I'm hoping you can help. I finished taking a months dose of probiotics and now I have loose watery stools. Nothing has been solid for about 2.5 weeks now and I'm concerned that I may have compromised my digestive track. Have you ever had a client complain of such a "side effect"? Should I be worried? Your opinion is appreciated...

@oodnac : Amygdalin (hydrogen cyanide, benzaldahyde & glucose). Amygdalin, as rendered and refined from the pips contained within apricot stones, is known as Laetrile.] Amygdalin (vitamin B17) destroys errant trophoblastic/placental/malign­ant growth. One should not allow the healing process to run rampant in the first place. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

@KenyanObama Huh, I live in one of the best fed countries in the world, and I have had Colorectal Cancer (cured). I do not eat processed food, have a huge garden, and am very fit. Cancer is not caused simply because of a lack of vitamins. Developed countries eat much better than 3rd world countries but have higher incidents of Cancer. Our industrial development has spawned many illnesses. We do not die of maltrution but of industrail diseases.

This is pointless. Cancer is a vitamin-deficiency disease. See the film: "World Without Cancer."

Dr. Linda Rabeneck, I'm a huge fan of yours. You are doing greqt things to bring more awareness and less shame about colorectal cancer in Canada. I wish we Americans could stop turning our minds away from getting screened. All my best to you and all the others who shame and embarrassment and getting screened and LIVING!
