Did you know that the human gut is host to trillions of bacteria. Estimates put the number of different types of micro-organisms in the gut at 400 and the total number of bacterial cells at 1 x 10¹⁴ ; a figure which exceeds the total number of human beings in the world.

These bacteria form the basis of your health, protecting against microbial and parasitic attack, keeping your Digestive and Immune Systems in prime health and ensuring optimal digestion and absorption of food.

Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride knows about children’s health from personal experience. Her son was diagnosed autistic when he was three. At three and a half, he started a program of treatment. Now 15, he attends a mainstream school.

“I remember that traumatic moment of the diagnosis ‘Autism’, being announced to us by our doctor followed by a statement 'There is nothing that can be done', says Natasha. “Well, being a doctor myself, I have to say ‘Your doctor is wrong! There is a lot that can be done’.”

Natasha and her partner Peter were founding members of PEACH (Parents for the Early intervention of Autism in Children). PEACH is a parent-led group helping parents of children with autism Intensive Behavioral Intervention Program. Also known as ABA, this approach is based on highly personalized, one-to-one coaching that teaches children language, play, academic, intellectual, self-help and social skills. An ABA program can sometimes achieve miracles, but Natasha’s research and experience has shown her that it is still not enough.

“Looking back now, nobody could predict that a little boy without any language, constantly self stimulating, eating very little apart from milk from a baby bottle could undergo such a transformation. On the whole what happened to him can only be described as a miracle. However, his achievements are not due solely to the ABA program", says Natasha.

Researchers are discovering that this “good” bacteria helps not only to stimulate digestive health, but may stimulate a healthy immune system. These probiotic bacteria may even be a key to understanding obesity. Gary Huffnagle, Ph.D., of the University of Michigan Health System, is one of the country’s leading researchers into the world of probiotics.

Medical researchers are finding that one of the keys to good health could be living in our guts – specifically, in the world of microbes that live in our digestive tracks.
