I was thinking of going with the standard acidophilus and bifidus cultures, but thought I'd see if anyone had any particular product they liked.

My thoughts are posted under Berner

The only update is that I've heard some....less then positive things about the products made by primal defense in a recent avant thread (not sure I believe them, but I still think they are unnecessary in any case).

I have the perfect recomendation for you. Kefir. I make my own. There are around 100 different types of beneficial micro organisms in kefir. They all live together in a symbiotic relationship in kefir grains. Plop them in some milk, and they next day you have kefir. Repeat. You never have to sterilize anything, and the culture is self sustaining without doing anything special.

I aquired a taste for it while I was in the Caucuses. Any kefir you buy in the store isn't real kefir. They are made from a commercial starter cuture that only has a few types of micro organisms.

Elrond,

Where would I get real kefir at?

You can make your own. I can send you some kefir grains if you like to get started. Where are you?

Kansas City, Missouri... I can send some $ your way for your trouble.

does anyone know if the volatile fatty acids GI bacteria make differ from a longevity perspective acetic propionic butyric are the three ones that I think about read a journal article that notes a tenth human calories from volatile fatty acid absorption a fun probiotic item at newscientist.com a scientist developed a cattle probiotic that minimizes their greenhouse emissions a product which if applied was more emissions reducing than a vast figure like near near a tenth functional global warming activity

I would be interested in the journal you site in this post about the cattle probiotic. Name volume and page number if possible.

Thanks

vaccine does this
Based on our current experimental results, we expect the commercial vaccine will be able to reduce methane emissions by about 20 per cent in these animals

If all cattle worldwide were vaccinated, global methane emissions would be cut by about five per cent

Treon: that makes cow methane double digit pt

Methane emissions from farm animals account for about 15% of Australia's greenhouse gas production

now the scientist developed part: I have a visual memory of a new scientist article with an australian woman researcher getting a prize as a result of her cattle probiotic http://www.newscient...=mg17723862.800 I like the immunization kangaroo ideas better though Treon
