The Gut Health Protocol

What is SIBO and What Can Be Done About It?

Posted on

Of course “The Gut Health Protocol” covers SIBO in-depth.  But sometimes people just want to know “what is SIBO”. So you can now download the first 4 pages of Chapter 5, “Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth”. This covers the basics and gives you a feel for the book. The remainder of Chapter 5 provides more depth, many more studies, treatment options, and explains the various medical tests for SIBO.

  2. My concern, when checking the references, is 1) Not seeing the name of the current & continuing foremost US researcher in any of the references …
    and
    2.) There is more current research, with new treatments, that are extremely effective, reducing symptoms quickly WHILE healing underlying problem.

    Additionally, there is a fairly current CONSUMER REPORTS out (summer 2016) that has a few page article on supplements. While I truly believe in the natural way if at all possible, any “supplements” for me, would have to come from an extremely knowledgable herbalist, having put in years of study, or after growing organic herb myself under dosage supervision of a professional with experience commensurate with knowledge of same. It’s a shame that in the US they try to synthesize products with substitutes for God made & provided natural materials-organically grown, that even those that are man-created are SUPPOSED to be equal, our bodies spend majority of time trying to figure out what it is, then what to do with it; while God grown organic compounds (not using even synthesized encapsulations), our bodies have no task other than absorption, which they immediately know what it is.
    If you’d like references, please message me.

    Also, there is a very interesting study out of Holland (I believe is correct country-having just been released from hospital due to emergency life-saving surgery-unrelated reasons) June, 2016.

100% money back guaranteePhage Complete comes with a full 30 day money back guarantee, for U.S. purchases this includes the original shipping charges to you!

If you are not happy with your purchase, for any reason, simply return the bottle for a full refund. One bottle refund per customer / household.

Here is how to get your refund:

  • Though probiotics and prebiotics can often take several weeks to show benefits, this 30 day window allows you time to determine if it is suitable for your individual health condition. Though Phage Complete has been formulated with the most common gut sensitivities in mind (e.g. d-lactate, histamine intolerance, no FODMAP diets, no sugar alcohols, etc.) a few people may still be sensitive. Please do not confuse a sensitivity for die-off symptoms, die-off is a good thing, see below.
  • You may experience some die-off symptoms when you first take Phage Complete, or anything that is actually killing unwanted gram-negative bacteria. This is a good thing! However, you may feel like you have a mild case of the flu. This normally only lasts a week or two, so I recommend you wait until week 3 or 4 before deciding to return it. Please see the FAQs on the product's website for more information.
  • Your 30 day return window starts on the day the post office says they delivered the order to you, and ends on the day your return is postmarked. So truly a full 30 days!
  • Please include with the bottles the name used when placing the order, email address, and a copy of your PayPal receipt (or PayPal order number) so I can find your order. Limit one bottle, and one refund per person and household.
  • Though not required, I would appreciate a short note as to why you are requesting a refund (you can just write something on the back of the receipt if you want). This helps me make improvements to the product and documentation.

International Shipping

Nobody likes spending a lot of money on shipping so we’ve spent a lot of time trying to find inexpensive and reliable shipping options for our international customers. I think we've come up with some great options for you! DHL Express is by far the fastest shipping method but their rates are also much more expensive. If you’re not in a huge hurry the alternatives provided during checkout still utilize air shipping from the US to your country, but utilize your postal service for delivery to your local address. The order page will only list shippers that are available for your location. There is no longer a minimum order.

Due to COVID, shipments may be delayed due to the impacts on international flights and ground transportation. The shipping times listed are pre-COVID. All orders are shipped within 2 business delays unless a notice is shown on the shipping page.  If you are concerned about temperatures with longer shipping times see this FAQ for more information.

Because of Austria and German import rules we are no longer accepting orders with a shipping address to these countries. Phage Complete is an all natural product, it is not a medicine. But because it works so well these countries view it as competition to their medical establishment. If you really want to order to these countries you may want to consider a "reshipping" company.  As of March 2022 we no longer ship to Russia or Belarus.

DHL Express - 2-3 business day shipping:

DHL Express is by far the fastest, and often the easiest in regards to customs clearance, but their shipping rates are also much more expensive. Some countries do not have DHL available, if you don't see rates for DHL Express this is why.

Other Shipping Methods

If you're not a huge hurry the alternatives listed here are fine. These all utilize air shipping from the US to your country, but utilize the postal service for delivery within your country.

All Shipping Methods

Shipping times are estimates based on past shipments to your country. Anything that affects international travel, or ground postal shipments in your country, may cause delays in shipment delivery. The estimated shipping times may also be affected by COVID issues (such as fewer flights).

Insurance

Insurance is now available through Route, this is premium insurance with a simplified claims process. We make no money from this insurance (we're offering it at cost). If you have issues with your local postal service, or theft from your mailbox or porch, this insurance is recommended. This is adding to your cart automatically but you can remove it at checkout if you don't want insurance (and will accept the risk for loss or damage).

Customs & Duties

Customs' clearance is normally fairly quick, especially with DHL, but every now and then they decide to randomly check orders. This can slow things down, sometimes considerably in some countries; this process varies a lot from country to country and day to day. You will need to know the customs and duty rules / costs in your country before ordering. In some countries there are no customs (or other) fees, but in most countries you can pay 10-30% of the order. You're advised to contact your local tax agent or customs office to get an estimate of what these fees / rules might be. Once an order is processed by us it can not be canceled. We're sorry, but no refunds will be issued for orders refused, confiscated, or duties assessed by customs.
