Probiotic Therapy
Prolonged antibiotic therapy used in the treatment of Lyme disease often leads to fungal infection resulting from a disorder of the intestinal microflora. Lyme disease is unfortunately immunosuppressive disease which makes the fungal infections more dangerous. A milder form of ringworm can be easily confused with Lyme disease because the symptoms are somewhat similar. If not spotted in early stage it might lead to severe mycosis.
Also other various factors, such as stress or nutritional imbalance may disrupt the intestinal microflora. Microflora disorder also leads to other diseases such as various food intolerances and allergies, leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, gastro-intestinal bloating and constipation, recurrent infections or immune system dysfunctions.
Digestive system plays various roles in the body thanks to its close connections with the immune system and gut flora. They all create ecosystem whose balance is essential for keeping health in a good condition. Providing probiotics contributes to improvement in physiological and metabolic functions of gut flora and stimulation of body immunity.
Probiotics have different mechanisms of action, depending on the strain. They support the immune system, inactivate toxins produced by microorganisms and colonize the gastrointestinal tract which results in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora. Probiotics are often used together with a prebiotic to enhance the final effect.
However, you have to keep in mind that the probiotics are not the same.
To bring positive impact on our body, a probiotic needs to have the following features:
The probiotic’s effects is dependent on a type (strain) and its amount in a dose (1-40 billion).
Probiotics shall have capability to resist the conditions met during the passage through digestive system (gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, bile) and reach the small intestine and colon in a lively and numerous form to influence positively on a person who applies them.
To propagate in the body, the probiotic shall have capability to adherence to intestinal cuticle cells. This adherence is transitory and probiotics will be eliminated within few hours. They shall be taken regularly to make their favourable effects durable.
Depending on the type of disorder you need to use the appropriate strains of probiotic bacteria. Targeted probiotic therapy allows to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
The PiLeJe Laboratory has developed a whole range of special products in the scope of microbiota. There have been numerous tests performed for 20 years, on the basis which strains have been selected (the strains are deposited in the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Micro-organismes - National Collection of Microorganisms Cultures in the Pasteur Institute in Lile, France), according to the described features and needs. There have been also various ingredients of plant origin, in terms of their rich content in fibre.
