Take Friends For Life, one cap 3-times per day. Please note that the small intestine depends on the large intestine for support in its functions. Likewise, the large intestine also depends on the small intestine for its needs and to fulfill its purpose. The quality of work or activity of each intestine allows the other to do a better job. There is a definite synergism between the two intestinal areas. The liver controls the stomach and pancreas and contributes significantly to digestion. The large intestine must be kept clean and functional in order for the liver to work effectively. If the small intestine is able to provide efficient digestion, absorption and preparation for stool elimination, then the large intestines has less to do and its quality of work is improved. Therefore, the liver works more effectively with less stress and is able to contribute to the functions of the stomach and pancreas allowing both intestines to maintain peak performance and accomplish their goals. Consequently, it has been discovered that equal amounts of Lactobacillus Acidophilus and B. Bifidum should be presented to the intestines on an equal basis at the same time providing a balance of culture to both small and large intestine. This creates the highest efficiency in maintaining their functions. Friends For Life has an equal amount of culture for both small and large intestine allowing for the best in digestion, absorption and regularity.   TO DETERMINE THE SEVERITY OF YOUR CONDITION, THERE IS A SELFSCORING CANIIDA QUESTIONNAIRE AT THE END OF THIS PROGRAM AND IT WILL HELP YOU TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW ENTRENCHED THE CANDIDA IS AND IN WHAT CATEGORY OF SEVERITY, SUCH AS MODERATE, SERIOUS, SEVERE OR EXTREME.
