According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, each year about 10 million people come down
with diarrhea during or after their trip.
How you get it
============
Usually a vacationer develops traveler's diarrhea after
eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with
bacteria, viruses or parasites of fecal origin (meaning
from feces or sewage). And if you're real thick, that's
poop.
That's where the "Don't drink the water!" warning comes
from when people are joking about your travel plans. It
can also happen from the community snacks on many bars and
night spots.
Don't think this can only happen in poor, underdeveloped
countries with inadequate sewage systems, because that's
not true. It can happen ANYWHERE.
The most common bacteria that causes traveler's diarrhea
is a type of E. coli called enterotoxigenic E. coli.
It attaches itself to your intestinal walls and releases a
toxin that causes World War III in your digestive tract---
and you soar to the bathroom with intense cramps and
explosive diarrhea.
What a way to ruin a great (and expensive) vacation...and
maybe even a pair of shorts or two. Ouch!
Plus after its wrath, it completely unbalances your
intestinal flora, leaving you with a weakened immune system
and opening you up for a variety of MORE digestive and
health problems.
Antibiotic treatment
================
The typical treatment for traveler's diarrhea is
antibiotics.
While antibiotics do can kill E. coli, they also kill off
most or all of your remaining good bacteria too.
And that FURTHER weakens your immune system, leaving you
even MORE susceptible to catching whatever bug or virus may
come your way...
The better way
==========
A much better way to handle traveler's diarrhea is to not
get it in the first place.
Here are your best strategies for preventing traveler's
diarrhea:
1) Use only bottled or purified water for drinking, ice-
making, fruit and vegetable washing and brushing your teeth.
2) Avoid raw or undercooked meat, poultry or seafood. If
you are a sushi fan, make sure you're eating it in a hotel
or well-established, quality restaurant.
3) Most importantly, take a very high-quality probiotic
supplement.
Hearty probiotic strains have proven to make a HUGE
difference in prevention of traveler's diarrhea.
When you come in contact with E. coli and other parasites
on vacation, having a daily boost of good bacteria will
make it MUCH more likely that the invader will be destroyed-
-instead of IT destroying YOUR vacation.
It was formulated to be THE most powerful multi-strain
probiotic in existence. It costs a fortune to make, but
since we offer our pharmaceutical-grade supplements at far
lower markups than standard brands, you don't pay nosebleed
prices. No. You actually get a good old fashion bargain.
Super Shield contains these three powerhouse beneficial
bacteria that have shown in research to destroy E. coli in
the gut:
Bifidobacteria Infantis
Bifidobacteria Longum
Lactobacillus Plantarum
Those and Super Shield's 10 other medical-grade strains
will help you maintain a healthy intestinal flora balance
and a healthy immune system...
...not only on vacation, but every single day of your life.
And if you're worried about Super Shield surviving a long
plane ride or car trip without refrigeration, don't give it
another thought. The feisty bacteria in Super Shield will
be just fine without refrigeration for up to 2 weeks. Just
make sure to refrigerate (not freeze) them as soon as you
can after arrival.
