Welcome back. In this module we'll talk about how probiotics used to treat. The objective of this module will be to examine the research on using probiotics to treat particular diseases and health conditions. In other words, can probiotics really be used to treat disease? The research says yes, let's look at some of them. intestinal infections leading to acute diarrhea are often caused by an overgrowth certain bacteria or fungi within the intestines, including eco ly pictured here.

Using probiotics to treat intestinal infections has been extensively researched by scientists from around the world, particularly among children in whom diarrhea can easily cause death. These studies have found probiotic species such as lack of bacillus bug Erica streptococcus thermophilus Macedon, silvus acidophilus the Phyto bacterium beside him like a vessel is quayside like the cells ran gnosis like vessels Fonterra, Saccharomyces boulardii being fantas be lactis nail ruder, I will speed up healing and resolve intestinal infections along with other symptoms. Discuss how oral bacteria such as streptococcus maintain streptococcus pyogenes mP ginger valus can overwhelm the mouth producing tooth decay and gum disease. These conditions are often systemized by ginger vitus teeth root infection jaw bone infections in general periodontal disease, s mutations was first isolated in 1924, but it wasn't linked to dental caries until the early 1960s. As mutations and other cavity forming bacteria consume sugars and carbohydrates from our foods and produce destructive acids, these acids interact with the calcium in our tooth enamel forming plaque.

It is this acid and plaque formation that create cavities as they erode enamel. If probiotic populations are maximized, they will deplete and manage the pathogenic bacteria populations. Oral probiotics such as El Ruda, rye, Elbrus, l. Sal, various L. gram gnosis and others have been shown in human clinical research to reduce dental caries and gum disease. Candida albicans is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract and other locations throughout the body. As we've discussed, complications arise when Candida populations have been allowed to grow beyond their normal levels. Reduce probiotic populations allow these fungi to grow beyond healthy levels infecting intestines, vagina, oral and sinus cavities and other regions.

Probiotic supplementation has proven to help return Candida back to its normal population levels as probiotics manage and control their colonies by secreting chemicals that limit their growth. For example, researchers from the Long Island us Medical Center study 33 patients with Volvo vaginal Candida infections. infection rates decreased by a third among patients consuming an eight ounce yogurt with acidophilus for six months. While many ear infections are viral, both viral and bacterial infections have been shown to respond to probiotic supplementation, ear infections have been successfully treated or reduced in clinical study using probiotics. In one study 60 children suffering from chronic ear infections who was scheduled for surgery for giving either a placebo nasal spray or a combination of probiotics for 10 days prior to surgery. Complete or significant clinical recovery occurred in seven of the 19 children treated with one of the probiotics and 13 of the 18 children treated with the other provide only one of the children recovered from the placebo group HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which leads to AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome have both been shown to be treated with probiotics.

In these conditions the immune system has become compromised after being overburdened by viral infection. The question we must ask is why there is a great disparity between the survival rates of HIV infected persons when HIV suffer may live for decades, while another may be diagnosed with AIDS and die within a year. The difference lies in the efficiency and strength of immune system how capable is the immune system and suppressing the virus? How well does the immune system interact with its various components to keep its defenses up. Probiotics are conscious living organisms they want to survive like any living being when their survival is threatened. They get serious they begin to devise strategies to increase their colonies chance of survival.

One way immune system strength is mentioned among the HIV patients is through the tunnel. testing a CD for cells, Nigerian researchers treated 24 HIV AIDS women patients with probiotic yogurt or placebo yoga, they found the probiotic yogurt group had increased or stable CD for cell counts in 11 of the 12 women following the three of the 12 in the placebo group ad stable CD for cell counts, the researcher stated that the steady quote suggests that perhaps a simple fermented food can provide some relief in the management of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, unquote. Many studies have shown that probiotics will reduce bacterial infections given those by antibiotic resistant bacteria. For example, gastroenterology hospital, researchers from the UK studied 90 patients admitted into its intensive care unit for sepsis, half were given a placebo and half were given a blend of probiotics. After one week of treatment, nose and throat testing showed the probiotic group had significantly lower insulin.

Students have infective bacteria compared to the placebo group. The probiotic group also had nearly half the infection rate. Numerous studies have found that probiotics can help skin infections especially those related to allergies. For example, Japanese medical scientists gave 15 children with a topic dermatitis either a probiotic supplement or a placebo. After a month the probiotic group had a significant improvement in their symptoms. Probiotics have been shown to treat infections that can lead to strep throat.

Researchers from New Zealand gave 2019 children and probiotic supplemented mouth breather two days or nine days at the beginning of the treatment of significant number of the children had higher levels of infective streptococcus pyogenes, which can lead to strep throat and necrotizing fasciitis. Following probiotic supplementation, the researchers found lower infective bacteria and increased levels of salad bars and salad bars and is an antibiotic substance produced by To caucus Allah various in natural inhabitant of the oral cavity that significantly inhibits streptococcus pyogenes. meningitis and pneumonia are often results of bacterial infections. Probiotics have been proven to help prevent these researchers from a medical school in Japan treated 58 patients with severe systemic inflammatory infections with either a placebo or a combination of two probiotic strains. Instances of systemic infections in the moment are significantly lower among the probiotic group compared to the placebo group. Provided it's even taking digestive Lee can we do some eliminate lung infections.

In a study from Switzerland researchers gave 219 human volunteers either a conventional yogurt or a combination of probiotic fortified yogurt every day for three weeks significant pathogenic bacteria were found in most of the volunteers nasal cavities at the beginning of this study the consumption of the probiotic enhanced yogurt led to a 19% reduction in pathogenic bacteria in the nasal cavity. Another study gave 58 children with respiratory issues either placebo or a combination of live probiotics. Total respiratory episodes in the probiotic group or half of those bet occurred among the placebo group. The probiotic combination also significantly reduced pneumonia and bronchitis among the children. The literature is full of studies documenting the use of probiotics for treating and clinically improving both irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. For example, French researchers gave probiotics or a placebo to 100 patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

Between the first and fourth weeks of treatment to provide group has significantly less abdominal pain than the placebo group. Scientists from Italy gave a probiotic or the IBS medication Rifaximin to 70 IBS patients for two months. The probiotic patients reported fewers symptoms and greater improvement than perfection and patients. In another study hospital researchers gave a probiotic or a placebo to 20 Crohn's disease patients with diarrhea flare ups. After 10 weeks the probiotic group had a significant reduction in bowel movement frequency compared with the control group. Most of us experience constipation sometimes, the slow movement of balance has been associated with a lack of fiber in the diet and diet rich in red meats.

Prebiotics from plant sources provide feed for probiotics along with fiber. Such meals best move through the digestive tract more easily as they're easily broken down by probiotics and their enzyme secretion. Many studies prove this. In one university hospital researchers gave probiotics or a placebo to 209 constipated nursing home residents. The probiotic group showed significantly increased bowel movement frequency compared to the placebo group
