The Probiotic Solution

About the Author

Mark A. Brudnak, Ph.D., N.D., is the author of over 40 peer-reviewed scientific and trade journal articles, written during his undergraduate study at the University of Southern California and continuing through his graduate study at the University of Tulsa. He is often quoted in the health food industry, cited in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, and sought out worldwide as a leading expert and speaker in the areas of probiotics, enzymes, and functional carbohydrates. He is the originator of the term genomeceuticals, which denotes the natural ingredients that beneficially affect gene expression. He is a member of many academic honor societies and has been the recipient of grants and scholarships throughout his career.

A board-certified naturopath, Brudnak has been involved with the natural products industry for over 15 years. He has worked with numerous companies and universities to develop novel products, many of which are available in local health food stores. He is the founder of Healthy Living Naturally, LLC, a natural health-consulting company that is also dedicated to the life extension of senior citizens through practicing the martial arts, such as TaeKwon-Do (TKD) and T'ai Chi Ch'uan. He has published a peer-reviewed journal article based on one of his studies on this topic. In addition to being on the faculty of the Association of Academies of Martial Arts (Grafton, WI), he has his own martial arts studio, Chosun TaeKwon-Do.

Brudnak has numerous personal interests. He is a poet as well as an accomplished pilot. He frequently offers free rides to disadvantaged youths, who would not ordinarily have the chance for such an outing. He also volunteers at a hospice, church, and senior citizens centers, and he donates time, energy, and money to finding cures for diseases such as autism and Down syndrome.

When asked why he wrote this book, Brudnak answered: "There is a need to bring the science of probiotics to the people, so that they can better their lives. Life is about balance, and I believe this book will help people balance themselves from the inside out. If one is not balanced on the inside, then it is impossible to be balanced on the outside. The Probiotic Solution shows both the importance of a balanced intestinal tract and how to balance the probiotics in it."

When asked about how to live life, he replied: " With courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. God, however you view Him, gives all of these gifts to us, if we look and believe."

"The Probiotic Solution is an excellent guide for readers who want to expand their knowledge of probiotics and the new findings emerging from current research."
—Dallas Clouatre, Ph.D., author of The Prostate Miracle and Anti-Fat Nutrients

"As powerful tools in the prevention and treatment of certain conditions, probiotics will play an increasingly important role in human health. The Probiotic Solution highlights one of the most beneficial, science-based nutraceuticals around in a concise, consumer-friendly way. Here's to the "good guys"!"
—Rebecca Madley, Editor, Nutraceuticals World

"The Probiotic Solution offers new and exciting perspectives on probiotics and their potential for improving health. Dr. Brudnak shows an insight into the root causes of many maladies that have largely been ignored by the medical community. The Probiotic Solution explores the symbiotic relationship these friendly bacteria provide in disease prevention and health maintenance."

How to Enroll Probiotics as Your Key Ally in The Campaign
For High Energy, Vigor and Vitality

Many have claimed: "Disease begins in the colon." In The Probiotic Solution, Dr. Mark Brudnak states a greater truth: "Disease begins from an imbalance in the body." Good health is a dance on the tightrope of balance. Lose your balance for long enough—and you plunge toward crisis—if not death. Find and maintain balance—and you can enjoy the fruits of a happy, healthy life. It's the law of nature.

Whatever causes imbalance, causes ill health—be it cancer, heart disease, autism, diabetes or obesity. We are under constant attack from a host of toxins and "bad guys" -bacteria and viruses threatening to overrun and overwhelm us, drag us down. Make the wrong diet choices, refuse to protect yourself—and suffer the consequences.

The Probiotic Solution shows you how to fight back. Just as firefighters use fire to fight fire, you can use good bacteria to fight bad. Those good bacteria are known as probiotics and exist naturally in the human body. Probiotics are your friend and your weapon, your key to good health and your counter-balance against the destructive forces undermining your health.

While popular fermented products like yogurt do contain probiotics, they are not enough to protect us from the levels of toxins we now endure. It would be like pitting peashooters against tanks. Fortunately, powerful "designer" probiotics have now been created, which give you greater, more powerful protection against specific diseases—while enhancing your energy and well being.

But, in this brave new science of probiotics, how do we choose safely, how do we know what to use and when? The Probiotic Solution gives you the keys to the probiotic kingdom—showing you how best to take advantage of "nature's best-kept secret for radiant health" —and continue to thrive whatever the challenges you face.
