AIM FloraFood®  Details

When unfriendly bacteria dominate, the effects include diarrhea, gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrients, as well as the pain and damage that result from pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.Digestive problems comprise the number one health problem in North America. These concerns, encompassing everything from hemorrhoids to colon cancer, result in more time lost—at work, school, and play—than any other health problem. They also appear to be occurring with much more frequency—while many of them were almost unheard of in our grandparents’ times—they are cropping up more and more, and at an earlier age.

One way to help maintain digestive health is to be aware of and “take care of ” our intestinal flora—the trillions of bacteria that make the digestive tract their home.

Intestinal flora

Bacteria thrive in our bodies. There are more bacteria in the digestive system than there are cells in the body—some one hundred trillion. Their total weight is about 4 lbs (1.8 kg)—the size of the liver.

Bacteria have both “friendly” and “unfriendly” populations.

When unfriendly bacteria dominate, the effects include diarrhea, gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrients, as well as the pain and damage that result from pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.

Dr. Michael Murray, N.D. states, “The intestinal flora is intimately involved in the host’s nutritional status and affects the immune system function, cholesterol metabolism, carcinogenesis, and aging.”i Our overall health is greatly effected by the balance of friendly and unfriendly bacteria in our digestive system.

Friendly bacteria (probiotics)

Probiotics is the term used to describe either the healthy bacteria that naturally occur in the gut or the nutrients that support these friendly bacteria.

Although the term probiotics is relatively new, the notion of improving health by supplementing the natural flora of the gut with additional bacteria ingested orally dates back to the 19th century.

What do friendly bacteria do for us?

Friendly bacteria do much more than counteract the unfriendly bacteria. They also provide us with other, powerful benefits.

Friendly bacteria

  • aid in the digestive process by helping digest lactose (milk sugar) and protein.
  • clean the intestinal tract, purify the colon, and promote regular bowel movements.
  • create lactic acid, which balances intestinal pH.
  • produce antibiotics and antifungals that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. In 1988, the U.S. Surgeon General’s report noted that “Normal microbial flora provide a passive mechanism to prevent infection.”
  • contribute to the destruction of molds, viruses, and parasites.
  • protect us from environmental toxins such as pesticides and pollutants, reduce toxic waste at the cellular level, and stimulate the repair mechanism of cells.
  • increase the number of immune system cells thereby enhancing immune response.
  • manufacture vitamins B6, B12, K, folic acid, and assorted amino acids.
  • help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • break down and rebuild hormones.
