Bacterial Toxins VS Your Health
Since bacterial toxins are the cause of so much of what ails many of us, the naturopathic doctor believes that ridding the system of "unfriendly" bacteria and replacing it with "friendly" bacteria, is one of the most important steps we can take to re-claiming our health. These toxins can be the root of many allergies, diarrhea problems, and poor immune systems.
Adding beneficial bacteria (also known as probiotics - like Lactobacillius acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum) will improve the intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote better digestion & increase resistance to illness. These supplements can be found at health food stores and are easy to take and can be tasty to boot!

Not only is unfriendly gut bacteria harmful (Rheumatoid arthritis, allergies and other Auto-immune diseases) our relationship with friendly bacteria is actually synbiotic. they may very well produce protiens that enhance our immune system and offer protection against cancers. A recent study has shown that patients taking more anti-biotics are actually at increased risk for cancers. Possibly by killing our healthy protective gut bacteria.
