Big difference between consuming a few spore formers on food and in dirt and

consuming mass quantites in the form of a probiotic pill. I don't have a bottle

of PD so I don't even know if the strains and quatities of bacteria are listed,

they certainly aren't listed on the web page (proprietary precess and all that).

I think you'd be better off making capsules out of dirt if you need more. Or

just eat fermented foods.

You might want to wear your shoes to prevent parasites if you live in the

south...
