Re: Have you heard of this?

* I read it and it says that it's a non-pathogenic yeast called

Saccharomyces boulardii lyo. I almost got into an argument with the

poor gal when I saw that it was a yeast. Especially when their

information claims say that " Studies have shown it [Florastor ]

may be effective against parasites, candida albicans, cholers,

salmonella, C-difficile, IBS, crohn's diseasae, traveler's diarrhea,

and anti-biotic associated diarrhea. Everything I've read tells me

that one doesn't fight an overgrowth of yeast with yeast. Am I

wrong??

The yeast is not one that stays in the body. It passes through. I have read

the same things about it. More for leaky gut then anything else. It's pretty

cheap my bottle was about 7.00 with shipping.

As usual for me I have an allergic reaction to it like most things. If you

want my bottle with only one or two pills out of it for postage let me know.

They claim their yeast is non-pathogenic and only stays in the body 4

days after you stop taking the

supplement.

I know what you mean about yeast but then they use snake venom to make

anti-venom.

It would be nice if they would tell us which type of leukemia they were

treating--the treatments are quite different for different varieties of the

disease.
