Then, dys-symbiosis, or dysbiosis exists. The eradication of these organisms can make a dramatic difference in the patient's health. A very common cause of bacterial or fungal dysbiosis is often the repeated or long term use of antibiotics. This leaves these areas open to be colonized by yeast, unfriendly bacteria, and parasites. Parasitic infestations are on the increase because of changes in our lifestyles that have occurred over the last few decades.
International travel is now commonplace.
If you are not a traveler, the world and its parasites will come to you, brought by imported produce and immigrants from countries where sanitation is sub-standard. Eating out in restaurants frequently and the close contact of day care centers contribute to the spread of parasites. Maldigestion can also promote dysbiosis. Dr. Martin Lee says, Colonic flora is a reflection of what it is fed. If food is completely and rapidly digested and absorbed in the small intestine, it is not available to nourish unfriendly bacteria or yeast in either the small or large intestine.
