The joke of many a home coming soiree, the infamous “Bali Belly”.
As a quick aside, pathetic nicknames for potentially fatal or otherwise conditions, is something I deplore most vehemently, as the populace, gullible to the last, will always continue to believe that it is Ok, although not nice, to be ill. Some will even eulogise on the merits of having attained the infamous “Bali Belly”, in order to be acclaimed as now being part of the club. Well, you surely are, but I’m not quite convinced that you’ve weighed up the cost of the subscription.
Anyway, “Bali Belly”, experienced by many in varying degrees of uncomfortableness, in front and behind, and resulting almost universally in the all too typical dose of antibiotics – the cure all to end all regimen that leaves you feeling wonderful and elated.
And then you get home. And then you start feeling not quite right. And then you ache – and then the headaches start. You get irritable. Constipation even. Maybe flatulence, and the return once more, of the inimitable “Bali Belly”. “But I’m no longer in Bali!” I hear you scream. No, but Bali is still inside you!!!
For most, it is obtained from the water, and no matter how hygienic you think you are, the odd second or two is all those nasty little bacteria need to infiltrate your intestines, and get to work disrupting the natural bacteria that keep you so pert and perky. ( Consider the shower, that some of you will take several times a day, and the twice a day tooth brushing session, both in water supplies teeming with bacteria ).
Most of you of course, have very little defence against such invasions, as your diets contain so many fats and sugars, excessive simple carbohydrates and only a token adherence to enzymic input. Couple this with the contraceptive pill and the widespread proliferation of steroid medication, and resultantly, the incursion of tropical bacteria which you do not experience in your home countries, becomes severe, and a heavy dose of anti biotics is the only course of action open to you, consequently destroying massive amounts of bacteria in your bodies – both good and bad.
Enter the parasitic yeast, a natural fungus that lives in everybody, acting as a detergent in your small intestines to ensure that everything maintains an equilibrium, but in this situation, is able to get completely out of control, due to the “invade all and kill all” action of the anti biotics. Yes, anti biotics are NOT the cure all medicine that pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession lead you to believe; they can, in adverse conditions, lead to fatalities from secondary infections.
Killed off in their millions, are the Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria and bifidobacteria, so the parasitic yeast now has a breeding ground to infiltrate many of the organs in your body. Do not be surprised therefore, that following your trip to Bali, your general health could begin to deteriorate; the parasitic yeast rearing it’s ugly head in a variety of symptoms and degrees, namely: Depression, anxiety, irritability, digestive problems, fatigue, lack of concentration, allergies, acne, migraine, muscular pain, cystitus, vaginitis, thrush and menstruation irregularities.
Like the damage from smoking, which occurs gradually, irregularly and without short term repair, so also these indications of a underlying cause, escalate out of control, affecting your health for as much as the remainder of your lives, however short that might be. Livers and kidneys are highly vulnerable, as too are the reproductive systems, urinary tract and small intestine.
Hundreds, indeed, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are continually in a state of complaint, suffering from this, then that, and never seeming to remove the plague that affects them. Doctors try this, then that, and the continuing downward spiral manifests itself later in life as the most infamous killer, cancer, now thought most recently to be initiated in the small intestine by imbalances created throughout life, by diet, and the wonder drug, the broad spectrum anti biotic. Put quite simply, for billions of you, prevention is better than cure, and if you need to resort to medication, then it is almost certain that it is you that has done something wrong, maybe weeks, if not months, and in some cases years before the event.
It is so nice to think that you can blame genetics, or bad luck, for something that is blatantly your fault. But if your doctor told you that, you’d be going to another doctor in future wouldn’t you?
You cannot expect the abuse of youth, or indeed middle age, to degrade as you fade. Any fading that is to be done will be because of this abuse, as when your bodies need all the defence mechanisms they can muster, they will encounter depleted reserves, the result of which you most certainly will pay a price.
I remember hearing so many times, “I need a holiday”, “I need to get away”, “I can’t handle the stress anymore”, as the continual poor excuse for mismanagement of your lifestyle. Society has progressed to treating it’s vacations as medication, looking to locations like Bali to alleviate the ailments that their lives provide, little realising, that in reality the progress was backward, and the cure, seemingly purely transitory.
