RE: Antibacterial activity of vegetables and juices

[Guest guest]

I do not know how the test was run but leafy greens help bacteria grow (the

good type) that holds the " bad " type in control. The " bad " type prefer

cooked foods with carbs in them.

 

I actually give my raw fed dogs a fermented salad with probiotics and

digestive enzymes to break down the cellulose and starches (dog do not

digest them well and it should be a crime to feed grains to cats, as

attested by the volumous stinky poop of kibble fed dogs and cats)

 

The fermented pulped salad is made (mostly with leafy greens) adding

probiotics (human grade and non dairy) to establish the good bacteria in the

intestines. The human grade digestive enzymes are also added (need one with

cellulase and amylase at least) are added to the pulped salad and keep the

mix at BODY temperature for at least 15 minutes before feeding. Wait at

least 2 hours after this salad mix before feeding for the best results.

 

This salad helps diarrhea problems as well as constipation, boost the immune

system and gives extra b vitamins to boot )))) It helps to repair the

intestines by establishing good bacteria that prefers raw food and leafy

greens.

Antibacterial activity of

vegetables and juices

5. Summary

Among all plant juices tested, green vegetables showed little antibacterial

activity, whereas red vegetables and fruit juices had mild activity. Garlic

and tea had the highest antibacterial activity against a spectrum of

pathogens including methicillin- and ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus,

vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and ciprofloxacin-resistant P. aeruginosa.
