The Importance of Probiotics

[Anton]

The more I study health, the more I have come to appreciate how
crucially important the bacteria in your gut are to your health. The
website Green Med Info has assembled an amazing list of more than 200
studies, which together explore more than 170 diseases which can be
helped or treated with probiotics.
The conditions include:
Irritable bowel syndrome Atopic Dermatitis Diarrhea Allergic Rhinitis And even the common cold!
According to just one of the many studies linked on the site:

"The ability of the gut microbiota and oral probiotics to
influence systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, glycemic control,
tissue lipid content and even mood itself, may have important
implications ..."

Eating sugar actually nourishes the bad or pathogenic bacteria yeast
and fungi in your gut, which may actually harm you more than its impact
on insulin resistance.  One of the major results of eating a healthy
diet is that you cause your beneficial gut bacteria to flourish, and
they secondarily perform the real "magic" of restoring your health. You
may have noticed that probiotics are now featuring in articles relating
to all sorts of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, depression and heart disease.
As explained by Russian neurologist Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride,
a woman's gut flora can also influence the health of her child, and if
your child's gut flora is compromised from birth, he may be at an
increased risk of vaccine damage. In fact, this imbalanced gut flora may
be the primary factor that contributes to children having an adverse
reaction to a vaccine! Fortunately, you can easily screen for this
imbalance and if it is found, all immunizations should be avoided until
it is corrected with strategies that are comprehensively described in
Dr. McBride's book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, which
is in my opinion essential reading for all parents and parent-to-be.
The  simple and inexpensive screening she suggests  could prevent a
lifetime of suffering...
All in all, the research into probiotics indicates that supplementing
with probiotics is probably more important than taking a multi-vitamin
and its true importance for your health is likely right up there with
vitamin D.
