Also there is information that one of the probiotic organisms in Primal Defense is actually dangerous (b.lichenformis) it is associated with cancers.
Anyone considering using PD should do some research, so they have enough information to make a considered decision, rather than rely on the marketing of the company and its product(s).

Please give a link to the information you mention above. I asked Jeeves and got nothing on it.  I would really like to know, because I swear by Primal Defense.  Until I tried that, I never could get control of my acid reflux problems.  Even now, if I forget to take it for about three days, I am soon back to square one.  I also read recently that this is common, because the good bacteria are not able to live in one's system for more than about three days, but that by adding inulin which is a prebiotic to the diet also, it provides the nutrition and support that allows the little critters in the Primal Defense to live and colonize instead of being wiped out.  I am waiting for an order of that to arrive and will try it right away when it does.

However...if one or more of the organisms in Primal Defense are truly harmful, who would want them to set up housekeeping within for a long period, anyway???!!

I find that kefir made with raw milk also provides some relief for acid reflux.  Maybe that is the best in the long run -- nothing but good food, full of the organisms that occur as a result of the fermentation process.   Since the raw milk is very expensive, it has to last a week or two as I make kefir and  use it for nothing else.  I recalled the CS in the milk experiments run recently by one of our number (sorry, forget which, so cannot give much deserved attribution!) and now I put a bit of CS in the bottle after opening it, and it lasts perfectly for days longer than it does without.  CS in a gallon of regular pastuerized milk allowed us to use it for two weeks past the expiration date stamped on the bottle!!   With no grandchildren visiting during that time, it had to last much longer than usual -- and it certainly did!!

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide on the b. lichenformis issue, sol!
