NEW GENERATION OF NATURAL HEALING HITS SOUTH AFRICA

NEW GENERATION OF NATURAL HEALING HITS SOUTH AFRICA
A new generation of natural healing has hit South African shores, and the manufacturers are claiming it as a health revolution. Efficient Microbes, based in Durban, KZN, is operating under license as the sole African manufacturers of EM probiotic products which are based on a technology first developed in Japan in the early 1980s and now utilised in the fields of human health, agriculture and environmental remediation worldwide.
Traditionally, probiotics found on the shelves of health stores and pharmacies contain high dosages of lactic acid bacteria, which are the predominant good bacteria in the human gut. In addition to this bacteria, EM (effective microorganisms) products contain all of the classes of microbes which are found naturally in our soils, vegetables and water and which, if modern agriculture and livestock farming wasnt beset by chemicals and antibiotics, should be passing via these foods into the human body.
According to Executive Director, Jason Anthony, EM technology is taking natural healing to a new level: The truth is that the value and potential of beneficial bacteria has barely been tapped and most consumers (and a fair number of doctors and health experts) have missed the point entirely. Bacteria are not simply a nice additive to your diet, and they are certainly not only in the gut. Bacteria are necessary for life to survive at all. They are in every plant, every blade of grass, every square centimetre of water, and there are up to ten times as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. In fact, you could say that your body is more bacteria than anything else, which fact alone should indicate that the bacterial balance in your body is more important than any other single factor when dealing with your health.
EM technology was developed in Okinawa, Japan, by Dr. Teruo Higa, a horticulturalist who was searching for means of increasing crop yields without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. He discovered a method of combining multiple classes of healthy bacteria in a liquid solution which, when applied to any new environment (whether it was soil, animals or the human body) would establish a stable population of good bacteria which motivated the whole system to regenerate, eliminating bad (pathogenic) bacteria and restoring normal function in that area. EM is manufactured with strains of lactic acid bacteria, beneficial yeasts and phototropic bacteria (considered the most versatile micro-organism on earth).
In South Africa, a country plagued with health issues (and no shortage of natural healers and health products claiming to fix everything and anything), it has become taboo to even suggest the fact that, perhaps, everything can be healed. Anthony, however, is not short on confidence with regards the capabilities of EM: We have seen results with illnesses or body problems that people had never been able to handle before, from acne to hypertension and arthritis to tumours, but the theory of why it works is actually very simple: since bacteria is a key ingredient to any life form surviving, it makes as much sense to get your bacterial populations in balance as it does to eat food daily or breathe. These are real basics that we are talking about, and come the next few decades I have no doubt that bacterial technology will eventually handle all of the incurable diseases that chemical medicine has had no luck with. When the body has the correct bacteria in it, it has the tools it needs to heal itself that is why we have had results in so many different areas. No matter what supplements or medicine that someone is taking they should also be using EM; they may even come across results that we havent seen before.
EM products are currently sold in health stores and pharmacies in KZN, or can be gotten through the Efficient Microbes offices in Durban.
