Primal Defense (Homeostatic Soil Organisms) for Parasites and Candida:
From the book "Beyond Probiotics" by Ann Louise Gittleman

"In the human gastrointestinal tract there are hundreds of microscopic life forms that live in a symbiotic relationship with one another. When the immune system breaks down, the body is left wide open for invasion of pathogenic organisms such as candida (yeast) and parasites. When taken on a daily basis, the Primal Defense HSO's set up a protective grid in the body and stimulate the immune system to ward off against all forms of bacteria, yeast, fungi and parasites. When the Primal Defense HSO's colonize in the gastrointestinal tract here is simply no place for the pathogenic organisms to live. Primal Defense HSO's change the intestinal environment and can prevent the body from infestation of these dangerous organisms. Without Primal Defense HSO's, parasites and candida are free to wreak havoc in the digestive tracts of susceptible individuals.

Parasitic Infection (Parasites): Recent medical research suggest that 3 out of 5 Americans will be infected by parasites, at some point in their lives! Often going undetected, they live off of our bodies and reproduce rapidly. Parasites can rob the body of essential nutrients and can lead to serious illness or even death. (See book 'Guess What Came To Dinner' by Ann Louise Gittleman, Avery Publications 1993, for more information on parasites.)

Candidiasis (Candida): Everyone has candida, a form of yeast that is normally found in the human digestive tract, the vagina, and on the skin. In healthy individuals with strong, functioning immune systems, it is harmless and kept in check by the beneficial bacteria occupying the same space. When the balance of intestinal bacteria is altered and the immune system becomes compromised, candida begins to proliferate, infecting organs and tissues of the boy. The candida becomes pathogenic, transforming from a simple benign yeast into an aggressive fungus that can severely compromise one's health."

What are HSOs^™(Homeostatic Soil Organisms)?
The main component in Primal Defense^™ is the HSOs^™, which have been used for over 22 years by thousands of health practitioners. The naturally occurring colony arrays of probiotics are non-mutated from the original cultures found in unpolluted soil and plants and are now cultured in U.S. laboratories using the discoverer's proprietary methods.The HSOs^™ are in a substrate of nutrient rich superfoods providing vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and proteins. The probiotics are then made dormant using the Microflora Delivery System^™, which protects the probiotics and delivers them directly to the GI tract where they multiply and flourish.

How do HSOs^™ Work?
Impervious to stomach acids and the digestive process, the microorganisms move through the stomach to the intestinal tract where they form colonies along the intestinal walls. HSOs^™ multiply in the intestines and actually compete with harmful bacteria and yeasts for receptor sites, crowding out the pathogens and taking up residence. Once established, the organisms quickly begin producing the proper environment to absorb nutrients and help to re-establish the proper pH. According to early research and anecdotal evidence the following is a summary of the actions of HSOs^™.

• HSOs^™ work from the inside of the intestines dislodging accumulated decay on the walls and flushing out waste.
• HSOs^™ break down hydrocarbons, a unique ability to split food into its most basic elements allowing almost total absorption through the digestive system. This increases overall nutrition and enhances cellular development.
• HSOs^™ produce specific proteins that act as antigens, encouraging the immune system to produce huge pools of uncoded antibodies. This increased production of antibodies may significantly boost the body's ability to ward off diseases.
• HSOs^™ are very aggressive against pathological molds, yeasts, fungi, bacteria, parasites and viruses.
• HSOs^™ work in symbiosis with somatic (tissue or organ) cells to metabolize proteins and eliminate toxic waste.
• HSOs^™ stimulate the body to produce natural alpha-interferon. Alpha interferon is a potent immune system enhancer and a powerful inhibitor of viruses.
• HSOs^™ provide critical Lactoferrin supplementation. The microbes produce lactoferrin as a by-product of their metabolism. Lactoferrin is an iron binding protein essential for retrieving iron from foods.

