RE - Poopulate

That is a fecal transfer of good bacteria - primarily for someone afflicted w/ a bowel or stomach problem i.e. irritable bowel syndrome.
This morning on ' Fresh Air ' the CBC radio , early rising program , the researcher was explaining the ' probiotic ' nomenclature

The Good : the research and clinical trials have definitely shown that probiotic treatment works and may prove to be many times more important than the pharmaceutical landslide currently in vogue.
The range of problems may include Alzheimer's , heart disease and surely cancer.
The Bad : the term probiotic has become a buzz word and labels are misleading.
The Ugly : research , as in , you do the research.
TLC is the reminder

Type  -                 what is the name of the bacteria
Leverage -            what advantage occurs when you have this                                     bacteria in you
Concentration -      at least 1 billion ( added bacteria ) are needed                               to be of benefit and ten billion is desired

Study labels and go on line for names etc

BTW - eating fermented foods does provide a different bacterial environment. However , in general , the effects are so short term that these foods should not really be considered ' probiotic '

There will be more to follow  - my interest has been piqued
I will consult the I Ching   (  kidding , kidding ! )

Now , how to probiotic my way to less allergy rash
The situation has improved - burning was almost non - existent last night , a big improvement.
This morning , the pimples are reddish ( healing ) and smaller
The patient will live but is he any smarter ( Duh , doubt it )

To be fair , I've been wearing pants and long sleeves to garden and do yard work , honest !!!
Its , that one time , that I bent down to pull some weeds in the front walk garden and my forearm touched the plant leaves                    ( marigolds ? as in related to chrysanthemums  )

I WILL BE SMARTER , I WILL BE SMARTER

Weather : Rain came in buckets last night ,  along w/ thunder but we saw no lightning. We should be warmer and stickier but the slight chance of precipitation remains

This week end is a holiday , called Civic day or the Civic long week end
Civic Holiday , is the height of summer and says , its all down hill from here , summerwise

In Eastern Canada , school kids know that when the Canadian National Exhibition ( CNE or the ' Ex ' ) begins , its back to school time
The largest fair in Canada , the Ex runs for some 15 days in permanent buildings and temporary units on the Lakeshore in western Totonto.
M and I have never been to the Ex , as a couple
This year is it , apparently , we are going , somehow , someway

Stay tuned for details of the adventure
