Bacteria is so often labelled as an enemy of good health when in fact this couldn't be farther from the truth. This is not to say there are not some bacteria that can be quite nasty but these are actually in the minority when compared to the billions upon trillions of good bacteria that co-exist alongside us and inside us. Did you know that most of the DNA in your body is not human but bacterial?
The new thinking today is that we need the friendly bacteria in our bodies to be healthy. This means protecting them by lowering your exposure to chemicals and toxins, replenishing them if you have had a course of antibiotics, and feeding them through healthy eating and foods that they want to eat (often called 'pre-biotics').
The friendly bacteria in our bodies have now been linked to our mental health, our immune system, and even some aspects of our personality!
However, all pro-biotics are not the same! It is very important to do your research to be sure the bacteria is properly grown, diverse, and packaged so it is still viable when you take it. Building your biome (friendly bacteria balance) is an important foundation for healing. We can help you with finding the right pro-biotics and the dosage to ensure they are truly effective.
A great starter book for an easy read on this subject is by Dr. Axe called 'Eat Dirt'. In this book he discusses how soil based microbes make our food healthier and are actually thought to be an essential part of our health and well being. If you are looking for a good soil based probiotic, we recommend the Garden of Life range. UK Source USA Source. If you are concerned about pathogenic bacterial overgrowth we recommend the Doterra 'Cleanse & Restore' which can be purchased here.
Other excellent probiotic brands are Innate Response & Swiss BioEnergetics.
