Yes, we are fans of additional acidophilus.  I hadn't heard of the seven
strain variety.  Interested.

An update on my "cold sore inside the mouth" adventure.  I kept up the CS
with echinacia and golden seal every two hours.  For pain I kept up the
feverfew.  This morning the sore was closing and the pain was down
appreciably.  As I sit here I can run my tongue into the area without pain
and can feel the strong closure of the sore.  Neat stuff.
I concur that gentle comments works wonders.  I have over 20 people
routinely taking cayenne as a cardiovascular system overhauler.  Works
great and we all feel so much better.  This morning my wife was complaining
about a headache as we headed into town to go to our local Growers Market.
I reached into my pocket, took out my film cannister of cayenne, put a
pinch in her palm, she licked into her mouth and in 15 minutes no headache!
 Works every time.  We discovered this use while in Denver, CO.  My wife
got "high altitude sickness" and was nauseaus and generally feeling
terrible.  I put a pinch of cayenne into a glass of water, had her drink it
down and she was without symptoms in about 1 hour.  Sure beats hell out of
the "cut, burn, and poison" system of practicing on us.
Since we are both survivors from cancer utilizing natural stuff to get
cured, we can preach the good word from a position of "been there, done
that" and present ourselves as living proof.
Kirk, you are living proof that CS is a viable cure for strep.  I value
that and I thank you very much for sharing.
Inside I feel the feelings of the Healer.  I do not ask for compensation
when I help others and I do it because something inside tells me it is the
right thing to do.  The reward of seeing someone no longer suffering is
such a great rush that there ain't enough bucks in the world to match the
good vibes.
I hope that I have helped.
