HUMAN wellbeing and the PROBIOTIC |
What is a probiotic?PROBIOTICS (beneficial microbes) are available in either a powder or liquid form to promote your body’s natural immunity, aid digestion and improve overall health or wellbeing. The term probiotic is derived from the Greek language and literally means “for life”. It’s used to describe the friendly microbes that live and work in your gut, guarding you against harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses, and strengthening your immune and endocrine systems. In adequate amounts, probiotic formulations improve digestion and increase absorption of important nutrients like calcium. They also support healthy liver function, produce B vitamins and promote bowel regularity. They can aid against wind, bloating and belching, and can assist in managing your cholesterol. When harmful bacteria overpower the balance of microbes in your system, they take up residence on the lining of your intestinal tract and gradually win the battle against the good microbes. They multiply and spread out, taking over even more of your intestinal area. The importance of beneficial and balanced microbes in the gut Traditional naturopathic philosophy claims that if you sustain a balanced biological flora in the gut, you will fix up to 80% of human disease. The gut is a robust system that sustains life energy that supports the nervous, endocrine, immune and digestive systems that sustains the communication with the brain in a two-way communication. Your gut is critical to the production of melatonin, serotonin (the happy hormone), dopamine, norepinephrine and gastrointestinal hormones (eg. ghrelin). The microbes in your gut and your overall health are inextricably linked. You can have induced life if you are brain dead, but you can not have induced life if you are gut dead. Our bodies contain billions of microbes (ie. bacteria, fungi, yeasts, etc.) – and we need every single one to sustain our nutrition, wellbeing or good health. All life on Earth is based on biology or biological systems. In fact, biology is present on all surfaces of the Earth and these biology populate the atmosphere, the soil system and are also found deep within the Earth’s mantle. The microbes collaborate as populations in a healthy system and there is a balance of beneficial, pathogenic and neutral organisms. Generally, when the pathogenic microbes overpower the beneficial microbes there is illness or disease. Why we need beneficial microbes Humans today are inundated with exposure to toxins and pollutants in the atmosphere, in food and on most surfaces (including the super-bugs in hospitals). The human body today has 500 more chemical toxins than our grandparents had, say prior to the 1950’s. Our resistance to these threats is protected through the energy strength of our immune and endocrine systems that is supported by our general health. Each of us has an internal ecosystem with our organs working continuously to maintain a balance between all the healthy and not-so-healthy things we put into our bodies every day. Therefore, it is critical for optimum health to sustain a balance of microbes through digestion of beneficial microbes as a probiotic (the opposite of anti-biotic). The balanced populations of microbes in our gut prevent, control and fight viruses and other health threats. One of the hardest working internal organs is the intestine, and making sure the intestinal environment is healthy is one of the keys to overall health. You have more than 400 different species of micro-organisms inside your gastrointestinal tract, weighing in at around 1.5 kg. These good, bad and neutral microbes provide your body with important functions – and, in order to remain in good health, you need vast numbers of the good microbes in your system. When your intestinal biology is balanced or you feed your gut with beneficial microbes you make your thyroid wake up and regulate all the glands around your body, including the pancreas, gall bladder, kidneys, adrenals and the liver. Health conditions associated with probiotic deficiencies (low levels of beneficial microbes) include gingivitis, thrush, urinary tract infections, allergies (such as hay fever), candida, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, cold sores, strep throat, acne, athlete’s foot, psoriasis, constipation, chronic diarrhoea, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, colic and nappy rash in infants, premature ageing, hyperactivity, gout and migraines. These health conditions can be supported and perhaps eliminated by improving the biology of the gut through the daily intake of beneficial microbes, or probiotic. Effect on the immune system: Specifically, it helps the immune system overall, of course, and it’s logical that anything that balances/strengthens us in any way helps the immune system: Potential benefits of probiotics Experiments into the benefits of probiotic therapies suggest a range of potentially beneficial medicinal uses for probiotics. For many of the potential benefits, research is limited and only preliminary results are available. It should be noted that the effects described are not general effects of probiotics. Recent research on the molecular biology and genomics of Lactobacillus has focused on the interaction with the immune system, anti-cancer potential, and potential as a biotherapeutic agent in cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, travellers' diarrhoea, pediatric diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome.[15]
