The colloqialism "bad bugs" refers to the pathogenic microbes that indeed are harmful to man. > > Candida is a 'good' bug in our colon, but a 'bad' bug > in our blood stream. The same with e-Coli. Absolutely incorrect!! Candida is not a good bug in the colon. Where in the world did you ever get this information. It is called a commensal of man, which is a pathogenic organsim that often exists in small numbers which are not enough to be harmful, except when their numbers grow to a significant level. Candida in the gut has no function other than it is there as an opprotunist ready to move in to the gut wall if there is a die off of the beneficial organisms that normally occupy the gut wall. > > The body doesn't strive to keep out bad bugs, it > merely tries to maintain balance.

Where do you come up with these ideas? In thirty years of alt health care and medical research I have never heard anyone but you say this??? > Nature is about symbiosis, > not antagonism. There are many antagonists in our bodies. Checks and balances Glucagon antagonizes insulin for instance.

The reason they did not die is that when they slaughtered and dressed the carcass they knew not to contaminate the meat with bacteria from the colon, E. coli. Modern day slaughter methods do not take this kind of care and allow the contents of the colon to get on the meat. > > Louis Pasteur was wrong.

Again this is absurd. The Bubonic plague killed a majority of the population of Europe, many healthy well to do people among them. For instance Michele de Nostradame lost his wife and child, who enjoyed a healthy life style thanks to his knowledge of herbs and preventative medicine. It was not enough to save them. It takes very few plague organsims because they are extremely virulent. > > Achieving and maintaining such a level of health > includes more than merely nutrition or good food, it > includes harmony with the universe in the areas of > spirit and emotions and relationships (hence the value > of such things as EFT).

We live in a polarity universe. Of course there is good and bad, night and day, light and dark. We are not at war with our surroundings we are also polarized beings, it is the progression between the polarities that is repnosible for all movement. Without what you refer to as a war, there would be stasis. > I use CS primarily to > strengthen and bolster my immune system, not to attack > 'bad bugs' that are attacking from all sides (inside > and out).
