Do SBX (Homeostatic Soil Based Organisms/ HSM’s) and DDS (Acidophilus Plus or Probioplus?) both provide the same kind of support?

answer: Because both of these products are known to support intestinal health and because they both contain beneficial bacteria, folks sometimes get confused about which one they should use. In fact, they have significantly different activities and they can both be used at the same time.

SBX contain soil based organisms that are beneficial to the human intestinal tract but they are not indigenous to the human body. They are used therapeutically to enhance intestinal, immune and digestive health. Although acidophilus is also highly beneficial to the intestinal tract, it IS indigenous to humans and so is produced by the human body under normal, healthy conditions. DDS Acidophilus is used supplementally in order to boost our existing intestinal populations of this bacteria. Below you’ll find a description of both SBX and DDS and how they function.


What are HSMs?
Homeostatic Soil Micro-Organisms are highly specialized soil-based organisms that possess powerful health benefits when ingested by humans. They play a vital role in the cyclical ecosystem of healthy soil. HSMs engulf the mould, fungi, and putrefactive bacteria in rotting plant matter. They then transform this waste into nutrients and growth promoting hormones, which they release into the soil to fertilize new plant growth.

The Importance of HSMs for Human Health
The purifying and nourishing effects of these bacteria in soil are duplicated in the human digestive system when HSMs are ingested. Clinical studies have shown HSMs to be capable of dramatically improving intestinal health by reducing intestinal pathogens and by dislodging hardened waste material. As HSMs metabolize undesirable microbes, they release by-products that support human health. In addition, they stimulate the production of self-healing substances and mechanisms (i.e. alpha-interferon, super oxide dismutase, lactoferrin and antibodies).

What are the Therapeutic Benefits of HSMs?
HSMs improve colon health, immunity, digestion and assimilation, and increase antioxidant levels (super oxide dismutase in particular). They temporarily colonize the intestinal walls, for as long as they are consumed.

What is Acidophilus?
Acidophilus is one of many beneficial (“friendly”)intestinal bacteria (or flora) found in the healthy human intestines. It is the most prolific and important of several key beneficial bacteria.

The Importance of Acidophilus:
Your friendly bacteria normally produce B vitamins and Vitamin K. When the beneficial bacteria and flora are flourishing in your body they Keep CANDIDA 'at bay' and in its right amounts (candida IS found in every body - healthy ones too - but in right amounts!).



What if I want to use both products? Can I take them at the same time?
The Acidophilus is an essential part of the Whole Approach product protocol. The SBX is a wonderful complement to the program. So, if it feels right for you, you may use both products together to speed your recovery.
