"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to
discover new ways of thinking about them.”
Sir William Bragg
(1862-1942)
Pioneer British scientist in solid-state physics who was a
joint winner (with his son Sir Lawrence Bragg) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in
1915 for his research.
Probiotic means “for life” (as opposed to
antibiotic which means “anti life”). Probiotics are living microorganisms
(bacterial or yeast) which, upon ingestion in certain numbers, exert health
benefits beyond inherent basic nutrition. Probiotics may prevent some of the
following medical conditions: irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infection,
yeast infection, intestinal infection, allergy, asthma, recurrent ear and
bladder infection and more.
Inside each of us live vast numbers of
friendly bacteria without which we could not remain in good health. Before
looking at the amazing things they do, reflect on just how many of them we
house. There are several trillion friendly bacteria in each person (more than
all the cells in the body) divided among more than 400 species, most of them
inhabiting the digestive tract. If they were all placed together the total
weight of these "friendly" bacteria would come to nearly four pounds. In fact,
about a third of the fecal matter (water removed) which you pass consists of
dead or viable bacteria. These bacteria are not parasites. They do not just take
up residence and do nothing in return, but perform many important functions in
the body. We live in true symbiosis with them. As long as we provide them with a
reasonable diet and as long as they remain in good health, these bacteria
provide excellent service in return.
We do not get enough friendly
bacteria or multi-Vitamins in our diet, therefore, I take and recommend the
Homefirst Natural Multi-Vitamin with Probiotics for everybody-including men,
women and children of all ages, as well as pregnant and nursing mothers.
