Lack of friendly bacteria in the gut can lead to an overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, and once that happens, all kinds of health problems can occur. In this video Dr. Angela Agrios, ND (A California Licensed Naturopathic Doctor) explains what Probiotics are and why we should take them on a regular basis. She discusses • Bio-K Plus Probiotics – very powerful brand of Probiotics at 50 billion CFUs which means Colony Forming Unit (www.biokplus.com) • Probiotic means “pro life” and they are friendly bacteria and yeasts (whereas antibiotic means “against life”) • We get our friendly bacteria at the moment in time we go through the vagina as we are being born • Probiotics compete for space in the intestines, pushing out the bad bacteria and fungi and thereby allow good bacteria to thrive • Antibiotics are used extensively in our meat supply, and we take a lot of antibiotics, and all those antibiotics reduces friendly Probiotics in our system • FOS stands for Fructooligosaccharides, and is used to feed the bacteria • Pearls Probiotics are designed to get through stomach acid at 1 billion CFU (http • Probiotics improve immune function, help slow down or stop gas, promote bowel regularity, and modulate immune function (especially from inflammation) • About 80% of the immune system lives in the gut and therefore its very important to …

@larrymultani Larry here. Probiotics, and lots of them. Switch to whole foods; no processed foods. And watch my IBS video: do a search on my channel, it is with Dr. Trebilcock, ND.
wat should i take if i have ibs?
@lejah1000 Yes, it is a probiotic. Probiotic means “friendly bacteria.” There are many strains, and acidophilus is one of the many strains. Take them with food.
@LarryCook333
thank you for your response. but i need to clarify something. is acidophilus a probotic? And how should i take it? With a meal or on an empty stomach!
@VALENNEA Probiotics should help, but, you may want to change your diet and use digestive enzymes as well.
hey,
thanks a lot for this wonderful video. Do you think that probiotics can help with acne. The reason why i ask is because i do have acne cystic acne but also vaginal issues and lots lots of intestinal issues. LIKE MY STOMACH OFTEN FEELS BLOATED AND MY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SEEMS A LITTLE BIT PERTIURBED. aRE ALL THES ISSUES RELATED/ And can i help it by taking acidophilus?
@strikkebil fermented foods have friendly bacteria. No, taking probiotics does not reduce friendly bacteria; it increases it.
if u start taking this wont the body stop producing them? shouldnt u just let the body work this out on its own. what are some foods that are good for probiotics?
@bdiamonds69 You can find them in health food stores. Get high potency, meaning, billions of organisms.
Which probiotics would you recommend because I had gastric bypass 7 years ago, and suffer from alot of gas I mean horrible at times.
@tfortwins660 If you make sauerkraut at home, you’ll be able to naturally get probiotics that way.
@magicadespell56 I see. I’m not really sure about that. It would be best to see a Medical Doctor who practices natural medicine; or to see a licensed Naturopathic Doctor. It’s important to be tested first to see where you are toxic and other issues before starting a protocol.
we are slightly misunderstood- i am 53 and have not had a seizure since i was 13yrs old- (i had my first seizure when i was 9)- 10 yrs ago at age 44 i was able to cute my meds in half- and VERY VERY Slowly WITH the dr knowledge continue to cut my doze- my question (my mistake should have been more clear) is what is good for detoxing my body after of yrs of anti seizure medicine..thankyou for the help- ps i do take krill oil- is suppose to be better than fish oil- i hope! x shelly
@magicadespell56 I talked with Angela and she recommends taking fish oil every day to help slow down the seizures.
@tfortwins660 You’re welcome.
Larry, thanks you for a quick reply..
@tfortwins660 I’m not exactly sure where they come from when they manufactured, but they are found in cultured (fermented) foods, like kim chi, sauerkraut, etc.
Hi, where or how do u make probiotics? Do we get them from other animals or plants? Thanks….
@magicadespell56 Thank you Shelly. I’m not the doctor in the video, but my best advice is to go see a Naturopathic Doctor, and investigate heavy metal detoxification. My research suggests that heavy metals, especially mercury, is indicated in seizures; so, getting those out of the body is a good idea. However, you really need to be properly tested and evaluated by a licensed medical professional who practices natural medicine. Taking Probiotics and eating only organic food is a great start!
i love these powerful minutes you share with your viewers such clear useful information- –i have a question- what if you have to take prescription medication- in my case for seizure controll- what is good for detoxing the system? x shelly
