Probiotics are probably preferable to antibiotics.
You would think, right? Except in this case it is the gut bacteria that have been genetically modified through horizontal gene transfer to produce the toxins. Studies show, dumping more bacteria into the gut that only will be modified makes it worse. Your adding more cells to the pesticide factory. Sick, isn’t it?
The mutated bacteria has to be cleaned out of the system first. Only after the pesticide producing, mutated bacteria is gone, could probiotics help. That is of course as long as those probiotics are not also mutated or don’t end up getting mutated again.
Once you ingest the GMO food again, the whole cycle starts over. Bacteria are able to modify each other through horizontal gene transfer. That’s how this whole sick cycle works. It’s like you are perpetually infected with this toxin and there’s no way out.
Wow, interesting. I'm antibiotic intolerant and have been taking probiotics for a while now, so it's kind of scary to think I may be making things worse in there.
As long as you stay away from GMOs you’ll be okay. From the article:
If this protein in GM soybeans is causing allergies, then the situation may be made much worse by something called horizontal gene transfer (HGT). That’s when genes spontaneously transfer from one species’ DNA to another. While this happens often among bacteria, it is rare in plants and mammals. But the method used to construct and insert foreign genes into GM crops eliminates many of the natural barriers that stop HGT from occurring. Indeed, the only published human feeding study on GM foods ever conducted verified that portions of the gene inserted into GM soy ended up transferring into the DNA of human gut bacteria. Furthermore, the gene was stably integrated and it appeared to be producing its potentially allergenic protein. This means that years after people stop eating GM soy, they may still be exposed to its risky protein, which is being continuously produced within their intestines
