Earlier this week, we released results from our annual survey of Arizona voters. The survey, conducted in November, asked 800 likely 2026 general election voters about their thoughts on a variety of policies affecting everyday Arizonans, ranging from public schools and early childhood to inflation and tariffs. Here are the results that stood out most to our team. The poll found support from 66% of Arizonans for investing at least $3.4 million in 9th Grade On-Track. Of that, more than half (39%) support increasing funding to $15 million to expand the program to every high school. This support was bipartisan in nature with 50% of Republicans and 84% of Democrats supporting at least $3.4 million. Here’s a recap of the survey results: 9th Grade On-Track: 66% support investing at least $3.4 million in 9th Grade On-Track. 39% support increasing funding to $15 million, enough to fund the program at every high school. Support for continuing or increasing 9th Grade On-Track funding enjoyed bipartisan support with 50% of Republicans supporting at least $3.4 million. Early Childhood: 56% support renewing a $350 state Child Tax Credit, including 45% of Republicans. 61% support investing at least $45 million in affordable childcare. 35% support investing $136 million. 76% support closing the vape tax loophole to fund affordable childcare and 9th Grade On-Track programs. 64% of Republicans support this. Criminal Justice: 62% support eliminating juvenile life without parole sentences. 49% of Republicans support eliminating juvenile life without parole sentences. Arizona’s Public Schools: 75% think Arizona’s public schools need more funding including 59% of Republicans. 15% listed a lack of adequate funding as the top issue facing schools. The Legislature: 61% of voters think Arizona is on the wrong track, a 4-point increase from a year prior. 37% of voters would give the legislature an “F” for their handling of public schools, up from 36% a year ago. The Economy: 19% of voters listed inflation as the most important issue facing Arizonans, 12% of voters listed inflation as the second most pressing issue. 59% of voters said they have seen prices rise due to tariffs.

David Brownstein, M.D.believes holistic medicine will be THE medicine of the 21st century. He is a board-certified family physician and one of the foremost holistic practitioners in America. He teaches other physicians and the public about his success using natural treatments and nutritional therapies. He has had great success in resolving numerous medical disorders, including arthritis, thyroid disease, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, diabetes, and many others. Dr. Brownstein is the author of 14 health books, and editor of the popular monthly newsletter Natural Way to Health.That’s why I’m writing today.To tell you about a research-proven natural health strategy that offers seniors new hope . . .With support for better immune function, a more stable mood, improved digestion, and overall well-being.And it’s all connected to an area of your body you might not expect has anything to do with your immune system.But before we get into this natural solution, it’s important to know how growing older contributes to immune function decline:
First, with increasing age, you have fewer immune T cells. These cells are necessary to recognize and respond to health threats.
Deep within the walls of your gut lies a network of 100 million nerve cells — more than you have in either your spinal cord or peripheral nervous system.Scientists call this second brain in your digestive system the enteric nervous system or ENS.While it can’t balance your checkbook or help you solve a crossword puzzle, your gut’s second brain is extremely powerful.And these powers extend far beyond merely processing the food you eat.Here’s why . . .Scientists have discovered that around 70% to 80% of your immune system is actually located inside your gut.This immune system in your digestive tract is designed to “fence off” potential threats from gaining entrance to the rest of your body through your circulation.And the enteric nervous system inside your gut helps to regulate many of your vital immune functions.So as you can imagine, supporting your gut’s immune system is vital to maintaining health as you age.Providing this support means taking care of the defenders that live there.The “Soldiers” in Your GutYour gut is home to about 100 trillion bacteria. So many of them, they weigh 2 or 3 pounds!And because so many living organisms make a home there, many scientists now consider your gut to be an organ of sorts. They call it the microbial organ — or microbiome.
You’ve probably heard about the beneficial bacteria in your gut — your defending “soldiers.”For you to remain optimally healthy, about 85% of the bacteria in your gut should be comprised of friendly bacteria, such as Lactobacillus or Bifidobacteria.The remaining 15% are different kinds of non-beneficial microbes, but their minority status helps keep them in check.Unfortunately, in many people — especially older folks — this ratio becomes skewed. The non-beneficial bacteria increase in numbers, crowding out your good soldiers.And since most of your immune system is located in your gut, this does not bode well for your aging immune function.In fact, research shows that a delicate balance of microbial species is required to maintain healthy immune function. A disturbance in this balance can result in an imbalanced inflammatory response leading to health concerns, even the frailty of old age.Threats to Your Gut BacteriaResearchers are becoming more and more aware that microbial balance in the gut becomes increasingly disturbed by the aging process itself.And not only that . . .Consider how many toxins we’re exposed to today — especially in our water and food.More than 80,000 chemicals are currently used in the U.S. today. Most of them have not been adequately tested for their effects on our health. Of course, this includes our gut health.And there’s the matter of our generally poor diets, low in fiber and high in fat and refined carbohydrates. As a nutritionally-oriented doctor, I consider this a major factor.These dietary concerns influence the type of gut microbes we have — as well as their ability to function. Because this can negatively modify immune function.Even certain medications can disrupt the proper balance of your gut microbes. Of particularly importance are medications you know as antibiotics.Antibiotics and Your Immune HealthAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC), at least 30% of antibiotic treatments prescribed in the outpatient setting are unnecessary.Unfortunately, every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed. But resistant ones are left to grow and multiply. This means that overuse of antibiotics is a major cause of the epidemic rise in drug-resistant bacteria.And this antibiotic resistance is of particular concern for older adults, who have a high rate of antibiotic use.Because antibiotics have a wide range of effects, they also kill off those “friendly” bacteria in the gut, leading to upset in the composition of the intestinal microbes.Eventually this can lead back to that undesirable imbalanced inflammatory response and immune health concerns.And if this wasn’t bad enough, what happens in your gut also affects your mood and your overall health.Your ‘Second Brain’ Influences 
