Re: A thought on LF
This really is not rocket science. Do you think it was a miracle of Jesus that put all that bacteria in your colon?
Here is a simple example. Do several enemas to wash your colon out entirely clean. Then observe the composition of your next bowel movement and you will find it to be identical to a normal stool with the same composition of normal stool. The bacteria count will be identical and your colon will once again be populated with the same amounts of bacteria as the stool passes through. Why? Because the beneficial microflora reside primarily along the lining of your SMALL INTESTINE and as the food moves down it becomes inter populated with them. The colon happens to have more bacteria in TOTAL because at that point the bacteria have been feeding and multiplying for several hours as the food traveled along your SMALL intestines while the colon is full of fecal matter. As I have already stated, the only reason there might be a higher count of beneficial flora in the colon is because by the time food reaches there it is already saturated with bacteria, good as well as bad.
Before you and Fecal Man get too excited, keep in mind that you both missed the point ENTIRELY, which was, the small intestines are in a pH of 7.0 to 9.0 and any alteration to this pH through acidosis via diet or other means greatly disturbs the microflora and leads to candida overgrowth.
By the way, the smiley face is made from the fungal form of candida, which thrives in an acidic environment. How did I kill it? by making the pH of my intestinal lining alkaline through eating large quantities of greens.
