Body's Flora - Infant Intestinal Flora
GI flora established in the first few days of life
Establishing normal gut flora within ~ the first
20 days or so of life plays a crucial role in appropriate maturation of a newborn's
immune system. At birth, fetuses are sterile
in the womb, but beginning with the birth process, infants are exposed to microbes
that originate from the mother, the surrounding environment and the infant's diet.
Babies who develop abnormal gut flora are left with compromised immune
systems, which
may be a crucial factor when it comes to vaccine-induced
damage .
At birth
At birth the entire intestinal
tract is sterile, but bacteria enter with the first feed - The
initial colonizing bacteria vary with the food source of the infant.
Other factors affecting the intestinal microflora
of the infant. Inc ludes geographical
differences (industrialized vs. developing countries) and administration of antibiotics
in neonatal intensive care.
Breast-fed infants
In breast-fed infants,
Bifidobacteria
- Regularly present
(but in low proportions)
• Enterobacteriaceae
• E nterococci
- Essentially absent
• Bacteroides
• Staphylococci
Bottle-fed infants
In bottle-fed infants,
Bifidobacteria
are not predominant.
Instead enterobacteria Bifidobacteria
- Predominant bacteria
• LACTO BACILLI
• CLOSTRIDIA
- Breast-fed infants
switched to a diet of cow's milk or solid food
adds :
• Enterics
• Bacteroides
• E nterococci
Autism in a child is connected to gut flora of mother at child's
birth
Russian neurologist, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride has a medical practice
in the U.K. treating autism, learning disabilities, neurological disorders, psychiatric
disorders, immune disorders, and digestive problems and is the author of the book
Gut and Psychology Syndrome
interview by Dr. Jospeh Mercola :
"100 percent of mom's of autistic children have
abnormal gut flora and health problems related to that. But then I look at grandmothers
on the mother's side, and I find that the grandmothers also have abnormal gut flora,
but much milder."
". . . bottle-feeding along with over-use of antibiotics and use of
the contraceptive pill set the stage for increasingly abnormal gut flora with each
passing generation. Then, add to that a diet of processed junk food and excessive
consumption of high fructose corn syrup and you have a prescription for disaster
in terms of intestinal health. It's important to realize that processed foods and
sugar almost exclusively feed pathogens in your digestive system, allowing them
to proliferate.
"Many of these modern factors created a whole plethora of young ladies
in our modern world who have quite deeply abnormal gut flora by the time they are
ready to have their first child. This is the abnormal gut flora that they are passing
through their children," she explains.
"So these babies acquire abnormal gut flora from the start and while
the baby is breastfed the baby is receiving protection because whatever is in the
mother's blood will be in her milk. . . . But as soon as the breastfeeding stops
that protection stops as well. That is the time when the abnormalities in the
gut flora really flourish and the child starts sliding down into autism or ADHD
or ADD or any other learning disability or physical problems such as diabetes type
1, for example, and celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions, or. . . asthma,
eczema and other physical problems. That's where this epidemic comes from."
The primary factor for an adverse vaccination reaction
may be imbalanced gut flora - simple, inexpensive pre-screening
before immunization could allow correction with strategies that are comprehensively
described in Dr. McBride's book,
Gut and Psychology Syndrome .
