Lactobacillus sporogenes are good for some folk, but it has not helped me.Probiotics Plus helped me,but can no longer get it,it had different strains in it and fermented with Goat's milk.

If people would focus on natural haling methods, this wouldn't be as much of an issue. Most important is eating enough vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from raw fruits, vegetables, and grains. Since that is often hard to do, a whole food supplement called Juice Plus+ (©) is available. When people do get sick, they need to see what natural supplements are available. When I get sick I make sure I get chiropractic adjustments more frequently and take Silver Biotics. Along with paying even more attention to what I eat, how much I sleep, and controlling stress.

The expanded need for probiotics is due to overuse of antibiotics. Why is there a need for antibiotics in the first place? In the allopathic world, it is the only thing that will clear up a nasty staph infection. However, my naturepath cleared one up in our family with homeopathics and botanicals. No trace of staph now, whatsoever. And no antibiotics were involved. We take probiotics when needed, but our gut health is great on the healthy diets we eat and the exercise we get.

Nice to read every once in a while someone actually getting the conclusion correct; however how long until it is SPUN for bad purposes?

I know that probiotics can help with prevention and treatment of C.Diff. What I have trouble with is M.D.s who will not prescribe it until the patient had been diagnosed with it. And when you mention it to them the get mad at you. I think doctors need to be held more accountable for their practices.

This is excellent information to present to doctors when antibiotics must be used, especially in the elderly. As a telemetry nurse, I've seen first hand how often this population ends up in the hospital in isolation far longer than the original reason for hospitalization warranted, all because of c-diff. Some of the doctors are beginning to prescribe probiotic supplements to their patients whenever they prescribe antibiotics, it's only a matter of time until this practice becomes the norm.
