See book keywords and concepts |  Colonization success of the ingested probiotic bacteria is questionable because probiotic bacteria typically are not able to permanently colonize the GI tract. Hence, colonization and benefits are usually transient in nature [88, 89].
2. Prebiotics
Prebiotics are defined as nondigestible and fermentable food components that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of certain colonic bacteria that bring beneficial health effects to the host. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It breeds large quantities of friendly, probiotic bacteria and supplies them to the colon and other parts of the gut in order to neutralize any harmful substances. The strategic location of the appendix allows these useful microorganisms to blend with the fluid fecal matter as it begins its passage through the large intestine. More than 400 strands of beneficial bacteria live in the human gastrointestinal tract. By attaching themselves to the lining of the gut, they can elbow out potentially troublesome bacteria, such as Candida Albicans. |

In addition, dandelion also contains some pectin, another type of fiber that helps relieve constipation and reduce cholesterol. (Pectin is also found in apples.)
Dandelion is a natural diuretic. Want something for bloat and water retention? This is your natural medicine. One of the nice benefits of using it as a diuretic is that it does not cause loss of potassium. |

?Mineral oil, a petroleum derivative, acts as an intestinal lubricant. It also coats food particles as well as the lower intestinal walls, mechanically interfering with nutrient absorption. It depletes the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as beta-carotene, calcium, and phosphorus. | | Those "good" probiotic bacteria also produce nutrients, such as B vitamins, including vitamin B12, that are then absorbed through the wall of the colon and into the body; in a state of dysbiosis, these probiotics may not be able to produce enough of these nutrients to maintain health.

The combination of bifidobacteria and Strep ther-mophilus (found in certain yogurts) dramatically reduces the incidence of acute diarrhea in hospitalized children.16 Active-culture yogurt, milk fermented with Lactobacillus casei and other sources of probiotic bacteria may prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In the process, you've depleted your body of several important nutrients—especially the "good" probiotic bacteria that help maintain immunity and gastrointestinal health. And you may have contributed in a small way to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. As antibiotics are used more and more often, bacterial strains that are resistant to those drugs evolve and spread. As a result, the drugs we've come to count on to get rid of truly dangerous infections don't work nearly as well as they used to.
When do you really need an antibiotic? |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts | | Antibiotics, which target the specific microbes linked to some kind of infection, also kill off the probiotic bacteria in the gut. Subsequently, Candida production goes into overdrive and spreads like mold throughout the intestinal tract. This greatly interferes with the activity of enzymes that break down food, resulting in poor digestion and bloating. If the Candida continues to grow, it develops tentacles that penetrate the bowel walls allowing toxins to enter other parts of the body, including the brain. This can cause an entire range of physical and emotional symptoms. |

The probiotic product used in this study contained 4 strains of lactobacilli (L casei, L plantarum, L acidophilus, and L delbrueckii), 3 strains of bifidobacteria (B longum, B breve, and B infantis), and 1 strain of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. Thermophilus (Rachmilewitz et al, 2004). |

See book keywords and concepts | | A diminished population of probiotic bacteria, as caused for example by antibiotics, alcohol or junk foods exposes the gastrointestinal lining numerous toxins. This leads to an overstimulated immune system and, thereby, causes asthma, allergies and eczema.
Until very recently, doctors believed that the appendix has no real use or function. In 2005, 321,000 Americans were hospitalized with appendicitis. Removal of the appendix is one of the most commonly performed surgeries. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria (like Candida albicans, or "yeast"), promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. Probiotics also contain enzymes to help break down and digest dairy products like lactose in milk. The best place to find probiotics is in yogurts that contain "active cultures." But you can also increase the content by purchasing a high-quality probiotic formula. (I have several excellent ones listed on my website, www.jonnybowden.com). |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts | | The medicines led to a massive buildup of toxins and harmful bacteria in the intestines, as they had wiped out nearly the entire population of her gut's friendly, probiotic bacteria. Being a lively young person who lived in a nightlife society (Cyprus), she had very little sleep during nighttime hours. Her irregular sleeping habits and subsequent chronic fatigue made it difficult for her digestive system to cope with any type of food, which further increased the toxicity in her intestinal tract. | | The deadly microbes, normally neutralized and kept in check by the probiotic bacteria and the immune system in the gut, are given the green light to spread freely throughout the digestive tract. After they find a fertile breeding ground in the human sewer plastering the intestinal walls, the harmful bacteria dramatically increase in number in order to deal with the waste. While attacking the waste, these microbes produce large amounts of toxins. They literally turn everything they find into poison. Among the poisons generated are "cadaverine,"8 and "putrescine. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Some people have expressed their concern about losing friendly, probiotic bacteria in the colon as a result of a colonic. It is actually much easier for the friendly colon bacteria to repopulate in a clean environment than in one filled with putrefied and fermented waste matter. Once the colon is properly cleansed, it takes less than 36 hours to restore normal bacteria populations. If you still feel concerned about this, you may use soil-based microbes, such as Nature's Biotics (upwardquest.com), or similar products. Be certain that whatever product you use contains live, not dead, bacteria. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Today, researchers are investigating the therapeutic role of probiotic bacteria (i.e., beneficial bacterial cultures such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) in dairy foods. The following are some of the potential health benefits associated with intake of cultured dairy foods.
Improved Tolerance of Milk
A number of studies have demonstrated that intake of yogurt enhances lactose digestion in individuals with low intestinal levels of lactase, the enzyme necessary to digest lactose. |
Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D. Thompson, Pharm.D., N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Enzymes (page 506) secreted by probiotic bacteria aid digestion. Acidophilus is a source of lactase (page 545), the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar, which is lacking in lactose-intolerant (page 288) people.20
Fructo-oligosaccharides (page 522) (FOS) are naturally occurring carbohydrates that cannot be digested or absorbed by humans. They support the growth of bifidobacteria, one of the beneficial bacterial strains.21 Due to this effect, some doctors recommend that patients taking bifidobacteria also supplement with FOS. Several trials have used 8 grams per day. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Regular ingestion of probiotic bacteria may help prevent vaginal yeast infection (page 454).10'11 A review of the research concluded that both topical and oral use of acidophilus can prevent yeast infection caused by Candida overgrowth.12
Diarrhea (page 163) flushes intestinal microorganisms out of the gastrointestinal tract, leaving the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections (page 265). Replenishing the beneficial bacteria with probiotic supplements can help prevent new infections. | | Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms.7
Immune function (page 255) tends to decline with age. Twice daily supplementation with Bifidobacterium lactis (a particular strain of bifidobacteria) in milk was found in a double-blind trial to significantly enhance various aspects of immune function in a group of healthy elderly people.8 Benefits were apparent after only six weeks of supplementation. Yogurt has been purported to support immune function, due to its inclusion of lactic-acid bacteria.9 While B. | | Active-culture yogurt, milk fermented with Lactobacillus casei and other sources of probiotic bacteria may prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea.17,18,19
As mentioned in the dietary changes section above, if lactose intolerance (page 288) is the cause of diarrhea, supplemental use of lactase (page 545) prior to consuming milk or milk-containing products can be helpful.20 Cheese rarely has enough lactose to cause symptoms in lactose-intolerant people. Lactase products are available that can be chewed while drinking milk or added to milk directly. |
