For most of her life, my wife has been battling IBS.
I always believed that a probiotic should solve the problem.
We tried many (including the HSO). Nothing worked.
Then we tried VSL#3.
IBS gone within about two months on one packet per day.
Now she gets it by prescription so that our drug coverage will defray the
considerable cost.
We think eventually she will be able to stop taking it and still remain
stable.
If you order it, make sure to order from the company itself so that it will
be shipped with ice packs.
VSL#3 should always be refrigerated.

Hi Steve:
I'm always playing around with various probies. Sometimes, one must
consider how powerful of a porbiotic formula one actsually needs. I'm NOT an
expert on the topic, but I do emmensely enjoy the research.
Dr. Mercola's probiotics, which contain ten strains, are desigend to
survive the digestive tract. These are just your run-of-the-mill probiotics,
and a touch pricey, but at least one knows the job will get done.
The first of the "big guns" I play with are HSO's, homeostatic soil
organisms, offered by Garden Life under the brand name Primal Defense. These
are very controversial little creatures have no problems surviving through the
digestive system. These types of organisms have come under fire primarily due
to modern science's inability to predict the long term effects of HSO's.
However, before disregarding them as potentially profound healing agents, the
small scale studies done should be carefully considered.

But my personal favorite probies I make myself, from Effective
Microorgansims. THe EM master culture, from Japan, is quite affordable, and is
a blend of microorganisms designed as a support system to keep one type of very
special microorganism alive: Two strains of photosynthetic bacteria,
Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Rhodobacter sphaeroides

These amazing little creatures (if you can call them that) don't often
appear at the Earth's surface anymore... Not since the Earth's atomosphere
began containing oxygen.
Every last researcher that I've corresponded with has been nothing short of
amazed at the various applications of EM and A-EM. Ongoing research continues:

...however, very little has been published in English about the health and
healing potential of using EM-based supplements as probiotics. That said, in
the worst case scenarios with people I correspond with, when their chronic
digestive conditions (and we're talking hospitalization level conditions)
respond to nothing else, a combination of EM therapy and clay therapy has, at
the very least, stabilized even the most serious cases of IBS, Crohns, and
other non- or mis-diagnosed conditions of the lower intestines.
Whatever probiotic one chooses, it takes about four weeks to see how they
will compete with whatever else is in the colon. When the state of the colon
is returned to normal, an individual will always effortlessly go to the
bathroom once for every major meal eaten the day prior.
So it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your
supplementation. I also make kombucha on occassion, and use Kefir, but I don't
see either as being powerful enough to act to restore serious digestive
disorders.
Kind Regards,
Jason
