Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics Professional Formula with 5 Year Fermented Prebiotics, Live Active Probiotics and The only Product with Postbiotic Metabolites, 120 Capsules

The "loading dose" some people describe in the reviews is something I could not find being recommended by any reputable doctor. I saw a few anti-vaxxer types recommend it and that was it.In the interest of pseudo-science, I tried it anyway. I took a box in a week. That was some expensive poo.Results? Well, the eczema I was caring for went away completely (maybe it would have gone on its own) and I can eat ice cream and cheese again (I've been lactose intolerant for decades). I'll probably have to keep taking the probiotic to keep eating milk products, but I'll go to the normal dosage now that my first box is gone and the "loading" phase is over. I won't ever really know if that "loading phase" was necessary or if somebody's advice just cost me an extra $40. You decide there.It is very difficult to find good information on probiotics on the 'net. I can tell you that a gastroenterologist recommended them to a close relative after colon cancer. He looked me in the eye and told me to take them too. Here I am. Again, this is not medical advice. Don't try to glean medical advice off the net or you might end up missing a section of colon. Got it? I'm just offering anecdotes.Why did I end up with Dr. Ohhiras? I liked the idea that they were essentially delivered in their own growth medium. It's nice that they do not require refrigeration. It's nice that Dr. Ohhira had a PhD (he's dead now) and actually studied fermentation and bacteria. You can find his research papers online.Do other brands have PhD's studying their own probiotic strains? Undoubtedly.Did I have good luck with this one? Oh yes.I have vague hope that in a year I'll be able to eat wheat again too.Did it cure everything I ever had? No. Of course not. The claims made about probiotics are ridiculous because supplements are not regulated and they are allowed to make all kinds of claims. If you've taken some anti-biotics, or you aren't digesting some things properly, or your doctor told you to take some, or you have specific health issues, then these appear to be a good brand to use. I know they are doing something because I couldn't eat milk products before - and now I can.I guess that's the best endorsement I can give it. I'm going to eat pizza now. BTW, if this doesn't work for you - Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula has a similar action - these probiotics aren't unique in allowing the lactose intolerant to eat dairy - I just like that they deliver more strains of beneficial bacteria than only the ones that take care of milk.

Love this product!!!!

These probiotics are the best I've ever taken. There are things happening in my gut - lots of movement happening. A little nausea sometimes but I can remedy that pretty quickly with my essential oils. There are things coming out of me that I'm so grateful are coming out. I've been cleansing off & on for about 17 years in different ways, but these are making more of a significant visible impact than a lot of other products I've tried. I started out with the original formula and it didnt really seem to be doing much, yet I knew I needed something strong due to the stuff happening in my body & mind. I'm so glad I gave these a whirl. I think it's very possible I have a big parasite or lets just make it plural - parasites. But this nex part is highly interesting to me. After I started taking these, within the first week I started noticing some pulsation feelings, kinda like 'knock knock' in the areas just above & just below my navel - not a pulse - this is more random. This can go on for a few minutes to a half hour. Then I also started noticing physical movements from left to right, and one side of my navel will rise up higher than the other as I'm looking down at my belly - it really doesnt seem like poop moving around. This is different. I'm thinking these probiotics are awakening these things in my belly because they don't like what's being put into the environment, so maybe they are on high alert and trying to move away & hide somewhere. My sugar cravings have really started dissapating & I'm using other cleansing essential oils too. I'm thinking after another week or two, I may try some organic turpentine (pine oil) to see if that clears out any of these things. There is a lot of positive info about using organic turpentine to clear out parasites for people into natural healing. There is a very specific protocol, as like many other things, it can be toxic/deadly in high doses. I have tried it before but I didn't see any action like I'm seeing now, but it did make me slightly nauseated. I also heard frozen organic castor oil capsules can expel them too. Anyhow, I'm very glad I gave these a try. Definitely recommend them to anyone with gut issues.
