My e-mail has been a little sloooooow. So this may not be too timely or
even relevant, but.........

<< Isn't good bugs and bad bugs a relative thing? Why would some bacteria
be killed and not others when the causative agent is from environmental
effects? Seems to me that a mixed bag of bacteria living under similar
conditions would be more or less susceptible to the same things, which
is why antibiotics kill off entire populations, not just "bad" bugs.

I'll check this out with the physiologist who explained it to me--some bugs
thrive in one environment, others in another. I'll get back to you.

I've heard this too. I don't have a source, but I do know that this
concept is the basis for the development of Dyanmite's product 'Dynapro'.
It's probiotic that has no live cultures in it. It contains primarily
distilled H20, lactobacillus extract and minimal amounts of B-vites & a
couple other vites. The lactobacillus and other "good" bugs like this
'medium'. The purpose of the product is to condition the environment of
the gut, then the "good bugs" will grow. It's the basically the same as
Pro-bi, except without the herbs. (When ABC spit off from Dynamite, they
had to change the formula some because of patent or something like that).
I'd be really interested in any research citation on this.
