Beneficial Bacteria

Info and writing was taken from the lesson of: Gut Prescriptions/ Natural Solutions to your Digestive Problems B. Watson ND

Trillions of bacteria, yeast, and parasites live in the intestines, primarily in the Large Intestines (Colon). 400-500 variety of microorganisms typically resides.

For a healthy person—Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifido bifidus primarily and a bulk of intestinal good bacteria will be beneficial. Ideally—the ration of good/neutral bacteria to bad bacteria would be approximately 80% to 20%. If there is chronic digestive disorder, a state of “dysbiosis” can exist. This will distort the ratio or reversed it even. Optimal bacteria balance is vital in the Gut for a full health recovery and function.

Did you know…

  • That Probiotics produce important nutrients, eliminate toxins, destroy bad bacteria and enhances the body’s immune system?  

  • Animal products that were fed antibiotics to protect them from disease—when we eat them—we also eat the antibiotics that they ingested.

  • ANTI-BIOTIC means “against life.” PRO-BIOTIC means “for life.”

  • Anti-Biotic kills the bad bacteria that makes us ill and ALSO kills the good bacteria that is essential to good health.
