But how do you explain Brooks Bradley's work with dogs which showed that 75 percent of their beneficial flora was wiped out by daily doses of CS -- I think equivalent to 2 ounces a day for humans? His is the only actual testing I've heard of of the effect of CS on beneficial flora in living beings. Do you know of any other?
