Probiotics

"Probiotics are critical to human health. Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a friendly bacterium necessary for the digestion of proteins. It also reduces fungus infections, lowers blood cholesterol , aids general digestion and enhances nutrient absorption. Deficiencies may result in constipation , bloating, intestinal toxicity, gas, bad breath, Candida , mold and fungal infections.

Bifobacterium bifidium is key for the synthesis of the vitamin K and B vitamins, including Vitamin B-12. Deficiency of Bifobacterium bifidium can cause constipation , gas and elevated levels of ammonia from protein digestion, which can lead to liver toxicity. It is commonly used in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis. A high level of ammonia in the blood stream decreases appetite and leads to nausea and vomiting. Bifobacterium bifidium can be used as a douche to fight yeast infections, or as an enema to fight bacteria and improve bowel function, but it should also be taken orally.

Ideally probiotics should also be taken with Chlorella. [It's best taken] 15 – 25 minutes before each meal to help the body properly digest. The Chlorella will cause the probiotics to multiply at four times the rate of normal. You cannot consume too much friendly bacteria because it is flushed regularly from the body and must be replaced, although it will readily culture throughout a healthy digestive tract , especially if our diet is comprised of mostly raw foods . The typical cooked-food diet is quite toxic, which drives our intestinal flora to extinction so our bodies are void of it. When over 200 senior citizens (ages 70 – 90) were checked for intestinal flora, over 90% were shown to have none in their bodies. This is a shocking statistic since probiotics are critical for human health, not simply an option. Along with dehydration , lack of probiotics is a primary cause of constipation ." - Bob McCauley

Probiotics play a key role in human nutrition and health in balancing the intestinal microflora naturally. Probiotics have been used therapeutically to modulate immunity, improve digestive processes, lower cholesterol, treat rheumatoid arthritis, prevent cancer, improve lactose intolerance, and prevent or reduce the effects of atopic dermatitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, diarrhea, constipation as well as candidiasis and urinary tract infections.

NUTRITION INFORMATION: Microorganisms that inhabit our skin and mucus membranes establish a miniature ecosystem with our bodies to maintain health and well being. Although the microflora ecosystem is generally stable, it is sensitive to certain factors. In such cases, the normal flora may be replaces by toxin-producing or pathogenic bacteria that may be associated with all manner of acute symptoms and/or chronic generative disease. Numerous factors can adversely affect the microflora ecosystem, including:

  • The use of broad spectrum antibiotics:
  • Dietary factors including meats from animals given antibiotics
  • Improper fiber intake causing gastrointestinal disturbances
  • Fruits and vegetables which often contain residues from pesticides and herbicides
  • Pathogeninc mocroorganisms- and other environmental factors which adversely affect the microflora.