Probiotic Contents and useIntroduction I have formulated a probiotic based on 3 years of research and personal trials of probiotic recipes. The formulation is designed to provide beneficial microbes, along with essential minerals and nutrients, etc. that are potentated by microbes in a fermentation process over 4-6 weeks to support the healthy function of the gut. It is my view that probiotics should be prepared and consumed in a liquid form, and taken daily. The effects and benefits to individuals of consuming probiotics of consuming probiotics will vary due to the human conditions of health due to age, exposure to toxins, fitness, lifestyle or overall wellbeing. Contents of the probiotic mix
The contents of this brew are fermented over a period of 3 months so that the beneficial microbes potentate the herbs, minerals, salts, acids, etc. through transmutations or transformations to organic forms that the body needs and can readily use. The herbs and minerals used in this brew are in very small amounts and contained within a stocking (tea bag) so that the large particles are not contained within the brew, but their surface areas are exposed to the microbes. The probiotic is designed to provide a beneficial environment for the natural biological functions within the gut. The probiotic formulationThis probiotic has the following features: · Incorporates food grade beneficial microbes from a mother culture of Effective Micro-organisms- EM1 · Incorporates over 30 important herbs that support the immune and endocrine systems. · Incorporates important anti-oxidant/polyphenol juices such as Mangosteen, Goji, Noni, Pomegranate and others. · Incorporates the full range of sea minerals and additional minerals such as liquid silica, selenium, vanadium and many others. · About 50% of the brew is rainwater with a high bio-energy that has been conditioned and vorticised. Directions for useA initial dosage of 5ml per day before breakfast is recommended for a period of 5 days, followed by an ongoing dosage of 10ml per day. A dosage of 20-30ml per day may be useful where beneficial results are evident or desired during illness. The probiotic can be taken with juice. The best times are first thing in the morning and last at night. Not a MedicineThe use of beneficial microorganisms or other substances in a probiotic is not a medicine, and no claims are made here as to the medical benefits of the product, except as referrals to medical research literature at top of this page. This probiotic is a nutritional supplement only. pHThe pH of the brew should be between 3.4-3.8. This probiotic is checked regularly and the pH value is consistently around 3.6. StorageThis probiotic is alive and should be kept at room temperature in a cool, shady place and NOT stored in a refrigerator. The bottle is best kept air tight and where necessary decanter the probiotic into smaller bottles to minimise the air gap above the liquid. And like any life-based organisms (including you!), keep it away from electromagnetic fields/ Results of trialsThis formulation has been trialed by others (about 30 volunteers for about 18 months) and the feedback includes: · Increased energy · Improved blood/biochemistry (including hormone levels measured in pathology report) · Improved digestion and assimilation of nutrients · Significant improvement in diseases, eg. Crohn’s disease · Less mucous buildup · Greater alertness and concentration · Improved varicose veins · Regularity of bowels, and less abdominal pains and bloating · Improvement in fungal ailments · Faster recovery from illness · Stability with cancer · Improved hair growth and colour
Some people who have toxic chemical conditions may experience a detoxification condition in the early stages, and this may include skin rashes, bad breath, nausea, diarrhoea, etc. However, these conditions will pass as the gut biology is rebalanced with the probiotic and toxins are eliminated. This detox process may take 4-6 days and sometimes weeks.

Bacteria and Water For information on the effects of bacteria on water, ie, as a surfactant due to the secretion of natural detergents, leading to much lower surface tension for water, see: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126903.800-groundbased-bacteria-may-be-making-it-rain.html
Notice the implications for the ‘energizing’ of water in the body by bacteria, thus allowing water to pass through cell membranes, etc. more easily, with the attendant improvement on health.
