Supplement FAQ: BioDoph-7 Plus®
Why you may need BioDoph-7 Plus®:
It is estimated that ~80% of the immune system is found in the gut, and the human body contains more bacteria living inside it than it has individual cells: 100 trillion microorganisms live in the gastrointestinal tract as compared with a mere 10 trillion human cells in the entire body. This means that there are 10X more cells of bacteria living in our intestines than what we possess in all of our bodily tissues put together. The majority of these bacterial strains are beneficial and are important for the development of the immune system. However, periods of stress or illness, fever, diarrhea, diet, the use of certain pharmaceuticals, and surgery can all cause an imbalance of these good bacteria and let bad or opportunistic bacteria and yeasts flourish – which negatively impacts health. Unfortunately, far too many people suffer from some degree of bowel dysbiosis, which can manifest as allergies, dermal irritation, fatigue, mood alterations, headaches, leaky gut, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Now further evidence suggests that obesity and diabetes may be linked with altered gut microflora. Given the prevalence of people that experience one or more of these symptoms, probiotics have the potential to be the unsung hero of overall health support.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends BioDoph-7 Plus® from Biotics Research:
The modern dilemma is that allergies and chronic health conditions are on the rise. Antibacterial soaps, washes, and wipes, chronic dehydration, mercury amalgams, total toxin load, drugs, and nutrient deficient diets have become a scourge on friendly bacteria. Documented research has indicated important benefits associated with the use of probiotic bacteria, including improved digestion, enzymatic activity, and overall modulating effects on the immune system. Formulated in collaboration with Dr. Gary Lasneski, BioDoph-7 Plus® contains a specific blend of 3 prebiotics and 7 probiotics to ensure optimal colonization with bacterial strains recognized for their bioactivity. Each capsule contains 20 billion viable organisms at the time of manufacture and consists of a proprietary blend of Inulin (from Chicory root), Arabinogalactans (from Larch), Marshmallow Root (extract), Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, and Streptococcus thermophilus.

Fibromyalgia: Current Understandings & Integrative Nutritional Approaches
Introduction
Fibromyalgia XE “Fibromyalgia” is commonly described as an idiopathic syndrome principally characterized by widespread body pain and numerous myofascial tender points at specific locations. The condition is most common in women 20 to 50 years old and often presents with associated complaints of fatigue, headaches, subjective numbness, altered sleep patterns, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Fibromyalgia in children and adolescents presents similarly to fibromyalgia in adults except for the comparatively higher prevalence of sleep disturbance and the finding of fewer tender points.1
Until recently, fibromyalgia was considered a diagnosis of exclusion after infection, autoimmunity, or other primary causes were ruled out by clinical and laboratory assessment. However, current criteria base the diagnosis on positive findings of chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain in characteristic locations; these criteria will be described below. Fibromyalgia shares several clinical and demographic features with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); the reason for these overlaps is not generally understood by most clinicians and researchers but will be made plain here.
The prevailing medical view, expressed by clinicians and the authors of widely cited articles, is that fibromyalgia is idiopathic with strong neuropsychogenic influences and that, since the underlying causes of the condition have not been identified, the best therapeutic approach is symptom suppression via perpetual pharmacotherapy with adjunctive use of psychotherapy and limited exercise.2, 3, 4 The term syndrome connotes that a cluster of symptoms is of a nonorganic, psychogenic, or idiopathic nature, whereas disease validates the organic and pathophysiological nature of an illness. This author advocates the use of disease rather than syndrome when describing fibromyalgia in appreciation of the real, organic, biochemical, and histopathological findings which clearly indicate that fibromyalgia is a specific disease entity and not simply a psychogenic or enigmatic cluster of symptoms. If fibromyalgia is a real, organic clinical entity (as will be documented here), then the appropriate designation is fibromyalgia disease XE “fibromyalgia disease” (FMD) rather than fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), as previously and commonly used in the biomedical literature. For consistency and clarity within this section, the general term “fibromyalgia” (FM) will be used.
