It's fascinating info but I haven't tried any of the health products. I don't know if it will be helpful for people with Lyme or if it will cause adverse reactions.
For people who are on the salt C protocol - the fermented salt may be of interest!
Anyone heard of this or tried it?

Check this out, guys... this may be helpful. They make probiotics, antioxidants & a salt with EM, as well as other products.
I've read some good things about Efficient Microbes.
I'm going to try some of these products soon.
I was just wondering if anyone has heard of them.

At one point ....... long ago I believe Gigi was taking about Efficient Microbes from SCD.

I did a search & it was for the Probiotic version of EMs. I'm not familiar with the history but they also make other products from the EMs.
I'm particularly interested in the EM-X version since it is an antioxidant. There are several studies about it in regards to cancer & other health issues.
Probiotics are good but there are other applications of EMs, too.
The research on EM-X has continued from 1997 to 2001. In this presentation, a part of the results are summarized. The characteristics of EM-X can be summarized as shown below. In addition, our research can also be categorized into two parts.
A. Antioxidant action
1. The antioxidants in EMX are substances derived from the raw materials of plants, seaweed and rice bran; substances derived from the fermentation of various microorganisms (EM-1); and substances derived from secretions of the microorganisms.
2. The components derived from plants include saponin (a glucoside of triterpene), flavonoid, and g-olizanol.
3. Besides the above substances, vitamins were detected.
The above substances directly eliminate free radicals, and promote the action of free radical elimination of SOD by donating electrons to SOD.
B. New research findings
1. In radiation experiments in which free radicals are generated in a large amount, when DNA derived from E. coli was irradiated by strong g rays generated from a nuclear reactor, the residual non-destroyed gene signals far exceeded the destroyed gene signals in the presence of EM-X, and gene destruction was inhibited by 90%.
2. EM-X was potent in removing OH radicals, clearly showing antioxidant capability as a scavenger.
3. In EM-X, the minerals consist of a relatively large number of complex forms. These mineral complexes are associated with selective formation of strong free radicals against cancer cells, which results in damage of cancer cells.
This was proved by the experiment of irradiating E. coli super-coil type DNA with relatively weak g rays, in which a large quantity of CC type DNA remained intact (gene destruction inhibiting gene). If irradiation is conducted under the presence of large quantities of soluble metals, a large quantity of free radicals is produced, resulting in an opposite effect. However, DNA is not destroyed in EM-X treated group.
This may be due to the following; even in the presence of metallic ions, metallic organic complexes that are more potent in action bind with specific sites of the DNA, or there is selective action from protein binding.
Finally, we are now examining the feasibility to generate the data of a clinical trial entitled "Metabolism and safety of healthy subjects given EM-X" within 2 years.
A unique mixture of bacteria and yeasts forms the basis for a natural medicine with remarkable healing properties. EM-X is a Japanese concept with an exceptionally powerful anti-oxidative effect.
The medicine is amazingly effective in the treatment of a variety of diseases and can also be taken preventatively. Marco Visscher paid a visit to Japan, this magic potion's country of origin, in order to investigate the promising claims being made, not by enthusiastic amateurs, but by a group of experienced scientists.
He talked to people who prescribe the remedy as well as to Teruo Higa, the one-of-a-kind inventor of EM-X.
