n 2002, we introduced
Microflora Restore, what to that time was the broadest,
most complete probiotic yet introduced on the market. (It was a component of our
Liver / Colon Cleansing Program.)
The product was so well-received by customers that for years after
Microflora Restore was made unavailable, customers begged to see the product returned.
During these intervening 15 years, many things have changed -- not the least of which is the emergence of a burgeoning probiotic market that seeks to address the ecological and epidemiological nightmare that has been created by a food system awash in toxic rescue chemistry (1) --- herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, etc. and their metabolites, poisoning the general public and polluting water supplies (2) --- of which the most damaging may be Roundup glyphosate. (3) Added to this is the plague of increasingly stronger antibiotics and their metabolites, which also contribute to the problem. (4) All animals, humans included, have a symbiotic relationship with microbes. (5) In fact, there are vital nutrients that humans cannot obtain in proper quantities without them. (6) As the food supply has become increasingly hostile to the maintenance of proper microbial balance, so has the need for probiotic and prebiotic supplementation in order to ward off the diseases and degenerative conditions that microbial imbalance inevitably brings. (7) Although proper food selections and reliance on organic sources can help minimize these effects, they by no means provide complete protection. (8) Why Probiotics Need Minerals &
Why Good Mineral Absorption Requires Probiotics
It has been known for many years that bacteria, the
microscopic animals that they are, have mineral nutritional requirements, just like we do. (9)
It has also been established that microbes are ubiquitous in our geophysical environment and
among its most transformative agents, leaving no element untouched. (10) They are even
capable of neutralizing radioactive materials, like cesium, "which they transmute to
stable, non-radioactive elements." (11)Conversely, those with even an elementary knowledge of probiotics know that certain bacteria (in this case, Lactobacilli, as found in Microflora Restore) are vital to human nutrient by enhancing the production of Vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, K, biotin, and bile acids. (12) Fewer know that bacteria play an important role in making vital minerals like calcium bioavailable for better assimilation. (13)(14) More recently, it was discovered that probiotics use indigestible carbohydrates like oligofructose, galactooligosaccharides and inulin to " bind and sequester the minerals and these carbohydrate-mineral complexes pass unabsorbed through the small intestine onto the colon when the minerals are released from the complex and absorbed." (15) The Scope of Man's True Mineral Nutrient
What does officialdom include in our daily mineral requirements?
To the present date, the only minerals recognized as
warranting consideration as human nutrients and/or nutritional labelling by the orthodox community
are: boron, calcium, chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum,
nickel, phosphorus, selenium, vanadium, and zinc, or fifteen elements. (16)
The USDA recognizes the following minerals as nutrients: calcium, copper, flouride, iron,
magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, and zinc, or eleven elements. (17)
By contrast, the U.S. FDA, for the purposes of labelling, recognizes the following:
sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper,
manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and chloride, or fourteen elements. (18) Were one to
believe these institutions, one would conclude that man's mineral nutritional needs are on par
with house plants. (19)Requirements Has Been Dramatically Understated By Orthodox Nutrition & Regulatory Authorities What a coalescence of time, thought, observation, experimentation, and genius have taught us, however, is that we are not house plants. For optimal health, our needs are different. Our mineral requirements are much more varied, something that is reflected in the omnivorous human dietary smorgasbord that one finds as they travel the world. (20) The human genome doesn't call for 11 or 14 or 15 officially-recognized minerals. It calls for at least 64 . . . and the probiotics necessary to maximize their absorption. (21) Many of the most vital minerals necessary for normal human function are not even recognized by officialdom -- not by government officials, dietitians, nutritionists, or the rest of the official medical establishment. Indeed, the average person has not even familiar with these minerals, if they have heard of them at all -- ever. And, of course, examples abound: For example, yttrium (element 39) is vital to normal brain function -- whose absence or deficiency leads to the body choosing calcium as a substitute, which itself leads to calcification. Lou Gehrig's disease, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease "all relate to yttium deficiency." (22) (These conditions respond to yttrium-based Bifidobacterium bifidum, an important bacterium in the Microflora Restore II formula.) Another completely overlooked mineral -- critical to human functioning, is lanthanum (element 57). Our DNA code "calls for mass amounts of the stuff." So vital is this element that it is called for 36,356,923 times in the sequenced genome -- that we know of. (23) Vanadium (element 23) was proven to be an essential mineral in 1971, and its deficiency is associated with "slow growth, increased infant mortality, infertility, elevated cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity." (24) It is beyond the scope of product introduction to delineate every human mineral need, but it is worth noting that even mineral supplementation advocate, Dr. Joel Wallach, whose work preceded that of Dr. Richard Olree by over a decade, noted that of the 79 minerals detected in human and animal tissue, at least 60 were worth considering as "essential." This statement is supported by thousands of scientific studies. (25) All these "proposed" essential minerals play prominently in the Microflora Restore II formula, coming from four separate mineral sources -- three of them concentrated sea vegetables from Iceland and Main: Norwegian kelp (Ascophyllum nosodum), Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus), Oarweed (Laminaria digitata), and "Middle Earth" mineral salts from Ecuador. Note: the sea vegetables used in Microflora Restore II are Certified Organic. The Importance of Prebiotics:
In addition to its mineral probiotic support,
Microflora Restore II contains a superior, bioactive form of Leonardite
(with a 15% fulvic acid content) to help feed and nourish the probiotics in the formula.
Our humate source is fossilized peat, derived from ancient freshwater plants. It is
highly bioactive, unlike other forms of Leonardite, which have broad industrial applications,
but are less unsuitable for human consumption, if suitable at all.Putting It All Together Additionally, we include this form of humate, because it is effective in sequestering heavy metals, which can be found even in organically-grown sea vegetation. (26) Based on all currently available research -- now 15 years since the introduction of our first probiotic -- we feel this is the best combination for a fully functioning, broad-based probiotic / prebiotic / mineralization formula.