Clinical Presentation
Fibromyalgia is common, affecting approximately 2% of the U.S. population, and 10% of affected patients have severe symptoms resulting in partial or total disability. Affected patients report chronic aches, pains, and stiffness, with a proclivity for localization near the neck, shoulders, low back, and hips. Pain and fatigue are typically exacerbated following physical exertion or psychological stress. Associated manifestations include fatigue, sleep disorders (including insomnia, unrestful sleep, and objective abnormalities such as an increase in stage 1 sleep, a reduction in delta sleep, and alpha-delta sleep anomaly), subjective numbness, headaches, and IBS-like gastrointestinal disturbances. Clinical findings shared between fibromyalgia and IBS include abdominal pain and discomfort, changed frequency of stool including diarrhea and/or constipation, abdominal bloating and distention, dyspepsia, heartburn, headaches (including migraine), fatigue, myalgias, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, and depression. The high prevalence (>50%) of migraine-type headaches in fibromyalgia patients suggests an underlying pathogenesis shared between cephalgia (ceph=head, algia=pain) and widespread myalgia (myo=muscle, algia=pain), namely impaired mitochondrial function.5 Cognitive symptoms such as “brain fog” and difficulty with memory and word retrieval, as well as environmental intolerance and multiple chemical sensitivity, are seen in both fibromyalgia and CFS6; again, this overlap of shared symptoms suggests a common etiopathogenesis. Routine physical examination and laboratory findings are generally normal, with the exception of fibromyalgia tender points (described and diagramed below).
Diagnosis
Clinical findings: Per guidelines published in 1990 by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), a diagnosis of fibromyalgia can be made in a patient with inexplicable, widespread myofascial pain of at least 3 months’ duration; inexplicable denotes normalcy of routine laboratory and physical examination findings and failure to find an alternate explanation or diagnosis, while widespread denotes bilateral pain above and below the waist not attributable to trauma or rheumatic disease and with pain at 11 of 18 classic tender points (see illustration in video excerpted from book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5sAZvPD3E8 ). Fibromyalgia tender points are assessed bilaterally at 9 paired sites: (sub)occiput, low cervical spine, trapezius, supraspinatus, second rib (anterior, near costosternal junction), lateral epicondyle, gluteal region, greater trochanter, and medial fat pad of the knees. Tender points are provoked by the clinician’s application of approximately 9 pounds of fingertip pressure, which is sufficient to cause blanching of the clinician’s nail bed. The tender points of fibromyalgia are distinguished from myofascial trigger points (MFTP, described by Travell7) and strain-counterstrain tender points (described in the osteopathic literature by Jones8). In contrast to MFTP, which are located toward the center of the muscle fiber and which refer pain and show spontaneous electrocontractile activity9, tender points of fibromyalgia are located near the tendinous insertions of muscle to bone and cause local pain only, without pain referral or contractile activity.
In 2010, new preliminary ACR guidelines for the diagnosis and assessment of fibromyalgia10 were significantly changed from the 1990 guidelines. Very curiously, the authors state that one of their objectives was to create criteria that “do not require a tender point examination”; at first, this seems odd and clinically inconsistent considering that the tender point examination u takes only about 60 seconds to perform, v is noninvasive, w was previously the standard by which the diagnosis was made, and x is reasonable and responsible—physical examination of patients with pain is a reasonable standard of care. Perhaps even more curious is the fact that development of these new guidelines was sponsored by Lilly Research Laboratories, which is the “research and development” department of Eli Lilly and Company, one of the world’s largest drug companies and the manufacturer of duloxetine (Cymbalta®) which is one of the only FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of fibromyalgia.11 Among patients labeled with fibromyalgia, the new criteria increase the percentage of patients diagnosable by criteria from 75% to 88%; whether the motivation to expand the patient population diagnosed with fibromyalgia is altruistic or financially motivated is subject to debate. The authors of the new guidelines note several “important problems” with the 1990 ACR criteria, such as “Patients who improved or whose symptoms and tender points decreased could fail to satisfy the ACR 1990 classification definition” and “there was little variation in symptoms among fibromyalgia patients.” Clinicians should note that these so-called “problems” are not problems at all because patients who improve and thus no longer meet diagnostic criteria should not be considered to have an active disease/diagnosis, and that high-quality clinical criteria should indeed result in the specific definition of clinical disorder and thus in a well-defined cohort of patients; correcting these “problems” results in patients being diagnosed for longer periods of time (longer-term patients-customers) and also results in more patients being diagnosed with fibromyalgia (more patients-customers).
