First of all there is no such thing as good bacteria and bad bacteria. There is such a thing as aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. However many types of bacteria can switch between these two methods of energy production depending on the environment. That is a bacteria that would be aerobic when out in the open, will switch to being anaerobic if in an area where there is no free oxygen.
But beyond that, one is not good and the other bad. The intestines are full of anaerobic bugs (such as yeast and bacteria). If it were not, you would not be able to digest, after all there is virtually NO free oxygen in your intestines. Anaerobic bacteria produce methane and hydrogen sulfide, and everyone knows that these are produced in the intestines at times. And aerobic bacteria can cause diseases, especially if they end up in the wrong place, like a vagina. What differentiates good bacteria from bad is if they cause disease or not. The normally good E Coli can be bad if genetically different than the norm (and they can kill, but without the good ones, you would likely be unable to digest fully), and even the "good" variety can be bad if they take up residence in the vagina or end up in the blood stream. Despite what you may have read, our testing showed that CS kills both anaerobic as well as anaerobic bacteria. That is good, because both can cause disease. Our testing also showed that CS loses its effectiveness if it is within a solid or partially solid matrix. Unless one has dysentery, such a matrix exists in the intestine. Thus the bottom line is that CS kills all germs pretty well, but is rather ineffective in the intestines unless one has dysentery. I don't think you could come up with a better discrimination than that as far as being just what one wants.