Deep in the Andeans highlands of Central Ecuador
rests the small village of Salinas de Guaranda. I have never met a healthier, happier, or
more fun-loving lot of people. When I visited in February (2017), I saw a small boy, probably
not even four years old, riding his alpaca about two kilometers outside of town. No one else was
in sight. He was out on the lonely road all by himself with his alpaca. The animal was
heavily weighed down with supplies and the boy used both hands to keep provisions in place.
Subtle signs of this kind of vitality permeate the village. As you read below . . . the secret of
these Andeans is their mineral supplementation and the biotics in their diet. One of the
components of Microflora Restore II is the dehydrated mineral salt that locals tout
for its health benefits. This mineral salt is known to spring up from beneath nearby
Chimborazo, the world's
highest mountain as measured from Earth center.

What's In
As was the case with
the original Microflora Restore formula, the beneficial bacteria
in Microflora Restore (listed below by species) are
all Class I bacterial agents as
rated
by the American Type Culture Collection Catalogue (301-881-2600)
in Rockville, Maryland (USA). (Thus, even in the U.S.,
they are legal under the Federal Register, Vol. 54 #38,
1989). Class 1 bacteria are rated as "of no or minimal
hazard under ordinary conditions."Microflora Restore II? Primary Pribiotic Nutrients

Microflora Restore II uses a specifically minded type of leonardite for its primary base material. Our leonardite possesses many of the same functionary properties as Shilajit in India, which has been prized for millennia for its curative properties. Our leonardite's primary composition is natural, organic humates, with a high percentage (15%) of bioactive fulvic acid, upon which healthful bacteria thrive. The primary constituent of the Leonardite in Microflora Restore II (as there are different grades) is humic acid, a bio-stimulant and itself the result of millions of years of organic decomposition. It provides healthy bacteria with a carbon source for good. Microflora Restore II is approximately 48% leonardite. Microflora Restore II contains the following elements and trace minerals, the majority (by weight) in easy-to-absorb organic form. Some of these, especially the heavier "metals," occur in extremely minute amounts, measureable in parts per billion, or even smaller -- and yet they all contribute to the restoration of the genetic code (see main article at left):

Are Probiotics Safe?
Unlike most medications
probiotics don`t seem to have any side effects. A recent review identified
143 human clinical trials of probiotics between 1961 and 1998, involving
more than 7,500 subjects, with no adverse effects being reported.
