Probiotics – Good or Bad?

Don Chisholm, the man behind the probiotics I use in my top bars and powders, has this to say about a recent Four Corners piece on probiotics:
There has been a lot of talk lately about how ineffective Probiotics can be as stated on the ABC Four corners story.
We agree with a lot of what they presented as there are a lot of companies using laboratory bred bacteria, of which many are patented, which means they are no longer a natural bacteria.
To get a patent you must have a unique difference, so therefore these bacteria are no longer a natural Probiotic and may be more prone to being less viable and the question has to be asked, “does your body recognise altered bacteria?”
Nuferm’s Probiotics are food based, not laboratory based and are actually Organic, plus they have been stressed to survive up to 55 degrees heat and temperatures as low as freezing, also will survive 12% alcohol.
We test every batch for pathogens and even test for Gluten free so you can be assured of the highest quality when purchasing from Nuferm probiotic foods.
The show on the ABC Four Corners stated information that relates to laboratory constructed Probiotics.
Laboratory bacteria or Synthetic bacteria function differently and are quite often not vital as they are not supported by a Prebiotic.
Nuferms probiotics are supported by Prebiotics so the lifespan of the product has been proven to last over 7 years.
As Scientist Rob Knight suggests we are more bacterial DNA than our own Human DNA, we are actually hosts for our bacteria.
That being said they must play a significant role to be a majority not a minority in our lives.
Bacteria are the only components our bodies cannot manufacture.
Therefore replacing your gut flora daily is vitally important to maintain immune, mental and overall health.

Pediatrics Journal says to stop calling breastfeeding natural

Breast Feeding Baby
Fans of the AVN writes:
“If you ever wondered whether the world has gone completely and utterly crazy, wonder no more. In a recent article in the journal, Pediatrics, doctors are being urged to stop ‘claiming’ that breastfeeding is natural.
In fact, “The authors have started a public campaign to end the positive use of the word natural, claiming that it is associated with such “problematic” practices as home birth, homeschooling and the rejection of GMO foods, and that natural parenting movements are interfering with vaccination efforts.”
Go natural, I say! And down with doctors who want to discourage the positive connotations of what parents instinctively know to be true:
Breast is best;
GMOs are bad
Natural parenting is respectful of both parent and baby
and vaccination efforts SHOULD be interfered with if they involve any form of compulsion, coercion or suppression of information.
MD”
The article states:
“Studies have shown that anti-vaccination sentiment tends to overlap with reliance on and interest in complementary and alternative medicine, skepticism of institutional authority, and a strong commitment and interest in health knowledge, autonomy and healthy living practices.”
I think they have something there! 🙂

Dear "Skeptics," Bash Homeopathy and Bigfoot Less, Mammograms and War More

Yesterday I spoke at the Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism, NECSS, a “celebration of science and critical thinking” held May 12-15 in New York City. Philosopher Massimo Pigliucci, whom I met recently, got me invited, and he might regret that, because I decided to treat the skeptics skeptically. I originally titled my talk “Skepticism: Hard Versus Soft Targets.” The references to “Bigfoot” in the headline above and text below were inspired by a conversation I had with conference Emcee Jamy Ian Swiss before I went on stage. He asked what I planned to say, and I told him, and he furiously defended his opposition to belief in Bigfoot. He wasn’t kidding. I hadn’t brought up Bigfoot, but I decided to mention him in my talk. Swiss didn’t let me take questions, so I promised the audience that I would post the talk here (slightly edited) and would welcome skeptical comments or emails. –-John Horgan
