It’s not true that you can’t heal from cancer – I don’t believe that the only road to healing is chemo…<\/span><\/p>\n

That said:<\/span>“We have a disease management crisis in America – not a health care crisis. Healing doesn’t involve permission.” –<\/b>RoBert Scott Bell<\/b><\/p>\n

Germs are not the cause of disease. They are the result of dis-ease. You know, these things have nothing to do with the blog I’m about to write…but at the same time, they kind of <\/span>do<\/span><\/i> have something to do with the blog I’m about to write. Especially the last one – germs are the result of disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

These quotes are an important food for thought – as important as bacteria is for your gut! If you have a strong immune system, you shouldn’t need bacterial washes in order to protect your health, and too much antibacterial is actually NOT healthy either. And I don’t just mean because of the chemical load you’re constantly battering your body with!<\/span><\/p>\n

In these blogs that I’ve been writing, I’m trying to teach you how to build your immune system. It’s not easy work – but it’s pleasant and very rewarding. How do I know this? Because I had to dig myself out of the hole. I’m just like you. I was where you are. And I was able to do it. And I’m no one special.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know anytime you drink a cup of coffee, drink alcohol, or take an aspirin or any prescribed over the counter medication – including antibiotics – you’re killing both good and bad bacteria. Even if the intent of medication is not to kill bacteria at all, it just naturally does this because the good, helpful bacteria is more sensitive to changes in its environment than the bad or harmful bacteria. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah I know, nature isn’t fair!<\/b><\/p>\n

So if you think of the daily things that you do to your body to kill off the bacteria, (the above-mentioned coffee alcohol, aspirin, etc.) then think of the daily things that you do to put bacteria back into your body.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll give you a second to think about that…<\/span><\/p>\n

I would almost bet house that 95% of the time you’re going to find out that you have a very unbalanced scale.<\/span>So why is it important that you tip the scales back in the favor of putting in good bacteria?<\/span><\/p>\n

Probiotics and prebiotics are probably one of the most important things in your arsenal against disease. When your food goes from your stomach into your small intestine and then into your large intestine, different kinds of bacteria take over to break down and assimilate nutrients from the food\/digestive waste into your system. Without the ability to do this, you can’t get any nutrition out of your food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your probiotic bacteria is just that important. If you’re not “nutritioning” your body, the body breaks down and becomes deceased. So simple but so hard. We forget to help our bodies. We forget our daily probiotics.<\/span>Or yeah – you eat a factory produced one in a factory produced yogurt. You know in your gut, it’s not enough.<\/span>So don’t worry about overdosing on probiotics – I take 4 different sources of probiotics a day. So think about that the next time you have your coffee – you need to replace your probiotics.<\/span>A prebiotic is basically what probiotics feed on. You should be eating raw, healthy, unprocessed food anyway, so don’t stress about trying to find pre-biotics. Just stress about finding great foods. These mostly consist of greens and sprouted grains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the great ways to get probiotics are:<\/b><\/p>\n
