The Need for Probiotics

The word “probiotic” is a modern term which means just the opposite of “antibiotic” or “anti-microbial”, which mean toxic or death. Anti-Microbial represents the typical, failed philosophy of modern science, being that, if you “kill disease“, health will remain. This philosophy fails to understand that, when you are diseased, health is gone, and even if the disease is “killed”, the cause of the disease would still be present.

At one time, because of nutrient-rich soil, clean water, organic fertilizers, abundant, beneficial insects and micro-flora, it was possible to consume the now defunct “healthy diet“, and be able to maintain, quite naturally, healthy, balanced intestinal flora.

No one has ever lived in a perfect world, but it has never been more imperfect than it is now. Soil depletion, insecticide-herbicide-chemically fertilized farms, cooked, processed, chemical-laden foods, anti-microbial soaps, antiseptics, the overuse of antibiotics, irradiation, chlorinated drinking water, widespread use of birth control pills, immunosuppressant drugs, chemotherapy and much more all conspire to destroy what we may call “the body ecology”.

Harvey Wiley, once head of the American Bureau of Chemistry (now known as the Food and Drug Administration), was a strong proponent of good triumphing over evil in the American food industry, but his ouster by the food and drug cartels spelled ultimate freedom for pharmaceutical and food “lords” to flood our markets with what has been referred to as “plastic” food.

We have come to the point where packaged mixes and dinners, fast served, processed foods, sugar-laden drinks, and even vitamins and supplements are the things people call “food”.

Wiley feared, with good reason, the future of mankind who, having to sustain itself on the commercially proffered “food” would fall prey to illness, weakness and disease. He knew that the food we consume becomes a “substrate” material that is acted upon by the microbiological cultures present in your system, and that the quality of the food you consume has everything to do with the survival of a healthy microbiology.

Eating “junk food“, America’s favorite diet, supplies substrates that lead to disease-creating microbiology! When processed, incomplete foods are consumed regularly, the microbiology dissolves and adjusts downward to the level and quality of the available material. Unfortunately, as modern agricultural methods continue to use chemistry on an ever-increasing basis, the food which is produced will continue to become less of a substrate for healthy microbiology.
