OT: Study Results on Probiotics

[Guest guest]

I found this interesting so am going to repost it here. I read in

an autistic group since they are chelating heavy metals like me and

also autistic kids have gut problems similar to mine (as heavy

metals can cause havock with gut lining). Anyway, this was posted

today and thought everyone would find interesting regarding

probiotics. You have to take spaces out of link to have it work.

Dear group:

I picked this up out of another egroup that I am in, and I thanked

the

person that wrote it. It sure appears " we won a big battle " in regard

to the following:

PROBIOTIC bacteria given to autistic children improved their

concentration and behaviour so much that medical trials collapsed

because parents refused to accept placebos, a scientist revealed

yesterday.

This is probably a VERY significant, if not landmark, event for

alternative medicine.

Fascinating. I have taken probiotics for years and I also swear by them.

Lori--Do you have a favorite probiotic??? I have been using VSL3 but it

contains only the lactobacillus acidophillus. Do you use one which is made with

the other strains? Leigh

The brand I use is called Ultra Flora Plus. I use the Dairy-Free formula. It

has acidophilus but also Bifidobacterium lactis.

The reason I like it is because it is a powder mixed with water that must be

refrigerated. I don't believe the capsule forms work very well.

I have heard Jarrow also makes good ones, but I have never been able to find

their adult formula, only the infant formula. I order Ultra Flora Plus through

my doctor. Technically it's not supposed to be available outside of doctors,

but it is on the internet. You just have to be careful and make sure it is a

legitimate seller and also that they ship it with cold packs because it is very

unstable at room temperature.

Hope this helps.
