LB17 Live Probiotics

In 1995 I was diagnosed as H.I.V. positive. Immediately, I was put on an antibiotic that I took everyday. Since being H.I.V. positive and on the antibiotic, I noticed that I was having stomach discomfort (vomitting, gas acid, etc.). Usually it would pass when I vomitted. I thought this nausea in the mornings was caused by me eating a lot more and taking all sorts of different vitamins to keep my immune system strong. In 1999, I was put on AIDS medication. There were 7 pills taken every morning and evening. Now I was taking AIDS medication and antibiotics as well. Now I noticed that I was vomitting a lot more and after vomitting I could nt stop belching. The gas would last all day. I would take all kinds of antacids from the drug store.

None of the pharmaceutical drugs worked. Some of them actually made me more ill. I was losing a lot of weight and had reached an all time low in my health. I decided to stop taking the AIDS medication and the antibiotics because I knew that it was the antibiotics that made me ill. Even weeks after I stopped taking the medication I still had the gas and after I ate the belching wouldn't stop. I usually end up vomitting.

I came upon LB17 live probiotic and decided to try it since all else had failed me. I was told that in 10 days the gas should stop. So I took them as directed and I noticed that they were gentle on my stomach. I didn't have to vomit the next day but I still had some gas. This went on for 5 days before I noticed a marked improvement in my health. I would now wake up with no gas and my stomach felth healthy and in 2 weeks I was starting to eat those gas-causing foods such as broccoli, peas and potatoes that I wouldn't have eaten in the past because they would make me bloat.

I now have more energy, I sleep better and I am able to think more clearly becauseI am getting the nutrients my body needs from the foods I am eating and I weigh more. I now have a quality of life that I didn't have before.

Osumex note:
John continued using the Osumex products and in July 2004 started to use the Flax Hulls and from October 2004 started to use the Maitake Mushrooms.
An update from John follows below.

I had my doctor's check-up and lab results came back and it is just amazing! My "viral load" (viral infection) was not detectable and my T-cells (white cells) count had increased from around 135 to more than 165!! I feel really good and never healthier and had not even had a cold last winter whereas my doctor thought I would not last the winter of 2002 due to potential viral infections, etc!

I am very pleased and will continue to use the Osumex products to help me to continue to recover my health, especially the LB17 and Maitake mushrooms.

Another update from John follows below.

Again my blood test results were good. My viral load is still undetectable and my T-cells count is still 165.

I must add that after taking LB17 live probiotic for over one year now, I noticed that the thrush (Candida albican) which was always present under my tongue was gone. Candida is common to those who are HIV+.

I also noticed that the mucous that I constantly had in my lungs is clearing up. My lungs feel cleaner and I felt my breathing is better.
