Doctors Recognize Probiotics Benefits

Doctors Now Know What Your Great-Grandma Knew All Along

The following discussion touches on the gradual evolution of the mainstream medical establishment (Big Medicine) of the recognition of probiotics benefits for a healthy gut.  Which is to say – healthy digestive and immune systems.  It’s something the naturopaths have known for a long time, as did your great-grandmother.  As a society, we’ve lost sight of what our ancestors knew about diet and health and have been duped into subsisting on a diet of laboratory concocted food-like substances.  hence, the pandemic of disease in this country.  Other idustrialized nations are not subjected to the “western Industrialized Diet” to the extent we are and it shows in their collective general health.

Doctors Recognize Probiotics Benefits

It is only in recent years that the mainstream medical (that is to say the AMA) are recognizing the benefits of probiotics supplements. Until recently (and at some level, even now), probiotics are misunderstood – at times dismissed as a farce.  Medical doctors are not trained all that much in the field of nutrition.  They are trained to diagnose and prescribe medication.  There are some well respected, high profile doctors now recommending probiotics for a growing list of maladies.    Other medical professionals are now following the lead of the more progressive among them.

Many documented cases of patients ailing with digestive disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis and some other conditions that have been known to improve with the addition of probiotics in the diet over time. Some patients show an improvement quickly while others take more time.  Some recover fully and others have reported varying degrees of symptom relief.

There is no magic bullet when it comes to digestive disorders which often are difficult to diagnose accurately and treat.  In some cases, patients have suffered for years. Taking probiotics is a “can’t hurt, might help” thing.  It is highly recommended that probiotics be included in one’s regular diet as a preventive measure.

Your grandmother (or, great-grandmother, depending upon your age) always knew better.  Over the past 35 years, or so, with the ‘Big Food’ companies serving up the American industrialized diet -we, as a society have all suffered as we lost sight of the diet steeped in tradition that began fading away in the beginning of the 20th Century.  Our diet, especially over the past 35 years has consisted of too much highly processed food-like substances and not nearly as much fresh fruit and vegetables, as an example.

Another big reason doctors have recently recognized probiotics is because stress and poor diet do their part in causing digestive problems as we get older. The best way to go about restoring your digestive health as we age is to supplement our diets with a quality probiotic.

While some are attempting to repair damage caused by bad diet, others are in a preventive mode of thinking.  With use of a good whole food multi containing probiotics, many digestive ailments and the common complications associated with them may never be an issue.

As time wears on, it is very likely that probiotics benefits will be something we hear more and more about – especially as the medical community continues to recognize their benefits and recommend their use for a growing list of conditions.   Buy probiotics and use them -see for yourself.
