Healthy Bacteria/Bad Bacteria

Are some of these microbiota healthy for you? They are helpers and may assist in everything from food assimilation to the creation of T Cells for your immune system. Other bacteria, however, are not so helpful. In fact, they can be downright dangerous and often lead to all kinds of digestive and other health issues.

When it comes to gut health, the name of the game is to have sufficient quantities of the good bacteria in your gut at all times that outnumber the “bad.” That’s not to say that a little bit of the “bad” bacteria isn’t important as well. Having a small quantity of bad bacteria keeps the helpful bacteria, as well as your immune system in general, primed and ready to go.

Since our environment, lifestyle, and the foods we typically eat provide plenty of opportunities for harmful bacteria to flourish, our ongoing job is to keep that supply of good bacteria coming into (and thriving in) our gut. We do this by eating the right kinds of foods (and eliminating harmful ones), drinking plenty of filtered water for detoxifying, and getting the right kinds of supplements for our unique need.

Have you ever had a “gut feeling” about something? Well, it turns out you may want to pay attention to that feeling because researchers now consider the gut to be the “second brain” of the human body!

It turns out there are more than 100 million neurons in your intestinal system. Referred to as the “enteric nervous system,” this brain in the gut acts very similarly to the brain in the head. The gut can receive impulses, record experiences, and respond to emotions.
According to a study reported in GASTROENTEROLOGY, women fed probiotic rich food were much calmer. Very interesting.
I take a powerful wonderful probiotic supplement daily along with drinking probiotic rich delicious drinks like kombucha . Go to my website, docfizz.mysisel.com and look at Balanced D. As a physician, it's what I recommend.

Evidence to support Vit D administration for asthma patients. I pulled this from a recent medical study. Think about this, in my opinion, it's a no brainer. No adverse reactions to the treatment. So, that's important. Just as important, the study group had less asthma attacks, less need for their asthma meds. Plus, less emergency room visits!
Yes, my conclusion, if you have asthma, take Vit D! It will help you, it might save your life, and it will save you money!

Vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin," has been in the news quite a bit lately. It is, of course, an important component of the diet, but whether its deficiency affects asthma is an ongoing question.
In one meta-analysis of nine recent, high-class, placebo-controlled clinical studies, researchers explored whether adding vitamin D to the diet improved asthma outcomes. Over 1000 subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma, including children as well as adults, were prospectively observed for up to 1 year. The administration of vitamin D reduced the frequency of acute exacerbations, namely emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or the need to administer corticosteroids, by over 60%. However, lung function measurements did not change, nor were the Asthma Control Test™ scores of daily symptoms altered. The dosages of vitamin D administration varied among the trials, ranging from 400 to 4000 U/day (100-1000 µg); there were no instances of vitamin D toxicity

From a newsletter I received this morning via Dr.Sears.

"Throw away your glasses forever!” "Get 20/20 vision in just minutes!”
You may have seen these kinds of promises on billboards or heard them on the radio. They’re for LASIK surgery ads. And about 20 million people — 600,000 every year1 — have fallen for them. It’s easy to understand why…
Who doesn’t want to ditch their glasses? Or have perfect vision?
LASIK is used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. During the procedure, a doctor permanently changes the shape of your cornea with a laser.
This surgery is a goldmine for eye surgeons. The average cost is $4,000. And LASIK centers do extremely high volumes. Just one office can make more than $14 million a year.
That creates a huge incentive to do as many LASIK procedures as possible. As a result, many of these centers have turned to high-pressure sales tactics. They exaggerate the benefits and downplay the risks.
But here’s what they don’t tell you…
More than 60% of people who have LASIK say they still need their glasses. And one out of five say their vision is worse after LASIK.
And here’s where it gets really scary…
Nearly 20% are left with permanent eye injuries. They suffer with pain… dry eyes… double vision… distorted vision… and poor night vision, including seeing halos and glares.2
And a recent FDA study shows the number of people affected could be even higher. The LASIK Quality of Life Study3 found up to 46% of patients reported new visual symptoms they didn’t have before LASIK. Things like halos, starbursts and glare. Nearly 30% developed dry eyes. But one of the worst complications is a weakening of the cornea. Studies show once the cornea is cut, it doesn’t heal completely.4 Case reports show LASIK flaps can become dislocated by rubbing your eyes, playing sports or by a car airbag.
A weakened cornea can even allow the eyeball to bulge out. That can lead to blindness.
These complications can be so severe that patients can become depressed. There have even been reports of LASIK patients who’ve committed su***de because of their ruined vision.5 All because they wanted to see better.
When patients ask me my opinion about LASIK, I tell them the truth…
I wouldn’t let someone take a scalpel to my eyes. I'm 60, and I still have sharp vision and healthy eyes. And by getting the right nutrients in your diet, you can, too. Nutrients that nourish your eyes
1. Lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants protect your eyes from harmful light and help prevent cataracts. But these nutrients are not made by your body. You have to get them from your diet. Studies show that egg yolks have the highest percentage levels of lutein and zeaxanthin of any food.
Other lutein sources are mangoes, sweet potatoes and dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, collards and Swiss chard. Zeaxanthin is found in colorful fruits and vegetables like zucchini, squash and kiwi. But one of the best sources is the orange bell pepper.
You can also find supplements online and in health food stores that contain both lutein and zeaxanthin. Look for one with at least 20 mg of lutein and 1 mg of zeaxanthin.
2. CoQ10. High-energy organs like your eyes use lots of CoQ10. But CoQ10 levels in your retina fall 40% by the time you reach 80. That’s serious because CoQ10 protects the cells in your retina from all kinds of radiation damage, including too much exposure to the sun’s rays.
Studies show people who take CoQ10 recover faster from cataract surgery. It may also prevent blindness from macular degeneration.
The only good food source of CoQ10 is the organs of free-range cattle and wild game. So most people have to supplement. Take at least 50 to 100 mg of the ubiquinol form of CoQ10 daily. It’s eight times more powerful than the old form, ubiquinone.
3. Astaxanthin. Studies show this member of the carotenoid family increases blood flow and antioxidant protection throughout the eye. It has the power to cross the blood brain barrier. That means it can and soothe and protect the deepest parts of your eye, including the central retina.7
Astaxanthin helps relieve dry eyes, double vision and blurring and protects the eyes from light damage. In fact, people who take it report being able to see clearer and sharper.
Wild-caught sockeye salmon has the most astaxanthin of any food. Red trout, red seabream, lobster, shrimp, crawfish, crabs, lobster and salmon roe all have it, too.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD, CNS

