Thank you so much for the Kefir spores information. My kefir spores use to be just like yours, gelatinous and big. Is that the way the ones are from Gem Cultures? My doctor got the ones he gave to me from a foreign country as a gift to him for helping out some nomadic people in 1961. more...

Goat milk yoghurt may not be as thick as commercial yoghurt, it will be a true yoghurt since virtually all of the lactose has been digested by the bacterial culture and further lactose digestion will not be required by intestinal cells. more...

Why should anyone with dysbiosis be concerned about the availability of raw milk? Because fresh raw milk seems to be better for the intestinal track than pasteurized milk and it is not Pasteurized or Homogenized. more...

Undenatured whey is whey that has not been heated enough to ruin its healing properties. Heating destroys the immunoglobulins and breaks the peptides. whey will also help resolve anemia. Those with AIDS and CFIDS have found it invaluable. more...

Toxins are excreted through our skin, in the urine, from the lungs, and via the liver and gallbladder into the feces. As we age, unless we take care of ourselves, we are storing toxins produced by our own metabolism, and those produced in our unhealthy intestines by bacteria and yeast. more...

He said that the link between Autistic Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction (CFIDS) is a lack of blood flow to […] more...

Following the Feingold diet plan will benefit these kids. Symptoms of PST sulfate deficiency are reddened ears, night sweats, black under eyes, excessive thirst, facial flushing, and odorous bed clothes.

Often the struggle to take care of an autistic child is overwhelming. Sometimes there comes a point when the parents must face the fact that everything they have tried has not helped. Yet it is so hard to give up hope and trying. Not everyone can do that. No one should criticize a parent who has tried and failed at this enormous challenge. more...

There is a higher incidence of precocious puberty among the autistic than the norm. Perhaps it is because many have a phenol-sulfotransferase problem, which would make it more difficult for them to eliminate environmental estrogens and pesticides.

Transfer factor is a component of mother’s first milk (colostrum) that provides immune system messenger molecules. If a transfer factor is “specific,” that means it contains immune components specific to a particular pathogen. For example, if you have a particular strain of yeast overgrowth, a specific transfer factor product could be made that targets that strain of yeast. more...
