Probiotic Benefits Finally In The News Where Has The Media Been For All These Years?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) this week is hosting a conference on probiotics allegedly with top scientists.

Probiotics are good germs. Does that sound like an oxymoron to talk of germs that are good? No thanks to the "wonders of science" it is rather the blunders of science (multitude though they be) that has people commonly associating germs and bad together.

These probiotic good germs are beneficial bacteria also referred to as friendly flora that inhabit a healthy gut in great quantities but are diminished or non-existent in an unhealthy gut and intestinal tract.

A probiotic is just as the word indicates. Pro as in good and biotic as in life. Who wouldn't want "good life"? The answer to this question for starters is the same as the question. WHO (World Health Organization) wouldn't want "good life" i.e. probiotics – or at least has little if any until recently. You could replace WHO with NIH, AMA, CDC, and a host of other alphabet health groups – or alleged health groups.

The subject of probiotics is referred to as a "new area" by the Associated Propagandaess (AP) propping up of this week's NIH conference on the matter.

The only thing new in this is the NIH and AP giving recognition to the subject of probiotics that is old as the hills and twice as petrified.

New MRSA solutions needed?

Superbugs called MRSA that are resistant to antibiotics have brought much folderol calling for new solutions from The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Medical Association (AMA). These entities actually created the problem first by replacing natural solutions with "wonder drug" (blunder drug) antibiotics – "against life" products that even more readily destroy probiotics – and second by training patients to ask for/demand antiobiotics willy nilly. In recent years with the growing MRSA problem doctors have actually taken to blaming patients for insisting on antibiotics that doctors brainwashed them into reliance upon.

Japan had an epidemic with MRSA in the 1990s and solved it almost 10 years ago with probiotics.

If CDC, AMA and also NIH for that matter are truly interested in solutions they have been provided by Chuck Wagner of www.ChooseToBeHealthy.com since at least the beginning of this century. Wagner has posted a detailed abstract of a research paper by a trio of scientists including Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D. on this matter at http://www.probiotics12plus.com/rp5.htm for the alphabet soup groups – and even for you, too.

"Resistant" not limited to bacteria

The various alphabet soup groups of main$tream modern $cience have been resistant to truth about probiotics (and most other nutritional matters on true health for that matter) for a great many years.

Almost three years ago infant diarrhea was noted to be predominantly checked by probiotics in the medical journal Pediatrics yet a vaccination is being promoted as all the rage for this problem.

Numerous medical journals since have documented other baby benefits from probiotics (such as in colic), as well as numerous other improvements in immunity and health for young and old adults alike.

Only two months ago Duke University immunologists and surgeons announced their discovery of a role for the appendix that modern medicine has commonly considered useless. The appendix was found to both protect and produce probiotics for the gut.

One Duke University surgery professor then fell prey to the medical mythology that germs are lurking about to prey upon people with his pronouncement that people could "catch" probiotics like some helpful contagion. However, only an intentional proactive approach will replenish probiotics.

The recent AP promotion of the NIH conference also noted (erroneously) "the market is ahead of the science". The "new" "news"/propaganda by AP listed many newcomers from major, main$tream companies (prominent news advertisers) with inferior products while ignoring reliable, seasoned veteran companies with superior and proven products such as Dr. Ohirra's Probiotics12Plus and the Innate Response product Flora 20-14 (NOT prominent news advertisers).

Hundreds of probiotic products have flooded the marketplace just since 2005 according to the AP piece. Inept and irresponsible "news" reporting then waters down the beneficial impact of beneficial bacteria by ignoring the tried and true probiotic providers.

The AP article also did not note that there are a dozen or more different varieties of probiotic flora flourishing in a healthy intestinal tract. Most products contain only one or a few different strains and very few contain at least "10 billion daily" in total.

Near the end of the very long AP article it was at least noted that flora "need to be alive and ingested in huge amounts" with "10 billion daily" specifically mentioned and attributed to Huffnagle, University of Michigan researcher who calls probiotics "a new essential food group" in his new book, The Probiotics Revolution.

The Innate Response product named `Flora 20-14' contains 20 billion per capsule of 14 different varieties of probiotic friendly flora.

The polluted mainstream media has a sadly pathetic pattern of propaganda when it comes to health matters like flora that stretches back for decades. In the early 1970s there was the health matter of the miraculous benefits of the mineral silicon in a vegetal form very soon thereafter followed by a flooding of the marketplace with non-vegetal silicon in numerous other forms The same has occurred since the early 1980s with regard to the mineral chromium in a 100% whole food grown variety followed by a flooding of the marketplace with numerous non-food chromium forms of little or no real value – and even harmful in the long run with the most popularized variety.

New lies for old continue from the unholy trinity of BIG government, BIG pharma and BIG media all acting together as one for their own vested interests decidedly not in the very best interests of you and yours.

The lengthy dissertation by Mr. regarding the therapeutic

effect of probiotics is part correct. I agree the best prophylaxis

against disease and infection is a healthy gut redolent of

competitive, life-sustaining organisms. But to get it in the form of a

pill seems to be returning to the profit paradigm of big Pharma, big

Medicine, big Ag, big Government. Don't we need to re-learn the

advantages of natural, wholesome, living food?
