LOW
FLORA LEVELS
Symptoms of decreased levels of micro-flora are wide and varied. They include bad breath,
cold sores, constipation, diarrhea, toxemia, vaginitis, yeast infections and chronic
infections such as acne. SALIVAREX is the perfect supplement to help replenish healthy
bowel ecology, which will naturally control these conditions.

BACTERIA
Bacteria are everywhere. We swallow them with our food, drink them with water, they are in
the air we breathe, on our skin, in our mouths, digestive tract, sinuses and other areas
of our bodies. In so far as health is concerned, some of them are harmful, some neutral
and some are very beneficial. Some are extremely valuable for good health as they work
harmoniously with our immune system. In a healthy colon, there are literally billions of
beneficial or "friendly" bacteria. Under favorable conditions, they multiply at
a fast enough rate to keep pace with the large numbers that are lost during elimination.
Bacteria is also referred to as micro-organisms. When they are located in the intestinal
tract, they are referred to as "intestinal flora," micro-flora or sometimes just
"flora."
These friendly bacteria synthesize many important vitamins in the
digestive tract including Vitamin K and some of the B vitamins. A very important function
they perform is helping the colon maintain a proper pH or acid-base balance. It is
necessary for the pH to stay in the correct range in order for other health supporting
bacteria to exist. It is also important to keep levels of antagonistic micro-organisms
under control.
LOW
LEVELS
At times, the taking of antibiotics can be necessary, even life saving. When we take them
to kill off the infectious bacteria, we also destroy large amounts of the beneficial flora
in our digestive tracts. When the level becomes disturbed, or when the bowel ecology
becomes out of balance, health problems can develop. In this instance, it is important to
replenish the friendly bacteria as soon as possible in order to maintain good health. They
can be replaced by concentrating on eating foods they are contained in and supplementing
with SALIVAREX.
Dairy products are a good source of friendly lactobacillus, especially
yogurt and kefir. However, the milk that most people drink today is pasteurized, or heated
to about 165 degrees F. So, for the most part, we have lost this source of lactobacillus
in our diets and are not receiving the quantities of these bacteria in our diets as we
used to. It is a good idea to routinely eat some live culture containing foods such as
yogurt, kefir, etc. Be sure the products are guaranteed to contain live cultures. It is
actually best to make your own yogurt to be assured of bacteria content.
Bad breath is usually a good indication that normal bacteria levels are
low. When lactobacillus levels are low in the colon, partially digested food decays,
produce foul gas and toxemia. The prevalence of cold sores (herpes simplex), constipation,
diarrhea, acne, vaginitis, headache, symptoms of hypoglycemia, yeast infections and others
are often signs of low flora levels.
DAIRY
& LACTOSE
Many people seem to be allergic to dairy products. The primary reason is quite often not
that they are truly allergic to them but that they cannot deal with the lactose (commonly
called milk sugar) contained in the dairy products. They cannot digest lactose, or milk
sugar, and this can lead to allergies, headaches, cramps, mucous formation and many other
health problems. The various kinds of lactobacillus bacteria can digest it. This is why
many people can eat yogurt, cultured milks and kefir even though they cannot handle dairy
products like milk, cheese, ice cream, etc.
VIRUS
AND YEAST
Cold sores, caused by the herpes simplex virus, are a reliable indicator that micro-flora
is becoming lower than acceptable. Constipation and diarrhea can develop from decreased
levels of friendly bacteria.
It is believed that yeast infections, including thrush, vaginitis, and
vaginal infections with abnormal amounts of discharge, are associated with decreased
micro-flora levels. Anyone with chronic infections should consider supplementing with
lactobacillus as they support the immune system and help restore healthy ecology. People
with toxemia and those going through any kind of detoxification program should supplement
with SALIVAREX.
UNIQUE
FORMULA
SALIVAREX contains the four most useful types of lactobacillus for supplemental use. The
Acidophilus and Bulgaricus strains quite often occur together in nature. Bifidus is an
extremely beneficial strain and usually not contained in this type of supplement as it is
expensive and difficult to produce. Bifidus is normally present in the digestive tracts of
newborn babies. While the babies are breast feeding it usually maintains its levels and
can multiply. As they grow older and are exposed to whole milk and other foods,
Lactobacillus Bifidus disappears.
One special feature of SALIVAREX is that it contains a large quantity
of Lactobacillus Salivarius, a unique strain of highly specialized super micro-flora. This
highly active organism neutralizes many pathogens which thrive in an unhealthy colon. It
has the ability to dramatically increase energy levels by breaking down undigested
proteins making them available for use.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
SALIVAREX is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants. When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the
numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.
HOW TO
TAKE SALIVAREX
SALIVAREX capsules should be kept in the refrigerator. It is a good idea to take a bottle
of SALIVAREX every three or four months for routine replenishing. When low levels of
lactobacillus are obvious, four capsules can be taken three to six times a day until one
bottle is used to build up levels quickly. Then, one or two capsules twice a day. Many
people supplement once or twice a day as an ongoing way to keep their levels of friendly
bacteria up-to-par. SALIVAREX capsules can also be opened and placed into baby formula or
sprinkled on food.
SALIVAREX is nutritionally helpful to maintain a healthy colon. The
Life Plus Products ECOLOGY NO. 3™ and COLODYNE™ are compatible with SALIVAREX. ECOLOGY
NO. 3 is a highly concentrated powder that contains large quantities of all four
lactobacillus strains, but SALIVAREX is more concentrated with L-Salivarius.
