Introducing PurifySteven Horne, RH(AHG)
Old School Thought• It was commonly
taught that the colon became “encrusted” with fecal matter
• We now know this isn’t true
• The real problems involve:• Dysbiosis: an
imbalance of gut microbes
• Leaky gut: excessive intestinal permeability
• Inflammation or irritation
Invisible Damage
• When we damage the skin we can visibly see the damage
• But when we ingest things that damage our inner skin we don’t see the damage
• Our body lets us know through symptoms like discomfort, indigestion, gas, bloating, acid reflux, diarrhea or constipation

Don’t Irritate Your Guts
• Toxins in foods:• Glycophosphates and other
agricultural chemicals
• Nitrates and preservatives
• Drugs• Antibiotics
• Antacids
• NSAIDS
• Coritosteroids
• Environment Toxins• Heavy metals
• Chlorine, Bromine and Fluoride
Intestinal Biofilms
• Biofilms are created by bacteria when they colonize a surface
• Our intestinal systems are covered with a biofilm containing hundreds of species of microbes
• These biofilms act as a protective barrier against toxins and infections
• They also aid nutrient assimilation
Gut Barrier Dysfunction• “Gut barrier dysfunction is
linked to multiorgan system failure in sepsis and immune dysregulation.”
• “Intestinal Permeation and Gastrointestinal Disease” (J. Clin
Gastroent 2002;34:385)
• “…the gut epithelium acts as the gatekeeper of mucosal immunity, forming a link between the innate and the adaptive immune systems…”
• “Keeping the gut microflora at bay” (J. Science 2004;303:1624)

Harmful Influences on Gut Flora
• Childhood factors• C-Sections• Bottle feeding• Over sanitized environments
• Disruptive influences• Antibiotics• NSAIDs• Birth control pills• Chlorine • Chemotherapy• Glycophosphates• And other chemicals and drugs
Dr. Belier’s Three Lines of Immune Defense
1. Gastrointestinal Tract (mucus membranes)
2. Liver
3. Glandular system (particularly thyroid, adrenals and reproductive glands)
• The intestinal membranes are the body’s first line of immune defense
Purify
• Drink mix for cleansing and rebuilding the intestinal tract
• Bulks the stool
• Absorbs irritating substances
• Helps tone up the gut membranes
• Feeds the friendly intestinal flora
• Supports general health

Psyllium and Other Fibres
• 3100 mg of psyllium
• Plus apple fruit fibre, flax seed, acaica gum, guar gum
• Soluble fibre dissolves in liquids to form a gel
• It can’t be broken down by our digestive system, but it can be broken down by intestinal bacteria
• Some forms of soluble fibre are prebiotics, food for friendly bacteria
Benefits of Fibre• Colon Health
• Fibre improves colon transit time, relieves constipation, softens stools to prevent hemorrhoids, feeds friendly flora and reduces intestinal inflammation and leaky gut
• Blood Sugar and Weight Loss• Fibre helps regulate the absorption of sugars and fats into the bloodstream,
helping to balance blood sugar
• Cardiovascular Health• Fibre helps lower blood cholesterol, control high blood pressure and reduce
the risk of heart disease
• Cancer• Fibre reduces the risk of bowel and other forms of cancer
Fibre and Gut Flora
• The bacterial breakdown of soluble fibreproduces short-chain fatty acids and releases phytonutrients from the plant cells that reach the colon and the bloodstream
• It also produces phenolics, which include antioxidants that protect capillary blood vessels and the cardiovascular system, while fighting cancer and regulating blood sugar
• Without fibre, these bacteria would have nothing to feed on, and these essential nutrients would not be available for the body

Fibre and Weight Loss
• Fibre increases feelings of fullness, which helps prevent overeating and weight gain
• A study published in the 2010 “Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology” explains that psyllium and other soluble fibreshave a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, fatty acids and satiety, thus supporting the use of fibre as a treatment for metabolic syndrome
Fibre and Cholesterol
• Soluble fibre binds to bile salts and fatty acids in the intestines.
• This inhibits absorption of cholesterol and lowers total cholesterol and LDL levels
• It also binds toxins released from the liver via the bile and prevents them from being absorbed
Inulin
• Inulin is a prebiotic, a food for friendly intestinal microbes
• It is found in many plants traditionally considered alteratives and immune enhancers: burdock, dandelion, elecampane
• A fructan (chains of fructose similar to starch)
• 2500 milligrams of Inulin

L-Glutamine
• Non-Essential Amino Acid found in high protein foods, beans, wheat and diary products
• Bone broth is high in glutamine and is very helpful for restoring gut health
• L-glutamine helps tone intestinal membranes and reduce intestinal permeability
• Purify contains 2500 milligrams of l-glutamine
Zinc• Zinc plays a critical role in digestive health
• It is necessary for the production of HCl• It helps to tone the intestinal membranes
• Zinc deficiencies have been linked to many GI tract diseases, including:• Diarrhea• Crohn’s disease• Ulcerative colitis• Celiac• Leaky gut• Source: Zinc and gastrointestinal disease by Sonja
Skrovanek, Katherine DiGuillo, Robert Bailey, William Huntington, Ryan Urbas, Barani Mayilvagana, Giancarlo Mercogliano and James M Mulluin (World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology, Nov 15, 2014, 5(4):496-513
• It also plays a critical role in the immune system
Antioxidants• Purify contains green tea extract,
rosemary leaf, grape seed extract
• Antioxidants help protect tissues against free radical damage and help to reduce irritation to the intestinal membranes

Fruit and Vegetable Powders
• Purify also provides small amounts of fruit and vegetable powders: broccoli flowers, apple fruit extract, cabbage leaf, carrot root, red beet root and tomato fruit
• Many of these have antioxidant properties and compounds that aid liver detoxification
Chlorophyll• The “green blood” of plants
• What little research has been done suggests that it:• Can bind to certain toxins in the intestines inhibiting
absorption (specifically polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in tobacco smoke, heterocyclic amines found in cooked meat, aflatoxin-B1)
• Has a deodorizing effect to reduce stool and body odour
• May help to accelerate tissue healing

Herbal Ingredients
• Olive Leaf• Research shows the oleuropein in
olive leave inhibits the growth of harmful microbes
• Olive leaf is also antioxidant and helps to normalize blood pressure
• Turmeric• Is a powerful antioxidant and anti-
inflammatory
• It aids digestive and liver function• It also aids the immune system
Overall Benefits
• Helps to balance the friendly flora of the gastrointestinal tract
• Helps the body eliminate toxins like heavy metals
• Provides a feeling of fullness
• Helps to bulk and soften the stool for easier elimination
• Improves tone of intestinal membranes, aiding absorption of nutrients and rejection of irritating substances
• Indirectly enhances the immune system and general health
