Interestingly, probiotics side effects mean that the good bacteria are working! Here are the most common side effects:
Assuming the adverse effect is relatively minor and does not persist for more than 14 days, then we should be celebrating these side effects! As stated on the box of Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics.
Temporary reactions such as minor bloating or a mild laxative or constipating effect are signs that the beneficial bacteria are remodeling, detoxifying and improving the gut environment.
Also we should remember, that while these side effects are unpleasant, they are mild compared to those of many pharmaceutical drugs.
One possible way to reduce the side effects is to reduce the dosage. If you were taking two probiotic pills daily, try taking only one probiotic pill per day. As your body becomes accustomed to the lower dosage, then you can increase the dosage to higher levels. But taking too many probiotic CFUs too quickly may result in probiotic overdose.2. stay hydrated
Water should help with all the side effects. This is because if you examine the list of side effects:
All of these side effects are ways your body detoxifies, or are signs that your body is having trouble detoxifying. And water is the ultimate detoxification agent. So to help you body detox, stay hydrated!3. give your body time to adjust
Taking probiotics can kill tons of bad bacterium, replacing them with the good. This can be quite a shock to our body! So give it at least two weeks of feeling the side effects. At that point it makes sense to seek medical attention.
your information was very helpful .thank you
Yes, I nothing iced that it is helping my son with his nasal drip immediately the nest morning, bit a back rash occurred causing him to itch, but I figure it was detoxification since he isn't allergic to any of the raw vegetarian ingredients. Thank you. All other websites say to stop if rash occurs, whereas naturalist say not to…but I like the decrease amount and lots of liquid.
May God Bless you, Whoever you are. You made my day! I was worrying that I could be dealing with something serious here but they're all the sideeffects of probiotic medicines that I was prescribed.
Thanks for that info, I have really bad IBS and was wondering if the pills were causing it to get worse until I read this. Thanks sooo much for putting tis info out there. It has helped me to better understand the probiotics. :)
After being on a round of antibiotics, I began giving my (2 yr old) daughter some probiotics – (via a mult-vitamin which includes it & a raw, organic yogurt). After a couple of days, she is experiencing a rash on the back of her neck…. I think I will scale back on her dose. I'll also monitor the rash & hope it doesn't get worse!
Thank you
Thanks so much I have been experiencing all the above.
Have also had a really gurgly stomach and feeling quite nauseated is this normal?
Glad I am not alone
This is comforting to know as I have just started taking Restora, which is prescription strength and have had some itching and a couple of bumps or rashes appear. very mild though. I have been diagnosed with a parasite and I am taking 3 rounds of biltricide split apart 3 weeks each round. I am also taking adrenplus, b complex, vitamin D, magnesium, and armour thyroid after testing at alternative dr.
Thanks and a reply would be greatly appreciated.
how long does it take for the body to adjust & get over the bloating?
Ive been itching like crazy I thought a bunch of bugs were biting me… I hope this goes away because my stomach feels better, in finally going to the bathroom normally, so I don't want to discontinue…
I have not been able to eat fruit for years, without getting uti. I also have been suffering from kidney problems, severe infections and stones. Have been on antibiotics for sinus infections and cipro for all the kidney infections, for so many years, I feel there is no hope.
I started to take some of the Dr. Wolz probiotics, one with each meal. I got congested ears and a really sore throat. I also got very tired early in the evening and I got quite achey. Is this sort of thing normal? I am drinking a lot of water. I only took one today and none of the symptoms returned as bad as they were but they are still here.
I was giving my 15 month old 1tsp bio k probiotics. The full serving is 50 billion (yogurt form) my husband accidentally gave him the whole thing while I was out. I'm worried because its definitely too much for a toddler. Should I be alarmed. What should I do??
I've been taking probiotics and a digestive enzyme for a week and just developed a rash on my neck and my stomach seems bloated. Thanks for the advice, I'm glad to hear that's a sign that it's working. I'll drink lots more fluids!
Your remarks have really helped. I'm going into the 2nd
week of two pills a day. I have been suffering with my back
now and taking this I see a lot of side effects are from starting off with two probiotics. I'm having a lot of trouble
sleeping, gas bloated stomach hurting. I assume these
pills are making me hyper therefore I can't sleep.
Shall I cut down to one a day for a month? I'm also taking
Tamoxien (cancer drug and heart) Several friend highly
recommend these pills. I drink alot of fluid. How long will
the bloating last? Gas?
How long do you normal experience these side effects?
What if I have only taken one (Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, 85 billion cultures, we were instructed to take 3 a day) & it is already causing diarrhea?
After taking probiatic I am going through very bad time. 3 times in emergency. Went through so many tests. Dr. Couldn't find anything. Gurgling , burping stomach,constipation, lost appetite, lost weight. What's going on with me . Is this die off
I took 1 Synthol by Andrew …. I got very sick with all the side effects you mentioned above. I couldn't get out of the bed or go to work. Extreme stomach cramps. It was severe. I took only one capsule. I had a live blood analysis and this person said I have a very acidic body that means candida was taking over my body. I alkalizer my body and I got better but now I'm craving for sugar again.
Not sure which probiotic brand shall I take. I'm afraid to go through that pain again. I'm taking Dr Mercola's probiotic but I don't think it helps because I got a common women's problem I got antibiotic for.
Can you recommend me one please? I appreciate it. Thank you, Bridget.
Hi,my boy is currently 7months 3 weeks. He has recently lost his appetite in milk intake. Can he consume probiotic? Will it helps to gain weight? He has constipation problem since I introduced solid food during his 6 months old. Will this situation be worse if I would like to let him to consume Probiotic?
Thank You!
ppl with compromised immuno systems and leaky guts synd. should be not be using ANY probiotics in the beginning of their treatments.
I have an Hiatus Hernia which is causing many problems(uncontrolled gasses, burps and farts from top and bottom)I went to see Doctor who prescribed TuZen Probiotics, the pharmacy didn't have the medicine but they had something else from Life called probiotic Acidophilus, I started taking them 4 days ago and seems that the problem is resolved already, I am tempted to stop the treatment because it has a very bad side effect, which nobody mentions it except one website of many. As soon as i take the medicine a few minutes after I get very bad shakes, I am freezing and I am out for a good ten hours, it is called flu like symptoms. Thought you should know and maybe add it so people can know what to expect.
My 3 yr old is having issues he takes culturelle everyday and Drinks a yogurt drink. He had been sick most of the month with a cold flu whatever. He was co stipated so I have him prune juice anda small dose of miralax and had not stopped pooping he has drank some Gatorade for the electrolites but not a lot of water. Does this sound like he needs to cut back on the yogurt kefir?
