Probiotics



Probiotics are beneficial living microflora that are important to good health. These microorganisms are the ones used in the fermentation of healthful foods. The healthy human intestine contains billions of microorganisms – both good and potentially harmful. The good bacteria in the intestine are considered an integral part of normal immune system support.

Another reason probiotics are important is because they can synthesize certain vitamins and short-chain fatty acids to support a healthy intestinal lining and bolster immunity. An intestinal lining occupied by healthy beneficial flora leaves little space and nutrients for unwelcome micro- organisms.

The intestinal tract of a healthy person generally has a ratio of about 85% good and 15% potentially harmful organisms.

Modern living can take a toll on our bodies in many ways. Taking antibiotics and drinking chlorinated water, for example, may often change the optimal microbial balance essential for good health.

Also, the widespread use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals has changed the bacterial balance in the soil and depleted our natural supply of probiotics.

Digestive Health

Recent research suggests the use of probiotics can be beneficial in gastrointestinal infections, irritable bowel syndrome and even inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis.

Healthy Immune Systems

In addition to the benefits probiotics provide for various gastrointestinal disorders, probiotics also provide benefits for the immune system. A recent study published in Clinical Nutrition, showed 479 healthy adults, ages 18 to 67, were supplemented daily with vitamins and minerals with or without probiotic bacteria. Those individuals taking the multi-vitamin/mineral supplementation along with probiotic bacteria were noted to have a significantly higher enhancement in cytotoxic T suppressor cells and a higher enhancement to T helper cells. A shorter duration of colds was also noted. The intake of probiotic bacteria for at least three months significantly shortened common cold episodes by almost two days and also reduced severity of symptoms.

Beneficial soil and plant based microbes used to be ingested as part of food grown in rich, unpolluted soil. However, for the last 50 years we have been sterilizing our soil with pesticides and herbicides, destroying most bacteria both bad and good. Our modern lifestyle, which includes antibiotic drug use, chlorinated water, chemical ingestion, pollution and poor diet, is responsible for eradicating much of the beneficial bacteria in our bodies. A lack of beneficial microbes often results in poor intestinal and immune system health, contributing to a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. The following symptoms may result from a lack of probiotics: Gas, Bloating and Indigestion Diarrhea and/or Constipation Bad Breath and Body Odor Candida Yeast Infections Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Parasites IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Colitis Crohn's Disease Skin problems such as Acne, Eczema and Psoriasis Delayed development in children High Cholesterol Levels Frequent Colds and FluPrimal Defense (Homeostatic Soil Organisms) for Parasites and Candida: From the book "Beyond Probiotics" by Ann Louise Gittleman"In the human gastrointestinal tract there are hundreds of microscopic life forms that live in a symbiotic relationship with one another. When the immune system breaks down, the body is left wide open for invasion of pathogenic organisms such as candida (yeast) and parasites. When taken on a daily basis, the Primal Defense HSO's set up a protective grid in the body and stimulate the immune system to ward off against all forms of bacteria, yeast, fungi and parasites. When the Primal Defense HSO's colonize in the gastrointestinal tract here is simply no place for the pathogenic organisms to live. Primal Defense HSO's change the intestinal environment and can prevent the body from infestation of these dangerous organisms. Without Primal Defense HSO's, parasites and candida
