THE "FRIENDLY" BACTERIA Necessary To Health! by Lena Sanchez

THE "FRIENDLY" BACTERIA Necessary To Health!

© By Lena Sanchez

Yes, there is a friendly and necessary bacterium

required to stay health. Let me tell you a true story.

17 years ago, my 2 year-old grandson had been having

diarrhea for weeks and nothing seemed to stop it. The doctor

had given prescriptions and a diet that wasn't touching it.

After two weeks of diarrhea it had became watery and

blood tinged making my grandson one tired and cranky

little boy as his system was unable to absorb nutrients

from his food or vitamins. One day a dietitian friend was

visiting us while I had my grandson for the weekend and

I told him how perplexed I was at what to do for this child.

My friend, said to give him a glass of acidophilus milk and

it will clear it up. He went on to explain that the system

was devoid of friendly bacteria namely lactobacillus

among others and acidophilus milk had the friendly bacteria.

I told him my grandson was allergic to milk but he informed

me that even people allergic to milk can take the acidophilus

milk without a problem…

After giving my grandson a glass of the milk he was fine

within a few hours.

That grandson had chronic ear infections from the age of

9 months until he had tubes put in his ears at the age of

five and was on antibiotics off and on the whole four and

something years, which killed off the friendly bacteria and

made it necessary to add probiotics to his system on a

weekly basis. He is now a healthy 19-year old college

student getting straight 4.0 average!

As the years went by I came across adults in the medical

Offices where I worked that were having the same problem

and I prescribed the same treatment, behind the doctors

back, and miraculous things happened for them as well.

At the beginning of my learning about friendly bacteria

It wasn't available for sale other than the acidophilus milk.

But in the last ten years friendly bacteria has become

available in health food stores in tablet and capsule form,

some will work well while others aren't as effective.

What is the "friendly" bacterium?

Acidophilus is actually a strain of bacteria, a beneficial one

that naturally inhabits the stomach and bowel, but a "germ"

nonetheless. Despite its lineage, it can be helpful in a

number of healthful situations, most of them involving

digestion and bowel function. When the body fights germs

they are usually expelled through the bowels and/or urinary

tract, therefore making it a necessity at that time to have

a tip-top conditioned intestinal tract.

Yeast infections are a sign of way out of balance intestinal

Flora! Balance it and yeast will scurry...
