![]() Probiotics Can Heal Your Digestive Tract |
|||||||||||||||||||
You need live bacteria in your gut. But you need the right kind. Some help, some hurt. The more good guys you have in your colon, the less the bad guys can have control. Your digestive tract has one-hundred thousand BILLION bacteria living inside it! If you write that out it's the number one followed by 14 zeros. 100,000,000,000,000! That's TEN TIMES the number of cells you have in your entire body! 30 - 50% of your fecal matter (AKA poop) is bacteria. Up to 500 different species. Your colon's literally a zoo! And that's only in your digestive tract... 5 Ways Probiotics Can Change Your LifeI'd like to share five ways probiotics can improve your life (not just your intestines)… 1. They Supply 5-10% of Your Body's Fuel: One of your intestinal flora's favourite foods are fibers from plant food (which we can't digest). Healthy bacteria transform fiber into a fatty-acid called butyrate. Butyrate gets burned as fuel by your colon cells. Plus, it's been shown to help decrease the growth of colon cancer cells. 2. Keeps Your Immune System On Guard: 70% of your immune system lies in your gastrointestinal tract. Supplying these beneficial bacteria keeps it active and fit so that when a serious bacterial invasion takes place, it will be ready to defend and defeat. 3. Dairy Aid! Lactobacillus bacteria have been shown to help you digest the troublesome sugar lactose found in dairy products. 4. Heavy-Metal Detoxifying! Bacteria bind onto heavy metals in your colon. Instead of these poisons going to your heart and brain, they're vanquished with your next trip to the restroom. 5. Improved Skin Health and Decreased Allergies: By altering your digestive tract's immune system, probiotics can significantly help with eczema and allergies. Most people don't necessarily have to take probiotics every day. I'd recommend you follow a strict regimen for at least 60 days. After that once every couple of days, or whenever you eat red meat (e.g., beef, pork, veal, etc.) or have a bloating stomach, may be enough. Especially if you're already eating probiotic-rich, fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut or miso. If you ever have food poisoning with diarrhea, taking probiotics every couple of hours, can help produce rapid relief. Many have found this completely cures intestinal infections in a matter of hours. I'll now give you some general guidelines for improving your immune system with probiotics and avoiding unnecessary harm if you ever need to take antibiotics. The stronger your immune system, the more in balance your digestive tract's bacteria will be... which of course, means the more regular your bowel movements will become. So Here Are Some Tips To Help Out your Microbiological Friends... • Buy only meat, chicken, eggs and dairy products that are antibiotic-free. • Don't take antibiotics for every common cold! Most common colds are caused by viruses and antibiotics are USELESS against viruses while wiping out 99.9% of your colon's healthy bacteria. • If you do take antibiotics to fight off a bacterial infection, make sure you complete the FULL dosage prescribed — even if symptoms disappear early. You must wipe out the infection completely or else the strongest bacteria will survive and pass on their resistant genes to their offspring. Just make sure you... • Take a probiotic supplement about THREE HOURS AFTER each dose of the antibiotic. This will ensure any killed bacteria in the gut from the antibiotics will be replaced. Continue for 2-3 weeks after completing the prescription. Then return to a normal daily dosage... • Take a high-quality, probiotic each day. About 10 billion bacteria per day is sufficient.

In 1992 Dr. Mauro began training in the martial art of Aikido Yoshinkai. In 2003, he earned a 3rd degree black belt. It was Aikido that originally opened his eyes to living a more natural lifestyle -- staying more balanced physically and mentally. In 1995, he began receiving help from a Naturopathic Doctor for some digestive trouble he was experiencing. This first introduction to natural medicine resulted in him meeting other Naturopathic Doctors and finally making a life-changing decision. Despite the fact he had just completed 6 years of university, including a Masters degree in Education, Dr. Mauro abandoned his teaching career, entered Naturopathic College, emerging four years later an ND. Dr. Mauro lives in Windsor, Ontario with his wife Natalia, son Alek and daughter Ella. When he's not at the clinic, he's either watching Alek play golf, watching Ella in gymnastics class or coaching Alek's soccer team.Though he's helped patients with a wide variety of disorders, he's found the most success helping people with gut trouble. "I like the fact it's so easy to see an improvement," he says. "If you're constipated, only going once a week, and you start going everyday, you KNOW you're getting better."
Sometimes, even if you are going once a day, it's difficult because your stools are too hard and dry.
One of the problems with laxatives is that they don't produce this banana-like quality. Instead they bring on diarrhea. Diarrhea is dehydrating and depleting of valuable nutrients (such as potassium and sodium). Dr. Mauro's 7-part email series and his collection of 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women help produce this ideal consistency because they help you retrain your bowels to work properly. When your colon is in good health, it will naturally make sure your stools are neither too dry nor too hard.
It's no wonder," says Dr. Mauro, "that so many women suffer eating disorders. If you're not evacuating, it's hard to make room for more food. If waste can't find its way down and out, it's going to make your stomach bulge outward and upward. In fact, your colon can expand three times its regular size (along with your stomach). The secret to a normal appetite is making sure you are emptying your bowels every 24 hours." You should have no problem achieving one or two bowel movements a day, if you make the simple changes outlined in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women. This should happen in less than 30 days of using these strategies.
Many women experience breakthrough bleeding, decreased appetite, depression, headaches, low libido, urinary tract infection, skin problems, gum inflammation. They also have an increased risk of contracting viral diseases. Considering all the risks, is this really a good way to "balance your hormones?" Especially when natural methods may produce far superior (and economical) results... Oftentimes hormonal imbalance is caused by a high consumption of white flour and sugary foods. These same foods turn into a glue-like substance that further clogs up your bowels. By following the natural remedies and lifestyle changes in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women, you'll be helping to bring your hormones into balance, naturally. Likewise, getting your bowels moving will stop toxins from backing up into your bloodstream, which will further knock your hormones out of whack. "It is estimated that there are 36 different poisons that come from the colon, and as these accumulate in the bowel over a period of weeks, months or often years, they spread into your liver, gallbladder and other organs; into your blood; into your tissues and finally into your cells." -- Women's Menopause Health Newsletter, October 2007
Senna is one of the few herbs medical doctors prescribe. Unfortunately, it's harmful to use on a daily basis. Once a week as part of a colon cleanse is okay, but more frequently is impairing. The effects of senna can be fairly drastic," explains Dr. Mauro. "They tend to flush out too much of the healthy bacteria. It's like having diarrhea. It's dehydrating and depleting of your electrolytes (potassium and sodium)." I don't know about you but I don't want to be dependent on an herb to make me go. Worse still, you have little control over your bowel movements. You go when the herb is ready to make you go. There's not much warning. That's fine if you're 80 and don't leave home. That's not great when you're on your way to soccer practice to pick up the kids. Senna is also dangerous for people with high blood pressure, kidney problems or edema. Healing and strengthening your colon so it can function on its own, as described in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies For Women, is the way to go.
As you can see, there's a lot of money in keeping people constipated and reliant on laxatives. No wonder Dr. Mauro's 37 Constipation Relief Strategies are not more well known. Digestive disorders account for the largest amount of lost time from work; they are the number one cause of disability absence; they comprise one-sixth of all hospital admissions. It is acknowledged by conventional medicine that at least 40 percent of all cancers originate in the gastrointestinal tract. Many alternative practitioners would say the number is much higher." — Women's Menopause Health Center Newsletter , October 2007
