Not fair! I, like any hearing people would like to research/access information in a convenient way regarding our health. Why isn't this voice recording not on transcript to be accessible for all? Thanks Willow Hey

Does anyone know how many drops and how to dilute? I had read somewhere that if you had corporal tunnel that soaking your hand in H202 was wonderful.

We serve mixed with herbal tea or fruit juice. Culturing your own is simple and cost effective. Fermented foods [think traditional sauerkraut or kimchi] have same or better health benefits since the foods don't lose nutrient value as with cooking. Cultures For Health dot com has great info and resources on those things. As for grain sensitivities, some people swear by sprouting and/or soaking. We do a bit of both, because it takes some planning and we work fulltime. Nourishing Traditions is a good read to get the basics, but it could be overwhelming for some. There's no one real magical solution but Real Food. Previous Poster Janet is on to something saying how we sterilize all the healthy symbiotic nutrients from our foods. Just make the changes you're comfortable with and see where it takes you! Water kefir and kombucha are dairy free sources of probiotics. We serve mixed with herbal tea or fruit juice.

If you buy 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide instead of the acidphilus tablets which is ingestible (unlike the 7 percent topicle H202 that is not meant for ingesting) you will find it is the least expensive (you only need 3 drops per quart) You have to be very careful though handling it with gloves, it can burn the skin. I use dish gloves when I put a few drops into a quart of water or juice daily and drink it. The Only place I could find food grade H202 in my area (Ann Arbor, MI) is the Better Health Food Store across from Trader Joe's on Washtenaw Ave. Most places sell it only in the topical 7 percent grade form. Another thing, most people don't know is it is the enzymes in milk that are killed during pasturization that help digest lactose... you may want to try raw milk from goats or cows and make your own yogurt with kefir and raw milk cheeses too to avoid lactose intolerance. To make your own yogurt... All you need it a glass of raw milk and a little piece of kefir placed on the edge... the kefir will grow and live forever. You can break off a piece and share with friends. :-D Just put the milk and kefir on the counter overnight everynight and walla you got your own yogurt fresh made daily. BTW - another thing most people don't know is that human breast milk contains natural occuring hydrogen peroxide. Colostrum has the highest levels. That's why babies get the best benefit from breast feeding. But if a child has allergies to breast milk... it may be the mother is not producing enough of the main enzymes in her body that come from food she eats passed onto her baby to help the baby digest the fat, sugar or protein in their own body... Enzymes in our bodies are divided into two groups and created by our cells: digestive enzymes and metabolic enzymes. There are three types of digestive enzymes amylase, protease and lipase. Amylase, found in saliva, pancreatic and intestinal juices; breaks down carbohydrates (sugars). Protease, found in stomach, pancreatic and intestinal juices; helps digest proteins. Lipase, found in stomach and pancreatic juices also enters the body via food we eat; breaks down fats. So if you don't produce enough of these enzymes naturally. You need help from good raw food sources that give you those enzymes. I just wish we had more raw resources available on the market. I'm sad to say, I get my own raw milk from a farm up north who is not presently accepting any more cow share contracts at this time. BUT Whole Foods does sell raw milk ROSEWOOD Cheddar Cheese - that is an excellent source of dairy food! It comes in mild, medium and sharp. We buy the mild and eat it daily for snacks and at bedtime. It does not hurt my one son and husband who are both lactose intolerant. when probiotics break down in your belly it makes

Dairy-free probiotics? Yes to both questions! For children: There are specific probiotic supplements available for all ages, actually. See the box for dosage details, or contact the company directly for more specific information. Of course, food is a great way to get them too – look for yogurt with live active cultures. Dairy-free: Yes, many probiotic formulas may contain dairy, but there ARE dairy-free probiotic products available. One name to look for is SOLGAR. They have several probiotic powders and capsules that fit the bill. They have children's products too. Thanks! Probiotics for kids? Dairy-free probiotics? Yes to both questions!
