New Study Confirms Breastfeeding Is Best!

​A compilation of studies presented by the Henry Ford Hospital at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology in Houston determined that breastfeeding affects the baby’s immune system and impacts on the composition of gut bacteria.
​
The findings confirm the early hygiene hypothesis based on the theory that childhood exposure to microorganisms affects the immune system’s development and onset of allergies.

The researchers used six studies to evaluate whether breastfeeding and maternal and birth factors had any effect on a baby’s gut microbiome and allergic and asthma outcomes. Stool samples of infants taken at one month and six months after birth was used to investigate whether the gut microbiome impacted the development of regulatory T-cells, or Treg, which are known to regulate the immune system.

The study findings revealed the following:


  • Breastfed babies at one month and six months had distinct microbiome compositions compared to non-breastfed babies. These distinct compositions may influence immune system development.
  • Breastfed babies at one month were at decreased risk of developing allergies to pets.
  • Asthmatic children who had nighttime coughing or flare-ups had a distinct microbiome composition during the first year of life.
  • For the first time, gut microbiome composition was shown to be associated with increasing Treg cells.
Researchers found that a baby’s gut microbiome patterns vary by:

  • A mother’s race/ethnicity.
  • A baby’s gestational age at birth.
  • Prenatal and postnatal exposure to tobacco smoke.
  • Caesarean section versus vaginal delivery.
  •  Presence of pets in the home.
“For years now, we’ve always thought that a sterile environment was not good for babies. Our research shows why. Exposure to these microorganisms, or bacteria, in the first few months after birth actually help stimulate the immune system,” said Christine Cole Johnson, Ph.D., MPH, chair of Henry Ford’s Department of Public Health Sciences and principal research investigator.

“The immune system is designed to be exposed to bacteria on a grand scale. If you minimize those exposures, the immune system won’t develop optimally.”

“The research is telling us that exposure to a higher and more diverse burden of environmental bacteria and specific patterns of gut bacteria appear to boost the immune system’s protection against allergies and asthma,” said Dr. Johnson.

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. All other claims made by other practitioners, not approved by Dr. Lawrence Wilson on his site, have altered Dr. Eck's principles and as such have no in depth understanding of the science, which is very unfortunate.  

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing program often ruins it rather completely.  This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson.  In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
