We should take friendly yeast?

[Guest guest]

Hello Folks:

In Dr. 's latest newsletter he answers a reader's question about

taking Probiotics and I was surprised at what he said-

" In addition to taking bacterial probiotics (which usually consist of various

species of lactobacillus acidophilus), don't forget to use friendly species of

yeasts to help crowd out the unfriendly yeasts and molds, such as candida

albicans and others that can creep in when friendly bacteria are killed.

Friendly yeasts include Saccharomyces cerevisiae (species include brewer's yeast

and baker's yeast) and Saccharomyces boulardii. "

Will someone comment on this? Is this a good thing to do?
