In 2006, Dr. Brenda Watson introduced the H.O.P.E. formula with her book "The H.O.P.E. Formula: The Ultimate Health Secret." The HOPE formula claims to help corrective digestion problems with a special combination of products.
Features
High-fiber supplements, Omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics (special microbes that improve digestive health) and enzyme tablets comprise the HOPE formula, according to Dr. Watson.
Benefits
Dr. Brenda Watson claims that her HOPE formula can cure irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn from indigestion, excessive gas and other problems resulting from poor digestion.
Formula's Function
According to Dr. Watson, the human digestive system needs a 4:1 ratio of good bacteria (probiotics) to bad. Omega 3 fatty acids are needed for good digestion, but the body cannot produce this on its own. Enzymes and fiber are simply not common enough in the average person's diet.
Warning
The HOPE has yet to receive Food and Drug Administration approval as of 2010. In addition, HOPE warns consumers that it should not replace traditional medicine.
Considerations
Before taking a natural treatment such as the HOPE formula, people should consider whether any positive health benefits are from the placebo effect. Some people simply feel better because they are taking a medicine, according to psychologist Dr. Robert Ader of University of Rochester in New York.
