NOTES: Russian scientist and Nobel Prize winner, Ilya Metchnikoff (one of the founders of modern immunology) was the first to observe the positive role of certain bacteria. In the early twentieth century, he said that you can modify the intestinal flora by replacing harmful microbes by useful microbes. Metchnikoff, at that time professor at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, supported the idea that the aging process was derived from a decay activity of some microbes producing toxins in the large intestine (proteolytics). Proteolytic bacteria such as Clostridia bacteria, which are part of the normal intestinal flora, produce toxic substances, including phenols, indole and ammonia which are products derived from digestion of proteins; Metchnikoff believes that they are responsible for what he called "intestinal auto-intoxication", and therefore they cause physical changes associated with aging. Just then he noticed that milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria (in English LAB) could inhibit the growth of proteolytic bacteria because of the low pH produced by fermentation of lactose and regularize the intestinal tract, thus helping to eliminate the annoying constipation. Based on these facts, Metchnikoff proposed the use of this milk fermented by these bacteria; he inserted it in his own diet finding an immediate benefit to his own health. Scientists believe that these bacteria can modify intestinal flora, thus limiting the auto-intoxication that is due to atherosclerotic changes, which lead to premature senility. In the early twentieth century, probiotics have been studied in order to rebalance intestinal environment by restoring its microbic balance with a consequent inhibition of pathogens and bacterial agents that produce toxins and improve our immune system from which depends on our ability to defend ourselves from microbial in nature diseases. Today, specific effects on health were studied. For example: the reduction of inflammatory bowel diseases, prevention and treatment of pathogenic bacteria that cause diarrhea (traveler's diarrhea, infant diarrhea, diarrhea caused by antibiotics), urogenital infections and atopic diseases. The bifidobacteria and LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria) families include the most common microbes used as probiotics microbes. Etymologically, the term seems to be a mixture of the Latin preposition pro ("for") and biotic derived from Greek bios (life). According to the currently definition, adopted by FAO/WHO, probiotics are "Living microorganisms which, well administered, carry a health benefit on its host". Bacteria have many properties including the inability to ferment sugar except for lactose, which produce lactic acid from. This ability is very useful for people suffering from lactose intolerance because their digestive system does not have enzymes to break down lactose into simpler sugars. Seems verified that CONE FLOWER (Echinacea angustifolia) chemical compounds slow pathogens germs spread in tissues and begin a defense mechanism activating, at the same time, regenerative mechanisms of these tissues. The active substance of this action would be a glucoside of caffeic acid and pyrocatechin which would have the capability to inhibit jaluronidase enzymethat is indirectly responsible for micro-organisms attack and for their proliferation in tissues. This active ingredient could also act directly on Hyaluronic-jaluronidase system that is enabled by fibroblasts proliferation (L’azione fagocitaria dell’echinacea….., in Erb. Domani, 2/91, p.16). The action of BLACKCURRANT (Ribes nigrum) (buds) is exercised at cortical adrenal level, spurring it to secrete anti-inflammatory hormones. RESVERATROL is a polyphenol found in grapes and other plants (for ex. Polygonum cuspidatum). It is used by plants to protect themselves against parasites. Today, there is so few of resveratrol in wine, on the contrary, telling the truth, there is none at all and this is due to pesticide used. Therefore, it can be taken if we produce extracts containing an adequate amount of it. Resveratrol is an important supplement because it can regenerate glutathione levels, to have a powerful antioxidant action, increasing quinone reductase levels (enzyme used by liver to detoxify carcinogens). Organization indicates resveratrol essentially to be able to reduce cardiovascular risk by 40%. As an antioxidant it protects against a wider range of free radicals than vitamin E. Resveratrol promotes nitric oxide production, biochemical mediator that human beings produce to control many of their functions and able to relax and dilate arteries.