I started taking probiotic and 3 days later I found I m feeling extra pressure for urinate evan I m a dialysis patient
I too have a hiatal hernia & have been really sick with shakes & then get really really sleepy. My stomach is awful too. i normally would be bloated by mid morning – didn't matter what I ate & now its not bloated just highly irritated, me too for that matter. I have been on Floragen3 for 3 days & usually by night I feel better but I am producing a lot of gas after dinner. Cant break the capsules so I can only try every other day in hopes of this getting better as I do want this to work. Thank you for the info.
i m using about 4 days probiotics and candida diet,but i have teribble pijn with left side of mijn rib and backache also my immune system is down,is it normal??
I started taking probiotics three days ago and the only 'cleansing' effect I've noticed is that I have to pee like a thousand times a day. Haha. An exaggeration, but noticeably more often anyway.
I'm in day four of taking keybiotics by Whole Body Research. I was feeling ok until today when I began feeling nausea, bloating, and a lot of grumbling sounds from my belly. On two occasions I went to the bathroom to throw up but the only thing that came out was a heavy secretion of saliva. I took two tablespoons of Pep-to Bismal and received minor release. I'm thinking tomorrow I will skip a day to see if I feel better and if so I will try an every other day regime. I was not expecting any side effects but this has been the only change to my diet.
Is it advisable to continue taking other vitamins and medications while adjusting to probiotics?
I had the stomach virus 3 days ago. Not up to par but was on my way. I only took one probiotic that was specially made for women. Can one pill cause more symptoms ? Almost feeling worse since taking it. The ones I had bought have to be refrigerated and the reviews were amazing on the brand..
I am experiencing an outbreak of rosacea, worse case ever and wonder if taking a probiotic for the past few weeks could be the cause. I do know that injections of cortisone I receive every 2 months make my face beet red as does over heating. What do you think?
Hi Evan,
My daughter is 11 years old and she has severe eczema and very dry skin. When she was born she has eczema after several months the eczema was gone. When she turn 10 year old and she was exposed to pool and sun the eczema came back and it was severe. Can she take culturelle probiotic? Does it help to her eczema?
She has low positive allergy with dairy and nuts. Thank you
Hope to hear from you and thank you so much.
Only my 2nd pill of Florify by Melaleuca and already my tummy has been making so much noise and pain. After 4 rounds in the toilet i felt cleansed and refreshed for my next meal. Is it a normal reaction for faeces to come out black?
Can probiotics cause nausea?
Hello……I started taking a product called Keybiotics 5 weeks ago for stomach inflammation and it has really helped but Four weeks in I began to develop some constipation. I usually go once a day, at least, and now I am going 4-5 times a week. Can constipation be a valid side effect until my body gets used to this supplement or should I try a diffent probiotic? thanks, Vicky
I am on my 5th Phillips Colon health probiotic pill and I have been dealing with pretty intense nausea. Stomach grumbling, bloating and gas too. I am trying to wait it out!! :-)
Hi-I am new the probiotic world, and just began taking them 2 days ago. I started the Jarro-Dophilus + FOS…is this a fairly good one to start with? I am only taking 1 pill a day bc I already have a sensitive stomach. But feel like I have had some not so normal cramping and gurgling noises…is this normal? And does it tend to cause lack of appetite/sleeplessness??
Thank you!!
I took "Probiotic caps" first two weeks I didn't get any side effects. The third week I'm having: diarrhea- lot of gas-bloating-cramps-sleepless(I didn't sleep 2 nights). I went to my physician and she advised to have colonoscopy test. I'm worrying a lot.
Any suggestion?
I have been taking your probiotics for 2 weeks, the last few days my stomach has been feeling tender and gurgly. Now I've been very tired and feeling nauseous. Should I back off to every other day and when do I start taking it everyday?
I just started using "Culturelle" capsules, 1 per day, and have noticed slight improvement in bowel movement quality.
However, I might be off, but for reason I am receiving slight discomfort in my right thumb and a little bit in my right wrist and arm today. It's happened 2 days in a row.
"Slight Discomfort" referring to nothing painful, not a temperature or even really a circulation issues. Maybe best described as a slight itch or slight heavyness.
I wish I knew how to treat this, and if in fact the Culturelle is the source. I think I take a day off and see if this symptom stops, and then I'll know it's likely from the Culturelle. But if so, that will make 2 treatments that cause deal-breaking side-effects for what may be a mild case of IBS. Levsin being the other I tried and it gave me clear cut case of an inflamed uvula.
Other than a religious consumption of water and high fiber diet, or possibly a different probiotic like Allign, which my doctor suggested, I'm kind of back at square one with treating a potential case of IBS.
Any thoughts/advice?
What about cystitis?!
I started taking "Trubiotics" two weeks ago and I went through the gas, loose stool, bloated stage. This lasted about nine days and then it was over. I am on a diet (1200 Cal.) and my cravings for carbs has nearly been eliminated since I started taking the probiotics. I do have one question about constipation, I haven't had a bowel movement in three days. It started just after the gas explosions quit and was wondering if this was common with taking probiotics? I don't feel bloated and my diet is mostly protien from fish.
I started taking Keybiotics about 5 days ago and my first few days were great but after that it has been a horrible experience, hot and cold flashes, nausea, dizzy, aches and pains, lower back soreness, sore throat, ears are stuffy, very lethargic and all that jazz. I am used to taking a 8 billion probiotic from NOW foods and the only thing I can think of is that this is much stronger and much more resiliant so i am getting a lot more active cultures in me. I have decided to drop to 1 pill every other day to help with the sysmptoms and get my system used to the CFU's
I had a colonic irrigation on Thursday and was advised to take forever active probiotic capsules, 2 capsules per day one am before or after food and one pm before I go to bed. Advised to take that dose for 5 days and then reduce to 1 day. as supply has 30 tablets, I had been bloated and belching before I took the capsules and had the colonic. Since I have been taking these capsules. I am still belching throughout the day and feel a bit sick, my skin has come up in a rash on my cheeks and chin also back.At nights I feel really hungry like I want something to eat but I am no longer bloated. Any thoughts on this please
Hey, anyone else having an issue with sour saliva after taking probiotics for a couple weeks?
Hi Evan, just starting taking Neways Protozymes as recommended by my doc 10 days ago.
Starting taking 2 pills per day and experienced serious bathroom sprint sessions.
dropped to one pill per day and only showing slight improvement – no more sprinting but still VERY loose movements.
Now have sore throat and ears – linked or coincidence?
middle of the fence currently – persevere with the pills or pack them in.
thoughts/ comments??
Have taking probiotics for 3 weeks and now have terrible diarrhea and lots of bloating and gurgling in my stomach .this is not fun so I quit taking them I can't even leave the bathroom .
