One happy healthy tummy in Kentucky!
---http://www.lymeislame.com/blog/living-natural-advanced-probiotics-review
Good morning, all!
I wanted to take a quick moment this morning to write a review about a new probiotic I was lucky enough to try courtesy of Tomoson.com.
Now, I'd venture to say that many of you who are reading this are in a situation similar to mine (as far as Lyme and other chronic illnesses go), so you probably know that probiotics are a good thing to include in your daily supplement regimen. Most of our immune system is located in our gut, and when we deal with chronic illnesses--or take medications for those illnesses--our good intestinal bacteria essentially says "See ya later!" This leaves us in one of two positions:
1.) We spend our days dealing with issues caused by the abundance of bad bacteria and lack of good bacteria in our gut (abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, etc, as well as fatigue, lethargy, an overall toxic feeling, brain fog, and much more), so we take over the counter or prescription pharmaceuticals to combat the symptoms, after which we get frustrated because we don't get relief. This is prone to lead us to that cycle of trying medication after medication designed to deal with symptoms instead of addressing the root cause, and that's a dangerous slope.
OR
2.) We spend our days dealing with issues caused by the abundance of bad bacteria and lack of good bacteria in our gut (abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, etc, as well as fatigue, lethargy, an overall toxic feeling, brain fog, and much more), so we research how to naturally manage the symptoms by way of actually healing the underlying cause. Taking good quality probiotics is essential to healing your gut and restoring the good intestinal flora, which in turn will help remedy many (or all) of the issues being caused by the bacteria imbalance.
It seems to me that the choice is easy...I'll take the path that actually does the restorative healing work instead of the path that includes chemicals that not only provide no lasting relief from symptoms but also causes new symptoms to flare as a result of killing off even more good bacteria (most, if not all, pharmaceutical/chemical drugs come with this risk).
Enter Living Natural Advanced Probiotics.
I've taken assorted probiotics throughout the past couple of years, and the reason for this is mainly because I've learned that for me personally, I need to rotate my probiotics every so often so my body gets the widest range of probiotic strains it can. I was looking around for a new probiotic to add to my ever-rotating arsenal, and I came across these tablets from Living Natural. I'm happy to report that I've had excellent results taking these daily. Probiotics are one of my absolute must-haves, due not only to the reasons listed above, but also due to my daily coffee enemas, and Living Natural has put out a product that has effectively helped restore my good gut bacteria and consequently almost all of those symptoms listed above have improved.
Like I said, I've tried a lot of brands of probiotics through the past couple of years, all with different strains and different dosages (CFUs), and some have been better than others at restoring my good flora and helping alleviate symptoms associated with lack thereof. I can honestly say, though, that Living Natural Advanced Probiotics have made my top-5 list, meaning from here on out I plan on regularly including them in my rotation. I would definitely recommend giving these a try if you're looking to start on probiotics (the dosage is low enough that it won't overwhelm your system when just starting out, but is also plenty high enough for probiotic veterans to reap benefits) or if you're been taking them for a long time and are looking for a new, high-quality product to try.
One last bit of exciting news! Until January 31, I'm able to offer my readers the code: PROB0025 to apply at checkout to receive 25% off a bottle of 60 tablets, so head on over to Living Natural and check them out!
Thanks for reading, and if you end up trying these out (or if you have any questions about them), I'd love to hear from you!
God bless,
Becca

YACON SYRUP FOR YOUR WEIGHT LOSS NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!
After the holiday season, many people start a weight loss program. Have you heard about Living Natural Yacon Syrup yet? Yacon Syrup is certified as a natural fat burning sweetener, plus it's a great alternative to sugar and it can help those sugar cravings! The syrup has a third of the calories of sugar, so it's low in calories. The best part of adding Yacon Syrup to your daily regimen, is that it'll improve your metabolism and increase your energy! It's perfect for diabetics, with its super healthy prebiotics and low GI.
YACON SYRUP THE BEST NATURAL FAT BURNING SWEETENER!
For this review, I received one bottle of Living Natural Yacon Syrup! I absolutely love Yacon Syrup and I think that everybody should add it to their daily regimen. It taste so delicious, plus it's so much better for you than sugar. One thing I can definitely say, is that it really does help with those sugar cravings, due to the natural stabilization of blood sugars. I love adding it to my smoothies and teas, but you can probably add it to anything. Since it's 100% Natural, with No Artificial Flavors or Colors, that just makes it simply AWESOME! I would highly recommend the Living Natural Yacon Syrup!Yacon Syrup is extracted purely from the roots of the Yacon plant (Smallanthus Sonchifolius), which grows natively in the Andes. Then the juices from the roots are filtered, then evaporated in a chemical-free process that's similar to the way Maple Syrup is made.
Here's another awesome fact, customers have reported both loss of weight and inches all over. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted by 55 women found that on average the group taking the Yacon Syrup lost 33 pounds and 3.9 inches off their waist, while the group taking a placebo syrup gained an average of 3.5 pounds.
Yacon Syrup has many health benefits, due to the high amount of fructooligosaccharides. It's natural soluble fiber has been shown to reduce symptoms of constipation and improve metabolism. Yacon Syrup is also high in antioxidants and potassium, plus it increases the levels of friendly bacteria in the digestive system.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Living Natural Yacon Syrup Review
#LivingNaturalYaconSyrup
I am really enjoying Living Natural Yacon Syrup. It doesn't leave any bad aftertaste like some sugar substitutes do, nor is it overly sweet. As a diabetic, I try to be very conscious of what I eat. The Yacon Syrup does not affect my blood sugar with any crazy spikes, which is a plus for me! I have mostly used it in my coffee to date, but I have plans to bake and cook with it soon. I am thinking about trying out a bar-b-que sauce with it.
What would you use it in? I would love to get some ideas of what else to use it for! Leave me a comment below if you have some ideas! Thank you in advance, and let me know if you have tried Living Natural Yacon Syrup for yourself! I know I would recommend giving it a try!

