Can we breed a probiotic from a over the shelf product?
Answer:
mmmm, the only safe way to really "breed" live cultures is to make kombucha. do a google search for "kombucha" and you will find someone who is selling a kit for you to start with.
You would still have to buy the milk. Probiotics are the esential enzymes that we need in our intestines for proper digestion of foods. Yogart is an excellent source of these enzymes and your body will maintaine them unless something kills them off like Antibiotics see the resemblance in the names? Anyway some infections of viruses such as flu will also eliminate them( by design) to flush out the dead pesties therefore diahrea. It's a good thing after you have been infected with a bug. It shows that your body is killing the bugs. Unfortunately many many other [Medications] also strip the enzymes which is why diahrea is mentioned as a side affect. So if you are having regular stools then everything should be fine until you need some help again. For better info on a health Gut as he puts it get the book The Maker's Diet by Jordan S. Rubin
Probiotics are active bacteria. They are healthy to have in your colon. Some will readily grow in store bought milk. Somer are more delicate.
Heat i qt milk to almost boiling. Cool to about 100 degrees F, mix the contents of a couple caapsules, or 1/4 tsp active bacteria, incubate in strofoam cooler for 24 hrs, placing asome containers of very hot water in the cooler to insure it won't cool too rapidly. It will smell and taste like yougurt but alot thinner ( no additives). Can be used in place of milk on cereal etc. 1/2 cup or more per day.
