How Do I Know Which Probiotic To Take?

The world of probiotics is extensive, including commercial probiotics and the plethora of food based probiotics such as kraut juice, sauerkraut, milk kefir, fermented garlic, fermented fish, salami, kimchi, Kombucha, probiotic pickles, dilly carrots and more. It’s difficult to know if they are a scam or which one to take, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.
The truth of the matter is, many food probiotics have undergone extensive testing, published in studies across the world. Some have shown to shut down MRSA, Staph, strep, C. diff, others have shown to digest glyphosate. Some have shown to reverse lactose intolerance and others have stopped the flu or the common cold dead in its tracks. Yet others are simply a waste of money.

We live in a world where everyone is sick. Our intestinal flora has taken a beating and our health symptoms show the suffering. Rebuilding that flora is done by supporting the microbiome in a manner specific to what each person needs. Using commercial probiotics and food-based probiotics is becoming commonplace, knowing which one to use when and how to use each, is a different story.
These questions are all answered in the new book Probiotic Foods Vs Commercial Probiotics.
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a medical doctor with two postgraduate degrees: Master of Medical Sciences in Neurology and Master of Medical Sciences in Human Nutrition and author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome says, “In her book Probiotic Foods Vs Commercial Probiotics (the author) has done the hard work of reviewing solid scientific literature on the use of probiotics for different clinical applications. She has compiled information not only about commercial probiotics, but very importantly about homemade fermented foods, such as kefir, yogurt, fermented breast milk and fermented vegetables. This book will be a valuable tool for clinicians, Certified GAPS Practitioners and other health practitioners to deepen their knowledge about how to use probiotics in clinical settings. The book is full of useful clinical gems, and I am sure that even a seasoned clinician will find something new to learn in its pages. I would like to thank Becky for doing this work! I warmly recommend this book!” (Campbell-McBride, Natasha. “Re: from Dr Natasha.” Message to Becky Plotner 19 January 2019. E-mail.)
Sally Fallon, President of The Weston A. Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions said, “I thought it was just excellent – one of the best I’ve seen, and believe me a lot of books come across my desk. I just thought it was excellent. I’m particularly pleased on the emphasis on food, using fermented foods. I was very interested in what she had to say about probiotic supplements and some of the additives they contain.”
For a limited time, the book is available at a discounted price for the first few introductory weeks. It is currently available in Kindle format and will be available in hard copy soon.