Is Yacon Syrup A Healthy Sweetener?
By Kerri Knox, RN on January 6, 2015
Yacon syrup is a natural vegan sweetener derived from a root that is grown in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Yacon is a food that has long been eaten by the indigenous Andeans in the same way that potatoes are eaten; it even looks much like a sweet potato, but is more closely related to chicory and Jerusalem artichoke (sunchoke) than potatoes or sweet potatoes(1).
It truly is a natural sweetener that is processed in much the same way maple syrup is, so you can rest assured that it’s not a highly-processed chemical-laden artificial food. In fact, yacon syrup requires such a small amount of processing that some companies have the processing plant right in the indigenous communities where the harvesting occurs(1). With yacon syrup, not only are you getting a natural sweetener with significant health benefits, that I delve into more on the Benefits of Yacon page, but it can also help those living in the developing nations that grow and process this product, as well.
Yacon Syrup’s Unique Health Qualities
What makes yacon syrup so special is that it contains a high amount, up to 50% of total sugar content, that is instead of being a typical sugar, is an insoluble carbohydrate fiber called Fructooligosaccharides, or FOS. This FOS is what confers many of the Benefits of Yacon, some of which are:
- Improved blood sugar regulation
- Better digestive health
- Improved immune system
- Even improved energy and weight loss in some studies
All of which lead us to the real question of how yacon syrup tastes. Who cares how great the health benefits of an alternative sweetener are if it doesn’t taste very good?
Yacon Syrup Review
In order to do a Yacon Syrup taste test, I tried out two different syrups, both of which were generously supplied to me by the manufacturers:
- PureSimple Yacon Syrup and
- Living Natural Yacon Syrup
The two brands were indistinguishable from one another in taste and in the use of the same 8 fluid ounce bottle, and both contained 100% yacon syrup as the only ingredient. I suspect they are produced by the same manufacturer who simply labels them differently for the different distributors, so I’ll just discuss them generally and not specifically.
Yacon syrup looks a lot like molasses, but has a lighter flavor without the distinctive notes of molasses, more akin to a light caramel sauce. It has no artificial or ‘funky’ tastes other than its own unique flavor that is nothing remarkable or overpowering. I found that it complemented most everything that one would sweeten, such as coffee, tea, and even matcha green tea. I even put it on pancakes, and while I liked it, the flavor is a bit plain by itself, and maple syrups are probably a better choice. I thought that the molasses-loving Joshua Tucker from the TendontitisExpert would like it on pancakes. I was surprised to find that he didn’t like it on the pancakes, but we both liked it as a substitute for the maple syrup in this Paula Deen’s Baked Acorn Squash Recipe.
I used the yacon syrup for about a month, having at least a teaspoon and up to a Tablespoon per day, usually in coffee, tea, or other hot drinks. I found it entirely pleasant without having any problems at all. Because the FOS can feed good bacteria in the gut, some people might get gassy or bloated when they first start using yacon syrup, Its even possible that someone with severe Intestinal Candida could experience symptoms of Candida die-off (which, while being unpleasant, is actually a sign of an improving condition), however, I had no such ill effects. I also cannot claim to have experienced any of the Benefits of Yacon either, other than taste. However, I did begin a low carb diet while on yacon syrup, and I was easily in moderate ketosis within 3 days while having used one to two teaspoons of it each day. So, even those who might need or want to be on a low-carb diet might be able to incorporate small amounts of yacon syrup into their diet safely. While the research showed that this might be the case, I was happy to be able to show that I could get into ketosis while taking yacon.
Probably the only downside to the syrups that I tried was that the product seemed to settle down to a thick mass at the bottom, making it difficult or even impossible to get a significant amount of the product out. Several times, I poured warm water into the bottle and shake vigorously for a few minutes to get a syrup that was usable. I had to repeat this every few times I used it in order to be able to use the last several ounces of the product. I would recommend to the manufacturers that using a pot or wide mouthed jar, like the kind used for honey, would be a better choice for yacon, so the thick mass could be spooned out of the bottom more easily.
Other than that small complaint, I really enjoy yacon syrup, and from the research on this alternative sweetener as well as the taste, I would definitely recommend this syrup to anyone who still wants to have something sweet while avoiding sugar and the Side Effects of Aspartameand other artificial sweeteners. I was especially impressed that I could so easily get into ketosis in just three days while taking yacon. I will almost certainly continue daily usage of this superfood sweetener that has had a thousand years of being safely used as a food source(2).
At the time of this writing, the prices for the products I reviewed are as follows.
Living Natural 100% Pure Yacon Syrup
is $17.95 for an 8 ounce bottle and has a money back guarantee.

Price - $19.77 + shipping without PRIME
Living Natural Yacon Syrup is a great tasting alternative to sugar and a natural boost to weight loss.
Yacon syrup, sounds odd doesn't it? Well, it is! However, it is also wonderful. Yacon syrup is made from the Yacon root, a root similar to jiicama, only slightly more floral. It is sweet and fibrous and adds a great flavor to your foods.
Naturally low in calories it is great for weight loss as well! Substituting your sugar and using yacon syrup can cut down on the calories. It has a slightly brown sugar/molasses taste and is slightly thick in consistency.
I have used this in my coffee and it gave it a burnt brown sugar taste which i thin gave it a more deeper flavor and added a touch of sweetness. I also made the most delicious soft spice cookies with this, they came out great and i used this syrup instead of molasses and it made no difference, only in the way that i saved some calories and chose a more natural sweetener instead of chemicals. I will be using this in many more recipes as I go and I can't wait to figure out what they will be!
