In 1982, it was discovered that the vast majority of stomach ulcers are caused by H. pylori, nasty little bacteria found in the gut. In spite of the evidence, it took the U.S. medical community ten years to accept this finding and change their treatment of ulcers. In 2015, scientists have come to an equally startling conclusion: An imbalance in the bacterial community of your stomach can cause not only ulcers, but also a host of other serious and painful disorders― from allergies to diabetes to osteoporosis. Now, best-selling health author Martie Whittekin has written The Probiotic Cure, a guide to overcoming many of our most common health issues. The Probiotic Cure is divided into two parts. Part One is designed to explain what our internal flora is and how it works in our gut. It examines what comprises this living community, specifically focusing on the natural balance of bad and good bacteria. It details how this community can become unbalanced from a poor diet, a toxic environment, or a number of medications, causing negative consequences for your health. It then goes on to explain how balance can be restored safely and effectively by using probiotics―good bacteria that are readily available in supplement form. Part Two provides a listing of the most common health disorders that may arise from a bacterial imbalance. Each entry includes a look at conventional treatments for the disorder along with the probiotics approach. Practical suggestions and points to consider are offered so that you can make the best decision possible for your well-being. Hopefully, it will not take another ten years for the medical community to recognize the power of probiotics. But with this book in hand, you can benefit today from groundbreaking research. The Probiotic Cureprovides a safe, natural, and wonderfully effective alternative approach to treating many of the major health problems of our time.

Read the book, don’t read here and there, to do this you have to understand what is in the book. As with all books about health.
A great reference book, will keep around for a long time. Not everything in the book works for everyone, and some of us just do not need pro or pre biotics. And so it is informational in many ways. I eat green and organic, and so it worked for me. You can go overboard with too many supplements. Read everything she says about starting on them, and don’t over do and think you need 50 billion to start, because you could end up quite ill, something I will not talk about. But one has to know what is going on inside, talk to some people that know, and do not jump off the cliff before you have your parachute on. Also pay attention to the brands and strains she mentions before you run out and have to take your 5 or 20 billion back to the store and stock up on depends because you did not do your research. Follow your own path and get real information before doing this. And remember, goat yogurt is clean, no added sugar, and better for your gut in so many ways. Just one probiotic we seem to be able to tolerate without if or maybe. Yes, not all can tolerate that either. We are all different. Digest the book, then run out if you have to and get your probiotic.

A good overview about probiotics, but with some exegerations
After a long course of taking of antibiotic and suffering of the horrible side effect on my digestive system I have been taking of probiotics with very good results. At the library this book got my attention and I tried to find out more beyond my own research on Probiotics. This book gives a good overview about the probiotics basics. When it comes to digestive and intestine diseases, I am fully agree with her statements, however when it comes to positive effects on many listed diseases (pages 16 to 31). For instance it should help those who are HIV positive (Page 23) I am not quite sure how probiotics can help and where are the evidence for that. And a question comes to my mind is she has limited the recommended brands only to few supplements (Pages 206-207). I personally take another brand than listed and happy with it.At the end I welcome her efforts for putting information together.

Good science, but pronoun challenged
I found this book informative and, unlike many other health books meant for a general audience, not condescending; a breath of fresh air. I learned a great deal about a subject about which my knowledge had been confined to yogurt and sauerkraut. Itâs not a recipe book but rather a digest of scientific knowledge. Good job!I would like to note one amusing sidelight. There is in this country an ongoing discussion, even debate, about pronouns. English teachers must be in seventh heaven to see their subject in the headlines. Women have complained that using the male pronoun not only for men and boys but for everybody is demeaning to them. Thus we have authors who alternate he and she, others who to compensate for past transgressions use only she, and a few old fogies who continue to use he as the plural inclusive. Ms Whittekin seems to have taken this debate to and beyond its logical conclusion with this gem (p. 137): âIf a patient shows up in a medical office with a fuzzy white tongue and a vaginal yeast infection, he or she might be given an antifungal drug.â My wife, an editor and no slouch in the feminist department, got a good laugh.

Even modern medicine is doing a U-turn on the topic of probiotics
This book is for a wider audience than first recognized. If you are thinking probiotic dietary supplements narrowly apply to those individuals who suffer with Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel, Candida yeast infections, etc. you had better do a re-think. The science of human gut bacteria is moving at a very rapid pace and we find the reason why the French consume a diet consisting of fats and cholesterol and yet have leaner bodies, and why the Japanese are lean and long-living is not that they consume wine or miso soup per se but that these fermented dietary factors favorably influence the composition of gut bacteria. When researchers implanted gut bacteria from a lean human into an overweight laboratory mouse and that mouse became lean while eating the same amount of food, modern medicine realized it has been on the wrong street in its attempts to control weight, quell diabetes and limit infection. Every individual who can read needs to scour this book for every tidbit of information that can be learned to improve health and wellness. Surprisingly, modern medicine now embraces probiotics! Read the book and begin learning today. As a side not, the candida questionnaire at the end of Martie Whittekin’s book is very valuable. You might start the book there. For those who embrace self-help health, no home health library should be without this book. –Bill Sardi, Knowledge of Health, Inc.

Martie Whittekin has written a fantastic book that is well researched. This book outlines the importance of pro and pre-biotics and the value of those bacterias for the foundations of our health. Great read; really eye-opening.
