When the intestinal wall is damaged, free radicals and pathogens freely pass into the blood, putting tremendous pressure on the immune system. It is no wonder that with the eating habits so common to many Americans, subtle but damaging changes are continually in progress. To sum up, a good health plan should include knowledge and use of the beneficial bacteria that can be commonly found on the raw unprocessed foods in farmer s markets, or from your own garden. As much as is possible, avoid the harmful factors that disrupt or destroy the beneficial intestinal ecosystem. If these have been treated too harshly with herbicides and pesticides, consider probiotic supplements.
Many companies offer probiotic supplements.
Be sure to use only the ones containing live cultures and starter nutrients so that a healthy friendly bacteria population can be established, and so that you receive all the benefits of probiotics described above. Buy from a reputable company that accurately reports the numbers and kinds of organisms in its products.
