There are no 'good bugs' and 'bad bugs'. Every

whenever man successfully kills off most of the 'bad'
bugs, or animals, or plants (what we call 'weeds'),
disaster usually ensues, as Nature tries to balance
out man's meddling.
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. Every one of us has
bugs such as the Polio virus in us, yet we don't have
Polio. If we could successfully rid our body of all
'bad' bugs, we would die.
Again this is absolute hogwash. 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. Without this antago-
nistic balance of actions of these two hormones we would die.
Harmony, not exclusion. Our bodies are
not at war with Nature, valiantly trying to protect
against all the hostile forces we are surrounded by
(except what man has created). Primitive peoples have
for centuries hung up meat to 'cure' (in today's
lingo, spoil), which certainly allowed the 'bugs' in
the meat to go bonkers. By today's wisdom, those folks
should have all died.
Not at all. 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. The goal is not to keep 'bad
bugs' out, the goal is to be healthy. Dr. Carey Reams
once said, "If your chemistry was balanced, and your
body was healthy, you could live in a village where
the people were dropping like flies from the Bubonic
Plague, and it wouldn't touch you."
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). Caroline Myss stated that, if
we were clear on these levels (spirit, emotions,
relationships), we could live on dog food and stay
healthy. (Actually, dog food is sometimes healthier
than much human food!)
Depends on the dog food. Old Roy would likely kill you where
a food like Solid Gold might well be better than most
commercial food.
But the point is that the 'good bug', 'bad bug'
conception of nature/health keeps us constantly at war
with our surroundings.
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). When my immune system is at its best, it
keeps my body in balance with all other organisms that
might grow out of proportion within me.
My health rant for the day.
Indeed!
