I don't see anything " frightening " here. Humans and animals have been

consuming soil organisms for millenia....from *the soil*. Not everyone does

great with PD, but a LOT of folks have had great success with it. Soil

organisms saved Jordan Rubin's life, and have returned many people and pets

back to health. Mercola uses it extensively in his practice and reports

excellent success with it with many patients, albeit not all. AFAIK, EM

(Effective Microorganisms) which also contain SBOs have been used in Japan

for decades and are currently gaining popularity in the US, as some folks,

like Vinny Pinto of the Live Foods list, have had excellent results using EM

brews. Personally, I'm taking both PD and and an EM brew and am not worried

because the owner of a competitor product has some disparaging words to say

about SBOs. Natren has also taken PB8 to task on the Internet - maybe

there's something to it, I don't know, but there's nothing in this email

that raises an alarm for me re PD. In any case PD is the only product that

has normalized my stools, so I can be added to the thousands of other

testimonials out there.

I'm open to sensible and evidentiary criticism of any of the products I'm

currently using, but this author offers neither. Sounds more like scare

tactics from a major competitor. The author should provide some specific

studies that show the SBOs used in PD causing harm, rather than broad

statements about SBOs incorporating genetic materials, etc. I mean if SBOs

as a broad class do all these bad things then we probably wouldn't be here

nor any other mammal since we all have consumed soil organisms from *soil*

and our ancestors much more so than modern industrialized folks. I'm not

saying she's wrong, only that she doesn't provide any evidence other than

her own summary of some papers she was sent from a PD competitor. Best to

read the original research rather than get it filtered through someone

else - think " cholesterol myths " , for example.

The only concern I currently have about PD is the iron it contains, as I

tested slightly high in iron, and don't want to have excess iron in my

blood.
