Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yup! Flora makes very good products! I have many things made by them... another good company is called Genestra. I take their probiotic as suggested by my naturopath. It is called HMF Forte. *8-) > > HI Lena, > My very favorite probiotic is by Flora. It's Udo's > Super 8.

Cyndi, A good probiotic is the one already native to your bowel, and here's why: Even within the same family and the same town, people on essentially the same diet will have different strains of probiotics native to their bowel. When probiotics are used for awhile, then withdrawn, probiotic bowel culture soon reverts to the native strains. So, it follows that imposing different strains, even the latest and greatest patented ones, may not be an advantage except for perhaps being a temporary measure. In addition, if you feel you absolutely must use probiotics capsules, be aware that if you do the math you quickly face the fact that 200 capsules daily (conservatively) may be required to repopulate bowel bacteria if it's only 50% incorrect. Let alone upper intestinal bacteria. Can you afford even 10%, 20 capsules daily? Remember we know that what caused the bowel dysbiosis in everyone except the antibiotic users was simply a lack of the inulin in the modern diet that we and our probiotic bacteria evolved with. We're addressing a known deficit, not adding to an amount that should have been adequate already. This inulin deficit can be calculated exactly based on your diet, and addressed also with diet if one is careful. Bottom line is that it's a lot cheaper and more effective, not to mention natural, to simply feed our own unique probiotic strains and let the bowel difficulties resolve. That, truly, is a good probiotic. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Duncan, Do you feel a lengthy natural approach is always best? There have to be degrees of dybosis. I would think that people with severe infections could benefit from probiotics simply because of the competition for attachment space in the intestines. > Re: A good probiotic > ....clip... > Bottom line is that it's a lot cheaper and more effective, not to > mention natural, to simply feed our own unique probiotic strains and > let the bowel difficulties resolve.
