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 />
