my doctor suggested this stuff, and i have to save, my gut feels much better. Also know to keep you regular, which is certainly a bonus. Through the grapevine I have learned that many alternative practitioners recommend this product to their patients.

I have been using Primal Defense for years. It helps balance my digestive system. It’s easier to take and more effective than tons of yogurt. The seller did a fine job of getting my Primal Defense to me quickly. Kudos!

I bought this product after reading all the good reviews thinking it would help me also. At first I had the usual bloating that was expected. I took it for about 3 weeks. I only took one scoop a day. I developed a red spotted rash under both eyes with hives! I was shocked when I saw it in the mirror! I also purchased their multi for women so I didn’t know what was causing it. I stopped the multi first. . . no change. Sadly I had to stop the Primal Defense and the next day my rash was half gone. I don’t know what they put in it, but I’m apparently allergic to it. I’ve never had a reaction to probiotics like that. Must be the controversial soil bugs. . maybe we’re not supposed to eat dirt? I hope this is helpful for anyone who is sensitive to supplements like I am and have this reaction. So far I seem to be the only one who has. I’m going back to acidophilus!

I really can’t rate these as I haven’t seen any difference in myself. I have been eating differently along with this product. I don’t know what they are supposed to make me feel like. Garden of Life Primal Defense HSO Probiotics Formula, Caplets, 180-Count Bottle

FDA warned Jordan Rubin (Maker’s Diet)
Consumer Health Digest #04-25 Your Weekly Update of News and Reviews June 22, 2004 ‘Maker’s Diet’ author tied to illegal supplement marketing. The FDA has ordered Garden of Life of West Palm Beach, Florida, to stop making unsubstantiated claims for ‘Q-Zyme,”Primal Defense,’ ‘Virgin Coconut Oil,’ ‘Fungal Defense,’ ‘FYI (For Your Inflammation),’ ‘RM-10,’ ‘Revivall Classic,’ or other products. [Singleton ER. Warning letter to Robert U. Craven. May 11, 2004] The company was founded by Jordan S. Rubin, ‘NMD, PhD, CNC,’ who claims to have cured himself of ‘intestinal parasites, severe Candida, extreme anemia, food allergies, diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, poor circulation, liver problems, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, prostate and bladder infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic depression. ‘ Rubin’s credentials have no legitimate academic or professional standing: * His NMD (naturopathic medical doctor) is from the Peoples University of the Americas School of Natural Medicine, a nonaccredited school with no campus. * His Ph. D. is from the Academy of Natural Therapies, a nonaccredited correspondence school that the State of Hawaii ordered to close last year. * His CNC (Certified Nutritional Consultant) comes from the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, whose only requirement for ‘professional member’ status has been payment of a $50 or $60 fee. The CNC requires passage of a test based mainly on the contents of books that promote nutrition quackery. Rubin’s book, ‘The Maker’s Diet,’ is number 14 on the New York Times list of hardcover advice books. The book’s Web site states that Rubin ‘uses Biblical and scientific resources to provide a uniquely holistic wellness program. ‘ Entrepreneur Magazine listed Garden of Life as the fifth fastest-growing company in America, with 2003 sales of $43. 2 million. log on www. fda. com search for Garden of Life
