#3: Crucial Lactoferrin
Supplementation to the Human Body
Dr.
Rothschild has discovered that one of the most amazing aspects
of the SBO's used in EarthFlora is their ability to produce
lactoferrin in the human body as a byproduct of their metabolism.
Lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein, is a vital element
to the human body in that it is specifically utilized to
retrieve iron from the foods we ingest, and then deliver
the iron wherever it is needed by the body. Because the
affinity of lactoferrin for iron is very high, it is able
to retain and transport iron even through the harsh gastric
environment, so it can be delivered to the small intestine
where it is absorbed by specific receptors on the epithelial
cells.
Unfortunately,
lactoferrin levels are often not high enough in the human
body for a variety of reasons. As a consequence, many people
have trouble properly assimilating the iron they've ingested
through the foods they eat. And because their body is not
assimilating iron properly, symptoms of iron deficiency
appear, even though plenty of iron is being ingested
on a daily basis.

This
problem is further compounded today, because Americans are literally
inundated with advertisements from vitamin manufacturers telling
them they need to take iron supplements. What's more, many doctors
tell patients they are suffering from "iron poor blood"
and need to ingest supplemental iron tablets. In reality, what
most Americans need to do is increase their bodily levels of lactoferrin,
so that the iron from the foods they eat --- which is more
than adequate for the human system --- is more thoroughly
assimilated.
In fact,
as Dr. Peter Rothschild points out in his recently published research
report on the Biology of Lactoferrin, "Of the 750 million people
on this planet who suffer from iron deficiency symptoms, less than half
of them suffer from any actual lack of iron in their diet." Instead,
he explains, their iron deficiency symptoms are due chiefly to metabolic
problems (such as those caused by insufficient levels of lactoferrin)
that hinder the assimilation of iron from the food they eat, or because
of low bio-accessibility of the ingested iron.
Of course,
this creates a serious problem when individuals suffering from alleged
"iron deficiency" begin taking iron supplements. What happens
is that the additional iron being ingested does absolutely nothing to
alleviate the iron deficiency symptoms, because it, too, remains unassimilated
by the body. As a result, the body becomes inundated with iron that
it simply cannot assimilate and utilize.
Worse yet,
that excess iron soon begins to support the growth of infectious agents
throughout the human body, due to the fact that harmful bacteria, yeasts,
viruses and other parasites have a continuous metabolic need for iron,
and tend to thrive in an iron-rich environment!
On the
other hand, when iron is carried through the body by lactoferrin, as
it is meant to be, greater than 95% of it is assimilable. The lactoferrin
carries the iron directly to the specific receptor sites in the body
where iron is meant to be absorbed and utilized. And because it is attached
to lactoferrin, the iron cannot be absorbed and utilized by the bacteria,
viruses, yeasts and other harmful parasites that require it for their
metabolism. These harmful organisms are simply unable to capture and
utilize iron in the presence of lactoferrin!
What all
of this means, according to Dr. Rothschild, is that "one of lactoferrin's
primary functions in the human body is to act as a first line of defense
against all invading pathogens."
In short,
lactoferrin not only makes the iron we absorb from food readily assimilable
by the human body (thereby eliminating iron-deficiency symptoms), it
also deprives infectious organisms of this crucial element needed for
their survival and growth. In a sense, it starves to death harmful
organisms in the human body by depriving them of iron, thus short-circuiting
their metabolic functions!
As mentioned
earlier, Dr. Rothschild's research has shown that the SBO's in EarthFlora
produce lactoferrin in the human body as a result of their own metabolism.
So by taking EarthFlora regularly, your body will be far better able
to absorb, assimilate and utilize the iron supplied by the food you
eat. Iron supplements should become completely unnecessary, once your
body begins taking advantage of the increased levels of lactoferrin
supplied by the EarthFlora.
More importantly,
the lactoferrin produced by the SBO's in EarthFlora will capture and
bind the iron in your body so that harmful bacteria, viruses, yeast
and other invaders cannot utilize it in their own metabolism. As a direct
result, these pathogenic organisms can be stopped dead in their tracks
before having a chance to cause infection in your body.
