Who We Are
About The Probiotic Guide
Natural Answers to many Health Needs
Hi, my name is Jim Scabilloni. I designed this website with you in mind. The goal is to help people like you who want to get better health and better lives.
I am a microbiologist at heart but have worked in other fields such as medical and occupational research as well as physiological research. But microbiology is my true passion.
My education was dominated by courses in the field. As an undergraduate, I earned a B.S. in Medical Technology from the University of Pittsburgh and was hired at the number one clinical microbiology lab in the city. While working in the clinical lab, I earned a Master’s in Microbiology from Duquesne University.
I have a PhD in Pathology and Physiology (all but dissertation) from West Virginia University and a Master’s in Public Health from the University of North Carolina, with an emphasis in Infectious Diseases.
I have worked in the medical and research fields for my entire career. I am an author or co-author on over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles.
Lastly, I have a wonderful, supportive wife and two amazing boys (well practically men).
Probiotics Career
I have all the education and experience in medicine and research, but I wanted to help people with ailments and general health; to help people with their health goals; and to help people prevent diseases. I LOVE to learn, and probiotics caught my eye about 10 years ago, so I began my journey studying these micro-organisms.
Probiotics are micro-organisms that live in and on our body, protecting us from various ailments and enhancing our lives. As these probiotic micro-organisms outnumber the cells in the human body, they serve an important role in our health.
As I studied probiotics, I noticed some patterns with these micro-organisms. From reading multiple journal articles, I discerned that certain Probiotics played a greater role in our different health issues. Hence that is why I was compelled to create this website. If you want a probiotic for a health issue, or overall health, this website can provide potential answers.
