Re: Your Bowels Can Create Their Own Antibiotics!

This is true... given the proper pH balance and minerals, your body will manufacture most of its own vitamins as well in the needed amounts... I think C is one of the few that the human body cannot synthesize in adequate quantities and must get through food.

The problem is in getting enough minerals in the diet from food sources... since the beginning of the last century, mineral levels in foods have plummeted. This information was first provided to the U.S. congress in 1936. Between 1973 and 1997 some minerals such as calcium have declined 50% in fresh vegetables making it VERY difficult to get required amounts through diet alone.

This speaks volumes in terms of why previously unheard of mental and physical dis-eases are manifesting and we have not yet addressed assimilation and vitamin production in the gut... where our friendly bacteria become invaluable to us.

My 71 year old mother said that old time farmers (our family used to be all farmers and dairy producers) would say that everyone should eat a bushel of dirt in their lifetime for health... that statement becomes even more intriguing to me given this forum.
