With New Orleans still rebounding from Hurricane Katrina's
devastation, having their Saints win their first Superbowl
seems like a miracle. Regardless of who you were rooting
for last night, you've just got to be happy for this
underdog.
It must be a day for miraculous stories. Because I've got
another one for you.
This one completely blew me away.
Wait until you read about the miraculous changes in Genie's
4 year old granddaughter!
So here's Genie's story (have some tissues ready):
*******************
Dear Sherry:
I've been reading the testimonials you send out for months
now. I had purchased your Great Taste No Pain plan when I
was searching for a way to control my own heartburn and
acid reflux. I knew that the drugs were bad for me and I
was looking for a holistic answer to help when I found your
site.

The results were fast and dramatic and I've had no acid
issues since starting the program.
I went on to order and use Super Shield Probiotic formula
for myself and now I cannot ignore the fact that at 63 I am
three times healthier than my young coworkers and even my
own 33 year old daughter.
Erin was a preemie at 26 weeks and 1 lb. 12oz. She almost
died 3 separate times and finally came home at 6 months
with a shunt in her brain and a colostomy bag after gastric
surgery to remove necrotic intestinal tissue that was
literally killing her.
She has developed slowly but is very delayed. She has
mild Cerebral Palsy on her right side - a result of the
Stage 4 brain bleed that she was born with. No one knows
her long term mental and physical prognosis but we've been
told she has a lot going for her.
Her Neurologist told my daughter before she left the NICU
that, although all the lobes of her brain are intact and
present, they are not configured normally - a product of
spending 6 months in a crib. He was confident at that time
that Erin could grow and develop effective messaging
pathways within the brain over time but he could not
predict this with certainty.
So we have always concentrated on stimulating Erin and
have found that repetitive, simple actions work best over
time. Progress can be very slow, however, and for months
during the last half of 2009 as she was approaching her 4th
birthday, Erin didn't seem to make any progress.
We knew from testing that she wasn't autistic - she's far
too affectionate for that anyway - but we couldn't get her
to actually play with a toy or interact with her sister who
is one year younger.
I read your case study regarding a mother who gave her
autistic child Super Shield and had huge success. I knew
Erin was not autistic but after her gastric surgeries (she
had her intestines reattached to her colon at 14 months)
she's had acid reflux issues off and on and her bowels were
not normal.
Just from the digestive standpoint, I felt your product
could help her. But if it could help her brain function
better that was even more reason to try it.
I talked to my daughter and she was excited, but they are
a military family with winter fuel to buy and the holidays
approaching so I ordered extra Super Shield for her. She
began giving Erin 1/2 a capsule in her breakfast bowl every
day. She was afraid of overdosing her, so I settled for
the 1/2 capsule.
Three days after she gave her the first dose, Erin took a
toy off the shelf and actually played with it for about 10
minutes! My daughter was astonished.
She took down 3 different toys and placed them in a big
semi-circle near where Erin was on her knees. Then she
walked back in the kitchen and watched from around the
corner. One by one Erin crawled to each toy and attempted
to play with it!!! My daughter called me at work in tears
of joy.
She also reported that Erin had had two very smelly,
disgusting BMs and I told her that was just her body
ridding itself of the toxins that had built up.
Erin was also eating much better in just the few days on
Super Shield - in the past she would refuse to eat or stop
eating very quickly after starting. We had a feeling it
was because her stomach was uncomfortable, but we couldn't
prove it. Now she was eating up a storm and smiling and
laughing a lot more.
In about a month we suddenly realized that Erin was
quickly growing out of everything - even her shoes! Since
then, over the past few months, she has gotten more vocal
and is now speaking words we can understand.
She pulls herself up on her feet every time she gets a
chance and she's teaching herself to climb up on a chair by
putting up her good knee and using her good hand to pull
up. She plays with her sister now and makes her opinion
known. She has actually started getting into things and
misbehaving - a total 180 from her prior passive behavior.
Every day seems to bring something new, and we are more
hopeful for her long-term development than ever!
Thank you so much for your products and the testimonials!!
Had I not read that testimonial for the autistic child, we
might never have thought to give the Probiotics to Erin.

SB: Genie, wow, I had to grab tissues when I read your
story. Thank you so much for writing, and please keep in
touch and let me know how Erin is doing.
*********
Genie's story is an extraordinary example of how important
it is to have a good population of beneficial bacteria in
your body.
After all of her hospitalizations, surgeries and
medications, little Erin was likely completely overrun with
harmful bacteria that were affecting her from head to toe -
nowhere near the recommended 85% good to 15% bad bacteria
ratio.
Even though Erin has not been diagnosed with autism, the
link between her gut microflora and her challenges is
comparable.
Here's why:
According to Mark Brudnak, PhD, author of "The Probiotic
Solution," a child may have a reaction to a vaccine,
surgery or an infection that disrupts how certain genes in
their body switch on or off. This can cause malfunctioning
in the child's immune and digestive systems.
When this occurs, proteins are no longer properly broken
down in the GI tract. Also, the good bacteria and healthy
cells in the intestinal walls die off, the bad bacteria
(like Clostridium tetani) flourish, and the gut lining
becomes like a sieve (called leaky gut syndrome).
When the gut wall is leaky, incompletely digested proteins
like casein (the protein in dairy products) and gluten (the
protein in wheat) seep out into the bloodstream.
Then these proteins can travel to the brain and cause it
to trigger opiate-like effects (like being on morphine).
This is a common symptom of children with autism, but also
is similar to Erin's situation--Genie described her
behavior as "passive."
Since probiotics are very effective in helping to
alleviate leaky gut syndrome and achieving a healthy flora
balance, this can help "switch off" the drugged-like
effects from the undigested proteins.
And voila'--you have dramatic changes like Erin's
occurring before your very eyes.
If having healthy gut flora made such a difference in
Erin's young life, imagine what it can do for YOU.
PS: Don't forget about Genie's success--she's now free of
acid reflux because she has the best of both worlds--she
takes Super Shield AND follows the advice in the Great
Taste No Pain manuals. If you've got a digestive problem,
you can quickly learn how to make a few simple
modifications to your diet that can make a 100% difference
in how you feel. Learn more about Great Taste No Pain here
