Acidophilus Lactobacillus- "healthy bacteria" when we eat foods that may contain small trace amounts of salmonella or other types of food poisoning the bad bacteria in our intestinal tract blooms. When this happens the healthy bacteria is attacked. Everytime the Dr. puts us on Antibiotics the medication that is supposed to be helping us is also causing damage. Antibiotics do not know the difference between good and bad bacteria, therefore they kill both. Ever notice that after a long duration (7-10 days) of antibiotic use that you suffer dysentery, constipation, abdominal pains or yeast infections. This is because the healthy flora in your intestinal tract and stomach has been nearly wiped out. Next time you are put on a regime of antibiotics, immediately go to the local healthfood store and start on this. There is another way to get this ingredient, by eating lots of yogurt. It has also been found that this "healthy bacteria" also reduces levels of bad cholesterol.