The new criteria rely on a summation of two tallies—widespread pain index (WPI) and symptom severity (SS)—with the diagnosis being supported by either “WPI >7 and SS >5” or “WPI 3–6 and SS >9”. Pain must have been consistent for at least three months and must not be attributable to another cause.

The Importance of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is one of the four fat soluble vitamins stored in the liver; A, D, E and K. The liver is critically important for the metabolism and storage of Vitamin D. Toxic environments can create a challenge for the movement and utilization of all the fat soluble vitamins needed for optimal health. I utilize and encourage a consistent protocol of liver support to receive the total benefit of all the fat soluble vitamins and one of the reasons I also see excellent results using the liquid products from Biotics Research Corporation – the sublingual application increases the assimilation of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D, very simply put, is created naturally by sunshine converting the cholesterol in your skin to Vitamin D. Vitamin D physiologically works by drawing calcium from the intestines and transports it to the blood stream. The real impact of D is due in part to this calcium movement. Calcium glues cells together and when deficient, there is an increase potential for cell membranes to be penetrated by viruses and other foreign invaders. I know when D is low, calcium can be low, and you may notice cold sores.
Vitamin D is very vital and commonly deficient in patients with high blood pressure, bronchitis, MS, chronic infections, bone challenges and a plethora of chronic illnesses. I have tested and found individuals with dark skin tend to have subpar vitamin D levels; I like to see the number be at 40, rarely are patients with pigmented skin above 20. I also have seen bronchitis disappear when the D level was raised from 6 to normal levels. Blood pressure challenges caused by lack of calcium will respond to D supplementation. Calcium relaxes smooth muscles in blood vessels with proper supplementation. Vitamin D helps preserve proper cell life by promoting a process called apoptosis; limited cell life. I generally recommend at least 2000 to 4000 IU of D during the winter months from November until May – depending of course on the test results. I will have my child patients take at least one drop a day during the winter. It is wise to have your patients tested for their D3 levels.

Supplement FAQ: Bio-D-Mulsion Forte®
Why you may need Bio-D-Mulsion Forte®:
Vitamin D is an essential co-factor in bone health. Among several other properties, vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, both of which are needed for bone health. Additionally, vitamin D regulates blood serum levels of these two minerals to maintain adequate mineralization of bone, bone growth and bone remodeling. Researchers from the Harvard Medical School published results of a large-scale study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in February of 2003, confirming that there was a significantly lower risk of hip fractures only in individuals with a higher intake of calcium coupled with a higher intake of vitamin D. Vitamin D also plays several other important roles in human health including regulation of hormonal functions, modulation of neuromuscular and immune functions, reduction of inflammation, and proper gene encoding.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® from Biotics Research:
Vitamin D deficiency is common in the US, and more common in the elderly. It is known that the farther away from the equator you live the more at risk you are. Even worse, a recent study found that approximately 70% of the population of Phoenix AZ had sub-optimal levels of vitamin D. If you wear sunscreen of SPF 8 or more, it is very unlikely that your skin is able to convert sunlight into vitamin D at all. A report published by Danish researchers in March 2004 showed that daily supplementation of vitamin D can reduce the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. A recent study conducted at Children’s Hospital Boston, found that Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® was safe and effective for infants and toddlers. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® was shown to be highly bio-available, as effective as the pharmaceutical preparations it was compared to, and easier to administer. Additionally, Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® is far more cost effective. Clinical studies have shown Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® to be safe and effective for healthy adults, infants and children, as well as for those suffering from prostate cancer. Bio-D-Mulsion Forte® employs Biotics Research’s unique, all natural micro-emulsification, which greatly enhances the uptake and utilization, and is especially important for those having impaired digestive function. This is another example of leading-edge innovation from Biotics Research Corporation, bringing you “The Best of
Science and Nature”.

