Bacteria in your colon are referred to by many different names – probiotics, good or bad bacteria, beneficial bacteria, acidophilus, disbiosis, micro flora, proflora. friendly flora, and unfriendly bacteria.I simple use good and bad to refer to all the that exist in the small intestine and your colon.Your colon has both good and bad bacteria. The good maintain the health of your colon by keeping the bad from multiplying and reducing constipation.Most people have bad as the dominant condition in their colon. You can see this by the illnesses that exist throughout the world. Most people later in their life suffer from diseases that resulted from colon neglect and abuse.Bad multiples when you,* Consume poisons such as pollution, pesticides, food additives such as preservatives, coloring, so on.* Drink alcohol* Eat processed foods* Have excess anxiety* Lack fiber in your diet* Use birth control pills* Use drugstore laxative* Use drugs and medicationGood in your colon consists of hundred of species of bacteria.

The good are most active in a pH of 5.9 to 6.9- an acidic environment. This makes for a healthy colon.Your colon serves as a home for the good bacteria, which ferment specific carbohydrates, which in turn keep your colon environment slightly acidic. The acid environment favors the good and keeps the bad and pathogens from multiplying.The bad create an alkaline environment and are most active in a pH of 7.1 to 7.9Again, the good creates an acidic environment and are most active in a pH of 5.9 to 6.9Acidophilus and Bifidus are the main good that exist in your colon. The ascending colon, on the right side of your abdomen area, has the most bacteria. The quantity of becomes less in the transverse colon and lesser in the descending colon.

Eventually, little is found in the sigmoid and rectum.When good beneficial is dominant, in your colon, it prevents the spread of disease from various organisms – parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi. The specific organismsShigella, salmonella, viruses, encephalitis, protozoan, amebas, staph, herpes, flu, cold viruses, comphylobacter, and CMV,are the ones that creates killer diseases such as dysentery, blood poisoning, meningitis, pneumonia, influenza and encephalitisThe good keep these organisms in the minority, thus preventing them from multiplying, getting into the blood, and into the different body organs. They do this by their antibiotic like secretions, lactic acid production, and other secretions, which keep their environment acidic.The good live and thrive on carbohydrates. When your body has good digestion and little carbohydrates reach your colon, the good population decreases and the bad become dominant.Good need to be fed to keep it dominant in your colon. If there are any good left in your colon, then by feeding them, you can get them to multiply.

If there are not any good in your colon, then you cannot reestablish the good by eating specific carbohydrate foods. To reestablish good bacteria, under this condition, you must do a flora enema.In his book, Acidophilus and Colon Health, 1999, David Webster, also says,"Indicators of a healthy colon flora are a soft but well-formed stool, with amber color and little or no odor, and that floats in water most of the time. When the stools are dry, dark brown, too solidly formed or too loose, and especially if there is a putrid odor, these are clear indicators of a putrefactive, alkaline-producing colon flora. Chronic constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome are often eliminated when your colon is restored and maintained at a slightly acid pH."In his research, Webster found that feeding the remaining good edible lactose whey rejuvenates the good in your colon. By drinking 2 – 5 tablespoons or more each day in a cup of distilled water enough lactose can reach your colon to feed the good bacteria.

Webster recommends doing this for 30 days. After this period you can check your stools to see if you have reactivated you good has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.
