PMID: 12088524 This study is 17 years old, but it still has greatly impacted our clinical practice. The researcher’s intent was to find out what prebiotic supplementation would do to the gut bacteria of babies and toddlers in preschool. In the end, they found that FOS supplementation did increase beneficial bacteria, but it had another incredible effect—significantly fewer sick days! Fructooligosaccharide (FOS and sometimes called oligofructose) is a prebiotic fiber that boosts levels of Bifidobacteria in the gut. Good food sources of FOS include: Onion Asparagus Chicory Garlic Greenish Banana Artichoke Yacon Burdock FOS can also be taken as a supplement; kids usually love it because it tastes like sugar! #holistickids #prebiotics #guthealthtips #immuneboost

There’s nothing stupid about increasing insulin sensitivity and reversing type 2 diabetes.

There’s nothing stupid about reversing autoimmune symptoms.

There’s nothing stupid about relieving depression and anxiety.

There’s nothing stupid about decreasing inflammation and giving Lyme disease patients relief.

There’s nothing stupid about losing weight, decreasing blood pressure, and improving your metabolic health.

When we fast, whether for spiritual or medical reasons, the process tends to uncover a lot of things, emotional and spiritual. WHAT IF…..a nutritional/ medical fast led someone to some spiritual questions and that patient encountered God??

Would you be interested in a group fast, spiritual or medical? Watch for a link. We will grow and heal together! Bless!!