I just took Primal Defense. My candida has gotten worse over the years and I am unable to work. I just started the diet. My question is the first day of taking Primal Defense (I took one pill), I had gurgling in my stomach. The second day, I decided to do two pills. One in the morning and another in the evening. Weird thing happened, my skin, eyes, tongue, everywhere, I was itching. Is this part of die-off? It's a brand new bottle and expensive. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
I had my gallbladder removed in Nov and have had problems ever since. Fiber enriched foods give me gas and i have chronic constipation. I had a colonoscopy a few days ago and the results were fine. Everything i eat seems to give me gas. I know i need fiber to help with the constipation but my system is not digesting foods very well. I eat bland foods with a lot of baked fish. My GI doctor just gave me samples of Lizzness and Restora probiotic. Have you heard any good reviews in reference to Restora.
I've had my gallbladder removed 12 years ago and are experiencing acid reflux and are taking omeprazole now daily and have taken a series of antibiotics over some years, would you consider taking probiotics at this time thanks janice. Ps I can't eat anything acidic
I took 50 billion probiotic (yogurt) from bioK for 6 days.
On the 7th day my stomach was bloated and gassy. I also got mild diarrhea for 2 days now. Are these normal side affects?
I took probiotics for 1 week. Then I starred to feel very bloated and got minor diarrhea. How long should the diarrhea and gas last after I stop taking the probiotics.
I have beautiful skin normally until I started Keybiotics. From the back of my neck, shoulders, my back, forearms, stomach, legs,and hands. I even saw a few spots on my butt but my hands and forearms are the worst. Is this normal? I am, however, going to the bathroom without having to take all those other pills like senna with laxative and I feel like a normal person, again. But this itching is driving me nuts. I have had oatmeal baths, white vinegar baths, baking soda baths, and I even tried apple cider vinegar because it takes the swelling down. I started on the Keybiotics March 22nd and I am 66 years old with hay fever (have had all my life). I only take one pill in the morning and cannot take dairy products, soy, gluten, or wheat. All of that resulted from stomach surgery. Is there another Probiotic that works without all this itching and my skin looking terrible? Really need some advice here. Thanks! Otherwise, I am going naturally…thank God.
I have all those symptoms except acmne. Also feel VERY weak and a little dizzy. Only drinking a sm glass a day for the past week. Is this normal
Have a ulcer in stomach, bloated stomach, stool stick to toilet regularly and is dark. Started 50 B probiotic supplement can a change in stool color indicate probiotic working
Can children under 13 years old use keybiotics?
Thank you, you've been a big help.
This is my first experience with probiotics. I am using Mercola's and don't know which are the best. I felt an improvement in my mood, but felt also pain in my hands and fingers sort like an arthritic pain. Also I am unable to sleep as I used to. Is this normal? I would definitely appreciate your input.
Is this normal.
Does probiotics cause rash on chest and stomach?
I started using Keyboticts 7 weeks ago and for the last 5 days my urine odor has changed, will probotics harm the kidneys?
I've been fighting shingles now for 6 weeks and I'm still suffering from pain where the shingles blisters were located. I started 15 billion probiotics midway thru this and was feeling better. I was taking 5 billion 3 times a day. A friend coaxed me to bump it up to 20 billion. So I did this and by the 3rd day I had a rash all over my head. I've since stopped and the rash has gone away. I really want to go back on it, but now I'm stuck with 20 billion capsules. Any ideas on breaking these capsules in half to take half in the morning then again at night? Or should I wait til after this shingle pain goes away? I'm sure I'm in toxic overload with having fibromyalgia and type 2 diabetes. What would u suggest I do? Thank you.
This is what I am experiencing right now: sore throat and congested ears with heaviness of the head. Just like what Rob said he experience. I am also constipated for two days now. I found your article and now I started drinking plenty of fluid and lower the dosage of my probiotics to only one capsule a day. I hope these side effects will go away.
I recently came off of Align after several years,
feeling I was posssibly becoming "immune"-
I then tried Digestive Advantage, then Philips which made me quite ill, and now am
on Culturelle which immediately made my stomach feel better but also seemed to constipate me. Is it harmful to switch strains of probiotics
and do you indeed become immune after years?
I'm 56 in great health except IBS. I can barely eat because I always feel full, bloated and uncomfortable.
Went to a gastroneurologist and she put me on Miralax once a day and Align probiotic two times a day. The dosage on the bottle says to take once a day. Is it ok to take Align twice a day? This is my second day and I don't feel any better. Sounds like it takes awhile.
Any advice?
Jumped from 60billion to 100billion probiotic. Within 4 days, heavy anxiety; within a week, heavy brain fog and head pain. However, anxiety and fog are ongoing symptoms (pre probiotics) for me. How to tell if it's die off or regular symptoms? Seems more intense with probiotics.
I just recently took Ohhira Probiotics and developed spot rashes on my arms and upper body. I read the article that it's the body detoxing. Should I stop or continue taking the supplements? I do have history of eczema and lactose intolerance. Many thanks!
I'm caregiver for my 90 year old dad and have just learned about probiotics. Should I just start him (and myself) on one pill every 3 days?…, because I certainly don't want him to have to run to the bathroom, you know… ever… ;)
I don't know if he has candida, but he loves anything with sugar in it and until last month I would get him those sugary oatmeal cookies and chocolate, and things he loves. He also seems to NEED or crave sweet cole slaw. But now I've just learned about soybean products and high fructose corn syrup that is in EVERYTHING I've been buying for him. High fructose causes brain fog and dementia/alzheimers conditions… and the cole slaw I was buying at the store has high fructose corn syrups and other sweet junk in it. .Soy products destroy the thryoid! He has low thyroid, and low hemoglobin, and such as that shows up in his blood work, and his Dr found a 2″x 2″ mass in his lungs. He went for the first CT scan, but decided there is nothing wrong with him and he will not let them dig into his body and upset his life. but he is healthy, doesn't take a single pill, takes a walk every day and eats well, goes to sleep around 6:30pm and wakes up around 7am.. and naps all day… but he hates water. Also says his bowel movements are normally only once every other day. But I've noticed many times that it's many times every 3 days. He forgets by the time he comes out of the bathroom, whether he had one or not ;).
I've researcched and learned that if it's cancer in his lungs, cancer feeds on sugar, but since we didn't let them scope it out, it could be mold, (since we do have some plumbing problems). He doesn't want to go through all the doctors recommended and let them ruin his life because he says he is just fine. I applaud that. We are proud of our natural cures and no doctor approach to a pretty pain free life.
I found a place to buy Xylitol instead of sugar and he can't tell the difference, but since he isn't over weight, taking away the sugar made him start to lose weight. I've started making his cole slaw at home, using cinnamon and apples coconut oil and a spoon of coconut sugar in it to sweeten it. I've started making his oatmeal from organic rolled oats and instead of sugar I use coconut sugar. I'm making his oatmeal cookies too, with banana, coconut oil, flak seeds and all kinds of good for you stuff in them. I've just learned that Mayonnaise is filled with soybean oil and so now I'm making my own mayonnaise. Only since March 2014, did I decide to not let him consume anything with high fructose or soy products in them, and after about 3 weeks, he wasn't feeling too good either. I wondered if he was going through withdrawal.
