Hi Patman,

I had a horrible reaction to probiotics late last year into early this year. Which I put down to a problem in my gut and also imbalance in liver detox pathways. So I had then to deal with the reaction and eruption created by taking probiotics and for many months after I stopped them.

I know that they can be really helpful to some people, but there are indeed some risks attached to them and that might be more for those like myself who have liver imbalance and do not tend to keep up with the toxins released by more potent products and then become very toxic as a result.

I have also heard that it can be risky too in cases of mercury toxicity. Which may well be due to the displacement of bad bacteria and contained heavy metals, or perhaps the reaction of it on the mercury itself.

Not sure exactly, but I'd proceed very carefully to test for reactions and go slowly in case someone is like me and has trouble eliminating released toxins!
