As much as you would like to think otherwise, sometimes it's
not possible to avoid surgery.

And when surgery is unavoidable, big questions loom in the patient's mind:

"Am I healthy enough?"
"How long will the recovery period be?"
"Will I be in a lot of pain?"
"What if there are complications?"

All very valid concerns...but there's also one that the average person doesn't necessarily think of...arguably the most important question of all:

Do I have a strong enough immune system?

Here's why you MUST ask yourself this critical question:

Infections

ANY kind of surgery poses various risks during and after the procedure, such as complications and infection. According to the CDC, post-op infections alone affect about 500,000 people just in the US each year.

If those 500,000 people had immune systems that were strong, chances are excellent that many would not have developed those infections.

One of the nastiest infections that you can contract in a hospital is Clostridium difficile ("C. diff").

C. diff in its mildest form causes diarrhea and stomach cramping, but at its worst it can lead to life-threatening colon inflammation, dehydration, kidney failure and death.

Research has shown that C. diff rates DOUBLED in hospitals between 1996 and 2003, and it's blown past MRSA as the most dangerous hospital infection threat.

According to the CDC 28,000 people a year die of it just in the US!

So it's essential to have as strong an immune system as possible when undergoing surgery -- your health (and your life) may just depend on it.

Since 70-80% of your immune system lies in your friendly gut flora, it's absolutely crucial to make sure that yours are as healthy as possible and that any harmful bacteria are being kept "in check."

That's where probiotic supplementation can help, and quite possibly be the difference between life and death. For a supplement that's up to the task, look no farther than Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula.

Super Shield's 13 strains of potent beneficial bacteria can help beef up your immune system and help make you more capable of fighting off any post-surgical infections.
 

Medications

It's common to receive antibiotics or pain medications (and other drugs) after surgery.

While these medications certainly can be helpful and ease your discomfort, they also wreak havoc with the beneficial bacteria in your gut--destroying them and giving harmful bacteria the "upper hand."

This weakens your immune system and makes you MORE susceptible to infections and complications. This is a huge reason why the incidences of infections after surgeries is soaring now.

So this is another way Super Shield can be your pre- and post-surgical friend. It can help give your gut flora a fighting chance against the hit they take from medications.
 

Healing

Having any kind of surgical procedure is extremely traumatic to your body and the healing process can be LONG. So your immune system especially important here, too.

You see, in order to heal properly, it's vital to not only eat nutritious foods that help you heal faster, but to make sure that nutrients are being absorbed from your foods and dangerous toxic wastes and medication residues are being properly eliminated.

But for people who have weak immune systems (i.e.: harmful bacteria have grown out of control) that's a challenge. You see, harmful bacteria "eat away" at your gut wall, making it porous and allowing dangerous pathogens to easily seep out in your system.

They also hamper your digestion and can cause constipation, which means harmful toxic wastes remain in your colon. From there, they can be absorbed into your bloodstream and make you sicker--not better.

Super Shield's beneficial bacteria line your intestinal walls, making them less porous and more able to absorb the essential nutrients from your foods. In addition, they help make your digestion more efficient, which results in less constipation and more regular bowel movements.

And that means that you have fewer toxins in your system and more energy to help with healing!
 

The research backs it up

The benefits of probiotics for surgical patients have been the subject of numerous research studies.

In a University of Chicago Hospitals study, experts reported that probiotics helped prevent surgery-related complications for patients who had surgery for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. (Possible complications include pouchitis and relapse.)

In a similar study, 81 patients with liver cancer who underwent surgery were given probiotics either after, or before AND after surgery. Only 12% of the patients who received the probiotics before AND after the surgery had any type of complications, compared to 30% of patients who only took the probiotics after their surgery.
 

The bottom line is this: If you're faced with any kind of surgery, it's essential to give your body every fighting chance to recover and heal successfully.

Super Shield's potent beneficial bacteria can help give your body the boost it needs to help you heal and bounce back to health as quickly as possible after surgery and avoid the problems so many other people are facing.

And even if you're not faced with surgery...

A strong immune system and efficient digestion are THE most important factors that could help you AVOID a surgical procedure in the first place!