My question is about sugars as well as probiotics. We hate stevia, but Xylitol tastes just like sugar, and coconut sugar isn't bad either. Do these other natural sweeteners do the same as sugar or are they OK to sweeten his green tea with, and my coffee with? And how can I keep him from losing weight if I take away sugar? Just this week, I mixed his sugar bowl with the three sugars. Refined sugar, coconut sugar and Xylitol to try and keep him from losing weight. Please comment on this, Thank you so much for this forum and the way you answer. I am so glad I read it, because the way I learned about probiotics was through the Keybiotics ad online. It is expensive but I was sold on it. However, then I saw another one being offered at one of my health food shops online, much cheaper, so now I'd like to get one for sure, but I wondered if it's dangerous for the elderly to take. Sorry this is so long, I think I only asked a few questions, though. I'd love your advice, please. Thanks again!
Taking probiotics for several months, once a day but
Am having problem with rectal mucus discharge. Could the probiotic be a problem?
When starting off what is considered a recommended low dosage?
I started taking Culturelle probiotics 5 days ago, I do have a rash in and around my belly button followed by a weird smell….is that part of the detoxification?
Sorry forgot to ask , also I woke up this morning n my left eye is irritated n sore a bit, is this a side affect as well? AND since I am coming on day 6…should I stop taking them or ride it out. I was recently sick and all the meds the doctor had me on cleaned out all the good bacteria in me, reason why they now have me taking probiotics is to build back up the bacteria.
Every probiotic I've tried has caused me bloating, gas, and cramps :( I'm very frustrated because I believe they are so good for health. I recently tried 10 billion L. plantarum and it was too much for me. Is eating fermented food/drinks a good substitute? I seem to tolerate kombucha okay.
Can probiotics make my one year olds urine smell foul? I started giving it to her about 2 weeks ago after a few rounds of antibiotics and a lot of diarrhea but now her urine is so foul smelling. No fever or anything so I don't think its a UTI. Thanks.
I ache all over…that a side effect?
So, if one prefers not to take the supplements, what is the best natural way to go? Is there a diet to go by, like eating sauerkraut every day for a month or maybe just ingesting some fermented food or drink each day? How much? and for how long? Is there a way to get that bacteria back in balance naturally? Since you offered no advice we decided to not buy the probiotic products, due to his age. You also didn't answer the question about sugar, coconut sugar, xylitol. Do these alternative sugars feed the parasite as well? And how about honey? Thanks
Usually been taking probiotic with no issues. Just recently introduced to Epoca Cool+ that CostCo has and after 4 days I'm having mild fever chills and nausea. I've been popping my regular Probiotic pills plus Epoca Cool+ twice a day. I was thinking what did I introduce to my diet and this is the only new thing on my diet since past week. They have it for about entire pack for just 10 bucks whereas the one I was/am taking in pill form is more expensive. I think this new probiotic is extremely inferior or probably infected with wrong bacteria that I'm having these issues with and their plastic container looks cheap and dirty. I doubt if it's BPA free and that solution is highly acidic too with Vitamin C in plastic container.
I don't believe in die-off symptoms. It's just self-consoling ideas which is okay. A good probiotic never causes so called die-off where as bad probiotic causes so much problems. I'm gonna call Epoca Cool+ manufacturer today and see what they say. Will update later.
I just started probiotics today for the first time 1 pill after meal. I read many side effects good and bad so I will play it day by day and will post any good or bad results. great job in answering questions !
Your comments was helpful. Thank you
Started Jarro-Dophilus only a couple days ago, and I've broke out in a horrible rash that just hurts. As long as I leave it alone the rash don't itch, but it hurts. I have eczema and this seems to have made it far worse.
Can probiotics help with alopecia??
Hi this might be TMI but I just started taking hyperbiotics and it's seemed to give me a yeast infection, is this a normal side effect?? Does it mean the hyperbiotics are cleaning out my system? Thanks
Thank you! I was concerned I may have improperly fermented my vegetables. I have always been one to jump in head first, and having dealt with Candida for many years, I was so excited to get well that I clearly over did it! I cut back and saw immediate relief.
Hey Evan,
Been doing lots of research on/taking probiotics. I have been suffering from bv, yeast and uti's since stopping birth control pills about a year ago. Now I am pregnant and wanting to try to make sure I'm as healthy as can be. A nutritionist recommended Garden of Life raw vaginal probiotics 50 billion. I took one capsule along with my prenatal vitamin before bed and woke up about 5 hours later extremely nauseas, heart racing, had loose stool and skin very hot. I know it's a reaction to the probiotic but I don't know if I should just stop using it or take half a pill..maybe with food in the morning?
Any advice? Thanks!!
Been taking probiotics for 2 days, increased dosage as suggested by retailer when purchased, to 4 a day as stomach was so painful, bloated, acid reflux. Now got diarrhoea. Hope its just getting rid of the rubbish for taking too many medications over 4 years! When should I stop if it doesn't cease?
Hi Evan,
very helpful thanks! i've been taking two capsules of 3 billion a day and willprobably cut down to one daily. i've beenlosing my appetite and feeling bloated also i feel very tired as well as agitated.
this is my first round taking probiotics. as a child i used to have astma, eczema and bronchitis for which i was perscribed large doses of antibiotics. is it possible that my tiredness and agitation come from cleaning up years of bad intestine flora?
Can taking a probiotic help with gluten sensitivity? I've had constant diarrhea for the past almost 4 years now. I had my gallbladder removed, and that didn't help. I took the suggestion of a friend and eliminated gluten from my diet, and that took care of about 80% of the problem, now it's only every couple of weeks. So I started taking a probiotic, it's been 4 days now and I'm getting some of these symptoms, glad it's from the detox, but I was wondering if I'll be able to eat bread again in the future. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I was really starting to worry something was wrong. I've taken probiotics before but was (unbeknownst to me) storing them incorrectly therefore consuming dad probiotics. I just started a fsh strain two days ago twice daily and a already feeling the effects. Will be reducing to ine until they subside.
Thank you again !!!!
I think this article made me feel better about what's going on with me. I read a lot of the comments and your replies, but tell me if you think this is common. I increased my dosage from 15 billion to 30 billion (took 15 billion forever then one day began taking 30). After a few days I had diarrhea for a few days then began having normal bowel movements 1-3 times per day which is an increase from 1-2 times per week for me. I felt GREAT and was totally loving this 30 billion. Then about 6 weeks in I began having burning pain in my upper abdomen with diarrhea for about four days. All I could eat was rice. Today is the 7th day since that began and certain foods literally shut me down. I have to go take a nap and I have the terrible burning pain with a few loose bowel movements. When I wake up, I'm totally fine like nothing ever happened. I've lost 10 pounds in 7 weeks which is fine with me. I felt GREAT before this week long bout of weirdness! I also have had some headaches, skin itchiness, and I'm so tired. Could this all be detox symptoms in your non medical opinion (which I prefer by the way – don't get me started on why)?
