Suzanne,

This is on Elaine's website. You just neeeded to search under " Probiotics. "

Probiotics

Elaine spent a year doing library research on probiotics and realised that the

whole area is

very iffy. The one conclusion that she came out with is: " That Lactobacillus

acidophilus had

been shown to be very helpful for many schizophrenics, bowel patients, etc. over

a period

of 100 years. "

However, a report was published in the New England Journal of Medicine by a

gastroenterologist that stated that one doctor found that all his Crohn's

patients had an

OVERGROWTH of Lactobacillus acidophilus which he felt was contributing to the

disease.

Unfortunately this found its way into the reference books that pharmacies use.

Elaine feels that we should keep our probiotic ingestion to a minimum and get

helpful

bacteria from our SCD™ yoghurt and so displace the harmful bacteria.
