Polyflora (ABO Probiotic Formula)
120 VeggieCaps per bottle.
Suggested retail price: $36.95
Polyflora ABO was especially designed to deliver therapeutic
levels of blood type friendly bacteria (probiotics) and growth
media (prebiotics) specific for each ABO type.
Product History
This product was introduced by NAP in 2001 after first being
specifically designed for use in The DAdamo Clinic.
Description/ Background
The term Probiotic means in favor of life. It was coined in lectin-like hemagglutinin activity directed against particular ABO
1910, by the Russian physician Metchnikoff, who promoted a
theory of longevity, which associated prolonged life and improved
health with decreased gastrointestinal toxicity. He suggested that
aging is a process mediated by chronic exposure to putrefactive
intoxication caused by imbalances in intestinal bacteria and that
this process could be halted by the routine ingestion of lactic acid
bacteria and their fermented (cultured) food products. Almost
90 years have passed since he introduced these radical ideas;
however, in many respects his ideas have been proven to be true.
Consumption of lactic acid bacteria, or food cultured or fermented
with these friendly microorganisms does extend life in animal
experiments and does dramatically reduce a wide range of intestinal
metabolites, such as indoles, polyamines, cresols, nitrates/nitrites,
and carcinogens which we now know are counterproductive to
good health.
Even using strains of friendly bacteria that have a great ability
to survive digestion and colonize your digestive tract, there is a
tendency for a gradual decline in the quantity of these bacteria
over time. This decline is substantially worsened with stress, poor
dietary choices, antibiotics and other drugs. In todays world,
with all of its modern pressures, the ability to maintain an optimal
intestinal microbial balance is almost always taxed. It has also
actually been estimated that we consume 1 million times LESS
healthy bacteria in our diet today than are ancient ancestors
consumed.
Actions and Indications
Blood type antigens are actually prominent in the digestive tract
and, in about 80% of individuals (secretors), are also prominent in
the mucus that lines the digestive tract. Because of this, many of
the bacteria in the digestive tract actually use ABO antigens as a
preferred food supply.
In fact, blood group specificity is common among intestinal
bacteria with almost 1/2 of strains tested showing some blood type
A, B, or O specificity. To give you an idea of the magnitude of the
blood type influence on intestinal microflora, it has been estimated
that someone with blood type B will have up to 50,000X more
of some strains of friendly bacteria than either blood type A or O
individuals.
Second, some strains of beneficial bacteria actually can have
blood types.
Immunomodulation
The prevention of adherence of unwanted microorganisms
The production of a wide array of antibacterial and antifungal
compounds
Improved resistance against bacteria like E.coli, Salmonella,
and H. pylori
Promoting improved anti-viral immune system function
Increasing natural killer (NK) cell activity
Increasing secretory IgA (S-IgA) antibodies
Producing nitric oxide
Modulating cell mediated immune response
Activating the reticuloendothelial system
Promoting a more balanced production of cytokines
Promoting resistance against some autoimmune processes
Evoking anti-Tn antibodies
Decreasing IgE-mediated responses
Enhancing immune system response to administered vaccines
Mediating against radiation-induced depression in white
blood cells
In many respects, friendly bacteria can be thought of as having
adaptogenic effects on the immune system. They appear
to modulate the nonspecific immune response differently in
healthy and hypersensitive subjects. This is seen as an immuno-
stimulatory effect in healthy subjects, and as a down-regulation of
immunoinflammatory responses in hypersensitive subjects.
