Probiotics Can Be Unsafe

Submitted by Dr. JG Kaplan on Wed, 2010-01-13 10:07

When are Probiotics Unsafe?  When used instead of scientifically proven therapies, as shotgun approaches or in blind faith, obviously, but....

See "Report Slams Deadly Dutch Probiotic Study" by Hans van Maanen where it says: The medical-ethical committee should also have insisted on prior studies of the probiotic in animals and healthy volunteers, according to the IGZ. The IGZ inspectors conclude that contrary to the claim of the authors in their Lancet article, the study was not done according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP)"
