CONQUERING
AN INCURABLE ILLNESS
Jordan
Rubin's Story
In 1994,
Jordan Rubin was a healthy, active 19
year-old college student, when he was
diagnosed with Crohn's colitis, a
sometimes fatal "wasting
disease" characterized by long-term
inflammation of the bowel. As in most
chronic conditions, Jordan's immune
system began to fail. He suffered from
intestinal parasites, severe Candida,
extreme anemia, food allergies,
diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain,
chronic diarrhea, poor circulation,
liver problems, chemical sensitivities,
chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia,
arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, prostate
and bladder infections, irregular
heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic
depression. Jordan's weight dropped from
180 lbs to a low of 104 lbs at a height
of 6'1". Jordan visited over 70
health professionals from more than 7
countries and tried more than 300
supplements; however, his illness did
not respond to conventional or
complimentary medical approaches. In
1996, after a two-year battle, Jordan
stopped using all supplements, ceased
visiting doctors and began an intense
study of nutrition. His diet consisted
of nothing but whole, living, enzyme and
probiotic rich foods and one nutritional
compound he later named HSO's™ or
Homeostatic Soil Organisms™. In
Jordan's case, the HSO's™ detoxified
his intestinal tract, increased his
ability to absorb nutrients from food,
and boosted his immune system. Moreover,
the HSO's™ turned really agressive
against pathological molds, yeasts,
fungi, and parasites of all types, which
permeated his gut. Within four months,
Jordan's weight returned and his body
began to heal itself. It has been six
years since his recovery, and he
exhibits no symptoms of the disease that
almost took his life. Jordan is now a
certified nutritional consultant,
certified personal fitness instructor,
and CEO and Founder of Garden of Life,
Inc. He is now dedicated to sharing with
you the health secrets that brought him
"back to life".

Homeostatic Soil Organisms for One's Primal
DefenseTM
During
1996, at the age of nineteen, Jordan
Rubin of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida had
arrived at death's door, suffering from
the most severe symptoms of Crohn's
disease. This condition is a chronic,
inflammatory, abnormality of the bowel
showing overlapping clinical,
epidemiologic, and pathologic findings.
But medical science has determined no
definite cause for the condition. It
produces numerous, serious discomforts
by exhibiting four common and
characteristic disease patterns: (a)
inflammation with pain and tenderness in
the right lower part of the abdomen; (b)
recurring acute intestinal obstructions
that bring on deeply painful spasms of
the intestinal wall, swelling of the
abdomen, persistent diarrhea, and
vomiting; (c) inflammation and chronic
partial intestinal obstruction causing
subtle but serious malnutrition and
chronic debility; (d) abnormal channels
(fistulas) with many pus-filled pockets
of infection (abscesses) that produce
fever, painful masses in the abdomen,
and severe weight loss. Jordan Rubin
showed all four of these disease
patterns.1
For more than two years the young man
experienced between twelve and 30
usually bloody bowel movements per day.
They came on all night too, allowing him
to sleep no more than one hour at any
given time.
Laboratory tests showed that Jordan had
no iron in his blood, and his serum
measurement for albumin indicated muscle
wasting (cachexia). By laboratory
standards, this patient's blood was like
that of a dead man. His body was
affected by candidiasis, amoebiasis,
cryptosporidiosis, extreme intestinal
dysbiosis, acute electrolyte imbalance,
elevated C-reactive protein, anemia,
chronic fatigue, arthritis, diabetes,
hair loss, and leukocytosis. The chance
for recovery by conventional treatment
methods remained discouraging, because
Jordan also exhibited malabsorption
syndrome for food nutrients. He could
not assimilate the nutrients in food
even if he had any appetite, which had
been lacking for him for over a year.
Jordan had dropped so much weight, from
180 to 104 pounds, he looked like a
survivor of a Nazi death camp.
Jordan Rubin's quality of life was
nonexistent. To find some viable
therapy, he consulted over 70 health
practitioners worldwide and tried more
than 200 different nutritional products,
including several probiotic
preparations. As he explained to me,
"During the two years of my
illness, despite my ongoing search for
treatment, I was never granted even one
day of reprieve from the symptoms of
Crohn's disease. The excessive amounts
of emotional, physical, and mental
distress caused me to want to die. All I
could do was pray to a compassionate God
that the cure for Crohn's disease would
someday be found.
"And then," he added with a
smile, "it happened!"
The Cure for Crohn's Disease Comes to
Jordan Rubin
Most people are unaware of the
groundbreaking findings of Nobel
laureate Elie Metchnikoff, PhD, the
Russian bacteriologist who more than 91
years ago documented a direct link
between human longevity and the
necessity of maintaining a healthy
balance between those beneficial and
pathological microorganisms residing
within the human gut. Dr. Metchnikoff's
1908 Nobel prize in physiology had been
awarded for his discovery of phagocytes
and other immune system components, but
his accurate description of vital
elements in the body's intestinal flora
is equally important.2
Dr. Metchnikoff came to believe that
human beings could live to the age of
150 years if they kept the organisms
within their intestines in a state of
homeostatic balance. This, he said,
could be accomplished by consuming live,
fermented foods. Such a concept
expressed way back in 1909 by this great
scientist forms the foundation for the
cure of Crohn's disease that came to
Jordan Rubin.
Jordan was able to regain his health by
supplementing the small amount that he
could eat with homeostatic soil
organisms (HSOsTM) which
reversed the degenerative process of his
Crohn's disease. The HSOsTM
detoxified Jordan's intestinal tract,
increased his ability to absorb
nutrients from food, and boosted his
immune system, especially in its ability
to phagocytize viruses and bacteria.
Moreover, the HSOsTM turned
really aggressive against pathological
molds, yeasts, fungi, and parasites of
all types which permeated his gut. They
stimulate the formation of lactoferrin
(the iron-binding protein found in
neutrophils which exerts antimicrobial
activity by withholding iron from any
harmful microorganisms that the patient
ingests).
Homeostatic soil organisms are super
probiotics (the opposite of
antibiotics). They restore balance to an
autointoxicated gastrointestinal tract
in a specific manner.
