A-F Betafood for serious digestive problems
This is a great product for someone with digestive problems related to lack of sufficient bile production, as I have been. Forgive me, but discussion of this topic must, by its nature, be a little less than genteel. So here goes. My natural pharmacist diagnosed the root cause of my health problems as the inability of my digestive system (liver, duodenum, etc.) to release bile when needed. He explained that bile is fundamental to the digestive process. The bile mixes with the food in your stomach to create a kind of "slurry" as preparation for the food's journey through the large and small intestines. As this "slurry" travels through the intestines, it releases nutrients to the body through the walls of the intestines; it also receives toxins from the body through the intestine walls for elimination from the body. If it's not working properly, many, many health problems arise over time, as happened to me. For the supplement to be effective, my pharmacist advised me to drink lots and lots of water with it (not other liquids, just water.) This is very important. Occasionally when I've not remembered to drink enough water, the supplement lost significant effectiveness. Interestingly, with my disorder, without this supplement, it doesn't matter how much water I drink, I am still constipated for days and days on end and sometimes for a week or more. I tried everything to treat this constipation. Nothing ever "really" worked. Now, for the first time in my life, using A-F Betafood supplementation, my digestion runs like a smooth, well-oiled machine. I am much healthier now, and I feel lighter, more energetic, and have less bulk around my middle. Friends and family tell me I look better, too. I continue to eat very healthy, as I always have, with lots of vegetables, fruit, proteins, natural grains, and minimal amounts of processed foods. For me personally, this product has been a "miracle" product. Unfortunately, no medical doctor was ever able to help me with this problem, each one saying, in essence, that people all have different elimination habits and I shouldn't worry about it ... i.e., live with it. It took a natural heath practitioner to uncover the root problem and then prescribe something to make me well. A-F Betafood has truly rejuvenated my life. I am so grateful! I expect I will now have more years of vibrant good health to enjoy my 10 grandchildren!

A TRUE miracle product!
I had continuous pain in my upper right abdominal area. An ultrasound revealed small stones and thickening of my gallbladder. My doctor recommended A-F betafood. I took 10 tablets a day for two weeks and 6-7 a day after that. It's been 6 months now with absolutely no pain. I would highly reommemd this product it is a true miracle worker..... Ands it's natural!

Great for gall bladder issues!
I was introduced to A-F Betafood about 20 years ago by a chiropractor in California. A buddy of mine and I took the Amtrak from Michigan to California. During the train ride, I was experiencing major bloating after eating meals. As a regular user of chiropractic, I visited a chiropractor after 2 1/2 days on the train. I mentioned the bloating and he did some applied kinesiology to muscle test my abdomen. He stated that I had a "metabolic" gall bladder, a condition probably brought on by eating too many fats and greasy foods. He gave me the A-F Betafood and suggested I avoid hydrogenated oils, coffee, chocolate and dairy products for awhile. Within a few days, I was doing much better after eating. I have had a number of gall bladder issues since then, when I don't watch my diet and this supplement has been very helpful in treating them. I take a maintenance dosage now, so that I can occasionally eat the "junk" that I crave.

Gallstone cure
AF betafood contains dessicated beets which disolves gallstones. It will take 6 months or more but it definitely works. A cat scan showed the gallstone and now it is gone. Otherwise eat a lot of beets-ugh.

POWERFUL
Takes away any liver, gallbladder, or digestive pain for me. Just 2 or 3 can wipe out even pretty serious discomfort. Great for maintenance of overall health. Reduces histamine in the body! I honestly feel like everyone should take this - preventatively or for healing.<br /><br />I will give a caution that too much of this (say... 9 a day) if you're not used to it can cause your liver to start healing itself by dumping toxins, and that make make you irritable. Back off and go slower if that happens. It's a GREAT, POWERFUL product!

great stuff
It is great for stopping gallbladder attacks in their footsteps. Take 6 at time when an attack is coming on and it will thin the bile and stop the attack!
