The Power of Probiotics

  Most people do not realize that we should have more healthy bacteria in our bodies than we have cells of our bodies. While some beneficial bacteria live in the upper digestive tract, the beneficial micro-flora mostly live in the large intestine where they manufacture certain nutrients such as Vitamin B 12 and Vitamin K. They also absorb nutrients the small intestines might have missed. From a protective standpoint, they block the absorption of toxins that our body wants to eliminate. Next, they help us recycle water and bile. By recycling water, we will have less dehydration. Since bile can be reused to emulsify fats and oils, the colon supports digestion. Finally, the bacteria assist in the decomposition of our digested food stuff, called chyme, into fecal material.

  When we have constipation, or irritable bowels, diarrhea, excess gas and bloating, we probably have bacteria that is putrefying in our gut. By using the Reflorastation Therapy, we can rectally introduce good bacteria and affect the intestinal environment in a beneficial way. Candida yeast overgrowth will be reduced with this treatment. Diverticulitis can be soothed. Colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and diarrhea can often been relieved with reflorastation. Digestion is assisted by healthy probiotics.

  At Home Colon Kits are available for the convenience and comfort of use. When these kits are kept in the refrigerator they have a life span of at least 18 months.

Case History:  A 35 year old healthy man (fireman by occupation) had suffered with daily loose bowel movements, excessive gas and bloating. Even though a gastroenterologist ran "every test possible" they were all inconclusive. It only showed inflammation and irritation in the large intestine. I administered one colonic with reflorastation therapy. He left with hopeful reservations about the possibility of a normalcy. Later, I received the following note: "It has been nearly three weeks since my procedure and I just wanted to drop a note to say I appreciate what you do! I have never felt so 'normal' in a long time. What you have done for me is given me back my life. I am not afraid to leave the house for extended periods of time. I can also enjoy my job a lot more now. I genuinely thank you.

In my book, You Gotta Have GUTS: The Natural Way to Enhance GI Health, chapter 6 "The Menagerie of Bacteria" is all about the value and healthy bacteria in our intestines. This is a must read. Check out amazon.com to order your copy.
