Probiotics

Unfortunately, due to overuse of antibiotics, which indiscriminately kill good and bad bacteria, the sensitive bacterial intestinal balance has been disturbed over the last fifty years. It resulted in more intensive development of other harmful microorganisms such as diploid fungus, a kind of yeast (Candida albicans) and mutated forms. In addition to excessive use of antibiotics, good bacterial flora is disturbed by unhealthy diet, stress, toxic chemicals from the environment: chlorine and fluor added to water kill our most useful bacteria. Lack of useful bacteria will provoke different disorders such as food allergies, diarrhoea and other diseases of the intestines as well as lactose intolerance. The role of useful bacteria is crucial in all therapies against intestinal disorders, diarrhoea and constipation, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, irritated bowel syndrome, stomach disorders – catarrh, ulcer, Helicobacter pylori, lactose intolerance, intestinal and vaginal candidiasis, yeast infections of mucous membrane and skin, psoriasis, various urogenital disorders – inflammations of the bladder, prostate, vagina and urogenital infections - Escherichia coli. Useful bacteria reduce various intestinal infections, prevent food poisoning, contribute to lowering of cholesterol levels in blood, help in digestion of lactose, protect liver and large intestine from various tumour diseases, enhance the activity of immune system, produce numerous B-complex vitamins, reduce ammonia levels in blood. Taking of high-quality probiotic supplements, which is just another name for useful bacteria, is recommended. Actually, all people and not just those with digestive system disorders should regularly and at least twice a year undergo a three-week regeneration course of positive intestinal flora by taking probiotic supplements. It is not only one of the best methods for fighting disease but absorption and utilization of usually taken vitamins and minerals will improve. Harmful bacteria in the digestive system produce numerous toxic substances, which in higher concentrations can cause brain and nerve damage. Hyperactivity in children can also be a consequence of toxins from intestines. In treatment of joints, useful bacteria are an important ingredient in therapy (rheumatic diseases are related to gastrointestinal disorders). One should not forget that the main point for production of free unstable radicals, which damage the tissue and worsen the condition of almost all modern diseases, is the large intestine, where they are produced by harmful bacteria. Useful bacteria strengthen our antioxydative protection. Their use is crucial in case of diarrhoea or constipation and also if under therapy by broad spectrum antibiotics.
