Healthy people share their bodies with more than 10,000 species of microbes -- living on our skin, in the mucous membrane of our noses and mouths, and most notably, throughout the length and breadth of our intestinal tracts. These microbes are not just helpful; they are essential. They allow us to digest food, to assimilate the nutrients in that food, and they play a huge role -- just beginning to be understood -- in our immune functioning and in many other processes in our bodies. They also protect our mucosal linings and skin from deadly pathogens such as flesh eating bacteria. Quite simply, we cannot live without a healthy microbial population. And yet, we are constantly attacking and destroying it. (Click here to read article...)

 The Co-option of Probiotics Has Begun
by Jon Barron
Probiotics are in the news with multiple studies now promoting their benefits. It appears the medical community has decided to "step in" and take over this core natural medicine concept and make it their own. And not surprisingly, not one article about these new studies makes mention of the fact that 90% of what is in them has been known and incorporated into natural healing programs for many years. Probiotics are now being co-opted.
One of my pet peeves is how the mainstream medical community -- and thus the media -- trashes a particular alternative health concept for years until it finally "discovers" that same concept and claims it as their own. The examples are endless, but several certainly stand out. - Diverticular disease
- Fiber
- Cigarette smoking as dangerous
- Trans fatty acids
- High sugar intake
- Etc.
- Etc.
- Etc.
