The name that Terao Higa coined is Essential Microorganisms.  The company that 
marketed the original formula in the USA is called Sustainable Community 
Development Probiotics.   The founder trained with Higa.   Other companies have 
copied Higa's work.   So far as I know, none of them have the same vision.   

 Higa's book really is amazing and is essential reading.   He really believes 
that EM is an earth-saving revolution.  His volunteer work in the 
radiation-stricken areas is evidence of that.
