A healthy colon teems with beneficial microorganisms that contribute to the healthy digestion and absorption of food. However, years of poor diet, reliance on medications, stress, and other factors can throw the intestinal ecology severely out of balance, causing a variety of digestive issues and the root cause of many illnesses. Patients complain about a variety of health problems ranging from fatigue, depression, impaired immune function, and obesity to chronic constipation, gas, acne, and lower back pain. The vast majority of these complaints and symptoms are alleviated by healing and supporting the intestinal system.”
Indeed, many illnesses arise from problems in the intestines, including gastritis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, diverticulitis, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids. Most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients that happens in the body occurs along the passageway that comprises the small and large intestines. Keeping this passageway clean and alive with healthy digestive microbes is vital to maintaining overall health.