Am I Vitamin D Deficient?
Vitamin D has been an exceedingly popular topic in the media over the past few years. Despite its frequent mention, however, many people fail to get their vitamin D levels checked because they erroneously think they can’t possibly be deficient as they get plenty of exposure to sunlight.
It is important to note that exposure to sunlight is not an accurate means of predicting vitamin D levels. In fact, there are no clinical signs or symptoms which can consistently or reliably indicate a deficiency status. The best way to determine vitamin D levels is via blood. A simple blood test will determine the amount of vitamin D, also referred to as 25(OH) D* or calcidiol that is present in your blood serum. Doctors and labs vary on what they consider to be a ‘normal’ vitamin D level with most labs currently using a result of below 30 ng/mL (75nmol/L) as an indication of deficiency status. Many practitioners are not familiar with the differences between normal and physiologically ideal levels though, and might overlook sub clinical results or alternately, prescribe inferior forms of vitamin D. In any event, you should request a copy of your lab results so you can track your vitamin D levels should you decide to supplement your diet.
One benefit of the additional media attention vitamin D has drawn, is that the costs of testing have decreased significantly. In fact, most insurance companies cover testing, and it can be ordered as a stand-alone test, or in addition to other tests for little additional cost. For uninsured patients, vitamin D testing usually ranges from $60-$100, with many labs offering it for less especially when combined with other tests.
*Make sure that your doctor orders the correct test. An alternative vitamin D test, the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D exists, but this is not an accurate measure of stored vitamin D levels.

Supplement FAQ: Whey Protein Isolate
Why you may need Whey Protein Isolate:
Whey Protein Isolate is considered by many practitioners to be the premier dietary supplement for protein. It provides the body with the necessary building blocks that are used to build or maintain muscle tissue. In fact, Whey Protein Isolate is a complete protein, containing the full complement of amino acids the body can utilize for optimal physical performance and for increasing glutathione levels. Whey has also been shown to have benefits on hormonal and cellular responses, benefits on immune function and wound healing, and is the perfect adjunct for body builders, moderate exercisers, dieters, and for those taking steps to support healthy aging, cardiovascular health, glucose metabolism, or general wellness. Whey Protein Isolate is a pure and natural high quality protein, rich in amino acids and biologically active lactoferrin (LF), Immunoglobulin (IgG), and glycomacropeptides (GMP). Whey Protein Isolate contains little fat, lactose, or cholesterol, making it an excellent protein choice for individuals of all ages.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends Whey Protein Isolate from Biotics Research:
All whey protein is NOT created equal. In fact, there are significant differences between the 4 main forms of whey. Whey Protein is the “closest to the cow” source. It has undergone the least amount of processing or purifying, thus while it tastes the sweetest, it does not contain the concentrations of health supporting immunoglobulins that the other forms have. In addition, it is the form most likely to induce an allergenic response in dairy sensitive individuals. The second form of whey is Whey Protein Concentrate – and it is exactly what it sounds like – concentrated whey protein. They process the whey in such a manner that they remove some of the milk sugars so that they concentrate the amount of protein and immunoglobulins. You end up with more protein per gram, but you loose something in the overall taste. If you are dairy sensitive, you have about a 50% chance of reacting to it. The third type of whey is Whey Protein Isolate. It is the purest form of whey we’ve discussed so far. The overwhelming majority of the milk sugars have been removed from it, so you get far more protein per serving. Because these milk sugars have been removed from the whey, it ISOLATES the protein and immunoglobulin portions – thus, you end up getting the most nutritional ‘bang for your buck’. This is not a sweet whey, so it is not going to compete for flavors in your palate and most dairy sensitive individuals can readily tolerate Whey Protein Isolate. Lastly, we have Whey Protein Hydrolosate. It is the most refined version of all, however, it tastes so nasty – that it is usually reserved for special needs use as in baby formula for those with digestive disorders. The proteins are broken down or predigested and it is purified to such an extent that most do not consider it a true dairy product – even though it started off that way.
