Prebiotics for Gut Microbiome and Cancer - Immune Therapy

Prebiotics provide nutrients that help your good bacteria (flora/microbiome) to grow in your gut. The good microbiome supports your immune system and helps your body fight cancer and infections.

Your gut microbiome supports hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy, immunomodulating therapy and cancer immunotherapy.

You get a lot of prebiotics from the following 11 foods.

1. Chicory root
2. Dandelion greens
3. Jerusalem artichoke
4. Garlic, Onions & Leeks
5. Asparagus
6. Bananas
7. Barley
8. Oats
9. Apples
10. Flaxseeds
11. Seaweed

A couple of servings a day support the good bacteria in your gut. It would take a lot of supplement prebiotic capsules to get the same effect as a serving or two of food.
