• As stated in the summary, today, we are going to
  explore the role of probiotics in good gut
  health. It is important that we understand this
  so that we can promote our own health better.
  Probiotics are implicated in many bodily
  functions, so it is important that we take care
  of them. First, we need to understand what they
  are
•  
• what are probiotics?
• Probiotics are a type of microorganism you
  cant see them with your eye, but need a powerful
  microscope in order to see them properly. They
  can be bacterial, fungal, or a yeasty. They play
  some type of helpful role in the body (the role
  depends on the type of probiotic). This is why
  they have the prefix pro- they promote health.
  Its also why we call them friendly bacteria
  too

• how many probiotics do we carry?
• Some people freak out a lot at the thought that
  theyre swarming with bacteria, but swarming they
  are. Theres an estimated 500 different types of
  probiotic, and probably many more. In total, the
  average person has around 100 to 500 trillion
  bacteria living on their body.
•  
• What the heck? That seems like an awful lot, and
  we cant really see them with the naked eye,
  although we can see colonies in the form of
  crusts and within pus. However, we really do have
  that many bacteria, and collectively, they weigh
  a couple of pounds! It is all a bit crazy

• but, where are they all?
• Theyre found all over the body, but they are
  found in greater numbers in some areas. These are
  usually damp and moist areas, and they include
•  
• The nose
• The mouth
• Underneath of nails
• Under the armpit
• In the stomach and intestines
• Within the urinary tract
•  
• Clearly, this is not an exhaustive list, simply
  the places where probiotics are more commonly
  found in great numbers.
•

• why do people take them as a supplement?
• There are several things to consider in reference
  to this question. First, is why people buy
  Threelac and other supplements at all, given that
  we already have 300 trillion of them on our
  bodies? The reason for this is because we can
  actually lose probiotics through various means,
  such as diarrhoea, taking an antibiotic, not
  eating enough raw foods, and having bacterial
  infections. When this happens, we need to take a
  supplement such as Threelac.
•  
• The second consideration is the actual symptoms
  that people can tackle when they buy Threelac or
  eat raw foods. Illnesses and symptoms that may be
  solved by taking a probiotic include the
  following

6

• Diarrhoea caused by infections
• Digestive problems, such as IBS and Ulcerative
  Colitis (always talk to a doctor before taking a
  supplement)
• Thrush (both oral and genital)
• Eczema
• Foggy thinking and cognitive issues
• Flatulence
