Most of us are unaware that our health is directly
connected to billions of beneficial microorganisms that
live in our gastrointestinal tract. These microorganisms
help our body break down and absorb food, produce essential
nutrients, and help to clean putrefaction and waste. The
microorganisms also kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi
and yeast. These microorganisms are beneficial bacteria
i.e. flora that make up over two pounds of our body weight.
We need to maintain an adequate amount of beneficial
bacteria i.e. flora to counteract harmful bacteria's
potential harm to our health.
So why has it become necessary and essential for us to add
natural probiotic supplements to our diet? Our current
food production in our country has become that of highly
processed foods that are full of chemicals, simple sugars,
and carbohydrates. This means that we are eating foods that
are essentially without anything living. A very large
portion of our agricultural production has used a great
amount of pesticides and fertilizers that have almost
depleted living soil-based microorganisms that are
essential for our health. It has become standard practice
to use antibiotics for any ailment that we may be
experiencing. Anti means against biotics. In other words,
antibiotics kill all the bacteria in our intestinal tract
whether it's beneficial bacteria or harmful bacteria..
Farm animals are given antibiotics in their feed and we in
turn ingest the antibiotics when we eat meat. The chlorine
in our water kills our intestinal flora. Alcoholic
beverages kill the flora we need and leaves an environment
for the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Overuse of intestinal cleaners and colonics for detoxing
our intestines removes much of our beneficial flora. The
use of radiation and chemotherapy also kills our beneficial
intestinal flora.
Our modern food processing, diet, and other practices can
leave our digestive system without the essential flora it
needs to keep us healthy. As a result, many of us
experience acid reflux, depleted immune systems,
constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, candida, food
allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome and perhaps a cancerous
condition.
When we use probiotic supplements, the supplements are
designed to withstand the acidic condition of our stomach
which can kill beneficial bacteria. A probiotic must be
resistant to gastric, bile and pancreatic juices in order
to reach our colon alive. The probiotics then attach to
the wall of our intestine and increase the number of
beneficial bacteria and lowers the amount of harmful
bacteria.
Probiotics break down hydrocarbons i.e. divides the food we
eat into it's most basic components so it can be absorbed
by our digestive system therefore increasing the amount of
nutrition we need for energy and cellular production and
repair. In addition, probiotics get beneath the layer of
sludge and accumulation of waste on our intestine walls
attach themselves and loosens the waste and decay so that
it can be eliminated. The sludge and decay often keep
toxin e.g. heavy metals in our bodies. When the waste
remains on our intestinal wall it can lead to either
constipation or diarrhea. Probiotics relieve constipation
or diarrhea giving us a healthy regular elimination of
waste. Therefore, probiotics clean our intestinal system
removing toxins so eliminating the need for use of
colonics and heavy intestinal cleansers.
Probiotics produce important enzymes and increase the
availability of vitamins and nutrients, especially B
vitamins and vitamin K, lactase, essential fatty acids and
calcium. The beneficial bacteria contained and supported
by probiotic supplements strengthen our immune system
therefore increasing our resistence to viruses, allergies,
candida, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Probiotic beneficial
bacteria work with tissue and cells to metabolize proteins
and eliminate toxins from our bodies. Probiotics help to
kill viruses and parasites. Probiotics help to lower
cholesterol. Probiotics help prevent yeast and fungal
infections and even eliminate them if they are already in
existence. Probiotics stimulate B-Lymphocyte and similar
natural anti-bodies that help fight infections. Probiotics
produce Lactoferrin which is an iron-binding protein needed
to obtain iron from our foods and facilitate the absorption
of iron that we need for our oxygen carrying blood cells.
Probiotics also stimulate our body's natural production of
alpha-interferon which is essential for proper immune
system response and effectiveness.
Since our skin is a major part of our respiratory system
and waste elimination system, when our intestinal system is
not able to function properly, our skin then is used to
eliminate waste from our bodies. This results in skin
irritations and disorders. Probiotics increase the waste
and toxin elimination from our intestinal system making it
unnecessary for our skin to be used for excess waste
elimination. Therefore, with the use of probiotics, skin
irritation and disorders are prevented and often eliminated
if they already exist. Since our skin is no longer being
burdened by waste elimination, body odor is eliminated
along with bad breath. Not just our skin is cleared of
toxic waste when our intestinal system if functioning
properly with healthy flora, but also our lungs and other
vital organs freed of toxic waste.
It is indeed unfortunate that our modern food production
and processing practices have made it necessary for us to
use probiotic supplements in order to have a healthy
digestive system and to be able to properly eliminate the
toxins i.e. chemicals and heavy metals that have become a
part of our food production. It is also unfortunate that
our over use of antibiotics, synthetic prescription drugs
and chemicals such as chlorine, which were supposed to keep
us healthy are actually causing us difficulty as they kill
the healthy flora that we need in order to live. We need
to be aware of these developments take care of ourselves
with the use of probiotics. Probiotics are essential for
our health.
