Many antibiotics are no longer effective!
Once easily treated diseases have become incurable due to microbe resistance to antibiotics. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a global alert that the overuse of antibiotics around the globe has left human populations defenceless against deadly strains of disease germs.
Many new strains of germs have been found since the early discover of penecillin and can easily be transmitted through food, touch, and inhalation. A great many diseases are also transmitted through Sex.
It would seem the 21 st century needs an alternative to antibiotics.
Dr. David Heymann, Chief of Infectious Diseases of WHO, calls for increased awareness and education about a germ’s ability to mutate or change when confronted with antibiotic treatment. He warns against relying on the pharmaceutical industry to invent new drugs to replace the old ones. The World Health Organization chief says bad germs just get stronger by learning to survive the effects of drugs previously used to destroy them.
The internal environment of the human body is a delicate ecosystem. The intestinal tract for example is populated by billions and billions of 'friendly bacteria' that are essential to health. They keep the membranes lining our gut healthy, control the population of unhealthy germs, aid digestion and proper elimination and stimulate healthy immune function. Antibiotic therapy can indiscriminately destroy the friendly bacteria and disrupt the internal ecosystem with disastrous results. The word "antibiotic" literally means "against life". (anti=against and bios=life)
There are natural products, called probiotics, which do just the opposite. Probiotic means - for life. They replace the healthy bacteria in our digestive system, like acidophiuus andbifldus and promote overall good health. Dietary fiber itself also seems to have probiotic properties.
For the past 25 years, Founder of the Natren range of Probiotics - Natasha Trenev, has remained steadfast in her crusade of education in the field of friendly bacteria.
Probiotics are my life's work, and I consider this approach to be the most important healthcare concept of the 21st century. People don't realize how important beneficial bacteria are to human health and longevity. Antibiotics, stress, pollution and food contaminants destroy good bacteria (in our bodies) and make us vulnerable to infection and disease," explains Natasha. "As disease-causing agents continue to develop immunities to even the most powerful antibiotics, Probiotics will increasingly become the supplement of choice for ensuring health."
