Microorganisms: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

An effective detox must start with the digestive system—the gut, colon and the intestines.

Did you know that our colon and intestines are about thirty feet long? That’s a lot of space for bacteria, parasites, yeast, and mold to hide out, and they’re all there, leaking toxins into your system, impairing your immune functions and causing your body and brain to do all sorts of weird things.

The human body is a host to wide range of microorganisms. Some are beneficial while others are harmful. Maintaining a proper balance among these microorganisms is one of the keys to good health. Candida albicans is the scientific name given to the parasitic fungus that lives inside our colon and intestines. Sounds gross, right? Well, candida can be gross and we need to keep its presence in our guts at optimal levels.
