Thanks for tuning in. We're going to talk about probiotics today. In fact, I'll just talk a little bit about the brief history of probiotics. How they came about, how they started.
If you look back a long time ago, people always wanted to keep high quality foods for long periods of time. And one of those high quality foods was milk, whether it was camel's milk, sheep's milk, cow's milk or goat's milk, or whatever kind of milk, people wanted to keep the milk. They wanted to store this precious fluid. How could they keep it? Some people say that a long time ago, it happened by accident when milk was stored in skins like bladders of different animals, and then this basically turned sour. Naturally, some bacteria got in there, made it turn sour. And then these people in the Middle East found that they could keep this camel's or sheep's milk for long periods of time. It was sour.
It wasn't really until 1908 that we had a guy called Elie Metchnikoff who got a Noble Prize for discovering phagocytes or particular white blood cells. And Elie was quite interested to work out why some people live to 100 years plus in the Balkans and the Serbs, and people in Bulgaria, how they could live so long. What he found was that all of these people had one thing in common. They ate yogurt that they made. Yogurt is really preserved milk, and it's basically milk with the simple addition of some bacteria. 
Today, we use specialized techniques for creating yogurt, but you can easily make it at home in your own kitchen. Not a problem at all. Basically, we just use some yogurt that's left over or some high quality yogurt. We add it to cow's milk that's been heated up or sheep's milk, whatever you want to use, and then brought to room temperature and then a portion of yogurt from the previous consumption has been added and left for six to eight hours to get occulated. What happens is basically the bacteria create lactase, an enzyme, and that lactase starts hydrolyzing or attacking the sugar in the milk, the lactose, so it converts that into a compound. It slightly curdles it. The pH gets lowered and yogurt is formed, what we now know as yogurt. 
Yogurt is used around the world. Many cultures have used yogurt now for a long, long time. Yogurt can be used by you, and it should be used by you regularly. You can read my article on yeastinfection.org on the many uses of yogurt, and the many reasons why it is so beneficial for human health. It's an incredibly powerful food. It's a super food, in fact. We've gone beyond that now.
Dr. Metchnikoff did a huge amount of research, but today we know even more than Metchnikoff knew. We know now that we can make high quality dietary supplements containing the top quality strains of beneficial bacteria in amounts way, way larger than you'll ever get in yogurt. And also, the convenience of just taking a capsule, as opposed to having yogurt. I recommend you have both in your diet. You have yogurt and you have a probiotics supplement. 
The probiotics have been around a long time. Yogurt's been around a long time. Our knowledge of bacteria has only really been in the last 50 to 80 years; we now know that bacteria, in fact, don't kill people. They're actually necessary for life. Many bacteria inside our digestive system do exactly that. They promote life. Pro-bios, "for life." As opposed to anti-bios, "anti-life." So antibiotics kill life. Probiotics provide life. A very important reason for you to take these every day into your diet and also as a dietary supplement for a long period of time to really help get that right.
To sum things up, bacteria have been around since time immemorial, probably millions of years, but it's only been in the last 100 years that we understand the health giving benefits of them. Make sure you take them in every day in your diet, and particularly if you've got any kind of digestive problem, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, whatever you've got, try to take a small amount of naturally sour yogurt in every day. In the US alone just in the last 10 years, the consumption has gone from one pound up to like five or six pounds of yogurt per capita as people are aware of the benefits.
I created a product called Canxida Restore, and I created it mainly to supplement your diet. It contains seven of the best enzymes and six of the best probiotics together in a very specially formulated capsule. It's proven to be a very powerful supplement just like the Canxida Remove was, the antifungal that I created. So check out Canxida.com and you can have more of a read up on what Canxida Restore is all about. Are you eating yogurt every day? Have a think about it. It would benefit you immensely to eat a small amount of yogurt per day. If you can't tolerate yogurt, have a look at sauerkraut or kim chee, other kinds of foods also rich in lactic acid that can help to benefit your digestive system.
