and recognized expert in intestinal bacterial flora states "The number of bacterial cells found in the intestinal tract outnumbers the human cells ten to one. He estimates there are five hundred strains of bacteria in the human intestinal tract. The good news Dr. Klaenbaner says, "Is the good bacteria outnumber the bad bacteria, good 80% -bad 20% in individuals experiencing good health. The bad news the ratio's can be reversed bad 80% - good 20% in patients experiencing intestinal disturbances." Dr Mark Pimentel assistant director of gastrointestinal motility program at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center reports that 78 % of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients in their study have overgrowth of bad bacteria in small intestine. This study suggests that (IBS), a chronic condition which plagues an estimated 20 % of adult population, may be caused by too much bad bacteria in small intestine.

The educator's from the Global College of Natural Medicine (G.C.N.M.) report that recent medical studies have estimated that 85% of the North American adult population is infected with at least one form of a parasite. Built up fecal material on the colon walls provides the ideal birthing ground for parasites. A GCNM course on Toxicity and Detoxification reveal that humans can play host to more than 100 different kinds of parasites. Parasites, which are organisms that feed, grow and live off a host, can be microscopic or can grow as large as several feet. Parasites are found mostly in the large intestine, but they try to permeate the intestinal wall and migrate to other parts of the body. The most common source of infections from parasites are under-cooked meats, unwashed fruits and vegetables, time spent in third-world countries, contaminated water and infection by mosquitoes. The most common occurring parasites in the United States are round worm, hookworm, pinworm and tapeworm. Parasites can devastate our health in the following ways:
1. They weaken the immune system.
2. They prevent the proper absorption of macro and micro nutrition of foods
eaten.
3. They cause inflammation, and irritation to all tissues.
4. They produce toxic waste which are absorbed into the blood system.
5. They perforate and damage the intestinal wall lining, as they try to work their way to other regions in the body.
6. They can cause intestinal and pancreatic bile duct obstruction.

What is the best offense to defend us from these invading mutants? A nutritional lifestyle that will naturally keep the intestinal
