Few people realize how much havoc they wreak on their digestive systems when they consume the typical American diet of pizza, French fries, Whoppers, and chicken nuggets.  They don’t know that a major side effect of this “normal” American diet may be a “toxic colon” with pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and other intestinal disorders.

A toxic colon can lead to toxic blood and a toxic biological environment for the rest of the body and brain. This toxic buildup may also lead to heart and liver disease, inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, and free radical damage. Health researchers who have studied the GI tract have discovered that our quality of life is directly proportional to the health of our colons. They believe that the proper ratio should be 85% good bacteria to only 15% bad bacteria.  

The word probiotic means for life, as opposed to antibiotics which means against life.  Probiotics promote the growth of friendly bacteria in our bodies and a proper balance of “good “(friendly) bacteria with “bad” (harmful) bacteria is essential to maintain healthy digestion and elimination. If the normal bacteria become depleted or unbalanced, then the harmful bacteria can overgrow and cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. Yogurt has been the traditional source for beneficial bacteria, as well as sour cream, miso (fermented soy), sauerkraut, etc. Prescript-Assist, a leading probiotic dietary supplement, is a wonderful source for probiotics because of its unique blend of 30 nutrient rich soil-based microorganisms and Leonardite prebiotic.   Read more about Prescript-Assist Probiotic.
