, this is the ONE THING that I would NEVER be without. It has made that important an improvement in my life. It is almost like a miracle. Really.
There is a huge amount of research on the need in the body for more magnesium than Americans usually consume. Especially important is the ratio of Calcium to Magnesium you consume. In America this ratio is about 4 to 1. Ideally it should be around 1 to 1 or 1.5 to 1. I have settled on a ratio of about 1200 mg Ca and 800 mg Mg per day. (Try "The Magnesium Factor" by Margaret Seelig or "The Magnesium Miracle" by Carolyn Dean here on Amazon if you want more science of magnesium.)
I highly recommend that everyone try this supplement, at least for a week or two. You probably won't need that long. I noticed an improvement in two days. A MAJOR and IMMEDIATE improvement.
If you try it, I'd be curious as to your results. Leave a message in the comments section of my post, if you want.
Here's wishing you great health!

Nature Works - Swedish Bitters Review

Average Reviews:

Swedish Bitters Liquid 33.8 oz.
I have had fibromyalgia for 27 years. Pain started March 1982 it quickly spread up my shoulder down my right back & across to the left side. I was in so much pain everyday. I went to different doctors including bone & joint drs. They could not find anything wrong so I went 15 YEARS hurting with no help at all. Finally I went to my MD Doctor & he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I was given medication & it did help with the pain but it made me a zombie. I could not function. We decreased it but I soon went from 10mg to over 200 mg. Trying to hold a job was had to get going & function in the mornings. It also was recommended that I go to the pain center. At the pain center I would get lots of trigger point injections plus other medications. I tried massages,other natural remedies. Finally December 2005 I threw everything out & quit going for shots. If I was going to hurt I wasn't going to keep putting drugs in my system that was going to cause other problems down the road. A friend of mine also had fibromyalgia she was getting trigger point injections constantly in her stomach. She then was diagnosed & died from stomach cancer. That scared me. I don't know if it was a related but it was close enough for me to say no more drugs. So over the last 4 years I have been blessed with a fiance that will massage & work on my knots in my back & it has helped tremendously. We also use tiger balm & chinese ointments to rub on & it helped for a very temporary relief. NOW we were told about Nature Works Swedish Bitters & I started taking 0n December 16th 09. on Dec 23rd (1 Week later) my pain was completely gone. It was the strangest thing I have ever experienced. To hurt all those years. I was 23 when I was hit with the fibromyalgia & I am now 50. That is a long time to hurt every minute of every day. I never imagined I would be without the pain until the day I died. I have prayed & prayed & I acknowledged to God I knew things happen in his time. As crazy as it sounds I am trying to get use to not hurting. Taking a shower & no pain is strange. Just sitting on the couch & watching a movie with no pain it is a whole different world for me. I take 1 tsp twice a day. The taste soon goes away especially when it helps so much. My fiance's acid reflux is gone. I ordered a bottle for my son because unfortunately he inherited my fibromyalgia in the same places I had it. He has started on it & we are waiting to see if it helps his pain, but he has already said his acid reflux is gone.
Every night when he laid down acid reflux set in but it is gone. I am so thankful for the product it has been a life saver to me. My family & friends can not believe when I tell them that my pain is gone. That is pretty much all they have know for me. This is a miracle in my life.
