As an integrative practitioner, you may already know that childhood experiences, both negative and positive, can have a tremendous impact on lifelong health. Conventional medicine is finally starting to take notice of the mind-body relationship and is in the first stages of evaluating all of the potential impacts.

The term “ACES” stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. This may include exposure to abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and emotional or physical neglect. Kaiser-Permanente conducted one of the largest studies within this genre, involving nearly 17,000 participants. Through their evaluation entitled “The Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults”, which was published in the Journal of Preventative Medicine, they established a strong graded relationship between exposure to childhood trauma and the risk factors for the leading causes of death among adults. Interestingly, a participant’s cumulative ACES score (the amount of trauma they had been exposed to) directly correlated with the number of co-morbidities they expressed. These co-morbidities included increased prescription and illicit drug use, cardiovascular dysfunction, diabetes, depression, and pregnancy challenges.

While counseling and emotional support should be part of any holistic protocol, homeopathy also offers a unique option for temporarily managing symptoms related to emotional distress. DesBio’s three new homeopathic remedies can be a supportive part of an emotional health protocol.

• • Esteem is a homeopathic remedy for the temporary relief of the symptoms related to lack of self-esteem including codependency, lack of self-confidence and narcissism
  • AnXious is a homeopathic remedy for the temporary relief of the symptoms related to stress including mild anxiousness, worry, overwhelm, and mild fear)
  • PTSD/Stress Remedy is a homeopathic for the temporary relief of symptoms of stress such as previous exposure to terror or horror, fight or flight response, recurring nightmares, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, and easy irritability

Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent added to some antibacterial soaps, detergents, toothpastes, cosmetics, toys, and surgical cleaning treatments. The intent of triclosan is to reduce or prevent bacterial contamination. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent, its impact on human microbiome, and the risk of antimicrobial resistance remains controversial. There are ongoing studies that are concerned that triclosan use contributes to the disruption of the upper respiratory tract microbiome and the development of antibiotic resistance and may adversely affect human health.¹ The FDA has not received any evidence that triclosan provides a benefit to human health and no evidence that triclosan in products provides any benefit. Yet manufacturers still include triclosan in their products, risking patient’s health.

We are proud to announce that none of the DesBio’s products contain triclosan and our BioPro ENT can help stabilize any disruptions in the upper respiratory tract microbiome. BioPro ENT provides a combination of clinically-studied probiotic strains shown to support the health of the teeth, gums, ears, and sinuses. Featuring BLIS K12^TM (Streptococcus salivarius K12), this mint-flavored chewable formula is ideal for promoting a healthy mouth and upper respiratory system.

Every mucosal membrane surface on the body is colonized by a distinct group of microbes, including the mouth, nose, lungs, and the gut. These beneficial microorganisms help enhance the immune system and balance inflammatory activities associated with allergic reactions. Studies have shown disruption of the resident microbes might be associated with food intolerance. GI discomfort and symptoms related to these  conditions often vanish when the gut is properly populated with beneficial bacteria.

BioPro GI is ideal for patients suffering from long-term GI disturbances or food sensitivities. This high-dose formula provides five robust probiotic strains formulated specifically to support the causes of diarrhea, dysbiosis, obesity, joint pain, and food sensitivities. This multi-strain, high-potency, hypoallergenic, dynamic probiotic helps restore beneficial bacteria for optimal immune and digestive health and encourages daily relief from bloating and irregularity.

• High-potency, multi-strain probiotic that supports a healthy balance of bacteria through the GI tract
• Works to naturally ease the symptoms associated with food sensitivities and help stabilize gut flora
• Provides temporary relief of bloating and irregularity while also promoting weight management
• Promotes a healthy intestinal barrier from the outside world

Millions of children and adults are susceptible to dental cavities, sinus congestion, upper respiratory tract infections, and other infections of the throat and ears. The human mouth is home to billions of bacteria, and a probiotic can act as the first line of defense against the unfriendly bacteria and viruses that enter through the mouth and nose. Studies have shown that a daily dose of probiotic is essential for a healthy immune system. NEW! BioPro ENT contains S. salivarius (BLIS^®K12) is a naturally occurring bacteria that normally reside in the mouths of healthy people. This probiotic strain has been shown to balance microflora, supporting a healthy mouth, throat, ears. This mint-flavored chewable acts as a natural solution for fresh breath for both children and adults.

Tired of large capsules and fishy aftertaste when taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements? Liposomal Omega solves those problems with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) derived from algae in a superior bioavailable delivery system.

Liposomal Omega is a vegan, liquid soluble that is exceptionally low in heavy metals with a delicious creamy lemon flavor. It provides ultimate brain support and promotes overall health.

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are the major building blocks of the brain. DHA ensures the cells develop and function properly through all stages of life. It is naturally found throughout the body and is critical for optimal health of the brain, eyes, heart and as well as other parts of the nervous system. A sufficient intake of DHA is especially essential for pregnant and nursing mothers to ensure adequate brain and visual development for their children.

Liposomal delivery is the paramount transport system for delicate nutrients. Liposomes are microscopic vesicles made up of phospholipids, the same structures that make up our cell membranes. The unique structure of the liposome allows the encapsulated nutrient to bypass the digestive tract, allowing for mega-doses of nutrients even at moderate intake.¹

Studies have shown that taking proteolytic enzymes helps with everything from injuries, inflammatory responses, immune support, and autoimmune conditions.

Proteolytic enzymes are one of the most important modulators of the inflammatory response. They help to increase the functionality of natural killer cells and macrophages while simultaneously helping eliminate compounds that can interfere with normal immune function. During tissue injury, proteases help reduce blood viscosity and encourage the delivery of nutrients to the affected area. They also help to remove waste products from traumatized tissue resulting in faster recovery and reduced discomfort. In addition, proteolytic enzymes have the ability to break down circulating immune complexes or CICs. These antigenic compounds stem from food antigens and if left in circulation can cause unmediated inflammatory responses and autoimmune activity.

Desbio’s new Liposomal Transzyme is the first formula to combine the power of proteolytic enzymes with a liposomal delivery system. Help your patients promote healthier immune system function and manage inflammatory responses associated with injuries and autoimmune conditions with this ground-breaking new product!
