III. Bacterial dysbiosis<br />

• Bios = Life, sym = with<br />

• Dys symbiosis: outcome not good<br />

• Yeasts: problem for systemic immunity<br />

• Parasites more often seen e.g. Blastocystis hominis<br />

• E. coli and other pathogens can be the main culprit<br />

We live in harmony with some bacteria in the gut and have developed a good<br />

relationship with them.<br />

There is even cross talk between the proteins of these bacteria and the cells of<br />

the body.<br />

When this balance is disturbed, we see a condition of dysbiosis, which can be<br />

quite dangerous.<br />

Friendly bacteria belong to the Lactobaccilus group, etc.<br />

Dysbiosis can be caused by protozoan parasites (Entamoeba histolytica,<br />

Entamoeba coli, other Entamoeba, Dientamoeba fragilis, Endolimax nana,<br />

Giardia lamblia, Blastocystis hominis, Chilomastix mesnili, and others); yeast<br />

(Candida albicans, other Candida species, Torulopsis glabrata, and others); or<br />

bacteria (Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia enterocolitica,<br />

Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter diversus, Proteus<br />

mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, some strains of Escherichia coli,<br />

Staphylococcus aureus, some strains of Bacteriodes, Clostridium difficile, and<br />

others).<br />