I have a couple of questions regarding probiotics.
1) Since the are reports of special strains of bacteria in people who eat special foods (seaweed for example), I would imagine that the ideal gut bacterial colony for your gut depends on your diet. If yes, are there studies that have attempted to look at what is the right colony for which diet?
2) One would imagine that if you take a probiotic for a certain number of days you would be able to establish a stable colony of the bacteria in your gut and that overpopulating the gut with that bacteria could potentially be problematic. What then is the rationale for manufacturers recommending lifelong supplementation? Are there issues with the strains marketed? or is this just business trumping science?
PS: I would prefer honest answers to the above, or none :-)
I had a pretty violent reaction to my first 5 days of "extra strength" probiotics. It triggered the worse IBS episode I ever had, complete with chills and a fever that clocked in at 101.3 and lasted about 18 hours. I couldn't sleep b/c I was awakened every hour to relieve myself. When the fever went away, I was left with passing mucus alone, and mucus with stool. I stopped taking it. LESSON: I probably began with too high a concentration and should have begun on the bottom rung. Will try again with a lower "dosage" when this bout of IBS goes away because I won't tolerate these side effects.
Hello. Is it normal for probiotics to cause dizziness?
Got a stomach virus 2 weeks ago. Advised by doc to take florastor probiotic. Had loss of appettite, fatigue, weightloss, gas, insomnia. Is this normal?
Loose stool is normal when we eat too much of anything . Is a good thing that a loose stool lets you know you are taking more then you need is need it :) God bless you all .
My son had dandruff I gave him probiotics and he is so much better :) his hair is not falling out :) God is good !
About 2-3 weeks. I have a gastro appointment tomorrow and a sleep study tomorrow night. Ive also have been dealing with stress and anxiety. All so overwhelming. ..

Learn How to Give Your Mouse a Check-up
By Cait McKeown
A lot of people are not quite sure how to check their mouse's health, but it needn't be a worry. Giving your mouse a check over is quick and easy and shouldn't be stressful for either of you. Obviously mice will get used to being checked the more often you do it but I find that even baby mice are fairly obliging. When looking at your mouse you can make a visual assessment before you even pick them up:
To do a quick physical exam, pick your mouse up as usual and let it sit on your palm. Gently take the base of the tail between your thumb and forefinger and lift the mouse up slightly so you can take a look at its rear.
Whilst you are holding your mouse you will also be able to assess some other important physical signs. These include:
Gently stroke the mouse's fur against the direction of growth along its back and head so that you can see the skin underneath.
Obviously if you are worried you must take your mouse to the vet. However, these questions are also going to be asked by the vet so it will be better if you know the answers already to as many as possible. You know your pets better than a vet and should be able to offer background information wherever possible. Regular health checks including the above will help to catch illnesses early and may even save your pet's life in some cases. That is not an overly-dramatic statement, since mice have a fast metabolism and any illness can progress rapidly: your vigilance may give your mouse that extra chance it needs to get early treatment and recover.

After a storm of complaints, the Obama administration on Tuesday unveiled simplified forms to apply for insurance under the president's new health care law. You won't have to lay bare your medical history but you will have to detail your finances.
An earlier version of the forms had provoked widespread griping that they were as bad as tax forms and might overwhelm uninsured people, causing them to give up in frustration.

Superman/Batman was a monthly series published by DC Comics featuring team-ups of the so-called "World's Finest Duo". The series explored the relationship between the two heroes, featuring a unique dual-narrator approach where both Superman and Batman simultaneously narrated the story with their thoughts. The series is also notable for restoring Superman and Batman to being good friends (though not to pre-Crisis levels), since John Byrne's The Man of Steel series initially rebooted the two as not getting along due to their contrasting ideals, although they still respected each other.Notable Stories in this series:

Southeastern Five-lined Skink
Eumceces inexpectatus
Photo by RW Van Devender
Description: 5.5-8.5 in. (14-21.6 cm) Like five-lined skinks, southeastern five-lined skinks usually have five light stripes on a brown or black background. Adult males often develop orange-brown coloration on their head, especially during the spring breeding season. Young have narrow yellow or orange stripes on a shiny black background and a bright blue tail. Southeastern five-lined skinks can be distinguished from other skinks in our region by the scales on the underside of their tails which are all about the same size.
Habitat/Range: This species is found throughout the eastern and central portions of North Carolina. They are also found in a great variety of habitats but are most common in dry, sandy environments. Being quite common on the coastal plain, this species thrives on many small seashore islands that have no fresh water and little vegetation. They climb well but are often found on the ground.
The shaded region represents the range of the southeastern five-lined skink in North Carolina.

First Year Experience Main Menu
Welcome to Your First-Year Experience!
First Year Experience Philosophy and Goals
First-Year Experience (FYE) programming is interdisciplinary in nature and focuses on first-year students and their transition out of high school and into university life.
Relying on campus collaborations between and among faculty, staff, administrators, and students, we aim to enhance the success of first-year students, steering them to embrace the academic rigor of university studies while also participating in co-curricular activities. We invite our first-years to grow in their critical thinking, their appreciation for diversity and tolerance, and their understanding of the benefits of the liberal arts education we provide through our core curriculum.
Our goals are simple: increased student learning, achievement, success and engagement in both their curricular and co-curricular experiences.
A Brief Nod to the History of FYE at Armstrong
Formal FYE programming at Armstrong dates back at least to the turn of the century, when the university began exploring various student learning communities and paired course offerings while also expanding its offering of "success" or "university experience" classes.
In 2008, an increased focus on all things FYE included the hiring of several core curriculum faculty who would concentrate efforts on program enhancements and work alongside a newly formed First-Year Experience Task Force comprising university-wide administrators, staff, and faculty. Three years of research, experimentation, and collaboration have brought the program to its present state, one where every entering first-year student has abundant opportunities to identify—and then attain—personally derived marks of success.
First-Year Experience helps first-year students transition out of high school and into university life. Our programs aim to improve student learning,success, achievement, and engagement in both their curricular and co-curricular experiences.
All first year students at Armstrong take the First-Year Seminar as part of the First Class Learning Community. They may also participate in other First-Year Learning Communities (FLCs), as well as the Common Read program. Through each of these campus-wide efforts, we intentionally and repeatedly invite students to engage in active learning as we expand the space of the classroom to include working with peers, engaging with the broader community, and sharing research across campus.

LitvakSIG is entering its 15th year with more than 1 million records translated, predominantly by the District Research Groups, with many more yet to be translated.
Maintaining the current Qualifying Contribution amount, which for most Districts is $100, is no longer sufficient to support the continuing translation work of the District Research Groups. The volume of data translated and made accessible has grown dramatically.
