Probiotics and Allergies
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
The role of the digestive health in allergic conditions is not appreciated in mainstream medicine. The mechanism of how this works is explained with particular attention to the normal microbes that reside in the human gut. They direct the immune system to react or not react to what we are exposed to in our environment. The effects of antibiotics on the gut microflora...

submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
According to a study published in the June 2013 issue of the journal, Open Medicine, 10% of people in the hospital treated with antibiotics will get diarrhea, and 15% of those will be C diff, which often causes severe, even life-threatening, colitis. The authors pooled 16 studies that included 3400 patients and tracked the incidence of those getting...
Probiotics For Urinary Track Infections
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Recent studies document that depletion of vaginal lactobacilli is associated with recurrent urinary tract infections. It was also shown that replenishing these bacteria via vaginal suppositories halved the recurrence rate for infection. We should be turning to the use of vaginal suppositories to treat women with recurrent urinary tract infections rather than...

Finally, in the May of 2012 issue of JAMA it has come out that probiotics can reduce the risk of devleoping diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Experts in nutrition have known this for several decades!

Probiotics vs Antibiotics
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Probiotic means for life and antibiotic means against life. Antibiotics unfortunately destroy the vast majority of microbes that live in the GI tract. We depend on these microbes for digestion, absorption, and good health.
Probiotics vs Antibiotics for Recurrent Urinary Infections
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Mainstream treatment for recurring urinary tract infections has been antibiotics, but now an article in the May of 2012 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine shows that probiotics are nearly as effective as antibiotics over a one year period in decreasing the number of urinary tract infections.
The problem with antibiotics is their side effects. They cause...
Probiotics, Diarrhea, and S. Boulardii
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
When we use antibiotics we destroy the microbial ecosystem in the gut that can lead to overgrowth of microbes that can cause yeast overgrowth. S. boulardii is a friendly yeast that crowds out pathogenic yeast that make us sick. Overuse of antibiotics often also leads to superinfections with C. difficile that causes a horrible inflammation in the gut.
Stress, the GI Tract, and Immunity
submitted by: admin on 10/16/2013
The effects of stress on immunity has been studied and shows that it even affects the number and types of microbes that can survive in the human GI tract. Probiotics have a lot to do with digestion, synthesis of vitamins such as vitamin K, B5, B6 and biotin, stimulation of immunity, and regulation of immunity. Many scientists consider the stool in the gut an...
Super Natural Home with Beth Greer Part II
submitted by: admin on 11/24/2024
Indoor pollution is worse, according to the EPA, than outside. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, come from paints and glues and should be avoided. They are endocrine disruptors that are not safe. Even candles and air fresheners are another source of air pollution in the home. Beeswax is best for candles. Fragrances have up to 100 chemicals that can add to...
The Drug Shortage "Crisis"
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Suddenly, out of nowhere, we seem to be facing what are being called "drug shortages" for some chemotherapy drugs, certain antibiotics, ADHD drugs, some anesthetics, and even electrolye solutions. Sounds fishy to me! While it is difficult to be certain, the lack of respectable ethics of Big Pharma makes one wonder what is going on. Could it be that...
The Many Faces of H. Pylori
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Helicobacter Pylori is found in 50% of human beings. Sometimes it causes problems and at other times it is protective. It is associated with type 2 diabetes, ulcers, and gastric cancer but is protective against asthma, colitis, and intestinal infections. Managing its presence is tricky. Mainstream doctors tend to use triple therapy (two antibiotics, proton pump...
What Can be Done for Ringing in Your Ears?
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
Tinnitus affects 50 million Americans and treatment in mainstream medicine has been very limited. Perhaps the best treatment widely available in clinical practice comes from chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine and the TMJ joint. New research suggests that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be helpful. It is now being recommended...
