Re: Dear Tim, eczema on lower leg

[Guest guest]

Hi Tim,

I recommend 2 probiotics found at www.goodherbs.com/5starherbs member# 7806.

They come in capsules:

Pro-vitality Plus take 1 cap am and 1 cap pm...

Dy-zyme...take two caps  20 min before each meal

Also, I think you may want to watch what you eat and when the rash flares up...

and try to eliminate the offenders...

Pro Vitality Plus contains a propietary lactobacillus strain...and L-sporagenes

(1 billion organisms) as well as ginger, FOS and flax seed to take care of die

off of bad flora.

Aloe vera can be very healing to the digestive tract...but it now, by FDA rule

must be

pasteurized...

Thanks Don. I just started using a probiotic, L. Reuteri, by Natures Way. Which

ones do you recommend?

Because fluctuations in bifidobacteria numbers produce a large difference in

bowel flora that lactobacilli do not, if one supplements with a proposed starter

probiotic, it should contain at least three bifidobacteria types.

And, if you use prebiotics to feed the culture you probably don't need

probiotics at all. The chief prebiotic for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli

growth is inulin.

If you don't feed the probiotics in any case, success is elusive. Turns out our

bowel disorders and in the elderly, reduced immune response, probably stem from

inadequate dietary inulin in the first place. Immune system has been elevated in

the elderly with inulin supplement. Clostridia difficile has been cured with

inulin too, and research has proposed dysbiosis as a prerequisite for bowel

disease.

Duncan,

In your research, has c-difficile been cured with inulin alone, or in

combination with other products such as probiotics, flagyl, vancomycin?

thanks

The research used inulin alone to clear C. difficile. All it does is allow the

probiotic bacteria to flourish and produce an acidic environment and more

germicides such as bacteriocins. Inulin in most people is in a deficiency state,

which subdues probiotic growth. We used to get 5-10 times the dietary inulin we

do today since the advent of farming.

Of course the process is subduing many bacteria besides C. diff.

all good,
