Do probiotics prevent childhood illnesses?
What an interesting question to pose. If this were true does that mean that antibiotics are truly detrimental to our children’s health? Personally, I feel that probiotics play a very important role in the key to health for all organ systems; not just the GI tract, and antibiotics destroy this opportunity for our immune system to develop balanced and in harmony.
