Probiotic Strains Matched to the Illnesses They Heal
This is GREAT information!
Probiotic Strains Matched to the Illnesses They Heal
By Melanie Christner NTP, CHFS, CGP of Honest Body
Imagine you are at the doctor's office for help with a specific health concern. After a full examination, your doctor pulls out a prescription pad to write you a script for – gasp – a probiotic strain.
The prescription is handed to you, and you take a look at it. Looking up in surprise, you ask the doctor if the recommendation is indeed for a probiotic rather than an antibiotic.
The doctor nods his/her head and explains that the particular strain recommended for your ailment has been found to have an 86% success rate as tested in a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
You ask about side effects, and your doctor replies that there — ARE NONE.
You are (understandably) amazed. You take your prescription, fill it, take as directed, and your condition is taken care of...with minimal discomfort. You even experience other health issues clearing up — that you thought were completely unrelated.
Sound like a far-fetched scenario?
Depending on how up-to-date and open minded your health provider is, this may already be a reality. And it may become more of a reality in mainstream medicine in the future.
The reason? Researchers are taking quite an interest in probiotic strains and their effects on human and animal health. In recent years there has been a surge in the study of probiotics, the human microbiota, and other related applications.
The World Health Organization defines probiotics as "live organisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host".
Some of the Ways Probiotics Keep Us Healthy
Probiotics have the ability to hinder or kill pathogens by strain-specific processes such as:
1. "Crowding Out" Pathogens
When probiotics are taken in sufficient and therapeutic amounts they can do the work of crowding out pathogens and using the nutrients and space that would otherwise be used by the pathogens.
2. Secreting Beneficial Chemicals
Probiotics produce and secrete molecules like bacteriocins (a protein produced by bacteria of one strain that is active against those of a closely related strain), hydrogen peroxide, antibiotics and more, that control the growth and survival of surrounding microorganisms.
3. Positive Stimulation of the Immune System
Probiotics "chat" with the immune system part of the gut (epithelial cells, Peyer's patches M cells, and ....

Great info...something the alternative world has been saying for many years.
Sooooo many of our diseases are literally linked to our gut microflora, even things like diabetes.
But think about, as we've discussed, you are eating a diet full of Roundup, fluoride, chemical preservatives, and are not taking any probiotic strain at all.
Sorry folks....it ain't 1955 anymore. You have to understand this stuff, or your health could suffer.
BTW, my doctor recommends switching probiotic strains every month or two.

Cool... staying healthy without the Lord!
I'm sure He's pleased by this double mindedness
There are a growing number of maladies that medical science has no answer for, much less being able to successfully treat them.
Wonder what Christians who are dependent upon doctors are going to do if they get something doctors are clueless about... oh, that's right... DIE, that's what they're gonna do!
May as well get a nice fat life insurance policy so at least your family cane have some cash to blow after yer gone.
Seriously, it's amazing that so many Christians put doctors first... and they are stuck with the results the wisdom of man gets instead of what Jesus has already paid for! Incredible!
Must be something wrong with the Bibles they are printing these days!

This thread has nothing to do with depending on doctors and everything to do with keeping a healthy strong body. We live in a fallen world full of chemicals and nutrition deficient food.
God's word also tells us to be wise. Wisdom says to keep a healthy gut.

What on EARTH does taking probiotics have to do with doctors? You are so quick to judge. Dang, will you please get some social skills?