Worried or anxious about staying healthy in today's world? Many of you are just like me. We go to the store thinking we will get the best we can afford, taking into account that we hope we chose the product with the least health damaging toxins.
30 years ago, when I graduated chiropractic college and started my practice, I never saw what was coming. Let's just take a look at one common toxic ingredient found in your food. Glyphosate. Is it on the label? Absolutely not! Why not? Monsanto and the other companies that make this chemical since the patent ran out really don't want you to know. So sometimes it's not what is on the label that is important, it's what is not listed on the label.
Let me explain. Glyphosate is a chemical found in common herbicides like RoundUp. For years Monsanto has spent a gazillion dollars teaching is, "Its Safe".
Well, it's not. It's been proven to cause cancer. If your food label listed it, would you buy that food? I hope not. So they don't list it. No one forces them to list it, but because it's everywhere, scientists now find glyphosate in nearly everyone of us. What else besides cancer?
Great question! Glyphosate was patented as a mineral chelator. What's that? A mineral chelator is a chemical that binds to minerals and is used to pull the minerals out of something, like a plant, or your body. What's wrong with that?
Well, we need minerals, trace essential minerals make up over 2000 biological processes taking place in your body. If we don't have them, you can't be healthy. Impossible!!
Let's take cobalt. We don't need much but we need some. Ever hear of cobalamine? Sure, Vit B12 . No cobalt, no Vit B12. Did you know there is an epidemic of Vit B12 deficiency disease in America, right now?
What else? It causes problems with amino acids. Oh, I hear we need to be alkaline anyhow. What's the big deal? Right. Amino acids make up important biological chemicals in your body like serotonin. Right, you take a SSRI DRUG like Prozac. So Prozac can't work and your brain can't work properly if you don't have enough serotonin. You can't have enough serotonin if you don't have enough tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid. Get it? We have a huge issue in America due to depression as well.
So. Cancer. Depression. Anxiety. Nerve issues from Vit B12 deficiency. Plus many other issues. All caused by one chemical in your food and they don't have to list it and won't.
How do you feel about that? How does that make you feel? If there were a way I could help you improve your health, would you want to know?

HOPE FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
MS is an autoimmune disease that damages nerve cells by impairing their ability to conduct signals.
Researchers were using mice with MS to determine whether vitamin D treatment could improve the nerve function. Amazingly they found that the vitamin D supplementation reversed the nerve cell damage. They also found that the supplement promoted the proliferation of neuronal stem cells which improve brain function and the ability to recover from MS.
This study indicates that vitamin D can directly contribute to alleviating conditions where adults stem cell functions are compromised.
In my clinic over 20 years ago I recommended Vit D3 supplementation to my patients based on this. It was just a theory back then, supported by the observation that my clients with MS seemed improved after flying south for the winter months. Sunshine activates Vit D.
A local neurologist told my client I did not know what I was talking about. No wonder St Lukes Meritcare was having trouble and had to be sold. I wonder if they are any better under the new name of Sanford Health.
Edison told us many years ago, "The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~"
