Re: The Battle over Bacteria

Ahhhh, my favorite medical topic - BACTERIA!!

I love this way of framing the medical establishment's attitude towards bacteria - all death and war.

One point missing in this article is about the gut flora, where the use of Antibiotics WIPES OUT the beneficial flora that we need to digest food and produce enzymes and even vitamins, etc.

The killer bacteria "C. Difficile" is a good example - it only affects people who have been on Antibiotics , because all the good gut flora are killed off and the C Diff has a chance to multiply. The best cure is probiotics, which re-establish those good bacteria and crowd out the C Diff. Really, it is what they do in the better hospitals now!! [and the Doctors are finally recognising that C Diff occurs after Antibiotic therapy].


Where the article and gut flora meet up is over Acidopholus bacteria. That is the one that helps us digest MILK, and there is allways acidopholus in RAW MILK and plain yogurt, but not in pasturised milk. No wonder people cannot digest pasturised milk - there is no acidopholus in it!! DUG!!

Constipation is often the result of not digesting the food, such as milk. Yup - to find out if milk is constipating you, just take some probiotic Acidopholus, or eat some plain yogurt or raw milk and your bowels will loosen up and you will feel better.

Have a good BM!! Tweet
