Dysbiosis is the imbalance of bacteria in the colon, or bowel, which often leads to bad health. The idea of dysbiosis was postulated by Metchinkoff in the nineteenth century. Metchinkoff correctly identified that: * Excessive putrefactive bacteria (the harmful type) in the colon cause toxins to be produced - especially the damaging 'amines', and that: * Eating fermented foods containing probiotics - 'friendly bacteria' - could reduce ill health. These foods include yoghurt and sauerkraut.
