Darned if I can find the pertinent article in the list at the above link

though.

I also found many links claiming b.Licheniformis is safe but I prefer

not to take a chance. Plus this quotes from emails to another list

states my opinion well though I didn't write them:

> The Primal Defense product may have inorganic minerals in it, but

> that pales when compared to the cancer risk presented by bacillus

> licheniformis and/or its juices also in the mix. Primal Defense

> really is NOT a probiotic, but primarily transient soil-based

> bacteria.

> Dunno why someone would use bacteria that are foreign to the human

> frame, much less a potential hazard, when naturally beneficial

> bacteria are also available that do not present the risk.

>

> Disturbing information with regard to the presence of the juice

> of " bacillus licheniformis " - a known cancer bacteria in Primal

> Defense, remains a problem. Many health professionals I respect will

> not recommend Primal Defense, and some point out it doesn't muscle

> test well anyway, if that helps at all.

As Cheri said, we all must make our own decisions. I'm just providing

info so those decisions can be informed by something other than sales hype.
