They never quite get the help they need to win a decisive battle, much less the war. An impassioned appeal by the Colonian ambassador in the Florian parliament convinces the Florians to commit their entire resources to help the Colonians defeat the Moldari. They send in 10 times the weapons, troops and technical support and in just 6 weeks, the Moldari are weakening. Their slave economy cannot support the war effort, and other countries decide to cut off trade and let the dictatorship collapse of its own weight. Soon the war is over, peace is signed, the Moldari dicator commits suicide, and balance and harmony reign.
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, they proclaim.
In our little analogy, Colonia, of course, is your intestinal tract. As it turns out, if you are like most people, your intestines have already been invaded and occupied by the Enemy, the bad bacteria, yeasts and so on. When you take an intestinal flora supplement such as Flora Source, at first the flora are facing a huge occupying army and are easily overwhelmed by that army. All troops need materiel to work with - rifles, ammo, explosives, uniforms, etc. Even Flora Source, as good as it is, can use some help.