After much discussion, the Board of Directors of LitvakSIG has voted unanimously to institute a new policy for contributors to District Research Groups. This policy is effective January 1, 2012.
The Board has decided that the solution which makes sense will be to limit a contributor's early right of access to the data translated by district research groups to a period of five years from the year in which the qualifying contribution was made. The five year cycles are based on a calendar year, not the date of the contribution.
A qualifying contribution will count for the year in which it is made, regardless
of the month in which it is made. Example: A qualifying contribution made on June 1, 2010 will allow access through December 31, 2014. (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 = 5 years)
The qualifying contribution for Telsiai District will be $100 as of January 1, 2012.
The qualifying contribution for Vilnius District will be $100 as of January 1, 2012.
For contributors to district groups with a Shutterfly site: If you have not made contributions totaling $100 since January 1, 2007, you will lose your access to the Shutterfly site effective January 1, 2012. Your access will be reinstated when your contribution level reaches the qualifying amount of $100. As in the past, smaller contributions are still appreciated and encouraged, and they will be viewed cumulatively during that 5 year cycle, in order to reach the qualifying level for access.
There are only two district research groups without Shutterfly sites - Lida and Trakai. Early access to the data for those districts is via email distribution of excel files and the same loss of access will apply.
For contributors to our newest district research groups for Klaipeda (Memel) and Svencionys – this policy change will not affect you until January 1, 2015 at the earliest.
Contributions made after the Yom Kippur holiday, will be considered as made in the following calendar year. If you made a contribution to a district research group since October 8, 2011, it will be considered as a contribution made in calendar year 2012.
The Board of Directors of LitvakSIG, your fellow researchers and I appreciate your financial support of our work in fulfilling our mission statement and guaranteeing that the LitvakSIG website at www.litvaksig.org continues to be the premier source for Litvak family history research.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation and future philanthropy.

Weight-loss mistakes that can get you off-track
with MONIFA THOMAS, firstname.lastname@example.com@suntimes.com January 17, 2011 10:42PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
It's a new year, and you're all geared up to lose those five or 10 pounds you picked up over the holiday season. So you've started going to the gym again, and you're also being more mindful about what you eat. But you still aren't seeing results. You could be making one of these common weight-loss errors:
Doing too much too soon: If you're someone who eats out most days of the week, it's admirable to want to switch to a healthier routine of bringing your lunch to work. The same goes for the couch potato who vows to get 30 minutes of exercise a day. But changing your eating or exercise habits too drastically is usually a recipe for failure, says personal trainer Nicki Anderson, of Reality Fitness in Naperville.
"Most people try to go from doing nothing to working out five days a week," she says. "The likelihood of them sticking with it, due to injury or burnout, is very, very small."
You're better off making small changes that can be sustained over time. Then, you can work your way up to bigger challenges.
Pigging out after the workout: People tend to overestimate how many calories they burned during a workout, which often leads them to overindulge afterward, Anderson says. Keep in mind that, for a 130-pound woman, 30 minutes of high-impact aerobics burns about 200 calories. So rewarding yourself with a 400-calorie cupcake after each trip to the gym isn't going to help you fit into those skinny jeans anytime soon.
Not getting enough sleep: No matter how good you are about exercising or eating right, you could be sabotaging your weight-loss efforts if you aren't getting enough sleep. A study reported last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that overweight people on a reduced-calorie diet lost more weight from fat if they slept eight hours a night than those who slept less than six hours a night. It's not exactly clear why sleep loss is linked to weight gain, though research also indicates that sleep deprivation affects production of a pair of hormones that regulate when we feel hungry and full.
Assuming "diet" foods are a healthier alternative: Whether it's reduced-fat peanut butter or sugar-free cookies, "diet" versions of your favorite foods might seem like the best of both worlds: same great taste with less of the bad stuff. But in most cases, taking out one ingredient, like sugar, often means adding more of another, like fat, to maintain the flavor, says Brooke Schantz, a registered dietician at Loyola University Health System. It's important to read food labels closely and stick to small portion sizes, no matter what you're eating. "Just because it's a sugar-free cookie, it doesn't become an apple," Schantz says. "Moderation is the key. Everybody always tries to figure out ways around that, and there isn't one."

text: I believe what I am planning to do is legal, but want to double check first. I have a B-day coming up and my wife said she will buy me a new handgun for a gift. If I fill out the purchase form and have a permit to acquire as the gun is going to be mine, is there any legal problem with her actually paying for the gun with a credit card in her name? Any conflict with the question on the form about :Are you the actual buyer of the gun?

Mustafa, Shuhaimi and B.M., Kabeir and Abd. Manap, Mohd. Yazid and Abdullah, Muhammad Nazrul Hakim (2009) Synbiotics growth optimization of Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 with prebiotics using a statistical methodology. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 106 (1). pp. 191-198. ISSN 1364-5072
Full text not available from this repository.
Aims: This study demonstrated the optimum growth of Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 with prebiotics via statistical model.Methods and Results: Commercial prebiotics [inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS)], together with sorbitol, arabinan and inoculum rate, were tested by fractional factorial design to determine their impact on growth of Bif. pseudocatenulatum G4 in skim milk. At 48 h incubation, bacterial growth was mainly influenced by FOS and inoculum rate. Growth reduction was observed in all samples incubated for 72 h. Central composite design (CCD) was adopted using FOS and inoculum rate at 48 h incubation to develop the statistical model for optimization. The model predicted that 2·461 log CFU ml−1 produced the optimum growth increase of Bif. pseudocatenulatum G4. The combination that produced the optimum point was 2·86% FOS (g/v) and 0·67% inoculum rate (v/v).Conclusion: At optimum combination of inoculum rate and FOS, validation experiments recorded 2·40 ± 10·02 log CFU ml−1. The application in 1-l bioreactor for 24 h showed higher growth increase of 2·95 log CFU ml−1.Significant and Impact of the Study: Response surface methodology approach is useful to develop optimum synbiotics combination for strain G4 with FOS.

I'm considering moving back to Youngstown from Columbus, but find myself conflicted. I miss my family and friends, but driving through Youngstown and the surrounding suburbs is extremely depressing. The loss of jobs is also disheartening. I looked to the 2010 plan hoping, and actually expecting, that part of the plan would focus on economic growth. Unfortunately, according to the plan, "The Youngstown's New Economy working groups had intentions of analyzing the city economy in relation to the regional economy,with a more detailed analysis of commercial centers and downtown economic functions. But budget constraints and timing have pushed this component of the plan to an identified project in Youngstown 2010. "http://www.youngstown2010.com/plan/final_plan/Ytown2010_chapter2.pdf .
