Canadian Television Network Airs that Probiotics Might Ease Some of the Signs of CFS
A Report from the CTV Television Network on a U of T Research Study reported that a daily dosage of a probiotic supplement every day has been demonstrated to improve symptoms of anxiety in study participants who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This research came out of a University of Toronto research team working with A. Venket Rao, based on a two month study that showed a sizeable reduction in the subject’s signs of anxiety.
First as a starter, for those who are not usually interested in natural health products, What is a probiotic? Very simply it is a natural health product that contains live bacteria – for example Bifidobacteria or lactobacillus. R Garden’s Salivarius is one such supplement that helps maintain the good bacteria that are found in everyone. This gut bacteria , enhances the immune system and fights damaging bacteria.
But what the University researchers were most thrilled to find was that, this two month program of daily probiotics supplement also demonstrated better results in handling disorders such as anxiety and depression. Unlike conventional medicines, which can trigger many undesirable side effects, probiotics are a safe and easy way to manage these problems. They have published their documentation in the journal BioMed Central.
Their study was conducted on people with C.F.S. which shows other symptoms like persistent fatigue and for about half of the group – sleep difficulties, depression & anxiety.
Likely what led them to examine probiotics at all was that subjects with CFS are also frequently afflicted with digestive problems often connected with the lowered presence of good bacteria in the body. This is something that natural health products advocates have long used probiotics to improve. Because the good bacteria present in the probiotic supplements will help the body crowd out the unhealthy bacteria in the body and this bad bacteria has already been connected with an increase in depression and other mood problems, the researchers feel that bacteria levels may influence our behavior.
The group given probiotics each day demonstrated increased levels of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria which matched to a significant drop in anxiety symptoms in the group. These patients also showed digestive improvements such as a drop in bloating, gas and inflammation.
“The findings are huge,” said study co-author Alison C. Bested, who went on to state that the research participants felt calmer and were better able to cope with their illness, slept better and showed less symptoms of anxiety.
