Re: Do probiotics help cure?

You can totally disagree till the cows come home but that does not change the fact that probiotics either in cultured food or store bought will not implant and will not cure dysbiosis. Look folks, we have evolved with certain friendly bacteria in the gi tract over millions of years. they are specific bacteria that provide many benefits.The human intestinal tract is one of the richest bacterial communities in the world. Once this community is obliterated by Antibiotics , it will never be the some. It is as diverse as the Amazon rainforest, then it is clearcut by Antibiotics , then what comes back is never the same bacterial community. Probiotics in no way can even come close to duplicating it. If you think that probiotics offer you some benefit then by all means keep taking them. The sad truth is once you have destroyed this diverse ecosystem you can never recover it like it was pre- Antibiotic therapy. This is information that is available if you know where to fin it. The other sad fact is doctors continue to over prescribe Antibiotics and then tell you to eat some yogurt to replace what has been destroyed and people believe this nonsense. IT IS CRIMINAL. The medical care system has not kept up with science. As many as 5000 species are involved in one's microbial community or microbiome, not hte dozen or so found in your probiotic. The misinformation is promulgated by people who think probiotics will help the hukan microbiome recover once it is gone. Tell me, how can a probiotic replace a species of bacteria that is missing after Antibiotic use. It can not and will not replace bacteria. thERE IS A THING CALLED COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION. If you want to know more then I will be glad to share what I know, but I am not interseted in debating these ponts further. My info is based in science. I wish it were easy as taking a probiotic but sadly it is not much use.