The plan appears to focus on zoning along with attempts to make the city, "cleaner, greener, and better planned and organized." It also focuses on the reality of a city stabilized at 80K, rather than 170K as originally planned for in the 50'2 and 70's. While that makes sense and is a great start (things will at least look nicer), I would like to know what the plans are for economic development and attracting new businesses to the city. How are businessed being "sold" on Youngstown? Is there even an effort to do this?
While it's great to publicize these efforts in the local media (and in some cases the national media as well), I would like to be assured that additional efforts are being made which focus on courting new businesses to the area and that if I would like to move back to Youngstown (and truly, I would), that I would have a job to which I could move back. Lack of a job (despite a bachelor's from YSU and master's from Kent State) is the reason I had to relocate in the first place.
this here group has just about called it a day here. these leaders are weak and so is the media hound mayor. he does not, repeat, NOT speak for this group! he has INDEED told this paper not to publish any manifest from this group so from this moment forward, we'll boycott this paper, vindy. com sites whatever! we can't even make a dent in crime from our own block unless we become vigilantes! all them drug houses out in the open and five-0 may arrest them but the ol' catch and release and presto back at it! we're tired of trying to keep up greenspace only to observe the thugs trashing the lots and laughing their asses off! our simple ass council gillam does nothing but get paid, and who cares about greenspace when its a goddamned war zone on the lawless eastside. drug houses ALL IN PLAIN VIEW and only 2 are deemed nuisances? the law is not on our side, and jaybird could care less about this group unless you kiss his high and mighty ass and we refuse to bow down to the JEDDSTER! most of our members have indeed moved away from this lawless city, and the rest of us are packing up and leaving too! jaybird should be thrilled to rid the city of 20+ hard working people trying to make a difference but get the runaround instead! and since this paper bows down to him, we'll take our difference making asses elsewhere! stay safe here in thugstown y'all.
Why is it, STILL, the bad areas of Youngstown continue to be those areas of the south, east and north side where blacks make up the majority of the population? When are black people going to start taking some responsibility for being the eyesore nationally, that Youngstown is portrayed in? Not 100% black, because I know there are some good people there. Yet those good people are usually too afraid to do anything, in fear of being called racial slurs, Uncle Toms, ect. Time has come - thugs, punks and losers in the black areas of town need to leave, quit bringing down Younstown as a whole. Get educated, act and talk normal, dress normal, or get out of Youngstown by 2010. You are not needed or wanted there.
I see that you are a great supporter of Reaganomics! What a great concept Former President Reagan had, but his idea of the perfect economy was shrewd. I can still remember his great ideas. His main interest was with the US and foreign companies, and let not forget the way that he fired US government employees (Air Traffic Controllers). What a way to get that economy going or send it in a recession in about six months. Reaganomics is what got our country in the situation that we are in now. The other nations in the world say that he drove the prices up; in order to benefit the pockets of his base.
Well were to start at; do I start with the mentality, unions or capitalism. I choose mentality. I think, I will talk about the history of the Youngstown area. Do you know when and who founded Youngstown, Ohio? You do know that the people of Youngstown have a pride history. Our history starts with the founder of Youngstown and that is John Young in 1797. He was one hard worker; we can call him an entrepreneur. As far as the talk about being a socialist and union supporter; please do not forget how much you make today. The fact is the unions helped you make that healthy wage that you make today, and watch who you call a socialist. Not all people that supported the New Deal in order to get people back to work are socialist. In fact, I see nothing wrong with building new steel mills. Even building new power plants on the rivers and growing fast growing trees for a future paper mill in the area. What do you say about that? Is that your idea of capitalism and personal responsibility; because it is my idea of capitalism and personal responsibility? One last thing, you must be a perpetual failures, because you do live in the area. So, I task you to do something. Call your Congressman and Senator to help out a young entrepreneur, like myself to get money to do ideas like this.
Finally the last thing, GOD BLESS AMERICA and May he keep our Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines safe at all time.
Pro American,
Capitalism doesn't work either (well for a few) and in a racist society with plenty of dirty tricks and necks of people it had to step on to rise to be the "greatest" nation on earth (think Native Americans from whom which the land was stolen, and upon the flogged backs of Africans who were KIDNAPPED from their land to provide hundreds of years of free labor that gave this economy the boost, and the governments that were directly or indirectly and in all cases scandalously toppled by u.s. corporate grip and special interests that ultimately control america and the governement), it will create a great division and dis-proportionately make wealth and resources available...because WHO will play fair in an economic theory where you, well, CAPITALIZE?
. the stats are somewhere that less than 1% of the population controls more than 99% of the wealth in this country...how is THAT working?
I hear all you staunch supporters of capitalism always crying about Wal-mart and how they "take away business" from other businesses...but then don't you realize that that is WHAT CAPITALISM IS AND DOES?
Sort of like most of the pillars of this American society, hypocrisy abounds in that lament.
It is ridiculous to assume the playing field is level, and many conservatives ride the wheels off of that "personal responsibility" theory, as if ANYONE who is poor or struggling economically is surely being irresponsible...wow.
People also assume that Socialism means that you take from hard workers and give to lazy people (reminds me of the assumption that Affirmative Action ALWAYS means a lesser qualified Black or minority wins over a more-qualified White person)..
read up on it.
United we stand...my rump!
Ytowngirlincbus, I feel that the place to REALLY begin, is in the school system. Foster and INTELLECTUAL environment, geared towards forcasted industry trends of the future (like Hi Tech stuff, renewable energy, etc), THAT will begin to court companies, instead of feeding these kids with long sticks (metaphorically speaking) at schools and making excuses for them, and overall cringing at their very presence and smart mouths out of fear, and actually ENGAGE them in some challenging thought ( my daughter didnt have books for some of her classes at P Ross Berry) rather than suspending them for every minor infraction and chasing them all over the hallways with walkie talkies and other practices that paint the picture of authority in school being the enemy...
second I feel that the public transpo infrastructure is ridiculous and I HEAR that there is a grassroots movement to get this economic fundamental rectified, but HIGHLY unpublicized in the local media. Mostly it's shot down because cities and towns surrounding Youngstown are more worried about 'people from Youngstown being able to easily get to their city to terrorize it and plunder it (as if we're some savage vikings or barbarians)' , and overlook the fact that the transpo of people also is the transpo of IDEAS and skills.
Then scratch your head as to why there isnt even a MUNICIPAL Wi-Fi????? Can you imagine? In THIS hi tech day and age??
what about the freeway system? The logic of the traffic flows, timing of lights, everything believe it or not, effects economic health. You can't efficiently access Market Street and 224 by freeway, you have to get off either a few miles down the road from either the east or the west, or go way down through New Middletown...the eastside is almost TOTALLY unaccessible via freeway, and there are only 2 entry points into Youngstown either from 80 and 193 (and subdivision of 711) or from off 76 from the south...
and then to stop fist shaking about the thugs (who really only bother eachother because it is conflict based crime usually), and the freaking steel industry days...reminds me of a woman who can't succeed in any relationships because she's still hung up over a past relationship.
dont even get me started on the racial division, discriminatory hiring practices and over all racially motivated inclusion (and exclusion) tactics of places like Turning Technologies, YBI, and the like.
a few things to consider.
