Probiotics Question (Em) (WAS: 80-10-10 diet)

[Guest guest]

Hi Em,

 

As I understand this topic, the purpose of probiotics is to reintroduce to

our digestive tract certain flora that we have damaged. But the probiotic

material itself is an inert object, so I don't see how this might occur.

More important, though, as we create health, those organisms that live

within us and that are supposed to flourish within us will do so, and the

other organisms will cease to flourish.

 

So while I see no great harm in probiotics (other than the usual fillers and

so forth that require energy and other resources to eliminate), I see no

particular benefit, either.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Elchanan,

what is your take on probioticcs then

I know someone had posted about fermented products Kefir and the like

living foods

I wanted toanswer tht post but didn't have anything to offer besides they

make me feel good-good for creating a healthy gut (and ;related to the b12

?)

Just more advertising in your opinion?

Thanks,

Em

Elchanan,

 

I'm not sure what filers you are talking about?

Unless you're talking about the garbage in the manistream yogurts such

as Dannon & yoplait

but I have bought Erivan & seven stars

Erivan is esp. good-non homgenized & doesn't say anything about

pasturization

I have not had any ill effects from that or other fermented products

such as kombucha tea or kimchi

but as for now I will not be using them as I plan to eat 100% raw for

at least 4 weeks

Thanks for your poast-
