Two pharmacists, Kelly Karpa, Ph.D., R.Ph. and Robert Listecki, R.Ph., and two bacteriologists, Robert Deibel, Ph.D. Bacteriology and Dave Sullivan, B.S. Bacteriology, collaborated on the health benefits of the new findings of high quality Symbiotic therapy. Dave Sullivan reports the following three bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum strain Bb-12, and Bifidobacterium longum (the components of Florajen 3) survive oral dosing (resistant to bile degradation) the best and multiply the fastest thereby occupying the greatest space to compete and reduce the numbers of disease causing microorganisms in the intestinal tract. Adding a prebiotic of 95% fructooligosaccharides (FOS) greatly enhances this activity, creating Symbiotic therapy. FOS is also called "fast food" for the friendly bacteria that keeps us healthy.
Dr. Kelly Dowhower Karpa has explained the benefits to health in her book, "Bacteria for Breakfast; Probiotics for Good Health." It was the near loss of her son to Clostridium difficle diarrhea that laid the foundation for her book. Dave Sullivan has claimed Dr. Karpa's book to be the best on the subject to date. The serious intestinal infection by the Clostridium difficle microorganism creates problems in hospitals and nursing homes with some patients expending thousands of dollars and months of suffering trying to eradicate the infection. She has seen complete resolution of C. difficle with just two days of therapy.
Robert Listecki has followed the lead of this information with success in over 800 patients with hundreds of related health problems using Symbiotic therapy. Because this nutritional therapy is not patentable and not supported by millions of dollars in clinical studies, the prudent pharmacist must think in the mode of N=1 clinical trial and follow up with each patient's level of success or side effects. If you have time to talk to your patients you can dramatically improve their health with Symbiotic therapy.
Florajen 3® - A Probiotic
Our bodies contain 10 trillion cells but the number of cells that live in our intestinal tract and surface of the skin are 100 trillion cells, meaning we are only 10% of ourselves. It then becomes clearer that these 400 to 500 different microorganisms compete for space every 20 to 40 minutes (72 life cycles in 24 hours). It is conceivable that this therapy can affect health in such a dramatic fashion.
You may be wondering how our bodies acquire these organisms. When we are born we should acquire Lactobacillus acidophilus from the birth canal and bifidobacteria, the most plentiful friendly bacteria, from breast feeding. These bacteria then colonize and keep us healthy for life. After age 50 the bifidobacteria decrease at a steady rate until our death. Therefore, now we see why older people can have more problems from the list of conditions reported.
We can also alter these 100 trillion intestinal population toward less friendly varieties by antibiotic use, steroid therapy, and by our diet. High glycemic index carbohydrates (sugars) feed yeast over more friendly bacteria and cause their numbers to increase, disrupting the balance of "good" and "bad" microorganisms. High fiber, low glycemic index carbohydrates favor more friendly microorganisms. Understanding these facts gives stronger meaning to the saying, "You are what you eat".
