O'Donnell Formulas Flora Balance is a unique pro-biotic containing a remarkable bacillus, bacillus laterosporus BOD which was discovered in a pristine area of Iceland in the 1980s. FloraBalance has been used successfully to control pathogens including candida albicans, to normalize the digestive system eliminating constipation and diarrhea, and in alleviating the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Health organizations including the Candida Research and Information Foundation have given Flora Balance glowing reports based on trials. Flora-Balance is free of gluten, dairy, and animal products.

BOD is a single-cell life form, or bacteria, that helps protect soil nutrients needed by plants to grow. When the plants are consumed, so is BOD, which helps you keep a healthy colon and strong immune system. Further research has been found that BOD is an important key to your overall health, as it:

• Stimulates the immune system to produce more antibodies that fight bad bacteria and viruses
• Improves digestion by breaking down food in the intestines, and assists in the elimination of toxins
• Helps guard against unfriendly bacteria that cause illnesses and produce toxins that further infiltrate the body's ecosystem

Your body's supply of BOD is killed off by stress; frequent use of antibiotics; drugs and chemicals in food and water; synthetic fertilizers and pesticides; and a high consumption of sugar. When this happens health problems may develop. Symptoms include fatigue, "brain fog," digestive upsets, or a suppressed immune system. A hundred years ago, the BOD supply was naturally replenished from eating fruits and vegetables. But, today, the soil used to grow food supply no longer contains BOD. The good news is there is Flora-Balance, which is a probiotic with a unique strain of bacillus laterosporus. It helps populate your intestines with beneficial bacteria, and:

• Can dramatically influence the health and well-being of your entire body
• Helps to maintain a healthy colon
• Enhances the immune system
• Helps in digestion and absorption of nutrients
• Has been helping patients for 14 years.
• Is doctor-recommended
• Survives stomach acids so you can get the full benefits of Flora-Balance

Every day your body is bombarded with unwanted toxins and bacteria. They get into your body through food, water and the environment, both inside and outside the home. Your digestive system is home to approximately 70% of the immune system. Keeping it healthy is key to ridding your body of toxins and controlling the amount of damaging, bad bacteria residing in your digestive tract.

There are an estimated 100 trillion microorganisms, representing more than 500 different species that inhabit a healthy bowel. Both good and bad bacteria coexist in the digestive tract. The good bacteria, or microflora, keeps bad bacteria in check, aids digestion and nutrient absorption, supports the immune system, and helps keep the colon healthy.

A healthy colon plays an important role, along with the liver and kidneys, in ridding your body of toxins. When there is an imbalance of bad to good bacteria, the colon can become loaded with waste materials. This will the prevent the other organs from completing their roles in the elimination process. The rotting waste sitting in the colon in turn increases the growth of bad bacteria. To avoid an overgrowth of bad bacteria it is important to maintain a high good-to-bad bacteria ratio. Unfortunately, good bacteria are killed off by stress, a poor diet, or certain medications, particularly antibiotics that kill the good bacteria along with the bad.
