Replenishing intestinal flora - Whence come the bacteria? (WAS: Probiotics)

[Guest guest]

Hi again Ron, and thank you!

 

Consider the following imaginary conversation snippet (and with apologies

in case someone happens to have the name " Vernon " ):

 

" Hey Vern, ah wuz wundrin', just how duz dem bak-teer-ay-ay nose wen tu sho

up? "

 

" Well, ah rekin ah don't rahtlee no. Dey just seemz tu sho up at just da

rayt tiim. "

 

Ron, all living organisms are opportunistic by nature, and bacteria stand at

the head of the class as the premier opportunists. If they recognize food

.... and if nothing blocks their access ... they'll come. And if the food

supply is ample, they'll be bacterial and multiply. In other words, bacteria

arrive and thrive entirely as a function of the terrain, the environment

(from their perspective).

 

Imagine an orange, sitting on the counter, obscured from your view. Now

imagine that orange two weeks from now (if the smell of mold growing doesn't

grab your attention sooner). How did the mold find the orange? And where did

all that mold come from, anyway?

 

In a " windless " room, air moves. Air and water always move, and living

organisms with motility (the ability to move themselves) move around within

the air and water. So from a human perspective, they " just show up " . In

fact, this is the whole point of Bechamps work 150+ years ago, the whole

problem with the so-called " germ theory " . Bacteria attack absolutely

nothing, ever. Instead, they just eat and run ... rather literally. They

feast upon dead matter, restoring that matter to forms useful throughout

Nature. Inside our gut, they transform what our conscious awareness calls

" food " into what our body, physiologically speaking, calls " food " .

 

My point? Create great terrain, the bacteria will take care of themselves

.... far better and far more quickly than anything the conscious awareness

could ever conjure for them.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Hello Elchanan,

 

It's good to hear from you! Thanks for the sane response, Buddy!

 

I am the impatient type, so I think I will buy a quart of the yogurt that

has 8 different kinds of bacteria in it and eat that over a week's time.

But I thought I need more than 8 kinds of bacteria. I thought there were

some 500+ kinds. Where do I get those? And how do those bacteria get past

the hydrochloric acid in my stomach to establish a colony in the intestine,

that's what I'd like to know?

 

I've also decided to stop drinking tap water, which contains flourine,

chlorine, and some other chemicals to treat the water against possible

germs. . . of course these poisons kill the bacteria in my intestines as

easily as they kill the bacteria in tap water, right?

 

And I'm quitting coffee, salt, spices, and animal protein, which collects

antibiotics and chemicals that the animal is fed.

 

Easy to say; more difficult to do! Today will be Day One. . . again.

 

Ron
