If, when we are young, we mess up our proper micro-ecological balance, our bodies may not show or notice the negative results because the pancreas can produce the necessary enzymes. Our bodies are still young enough to compensate and rejuvenate themselves from their own inherent growth powers, similar to the way a seed can sprout from its own inherent energy without getting any nutrients. Yet if you don't put that seed in healthy soil, it will lose its vitality, and eventually die.

In humans, the unhealthful micro-organisms including candida and E. Coli, emit toxins and may thrive in a digestive tract that does not have a preponderance of healthful micro-organisms, including lactobacilli. As one gets older, these toxins may seep out through the intestinal walls and poison the body, creating what the famous Russian scientist Elie Metchnikoff (Metchnikoff was appointed by Louis Pasteur to run the Pasteur Institute in France) referred to as "auto-intoxication."

Auto-intoxication is the poisoning of the organs as a result of toxins or poisons building up in the intestines and then eventually seeping through the cell walls of the intestines and entering the blood stream, the lifeline of our organs.

When you're young, your organs can still function well with toxins in them. The negative results are noticed as you get older. When the organs become poisoned, their ability to assimilate vitamins, minerals and other nutrients and to rejuvenate the body is diminished. Many people who are older can have a lot more energy and be a lot healthier if they prevent auto-intoxication by keeping the proper micro-ecological balance in the digestive tract.

In the digestive tracts of human babies and wild animals, there exists a natural microbiological balance. This means there is the right amount of healthful micro-organisms present. Originally, nature designed the implantation of these healthful micro-organisms to occur as a result of the consumption of mother's milk.

Nature designed our bodies to keep this proper microbiological balance (healthful micro-organisms proliferating in the digestive tract) for our entire lives without needing to be re-implanted. Nature did the best it could to compensate for overprocessed, fiberless diets, antibiotics, and/or a toxic environment (all of which may eliminate vital micro-organisms) by giving our bodies inherent strength and a natural resiliency. If these healthful micro-organisms are eliminated, one of nature's methods for re-implantation of the vital micro-organisms is the consumption of Raw Cultured Vegetables.