Most whey proteins are processed using technologies which result in the denaturing of the proteins, thereby reducing the biologically active proteins LF, IgG, and GMP. Whey Protein Isolate from Biotics Research is produced using a natural, ultra-low temperature microfiltration method. The result is a product supplying a full balance of bioactive whey proteins with an excellent amino acid profile. Whey Protein Isolate from Biotics Research is devoid of added sugar, artificial flavorings, or soy lecithin and each serving of Whey Protein Isolate supplies 20 grams of naturally complete protein, making it ideal for low-carbohydrate or metabolically balanced diets.

Overcoming Post-Holiday Fatigue and Malaise
The holiday festivities are over, and if you were like most Americans, you probably succumbed to the overabundance of food and beverage during the holiday season. Those of us who overindulged are now experiencing the unpleasant aftermath of a holiday eating spree. Many of the food dishes we eat and the beverages we drink during the holidays are usually not a problem when consumed in moderation. However, excess consumption of macro-nutrients such as carbohydrates, and saturated fats, along with adult beverages, cause them to act as environmental triggers that up-regulate the inflammatory process, resulting in a feeling of fatigue and malaise. I have found the “Easy 3-Step Bio-Detoxification Program” developed by Dr. Abbas Qutab to be the best way to break the self-perpetuating inflammatory cycle brought on by holiday overindulgence.
The Easy 3-Step BioDetoxification Program is simple and easy to follow. Step 1 is the preparatory phase of the program. It deals with hidden food allergies and inflammation by removing common allergens and pro-inflammatory food from the diet and supporting digestive and elimination pathways. Step 2 is the real meat of the program. It addresses the 4 most common underlying causes of chronic inflammation; toxic overload, harmful gut bacteria, heavy metal toxicity, and leaky gut. The holiday eating spree was the “straw that broke the camel’s back”, so to speak, exacerbating the inflammatory effects of the common underlying causes. Step 3 is the regeneration and repair phase of the program. It focuses on providing nutrients for healthy cellular function and pre and probiotics for healthy digestive and immune function.
The Easy 3-Step BioDetoxification Program can dramatically improve your health and reduce inflammation and the associated aches and pains, and move your body to a more healthy state. If you are a healthcare practitioner and want to learn more about how the Easy 3-Step BioDetoxification Program can help you and your patients overcome post-holiday fatigue and malaise, call Biotics Research toll free at 1-800-231-5777.

Supplement FAQ: 10-Day BioDetox Kit
Why you may need the 10-Day Bio-Detox Kit:
All Healthcare Practitioners share common goals in regard to their patients; restore balance & homeostasis, and address the underlying causes of pain, inflammation, and chronic health issues. One of the leading challenges to addressing these clinical goals is the presence of an overwhelming toxic load (endogenous and exogenous), which impairs many pathophysiological systems, including Phase I and Phase II conjugation, and excretion, and may contribute to dysbiosis, increased gut permeability, macronutrient and micronutrient imbalances, and multiple enzymatic imbalances. These widespread physiological disturbances impair the body’s ability to effectively handle health challenges, thus often resulting in chronic health issues which may prove to be resistant to traditional therapies.
Why your healthcare practitioner recommends the 10-Day Bio-Detox Kit from Biotics Research:
The 10-Day BioDetox Kit was formulated with ease of use and patient compliance in mind. Great care went into the creation of this program whereby the liver-gastrointestinal connection and its resulting inflammation are addressed. Conveniently packaged, each 10-Day BioDetox Kit contains 2 bottles of NutriClear®,1 bottle of Whey Protein Isolate, 1 bottle of Bio-Detox Packs™ along with a shaker cup. Practitioners instruct their patients to follow an “anti-inflammatory” diet (included), and consume the 10-Day BioDetox Kit as follows:
Breakfast: 2 scoops NutriClear®, 1 scoop Whey Protein Isolate, and 1 packet Bio-Detox Packs™
Lunch: Light, healthy lunch and 1 packet Bio-Detox Packs™