What is the difference between Primal Defense^™ and other Probiotics?
Even if they manage to get through the destructive stomach acids, most probiotic supplements can have a hard time implanting in colons that are pH imbalanced or have too many harmful bacteria. HSOs^™ are designed to implant in any colonic environment. The Microflora Delivery System^™ makes sure that the probiotics colonize throughout the digestive tract where they can work their magic. The probiotics contained in Primal Defense^™ are grown and incorporated into a living whole food substrate using the Poten-Zyme^™ process. This puts the bacteria into their home, if you will, allowing them to thrive on their long journey through the GI tract. Most probiotics on the market today will grow bacteria and then, in a centrifuge, separate them from their substrate. We believe the substrate is as important as the probiotics themselves. Many probiotics have included fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in their product. FOS is an indigestible sugar that may cause digestive disturbances in certain individuals. Primal Defense contains no FOS. Since most probiotic supplements contain live cultures, they are temperature and age sensitive; therefore requiring refrigeration. If room temperature can begin to degrade these probiotics, imagine what the warm human body will do. The HSOs^™ are dormant in the caplet and activated by fluids. Primal Defense^™ requires no refrigeration. Many probiotics on the market measure their potency in colony forming units (CFU). In Primal Defense^™, it's not the quantity of probiotics, it's the quality. The probiotics in Primal Defense^™ are hardy and are designed to resist heat, cold, stomach acid, chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid and bile. The efficacy of a probiotic should be based upon the ability of the product to "on ferment" foods. If you want to test the viability of a probiotic product, simply drop a few caplets in 2-4 ounces of milk and leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours. If the probiotic is viable, the milk will change to a thick yogurt-like consistency. This measures the ability of a probiotic to produce enzymes and break down or pre-digest food. If a probiotic cannot pass this simple test, do you think it will be capable of doing it's job in your body?

What are Physicians saying about Primal Defense^™?
"I have literally put thousands of people on Primal Defense^™, which is incorporated into a full detoxification program by me. The product is an incredibly potent and effective agent for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and most especially for this condition's subset, Crohn's disease." Joseph Mercola, DO

"I believe Primal Defense^™ is applicable as a food supplement for everyone, whether a person is sick or not. Where people specifically find advantages in using Primal Defense^™ is in situations involving chronic disease of gut origin. Since my expertise lies in the area of gastrointestinal disorders, this product is the primary therapy that I utilize on a routine basis. People with arthritis, chronic constipation, Crohn's disease, colitis, and other gut-linked systemic conditions improve by supplementing with Primal Defense^™." Joseph Brasco, MD

"I use quite a bit of Primal Defense^™ for tough cases of bowel toxemia and irritable bowel syndrome. My patients like it, and I attest to Primal Defense^™ being a superior product for gut metabolism." James Privatera, MD

"Almost all people who consult me for the care of irritable bowel syndrome, candidiasis, Lyme disease, or infections get their gut flora changed to healthier consistencies by my prescribing Primal Defense^™ for them. I am invariably using one of the lactobacillus preparations, and the HSOs^™ of Primal Defense^™ are the top of the line, the ŒCadillac' of lactobacilli." Seldon Nelson, DO

"For many years now I have been involved in alternative medical care and integrated medicine. In the search for effective, safe remedies, I am constantly reviewing product claims and anecdotal reports. More often than not they fail to meet my expectations, that is, except for Primal Defense^™. This product generated the most affirmative response I have ever seen." Charles Hamel, MD

Two Primal Delivery Systems
Primal Defense^™ comes in two easy to use forms: Powder and UltraZorbe^™ caplets. UltraZorbe^™ caplets utilize a proprietary technology which requires no heat and fully preserves the delicate probiotics and enzymes contained in the product. UltraZorbe^™ caplets are designed to provide rapid disintegration and dissolution to completely deliver the nutrients in a timely fashion. Just drop a few caplets in water and see for yourself.
