Probiotics - Protection Against Infection: Using Nature's Tiny Warriors To Stem Infection and Fight Disease

I was amazed at the sheer number of randomized controlled double-blind human clinical studies (isn't that a mouthful?) on probiotics for all types of ailments, syndromes, and diseases! I also learned new things about the nature of supplementing with probiotics, which I hadn't fully realized before, such as their transient passing in the intestines, while still providing many benefits.This is a good all-around book on probiotics, with a recent publication (2012), so the information is quite up to date.Thank you Case Adams for putting this book together!However, I must say, I feel the writing style and editing were wanting. There were some obvious typos found throughout the book, and the style and flow felt inconsistent. Abbreviations were used at different times; the names of specific species and strains were used differently from one page to the next; some scientific terms were not clarified to the reader; abbreviations for immunoglobulins, interleukins; and other biochemicals were inconsistent; etc. I think a second edition could use a major cleanup, as well an overhaul to the section on clinical studies to read more for the layman. (IL-10, IL-2, IgA, TNF-alpha, goodness me! I get lost fast!)Basically, the content is great and well researched, but the writing style and editing did not match the quality of information. I was very close to giving this book a 4-star rating, but I feel that the unfounded 1-star rating by another user needs to be canceled out.

After years of trying to find out why I am always constipated - meaning a hard stool that is often difficult to eliminate - I was really hoping this book might spell out exactly which probiotic/prebiotic might do the trick for me. This book is excellent and very easy to read. It is also well researched. I have had a bit of luck with probiotics recently, but not to any great extent - still somewhat painful and never a sense of complete elimination. I plan on re-reading it to see if I am missing something or in my case, probably need to put 2+2 together! Excellent reference on probiotics!

This book is a wonder. I have learned so much in this book about beneficial microbes and our relationship with them to our immune system. This book should be read by every doctor and medical practitioner everywhere, the information here is revolutionary. I believe one day we will look at the state of western medicine and disease and it will look just like we look back on using leeches and bleeding in the past. This book brings together information I have gleaned from many sources in a clear and well documented form. Highly recommend!

In “Probiotics – Protection Against Infection” we find clear evidence for probiotics’ ability to directly engage and defeat infectious microorganisms. We find new clinical proof of probiotics’ ability to specifically boost the immune system while under attack. Here we find the scientific facts separated from the hype and the myths; and the amazing discovery that we can fight fire with fire, as long as we properly arm ourselves with the correct strategies for achieving and nurturing strong probiotic colonies.Answer - of course there is and Case Adams shows you how.

Haven't finished it, basically thorough thumbing through, in no particular order. Looks as though it will add to the body of knowledge that I've been acquiring/

This is a tremendous book for the person who has a desire to learn about our bodies immune system and how it keeps us healthy, wealthy and wise. It does require the reader to have a basic understanding of the biological processes that the human body goes through and to follow these interactions that the immune system uses.I think it is GREAT.

There is a lot of information inside the book about probiotics. It pretty much covers all points necessary in order to understand what the bacterias are all about. This was a medium read for me. There is a lot of science in the book. This book identifies that probiotics help with digestion, elimination, and... the big one... the immune system. Read the book.

The more you know and the more you use probiotics---the healthier you will live your life

I wrote to the author for advice on which if his books he would suggest for a specific subject matter I was interested in. He responded and I appreciated his advice. Its an interesting book that is well worth a read.AM

Very comprehensive and hugely informative. Good level of technical detail that was also readable enough for a layman to appreciate

Really good book, very detailed and easy to understand.

An informative and comprehensive book on probiotics. I bought the book because I wanted to know more about probiotics, which ones to take, when to take and why, it told me everything I needed to know and more and all in the one book.If you only want to read one book on probiotics then this is it!Will buy more books written by this author, in fact my next read is The Science of Leaky Gut Syndrome: Intestinal Permeability and Digestive Health.
