What are Probiotics?
Residential bacteria form colonies in your
gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and vaginal tract. Transient
bacteria are travellers that are just passing through.
Friendly bacteria including Lactobacillus acidophilus,
Bifido-bacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are
your body’s first line of defence against the potentially
harmful micro organisms that you inhale or ingest.
Probiotics are another term for these friendly bacteria that
live and work in your gastrointestinal tract every day of
your life. Think of them as the "home guard," a mighty
bacterial army that defends your body against dangerous
invaders. Having sufficient numbers of these friendly
bacteria in residence can help prevent a wide range of
health problems.

Have you heard Probiotics are making
unprecedented inroads into scientific circles?
Their overwhelming health and vitality benefits can no
longer be ignored, due to voluminous peer reviewed
articles published in every respected scientific journal
in the world. Health retailers are seeing a resurgence
of probiotics gaining acceptance as mainstream health
products.
Alternative therapy practitioners became aware of the
health advantages of “good” bacteria nearly a hundred
years ago. But the news was overshadowed by the dramatic
age of antibiotics and “miracle cures.” Many were not
ready to hear that bacteria could be beneficial.
What goes around comes around. This time the revival of
probiotics is commanding notice by medical and public
health professionals, for two key reasons.
First, the bright light of antibiotics is dimming as
so-called miracle drugs increasingly meet their match
with “superbugs” that exhibit power and ingenuity worthy
of sci-fi thrillers. Conventional professions are
finally admitting that the application of prescription
drugs has its limits and the benefits of drugs come at a
price.
Pathogenic microbes can outwit the drugs, change form to
conceal themselves from the immune system, evolve with
increasing strength, mimic human tissues and even hide
out until prescription therapies are finished. Germs are
able to multiply rapidly, increasing in strength every
time they evolve to score a victory over their
antibiotic competitor and gain advantage over the host
environment – you, the human being.
The second factor is an equal driving force. Intense
scientific research is documenting the value of
probiotics for gut problems and the exciting potential
for far-reaching, multiple health applications.
-
Children exposed to probiotics around
the time of birth have been found to be 40 percent
less prone to develop atopic eczema at their fourth
birthday than children who miss out on the probiotics.
-
New studies are investigating the use
of probiotics to stop babies from developing hay fever
or asthma.
-
In a six-week study of ulcerative
colitis patients, probiotics therapy transformed their
inflamed and bleeding colons into nearly normal
tissue.
-
By their acknowledged influence on
bacterial flora, probiotics may function as
anti-inflammatory agents. This has implication for a
wide range of ailments that have been linked to
inflammation. There is even greater hope with the
breakthrough in using probiotics for gut inflammation,
as its origins may be related to the development of
certain cancers.
