Mother's Primal Protection

You should be, but you don’t have to be radically holistic to receive the most primal protection Mother Earth provides. I am talking about the most original and potentiating determinant of whether or not life exists on this Planet. I am talking about bacteria. Friendly Bacteria. Probiotics.

It is about time we take a closer look at the Bacterial Kingdom, with capitals. For a Kingdom it is, biologically speaking, and the ancient lineage, diversity and evolutionary power of its inhabitants deserve royal treatment rather than disgust.” This is a favourite quote of mine by a molecular biologist, Trudy Wassenaar, PhD, which could not have put better how I have felt about friendly bacteria for over a decade. In my twenties, I suffered from all kinds of infestations, called infections, and ’they treated my body as a mechanical device, with a fix–it pill to make me go away and come back to pay their bills next month. This is a completely accurate metaphor in this case! I truly believe my path was destined.

In 1997 I was in a Shopper’s Drug Mart in Calgary, attempting to fill yet another prescription for Diflucan, a drug used to control Candida Albicans. An angelic pharmacist told me my liver was in danger due to six runs of the drug that year, and she led me to the nutritional supplements aisle, where she handed me my very first bottle of friendly bacteria. It was an immune support product, so right then and there I put two and two together. I also took a homeopathic candida remedy at her suggestion, and I was, at that point, well on my way to health empowerment and total liberation! Longevity in my hands!

Why was this moment so impactful? Because, where there is Candida, there are also other nasty critters setting up a sabotage mission in the body of every human who does not have balanced inner ecology. This means we need clean digestion, with a proper colonization of friendly bacteria in the gut to handle anything that comes our way. We must have this primal defense working within us! Stomach acid is not enough, and everybody is on antacids anyway! This has got to change if we are ever going to feel good!

Welcome the love of bacteria into your life. Do not fear that which you can not see. I am a Spiritual Nutritionist, a Minister of Health, if you will, and I am telling you that if you consume and commune with your kingdom, consuming mass quantities of friendly bugs, you will only be blessed.

You won’t have to fear the acronymic-fad- designer-pandemic-viruses. You’re safe.

Namaste & Blessings.