I have heard it said before: “I cannot live without my Vegemite”, at which point I considered, “and I am sure you cannot live with it!!!” Then a trip to a local supermarket had a rather obtrusive female enquire of me, “Ere – ya knaw if dey gaut any Vegemaite, maite?”, to which, feeling somewhat violated, I responded, “Well Madam, I do believe ( beckoning yonder ) the vegetables ( not vegderballs, as so often pronounced ) are over there”. Her face was a picture, and a not very pleasant one at that, being somewhat ruined by a poor diet and far too many cosmetics over the years.
A breeding emporium for hormonal imbalances, her spotted and blemished cheeks and overall pallid aura, radiated ill health, yet here this woman was, yearning for the yeast to feed her already out of control yeast. Yes, a parasitic yeast is visible in the face of the sufferer. Far better a healthy portion of Liver if you crave Vegemite, but people are happy in their ignorance, and never do what doctors tell them until they realise they should have done it 20 years earlier.
Oh, bye the way, if you want a name to the parasitic yeast that could be causing so many of you so many health problems, particularly after your trip to Bali, and maybe even several years after your trip to Bali, then look no further than:
CANDIDA ALBICANS – oh, and if your immediate reaction to this is one of “Phah, I’m alright – what’s he talking about?”, then wait and see, for one thing is certain, Candida Albicans is in all of us from the moment we are born, but because of the lack of health and hygiene in Bali’s hotels and restaurants ( witness the ever increasing Health and Hygiene Courses being initiated by such establishments, evidence that no such standards were extent previously, and have many years to go before they could ever begin to come up to western standards ), so this invader will find an environment in you that suits it’s escalatory nature, passing from human to human with intimate contact as it’s transport, reducing your lifespan and quality of life for the remainder of your duration.
Do something about it. Reduce the risks. Do not be psychologically influenced by all the media hype, the big money players or the “it’s good for” slogans. Fast food is far more dangerous than you think, literally because of the repetitive and continued consumption. Equally so with many other foods, so unless you make a concerted effort to radically change your eating habits, whilst you seemingly are in reasonable health in your home countries, the moment you step food in Bali, then your immune systems will be attacked from every quarter, simply because it is a tropical country.
So, if you are not used to a tropical climate, then never, ever consider going to one unless you have made dietary changes for at least two years prior to your visit. Yes, it can take that long, longer sometimes, for your body to adjust the lack of toxic input, and the enhancement of enzymes, complex carbohydrates rather than simple ones, and first class protein.
Do your research.
Your bodies are extremely capable mechanisms because they have evolved together with evolution. The two are in balance, but because of worldwide population explosions, particularly within the last 74,000 years, the world now has to feed a resource that evolution has not been able to keep pace with, resultantly, cheaper and less nutritious food purveys our shop counters, and a whole load of expensive rubbish sits side by side with it.
As I said earlier, you cannot expect the abuse of earlier years to degrade as you fade, and fade you do, from a much earlier age than most of you expect. Indeed, from the moment you are born you start dying, but the real downer occurs at about the age of 30, when particular enzymes are no longer produced by the body; the body relying completely on dietary input. This is why the under – 30’s seem to shrug off so many ailments, and why the almost flippant use of the anti-biotic is so damaging, because it kills off the “good guys” that younger people have an abundance of.
Simply put, since “Lucy” was discovered in Africa, dating the human race to 3.5 million years ago, all the way up to the last 60 odd years, humans did not consume fizzy drinks, cheeseburgers, and canned foods, just to name three. Food was fresh, varied, balanced and highly nutritious, and everyone exercised, sometimes quite vigorously most days; and this is how we evolved. The advent of civilizations, beginning with the Egyptians, sounded the beginning of the end for the healthy evolution of humans.
Your bodies have not evolved to cope with the dietary rubbish most of you eat, which therefore leaves them severely under par, and less able to cope with tropical bacteria and viruses that have. This is the very reason why so many ailments exist now-a-days that formerly did not.
“It’s not my fault I got ill. That’s what bacteria and viruses do”.
Really?
Let me conclude with one very simple logic – the common cold. Yes, it is common. Why? Because so many people get it. Why? Because it is a virus. WRONG. You get it because you have weakened immune systems due largely to diet, so before the good guys can fight off the invader in your bloodstream, the full blown symptoms of a common cold result.
If your immune system was strong, you would not get a cold. Yes, you would catch the virus, there is nothing to stop that happening, but a couple of sneezes later and your expected cold is history.
So, if you want a holiday in Bali, or indeed any other tropical country, make sure you have adequate protection BEFORE you go there.
