LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS PROVIDING 6 BILLION GOOD BACTERIA PER ½ TEASPOON GROWN IN AN ORGANIC MEDIUM AND NATURALLY STABILIZED Acidophilus works by assisting in the digestion of proteins, a process in which lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes, natural antibiotic substances that inhibit pathogenic organisms, and B vitamins are produced. According to the Colon Health Handbook, the healthy colon should contain at least 85% lactobacillus and 15% coliform bacteria. However, the typical colon bacteria count is the reverse, resulting in excessive gas, bloating, intestinal and systemic toxicity, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrient, which leads to an overgrowth of Candida and yeast infections in the vaginal tract. Acidophilus may help to detoxify harmful substances. Factors that contribute to candidiasis are recurrent use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, aspirin, corticosteroids, poor diet, sugar, yeast, and stress. These all cause an imbalance of the "friendly" bacteria. The good flora bind with some of the unwanted substances, causing them to be excreted. Acidophilus also has an antibacterial effect. When taking antibiotics, the friendly bacteria are destroyed along with the harmful bacteria. Supplementing with Lactobacilus Acidophilus helps maintain a healthy intestinal flora. An unhealthy flora can lead to the liberation of large quantities of ammonia, which irritates the intestinal membranes. The ammonia can be absorbed into the bloodstream and cause nausea, a decrease in appetite, vomiting, and other toxic reactions. Undigested food can stagnate or lead to constipation and gas. The putrefactive bacteria that is produced from undigested food may produce excessive histamine, causing an allergic reaction and additional toxic build-up and food allergies. |
