Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 By taking care of yourself. That is, cleanse the liver, kidney, and colon... eat a healthy balenced whole foods diet, exercise and make peace with yourself and your life, and your flora will take care of itself. you don't really need anything other than that. g > The question is.....HOW do we feed the bacteria native to ourselves??? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probiotics won't be killed off by steroids or chlorinated water etc, only suppressed a little. The immune system has nothing to do with gut culture; to the immune system the gut contents are outside the body.

Maintaining a healthy immune system can be accomplished, especially in the elderly, by increasing HGH, which increases thymus size and function and also increases white blood cell production in response to challenge. Increasing robustness of all the cells including the white blood cells is accomplished with glutathione precursors. This allows them to work longer before succumbing. Centenarians tested all has something in common - higher natural glutathione levels than normal for an elderly person. Reducing toxin load and curing leaky gut will load the immune system less. Toxin load includes bad bacteria in the bowel. Yoghurt contributes a few good bacteria to your intestine. Hopefully it will contribute some bifidobacteria as well as lactobacilli; these are real workhorses in the gut compared to lactobacilli. There are also steps you can take to increase proliferation of the strains you get in the yogurt and also the other strains that you have naturally, so they can control the strategic position of the bowel lining. This involves correcting the diet, to incorporate more inulin-containing foods as staples. This addresses the shortfall of some 9 grams or more that the mdern diet sees. You can actually work out your intake with figures we have available to approximate your personal deficiency in this natural prebiotic. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
