Right up
there with fears of public speaking, death and snakes is the
fear of bacteria.
Because
since the discovery of antibiotics in 1928, "war" has been waged
against theses miniature monsters that are capable of wreaking havoc of
colossal proportions with your health.
But has
victory been achieved on the battlefield?
Well,
not really.
Here's
why not:
Destroy the enemy
Over the
last 50 years or so, we as a society have become increasingly
confrontational when it comes to bacteria.
Now,
it's not like we haven't had valid concerns.
Bacteria
are responsible for many a health woe, including bronchitis, pneumonia, ear
infections, bladder and vaginal infections, gastroenteritis (stomach bug),
ulcers, C-diff and meningitis, and can even result in life-threatening
sepsis.
In
addition to antibiotics, our arsenal has been expanded to include
antibacterial soaps, lotions, skin wipes, hand sanitizer, spray deodorizers
and detergents.
But
in our fight to destroy the evil microscopic enemy, we've failed to focus
on two very important things:
1- Enemy intelligence and
2- Homeland security
Read
on...
Survival of the deadliest
Although
we've killed off many weaker strains of bacteria with our antibiotics and
antibacterial-everything, what's happened is that we've left untouched the
MOST dangerous, deadly bacterial strains -- many of which have grown more
and more resistant to stronger and stronger medications.
At the
same time, between our antibiotic use and our modern diets of fast food,
processed food, soda and refined carbs, we've basically obliterated our
internal army--otherwise known as our friendly flora.
That
means it's only a matter of time before the enemy marches in
victoriously...
...And
you get very, very sick.
Chronic infections and then
some
The
first-level symptoms of this harmful bacterial "victory" comes
out as chronic infections. Hmmmm...hospital admittances for infections are
at an all time high. (Odd, isn't it, with all the antibiotics and
antibacterial stuff we use?)
But
that's just the beginning, my friend.
You see,
70-80% of your immune system happens to reside in your gut flora, so if you
are like so many other people today, you are without its full protection
against diseases like cancer, and may be more vulnerable to
"mixed-up" immune responses otherwise known as autoimmune
diseases.
In
addition, without your friendly flora's protection of your gut wall, your
intestines can become too porous (known as leaky gut).
When
your gut is leaky, harmful toxins and bacteria can seep out into your
bloodstream and encourage the development of chronic inflammation just
about anywhere in your body.
Inflammation
can manifest itself as conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, asthma,
allergies, migraines and atherosclerosis--certainly nothing to take
lightly.
Got
any of these? If so, your gut is probably leaky.
Let's rethink our strategy
The
promising news here is that experts are starting to take note and rethink
the typical battle strategy against bacteria.
For
example, Susan Lynch, an associate professor of medicine in the division
of gastroenterology at the University of California San Francisco
recently conducted a study showing that people with chronic sinus
infections had less diversity in their friendly bacterial
"communities" than healthy people.
Dr.
Lynch also stated that, "Over time, this (bacterial war) results in
highly unstable communities that are perhaps more vulnerable to infection
or chronic inflammation."
Promoting
"bacterial diversity" may therefore be a better way to fight
disease than (merely) prescribing antibiotics that blast both the good and
bad bacteria, she said.
Bingo!
The new (smarter) battle
plan against infection
While it
can be helpful to avoid exposure to bacteria, and certainly to use
antibiotics ONLY when absolutely necessary (garlic is usually more
effective), arguably even more important is to keep your population of
friendly flora both strong AND "diverse."
You see,
the stronger your internal army, the more effective it is at overcoming
whatever harmful bacteria may invade your territory.
Plus,
since different types of beneficial bacteria have their own unique "specialty"
in how they fight the bad guys, the more diverse your "soldiers"
are, the better protected YOU are.
Here are two very effective ways to make sure your army is
strong and effective:
Army recruitment strategy #1
- Supplementation
A
medical-grade multi-strain
probiotic formula like Super Shield
can help beef up your population of beneficial bacteria in these three
different ways:
1. Selective nutrition
Super
Shield contains FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) which are a fiber that is
nourishment for friendly (probiotic) bacteria, but cannot be digested by
harmful bacteria.
2. Smarter antibiotics
Many
probiotic bacteria produce their own "natural" antibiotics.
Now,
these are NOT the typical antibiotics you're used to--they inhibit the
growth of, and can actually kill, many harmful bacteria, while leaving the
good guys untouched.
Also, as
probiotics digest their food, their metabolic by-products can have negative
effects on harmful competitors.
For
example, when probiotics digest fiber, they release acids that are like
vinegar. And yeasts (like Candida) don't grow well in the presence of these
acids.
3. Line 'em up!
In
addition to probiotics killing harmful bacteria, after they do, the
probiotic bacteria in Super Shield
march onto the spaces along your intestinal wall formerly occupied by bad
bacteria.
If
bacteria aren't snugly attached to your intestinal wall, they can get swept
away by peristalsis (the muscle contractions during digestion that move
your wastes along).
So the
more probiotics you can get to occupy your intestinal wall, the greater the
chance of harmful bacteria getting swept away when you have a bowel
movement.

Super Shield and all the ways it can help you here.
Army recruitment strategy #2
- Eat the right stuff
Probiotic
supplements are great, but too often they're not enough.
Because
you can undo their victories in a SNAP with the wrong foods.
You see,
whatever you eat, your gut microbes eat too. But different types of
bacteria have different food preferences.
Depending
on your food choices, certain bacteria will feast while others go hungry.
So your diet is a HUGE factor in controlling the microflora balance in your
intestines and thus your immune system.
Harmful bacteria LOVE processed food,
fast food and sugar. They gorge and multiply like rabbits,
while your beneficial bacteria (that are nourished by real foods like
vegetables and whole grains) starve and die.
So to help keep your beneficial gut
bacteria fed and happy, it's crucial to follow my advice in the Great Taste No Pain system.
Great
Taste No Pain is not a diet--it is an eating lifestyle that stresses real
foods (that your friendly flora loves) and shows you how to combine your
foods for efficient digestion (so you nourish your flora AND say goodbye to
gas, bloating, constipation, etc.).
And Great Taste No Pain
delivers on the "Great Taste" promise. All of the dishes in
the recipe book are delicious so your tongue will be happy too!
Bacteria
are an ever-present health-wrecking enemy that is not going to retreat
anytime soon.
But if
you focus on not only fighting the enemy but keeping YOUR internal army of
probiotic bacteria strong, you are FAR less likely to suffer the
consequences of harmful bacteria...
Or if
you do happen to get sick, you'll be more likely to bounce back MUCH
faster!
To your
health,

PPS: Lisa bounced back from a serious appendix-related
intestinal infection!
Sherry,
After my appendix ruptured 10 years ago, (slow leak) the
doctors actually had to remove over 2 feet of my intestine to get rid of
the infection.
Because of that I had all kinds of intestinal/bowel issues for
years.
Two years ago I started using Super Shield, and it took about a year, but I
have had amazing results with this and your Great Taste No Pain Eating
Plan which I ordered about a year ago.
I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this
product! It's wonderful!
Lisa
