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
