What Is Gut Flora?

The term flora means “environment.” The intestinal flora refers to the microorganisms that live inside the intestines. There are around 500 different types of bacteria in the gut, numbering between 1 and 10 quadrillion. About 98% of these are beneficial bacteria, while 2% are harmful. A small amount of Candida fungus is also present.

What Does It Do?

The beneficial bacteria in the flora help digest nutrients, produce certain vitamins, prevent inflammation in the intestines, and protect intestinal cells.

What Is an Imbalanced Gut Flora?

An imbalanced gut flora occurs when the normally dominant beneficial bacteria decrease, while harmful bacteria and Candida fungi increase.

What Happens When Gut Flora Is Disrupted?

Normally, harmful bacteria are few in number and kept under control by beneficial bacteria, preventing them from causing disease.
However, when beneficial bacteria decrease, harmful bacteria begin to multiply and cause problems.

Candida fungi, which are usually harmless and even beneficial by binding heavy metals, are among the first to multiply when the flora is disrupted. Candida grows in a filamentous form — extending its structures between intestinal cells, damaging the semi-permeable barrier of the intestinal wall.

As pathogenic bacteria increase, inflammation and deterioration occur in the intestinal lining.
When this barrier is compromised, toxins, heavy metals, and undigested food particles that should normally stay out of the bloodstream start to enter, leading to food sensitivities.
People may begin to react to foods that previously caused no problems.

The consequences of a leaky gut include:

• Fatigue, weakness, headaches

• Depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, sleep and attention disorders

• Gas, bloating, nausea, stomach cramps, constipation or diarrhea, indigestion, bad breath

• Insulin resistance, blood sugar imbalance, weight gain, water retention

• Skin itching, rashes, allergic asthma, rhinitis

• Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

• Rheumatic diseases

Why Does the Flora Deteriorate?

The most common cause is uncontrolled antibiotic use.
If antibiotics are used for every mild infection or cold, most of the intestinal bacteria are lost. After just one week of antibiotic use, it can take at least six months for the flora to recover.

Therefore, antibiotics should not be used unless there is a serious bacterial infection — especially since most illnesses are caused by viruses, against which antibiotics are ineffective.

Ozone therapy is the most powerful natural antiseptic, 3,000 times stronger than chlorine, and it is harmless to the human body. It is toxic not only to bacteria but also to viruses and fungi.
In upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, or middle ear infections, 3–5 ozone sessions can completely eliminate the infection.
For lung infections, ozonated olive oil vapor is used.
For diarrhea, rectal ozone, and for wound infections, bag ozone therapy provide excellent results.

Other causes include:

• Medications: corticosteroids, antirheumatic drugs, antidepressants

• Unbalanced diet:

  • High-carbohydrate foods

  • Refined foods

  • Processed foods

  • Additives

  • Late-night eating

  • Acidic diet and low water intake

• Abdominal surgeries, especially cesarean section

• Heavy metals and hormones

• Vaccinations

• Stress and emotional overload

How Is It Diagnosed?

Diagnosis starts with clinical suspicion.
Patients showing the symptoms listed above can be accurately diagnosed through kinesiological muscle testing, bioscan, or bioresonance methods.

How Is It Treated?

Flora imbalance cannot be corrected by simply taking probiotics or drinking kefir.
A comprehensive, holistic treatment plan is needed, ideally guided by a qualified dietitian with an integrative perspective.

Treatment may include:

• A personalized nutrition plan

• Rectal ozone or colon hydrotherapy to repair the intestinal lining

• Neural therapy to reset pathological disease memory and restore regulatory balance

• Supplementation of vitamin and mineral deficiencies

• Addressing latent acidosis