Scientists are just beginning to unravel the complexities of the enteric nervous system. They’ve found that the bacteria in your gut may affect not only the gut, but the mind itself.Emerging research indicates that your gut’s nervous system may influence emotions, response to stress, pain perception, and other aspects of behavior.According to Johns Hopkins University, the enteric nervous system can trigger big emotional shifts in people coping with digestive health concerns such constipation, bloating, stomach upset, and others.That’s because irritation in the GI system sends signals to the brain that can trigger these mood changes.In fact, research suggests that serotonin dysfunction in the GI system can lead to impairments in brain function that involve mood, sleep, and behavior.This is yet another important reason to keep your gut happy and healthy.So what’s the best way to do this?Well, I don’t really recommend commercial yogurts today.They are loaded with sugar and other additives. Plus, they are often heat processed or pasteurized, which destroys some of their live bacterial cultures.That’s why I recommend supplementing your diet with probiotics to help balance the bacteria in your gut.This is especially important for older adults, as you’ve already seen.Millions of people take probiotics today, but do they really work?The answer is “yes” — with a caution you’ll see in a moment.And the science is solid . . .Multiple clinical trials have found that probiotics can enhance immune function in the elderly.A 2019 review of research in the Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism also notes that probiotics help regulate the inflammatory process.The Harvard Health website reports that probiotics can do more than support the health of your digestive tract. They can enhance mood and cognitive function — and decrease stress and anxious feelings.And a 2017 review in the journal Gut Microbes considers the use of probiotics a sound nutritional strategy for healthy aging.However . . .Despite all these great benefits of probiotics, it’s not a smart idea to go down to your drugstore, grocery store, or discount store and pick up a bottle.The Real Truth About Many Probiotic SupplementsUnfortunately, researchers warn that about half of the probiotic products available today do not contain the bacteria listed on the label.Even those that do may not have the correct mix of bacterial strains to benefit your health.And low quality products may not be manufactured in the correct way to help the bacteria survive a trip to the supermarket shelf, no less the harsh trip through your acid-laden GI tract.For this reason, using a high quality probiotic supplement is the only way to guarantee maximum health benefits.Consider Only a High Quality Probiotic SupplementTo be honest, I was very frustrated with the low quality, ineffective probiotic solutions I found on the market today.And seeing the need for more abundant probiotic bacteria in the diets of my patients — especially my older patients . . .I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop my own own advanced formula. A formula with the best mix of proven probiotic strains, based on my two decades of research and patient treatment.It’s called BACTIPRO®.Six Powerful Probiotic Strains in 
The variety of strains ensures powerful support for immune health, digestive health, and more.You’ll find strains from both the Bifidobacteriafamily and the Lactobacillus family, and here’s why:The two Bifidobacteria strains in BACTIPROprimarily work in the large intestine to help detoxify your colon and support normal elimination.And the four included Lactobacillus strains in BACTIPRO primarily work in the smallintestine to assist in digestion and absorption of foods, particularly in absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body requires.And since few people get enough fiber in their diet today . . .BACTIPRO also includes the breakthrough fiber product Fibersol-2.With 6 full grams of healthful fiber per daily serving, this helps to support intestinal regularity.Plus, it provides prebiotics that encourage the growth of even more friendly bacteria.You can think of prebiotics as “food” to nourish the probiotic microbes.Plus, in each tasty BACTIPRO wafer, you’ll find a powerful antioxidant blend of 8 fruit-based nutrients, including resveratrol and grape seed extract.Antioxidants help protect and repair your body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals. It’s particularly important for older individuals to minimize the impact of these free radicals on your body by boosting your antioxidant intake.BACTIPRO also contains a robust complex of phytonutrients from 26 different fruits and vegetables. These include carotenoids important in immune system health, and flavonoids that help optimize the body’s inflammatory response.And unlike many cheap and inferior probiotics on the market, BACTIPRO is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure the potency and stability of the product and the bacterial strains.I’m confident in the research behind the ingredients in BACTIPRO — and in the processing and packaging that goes into bringing it directly to you ready to provide you with a source of high-quality probiotic strains.In fact, I’m so confident that BACTIPRO can help support both your immune and digestive systems, I want to tell you about a special offer I arranged for you.
No worries, though, you can easily cancel at any time. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.I’ll also send you my Doctor’s Guide to Probiotics and Your Health. In this information-packed report, you’ll discover more complete details about probiotics and their many benefits.Plus, I’ll tell you how to use probiotics effectively when you’ve been prescribed antibiotics. And you’ll see some additional probiotic foods and beverages that can enhance your health.Just to recap, here are 9 benefits of BACTIPRO:Supports a Healthy Immune SystemPromotes Healthy Bowel Function and RegularityProvides Balance to Overall Digestive SystemDelivers 6 Full Grams of Healthful Fiber Per Daily ServingFights Aging-Related Reduction of Friendly Gut BacteriaMulti-Strain Formula Supports Both Small Intestine and ColonOffers Both PREbiotics and PRObiotics in One Tasty ProductProvides Health-Boosting AntioxidantsIncludes a Phytonutrient Blend of 26 Fruits and Vegetables
