NUTRITION INFORMATION: Microorganisms that inhabit our skin and mucus membranes establish a miniature ecosystem with our bodies to maintain health and well being. Although the microflora ecosystem is generally stable, it is sensitive to certain factors. In such cases, the normal flora may be replaces by toxin-producing or pathogenic bacteria that may be associated with all manner of acute symptoms and/or chronic generative disease. Numerous factors can adversely affect the microflora ecosystem, including:

• The use of broad spectrum antibiotics:
• Dietary factors including meats from animals given antibiotics
• Improper fiber intake causing gastrointestinal disturbances
• Fruits and vegetables which often contain residues from pesticides and herbicides
• Pathogeninc mocroorganisms- and other environmental factors which adversely affect the microflora.

When toxin-producing or pathogenic bacteria inhabit the intestine, wide-ranges of effects occur. Several manifestations of these occurrences are listed in Table 1.

These manifestations correlate closely with problems observed in the condition of poly-systemic chronic candidiasis. The first published report of the healthful effects of L. acidophilus, Bifidus and FOS date back to the early 1900's. Since then, numerous reports have been published concerning the beneficial effects of these microorganisms. Results of these studies are summarized in Table 2.

L. acidophilus, L. Bifidus (Bifidus longum), and FOS are all normal inhabitants of the human intestinal tract, and are usually considered for dietary supplementation. The qualities possessed by bacteria used for dietary supplementation are:

1. They should be normal inhabitants of the host intestine or be capable of adapting to the host intestinal environment (e.g. bile resistance).
2. They must survive passage into the intestine and be capable of establishing in the intestine, particularly the small intestine where physiological activities associated with digestion and absorption of nutrients would be expected to occur.
3. They must perform functions that are advantageous to the host.

To emphasize the importance of a balanced microbial population in the healthy intestine, UAS Laboratories has combined these healthful microorganisms into one product. Microorganisms, like nutrients, work in concert. By combining these healthful microorganisms into one product, DDS Plus is a broad-spectrum product providing the complete picture of intestinal microbial protection.

DDS® PLUS: is a complete microorganism supplement for the intestine.

Maintaining Optimum Health with Bifidus
There are over 24 species of Bifidus bacteria. A select few play a major role in human intestinal tracts. Bifidus or bifidobacteria are a type of friendly culture found in the guts of warm-blooded animals including humans. Bifidus plays a major role in maintaining lower or large intestinal flora. They are responsible for normalizing lower intestinal ecology. This function is responsible for keeping pathogenic cultures in check. It is also widely believed by many researchers that bifidus bacteria may play a role in fighting colon cancer and reducing blood cholesterol.

Nutritional Requirements
Bifidus rely on foods that have been greatly pre-digested as a source of nourishment. They do not break down normal carbohydrates but thrive on substrates such as fructooligosaccharides. Neither the human body nor pathogenic cultures can utilize fructooligosaccharides. Bifidus thrives on it. Therefore bifidobacteria share a compatible relationship with humans where they provide us with good health while we give them nourishment.

Of the 24 different species of bifidus, 3 are considered normal inhabitants of the human gut. They include Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium longum. One that is commonly found in low-cost, low quality supplements is Bifidobacterium thermophilus (or Thermophilus) which is found in chickens, cattle and sewage.

When we are born, we do not have friendly cultures in the intestine. We get them from our food including mother's milk. Bifidus can make up of 25% of the intestinal flora of a child! Babies who are not breast-fed have about 10% of the total bifidus found in their guts of the breast fed counterparts.

Bifidus counts typically become lower as children age. Bifidobacterium goes from #1 to #3 most prevalent bacterium in the body. Other friendly cultures become more prominent as children move from mother's milk to solid foods. Scientists believed this to be a normal healthy transition. About the mid 1980's, Mitsuoka and other prominent bifidus researchers brought much new research to show that bifidus can play a large role in maintaining god health in even mature adults. He discovered that a strong correlation existed amongst individuals with large quantities of bifidus in their intestines and their overall health and longevity.

Studies have shown that after antibiotic therapy, an individual wanting to maintain positive bifidus growth should take numerous doses for a substantial period of time, or the culture may not actively take hold in the intestine and grow. Good advice from you doctor may be to supplement on an ongoing basis to maintain good growth. Bifidus longum has been shown to help fight E. coli in mice and is believed to do the same in humans.

Other benefits of bifidus include the manufacture and assimilation of thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B & vitamin K in human intestines. Bifidus is also responsible for removal of bile salts in the large intestine, which may be on of the mechanisms responsible for lowering cholesterol.

Maintaining Optimum Levels
Bifidus is responsible for good health, thus care is needed to keep levels of bifidus adequate in the intestine. Surgery on intestines, or kidney, liver or disease of any of these organs can take a toll on Bifidus populations. Drugs such as penicillin or tetracycline and most antibiotics destroy bifidus in the gut (Rasic & Kurmann 1983).
