And to answer one question you asked, I think I've heard it said by
people who've tried it, that doses on the order of a few pints were
sufficient to transit the empty intestines and control whatever bug was
causing the diarrhea.
Hi Mike. Thanks for your kind and measured response. As always. I guess I
wasn't on the list when this topic (CS kills all bacteria, good and bad) was
discussed, or if I was I didn't relate it to the conversation at hand. My
question to Marshall has a real basis: My 83-year old Mom gets sick a lot.
Mostly viruses. I don't suppose she has much of an immune system left at this
point. The doctors are perfectly willing to write her prescriptions for
antibiotics, which don't work and which she cannot afford. I have convinced
her, over
a period of YEARS, to take CS -- both as a preventitive and as treatment. But
she's a Nervous Nelly about taking anything, and for a long time would only
take a *sip* for fear of what *it would DO to her*. Very frustrating. At any
rate, I finally have her drinking up to a cup or so a couple times a day if
she's sick. And what I was worried about, when I read Marshall's post, was
that
I was setting her up for bowel trouble if CS will kill beneficial flora in
the intestines. A good case of diarreah (sp?) could kill her -- she only
weighs
90 lbs. So. Thanks for the info regarding quantity. The most that she
would take in one day would be a pint. And thanks for taking the time to
clarify
the information on the effect of CS on all bacteria. MA
