For centuries physicians and herbalists from various traditional systems of medicine have been using herbs and natural healing modalities to assist patients suffering from microbial infections of various forms to restore normal functions of the body. Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, the over dependence and use of its derivatives by modern conventional medical systems, have caused these invading microorganisms to become more resilient and develop new defense mechanisms. Furthermore, the negative effects of these drugs on the human microbiome was not fully understood. The human microbiome plays an important role maintaining normal physiological functions within the body and protects healthy mucosal tissues from being prone to invading pathogenic microorganisms. Unhealthy tissues can become prone to infection by stronger invading opportunistic microorganisms which begin to develop biofilms. The biofilm is a community of microorganisms living symbiotically and shielded by a protective layer from the body’s own immune system. These factors have contributed to an increased rate of chronic infections and the development of the disease conditions associated with it.

The aim of this study is to research and evaluate the physiological effects of oleo-gum-resins frankincense and myrrh and their possible uses to assist the body’s innate ability in restoring normal functions and health to the body tissues infected by biofilm enclosed pathogenic organisms. Myrrh and Frankincense are oleo-gums-resins obtained from various species of the Commiphora tree and the Boswellia tree., historical records and archeological evidence indicate they have been used extensively in ancient Egypt as well as in biblical times, being two of the three gifts offered to the infant Jesus by the magi. The third gift was gold, emphasizing the esteem and value provided to these two herbs.

Today, scientists are studying with much interest, the human microbiome and the many health benefits of consuming probiotic rich fermented foods.

We often attribute probiotics with our gut, but our skin, lungs, urinary tract system, mouth, every part of the human body inhabits microorganisms living in harmony with their human host, providing vital functions essential for our survival.

In the modern world of disharmony, many humans are living in bodies that are in dysbiosis (an imbalance in the different types of microorganisms living in your body) and we as a species are losing a very old ally which has co-evolved with us for generations.

The good news is, there is always hope to restore balance and to assist our bodies to heal.

We can begin by understanding:

🌿 The Importance of traditional and whole foods (sustainably raised meat, wild fish, organic pasture raised eggs, organic fruits & vegetables and fermented foods).
🌿 The dangers of processed foods (especially within the deceptively marketed "healthy / keto / vegan" alternatives in the sad consumerist driven "natural" health food industry).
🌿 The benefits of traditional cooking methods (slow cooking, fermentation).
🌿 The importance of gut health (consume probiotic rich food daily: kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, Kvass).
🌿 The traditional techniques for maximizing nutrient bioavailability (sprouting, fermenting, soaking).

Why homemade probiotic rich fermented foods are equally as important, if not more so, to professional high-quality probiotic supplements:

🌿 The key to promoting a strong, diverse microbiome within our body, is to create an ideal environment "Terrain" for our friendly 'human strain' microorganisms to repopulate and regrow. This is why fermented probiotic rich food are so important for healing, not only are we consuming trillions of probiotics, but they bring with them the ideal environment (pH, lactic acids, prebiotics ...etc) where these friendly microorganisms have been growing during the fermentation process.
