Medical experts are repeatedly reporting that staphylococcus, a common bacteria that causes infections, and enterococcus, a bacteria that frequently causes urinary tract or bladder infections, are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.
Penicillin is now nearly useless against staph … overuse of the drug has fuelled resistance, a process in which the rapidly evolving “bug” simply learns how to evade the drug’s fire-power. The Centers for Disease Control indicate that more costly and more powerful antibiotics are having to be used to “battle bugs”, and are expressing concern regarding the nightmare scenario … are we running out of options to treat infections?
In 2003, the American Journal of Gastroenterology published an entire supplemental issue dedicated to the use of probiotics in disease treatment. This journal, along with many other studies provide evidence of the health benefits of probiotics, some of which include: resistance to viral infections, prevention or treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, resistance to urinary tract and bladder infections, reduction of colon cancer, etc.
According to Frank Painter, Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine, probiotics appear to work through a variety of mechanisms, from decreasing pathogen adherence to the intestinal wall to stimulating the systemic immune response. They are safe, and an effective way to prevent virally-induced gastrointestinal infections.
Dr. Painter recommends Shaklee Optiflora to ALL of his patients, from infants to seniors.
