Our gut – the center of our health and a misunderstood organ
Let’s start from the inside, with the gut. Together with its countless nerve cells and neurons as well as an incredible number of bacteria, germs and hormone receptors, it is one of the centers of our existence.
The latest findings show that more information flows from the gut brain to the head brain than vice versa:

The intestinal flora has a significant influence on our health. This is because the bacteria that live in it are our closest allies. In order for them to reliably fulfill their function, we need to keep them happy by feeding them well.
If there are not enough good bacteria, i.e. the right “helpers”, in the gut, we notice this in our weak immune system.
The following symptoms can indicate that our intestinal flora is disturbed:
Empty the garbage can to make room for something new
Relaxed letting go – a good description for cleansing our body. To ensure that we remain relaxed, it is important to regularly support our body in relieving itself.
Our bodies are exposed to many pollutants. Exhaust fumes and particulate matter pollute the air, and residues of heavy metals or pesticides can be found in fruit and vegetables. Food, cleaning products and cosmetics contain preservatives, fragrances, colorants and many other additives. In addition, we are often under a lot of stress, have an unhealthy diet, consume alcohol or cigarettes and do too little exercise. Mold toxins, chemicals in textiles (clothing, carpets) and medicines also need to be eliminated from the body.
Our body has a sophisticated system for getting rid of toxins. In our body, the elimination of harmful substances takes place primarily via the liver and kidneys, but the bile, intestines, skin, lungs and lymphatic system are also involved. The liver plays the central role in this process. It breaks down harmful metabolic products or harmful substances introduced from outside, converts them into non-toxic substances, makes them water-soluble and excretes them via the urethra or intestines.
We can do a lot to ensure that our body successfully masters this task.
The gut – our second brain
We can listen to our gut feeling, have anger or butterflies in our stomach and sometimes something hits us on the stomach. Who hasn’t heard these expressions? In fact, it has now been proven that these expressions are more than just empty phrases.
More than 100 million nerve cells can be found in the gut. This second brain is on a par with the brain of the head and does amazing work every day.
In alternative healing methods, the body is always viewed holistically. Healthy intestinal flora supports and stimulates the immune system in the intestine and throughout the body. The intestinal flora also controls the breakdown of fat cells, the burning of calories, and inhibits the build-up of fat.
The psyche and gut health also play an interactive role. Stress can have a negative effect on the intestinal flora and a disturbed intestinal flora can in turn cause anxiety and depression. All of this is taken into account in naturopathic therapy.
We are not aware of the messages that the gut sends to the brain. Nevertheless, they can have a significant influence on our behavior, indeed in some ways bacteria manipulate our eating habits.
They can control our preferences for certain foods and tell our brain what we should eat. If we predominantly feed the harmful bacteria by eating fast sugars such as light carbohydrates, too much meat, sweet drinks, too much alcohol and much more, then they are the ones who influence our eating behavior. A vicious circle.
On the other hand, if we feed the good bacteria with vegetables, fresh herbs, seasonal fruit and the like, they get the upper hand and help us to think and act.
The gut and hormones
The hormone system and intestinal function influence each other.
Some hormones are produced in the gut, such as the happiness hormones serotonin and dopamine, as well as the sleep hormone melatonin.
Research has shown that the intestinal environment is involved in regulating oestrogen levels and therefore also influences the risk of hormone-related illnesses.
Recommendations for healthy intestinal flora
80% of my patients lack a healthy intestinal colonization. ProColon is indispensable in my practice. I use it as a basic treatment, but also to support the immune system and achieve extreme improvements as a result.
Margot Sch. , TherapistI was constantly tired, my digestion was out of balance, I often had flatulence and recurring infections. Then I was given 2 capsules of ProColon from Vital-Life in the morning on an empty stomach for 4 months.
My symptoms quickly improved, I am full of energy again and the flatulence has completely disappeared. I will now take this ProColon cure regularly!
Elisabeth S. , UserDear Vital- Life Team
For years my patient had been suffering from viral/bacterial infections in her nose/throat, rec. bronchitis. She had been prescribed antibiotics for years, was constantly tired, exhausted and her digestion was sluggish, flatulence was a problem for her, bloating and digestive problems were the order of the day.
Prescribed by me: 2 capsules of ProColon capsules on an empty stomach in the morning. Since then she has regained her energy. The flatulence is almost gone and she hasn’t had an infection since she started taking the capsules.
Kind regards from alternative practitioner Margot Sch. from patient Laura D. 38 yrs.
Margot Sch. , TherapistPatient has had acne since puberty, often had a bloated stomach and was often tired and exhausted.
She was repeatedly prescribed antibiotics because of the acne. I gave her ProColon to build up the intestinal flora. Since then she feels much better, her skin is significantly better, she feels “comfortable in her skin” again!
Margot Sch. , TherapistRelaxed release with alkaline body care
Life growing in the womb shows us how to take care of our bodies naturally and gently. This should be as alkaline as the expectant mother’s amniotic fluid, which ideally has an alkaline pH value of 8-8.5.
In addition to the intestines, kidneys and lungs, the skin is also involved in the important task of cleansing the body.
Acids and body waste are excreted via the sweat glands. For this reason, the skin is also known as the “3rd kidney”.
Alkaline applications can support the skin’s functions. The deposits on the skin are neutralized and the skin is thoroughly cleansed. In addition, a so-called osmotic pressure is created between the body fluids and the alkaline bath water, which supports the skin’s excretory function. An alkaline bath is a very special experience. The tension subsides, the mind can relax and the skin feels particularly supple and soft afterwards. Not only is it cleansed, but its natural sebum production is also stimulated, giving you the feeling that you can do without any body lotion.
“Discharge” your inner tensions
My first alkaline bath was a blast. I actually managed to bathe for 40 minutes and already noticed that my skin became beautifully soft and smooth. I also took her tip to heart and rubbed myself down with a towel during the bath. When I left the water, I was amazed at the gray discoloration of the water. I was very tired and felt great the next day.

Nicole B., UserSince I have been able to take alkaline baths, I have enjoyed doing so very often. My skin doesn’t dry out like it does with the usual additives. I don’t need any more creams or lotions after the bath, my skin doesn’t feel tight at all. I also no longer need deodorant. I am very satisfied, thank you very much for this great product.
Heribert K.
Heribert K., UserAs I don’t have a bathtub, I use the alkaline bath regularly (at least once a week) as a foot bath. I place a household brush on the bottom of my footbath and use it to rub off my calluses. After the foot bath, I dry my feet and apply your Bella Mucosa (very little). Socks over it – done. The next day I have totally soft feet. Thank you
Kerstin K., UserThe 5-point concept
Everything is connected to everything. Activity, every meal, too little sleep, stress and much more can change the hormonal balance. In order to provide you with the best possible support on your path to your own center, we have put together this concept for you with products of the highest quality.
