Re: You don't recommend probiotics?

Dear bevbirt,

Over many years of working with people using probiotics I have not seen any evidence of their supposed value. I can theorize that they must be good since they help us digest food better and eliminate waste better, given the fact they are they same friendly bacteria that we don't have enough of anymore. However, after having experimented with them myself and researched the way the intestines operate I came to the conclusion that there must be a major difference between the body generating its own breed of these micro-organsism and the ones that are ingested in one way or another.

You may compare this with extracting vitamins from foods and then ingesting them. They do not only have no anti-oxidant effects, according to the very latest research on vitamins, but they may in fact cause the very deficiency they are supposed to remove. The same principle applies to many other "smart solutions" to our health problems. The body, though, makes its own rules that seem to defy the logic of our thinking. Yes, there is a deeper intelligence at work that is unseen, yet influences everything. The life force that is driving the probiotic bacteria in our body is in profound harmony with the life force that runs the rest of the body. The balance between all parts of the body is extremely delicate. It's like walking on a razor's edge. This is particularly the case in the gastro-intestinal tract where the external world of matter and energy interacts with the internal world of matter and energy. The tiny micro-organsism are genererated within our gut are responsible for this essential symbiosis. You can easily tip over this balance by bringing into this environment unchecked amounts of foreign bacteria that carry a different frequency than the ones bred inside the body. They foreign probiotics can indeed undermine the body's ability to make its own population.

You may need to follow your own instincts on this, for I only make suggestions that are true for me.

Best wishes,
