Has anyone heard of a Japanese medicine called Lactobacillus
Productive Substance by Dr Hayakazu Higashihara? A friend of mine has
shared with me that it has cured many people from many different
illnesses. He is giving it to his daughter who may have a neurological
problem.

Lactobacillus is the bacteria that causes milk to go sour.

This is commercially available as YAKULT. It is a fermented milk drink. According to the "blurb"; "The key to Yakult is the unique culture or bacteria - Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. This help balance the beneficial and harmfulbacteria in the intestine..." All it claims is to help maintain a natural intestinal rythm, and it tastes nice too. Lots of info on the WEB about it.

The acidophillus wafers that we bought last weekend contain
lactobacillus.
We got them to use for my son when he goes on antibiotics,
as they wreak havoc with his system.

On the rare occasions when I have to take antibiotics for some reason,
I always end up having to go on a live-culture yoghurt diet for a
week or so after the antibiotics are gone to get my digestive system
back in working order (actually, yoghurt and rice - dry toast is good,
too).