I just want to say that capitalism does work. Let me give you some examples: Mr. Polk, Andrew and Hitchman, Andrew Carnegie, Oprah Winfrey, DeShawn Snow, and others. The list goes on and on.
Abtech I want to refer you too an article; that was published by an author in Africa. He talks about the Slave trade. The author is Tunde Obadina. He said a quote about writer James Baldwin. The quote is: "The past is what makes the present coherent," said Afro-American writer James Baldwin, and the past "will remain horrible for exactly as long as we refuse to assess it honestly."
Now here is what he wrote about the slave trade. Estimates of the total human loss to Africa over the four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade range from 30 million to 200 million. At the initial stage of the trade parties of Europeans captured Africans in raids on communities in the coastal areas. But this soon gave way to buying slaves from African rulers and traders. The vast majority of slaves taken out of Africa were sold by African rulers, traders and a military aristocracy who all grew wealthy from the business. Most slaves were acquired through wars or by kidnapping. The Portuguese Duatre Pacheco Pereire wrote in the early sixteenth century after a visit to Benin that the kingdom "is usually at war with its neighbours and takes many captives, whom we buy at twelve or fifteen brass bracelets each, or for copper bracelets, which they prize more." Olaudah Equiano, an ex-slave, described in his memoirs published in 1789 how African rulers carried out raids to capture slaves.
After I read this I was thinking about who was to blame. I only thing that popped into my mind was the African Chief. I think that we as a people need to move past this point. The Americans now are not the ones that enslaved the Slaves. We have to remember we elected the first Black President. The next question as affirmative action progresses is this. What do we do when the white race is no longer the majority in America? This will be happing in about five years from now. That means do we give them the same rights that people who receive the benefits from Affirmative Action now or do we just keep the inequality from them for the next hundred years? I think we need to address these issues now not five years down the road.
robert neville,
I know I know, it's all the African's fault we were slaves.
Affirmative Action falls under constitution that "congress shall enact laws to offset the institutions and LEGACY of slavery" so naw, the Whites won't get in this benefit.
now I'm thinking of that black guy who was on TV begging John McCain to "please sir, take it to this guy..." during the presidential election last year.
I feel that is you do not remember the days when Martin Luther King JR. was alive? If so you would not remember him saying: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I am sure that you care about what he did for US. I worked myself out the poor side of Youngstown. I had a great career in the service. I retired out as a LTC. In the United States Army and remember passing up more decorated and qualified white Officers for promotion. Abtech, we can not hold our short coming on the heads of the majority in America anymore; we control everything now. We have the White House, Congress, the Senate, music industry, and the entertainment industry. We now need to do something about it.
I do agree with you, on that Affirmative Action does falls under the constitution. As far as, the comment about "congress shall enact laws to offset the institutions and LEGACY of slavery." I do not remember that in Law School. As far as, guidance goes it states "Since the 1970s Americans have tended to agree about the constitutionality and justice of guaranteeing equality of civil rights and liberties to all individuals in the United States, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender." This also would address issue of affirmative action to remedy the effects of past discrimination against racial minorities and women. If the whites do become the minorities they will be entitled to these benefits.
Abtech, we need to work with everybody, to ensure that we make this area better for everyone. I do not want to have the younger generation; to live the hard life that I have lived. I will be going to Africa for a seven month vacation for the winter. Take care and go do great things.
Robert Neville
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Failure has no color barrier . Success nationwide can only be achieved when everyone works to the best of their abilities . We need to put America to work and end the outsourcing and rampant imports .

Dionysus, the joyful god of wine was getting a little tipsy and Hebe, the lovely goddess of youth was serving everyone ambrosia. Perseus, son of Zeus, having recently spent a bit of time on earth with his mortal rellies, took a mouthful of ambrosia and looked thoughtful. "Dad" he said eventually "Why don't we share this stuff with the people down on Earth?"

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Profiles in Courage
The movement experience at camp in the form of games and sports often provides wonderful physical and social experiences for the campers and staff. The teaching aspects of these experiences, while always present, often times go unrecognized.
One area of teaching movement and games that is very important is the promotion of sensible courage by participants. Without getting into philosophical discussions on the nature of courage, let's define the relevant terms.
To paraphrase Mortimer Adler, courage can be seen in terms of fearing things that should be feared and overcoming that fear when necessary to help yourself and/or others.
The development of this courage seems like a sensible objective for camp personnel. The question is how can we promote this learning initiative within the camp structure?
In this article, I would like to provide two different style lessons to illustrate ways to discuss courage. The Greek hero Cassandra listens to a chorus saying, "Your misery makes you brave." Her reply is that "…good fortune requires no courage."
Setting Goals
When setting up an activity for a group to play, a counselor should think of ways for campers to explain the difficulties they had accomplishing the task.
A checklist of questions should have three purposes… One, pre-activity questions set the stage for the campers to explore the boundaries and possibilities of the activity.
Two, mid-activity questions clarify acts as the game (or activity) is taking place. Finally, post-activity questions (or debriefing) synthesize information and develop questions for the next experience.
An example of these sets reveals purposeful (guiding) questions, enabling the camper to see the bigger picture of an activity
Pre-activity questions:
1. What do think will be the challenges to complete this activity fairly?
2. Why is completing the activity fairly important?
3. How can a person sacrifice in this game for the betterment of the team?
Mid-activity questions (at a break in play):1. What do you see happening?
2. What would you like to change?
3. What things can you alter and what things are determined by the luck and/or flow of the game?
Post-activity questions (debriefing):
1. What did you learn during the game?
2. What challenges did you expect and what surprised you? How did you react to the challenges?
3. How did you help your teammates? What sacrifices did you make for the betterment of the team? Were they worth it?
4. How can we add to your game experience for next time? (A general debriefing question that should be asked after every camp activity.)
By introducing themes of consideration — intelligent sacrifice and opportunity developing from adversity — the campers will start to value a team ethos that coincides with the need for individual self esteem. Sporting activities are a wonderful avenue to explore these issues in a comfortable environment.
Role Playing
A second way that courage can be explored within a movement experience relies on the team teaching of drama, physical education and art specialists.
These people can join forces to create a movement arts production centering on themes of courage and sacrifice. By using literature and dramatics as your base, the staff and campers can formulate opinions and internalize ideas in a different and possibly less threatening setting.
An example of this collaboration would be to stage a popular children's book, like Harry Potter, as a progressive play that takes place throughout the camp grounds as the actors and audience run or walk to each set as the play continues.
There are two reasons that an activity like this would be beneficial: One is curriculum-based and the other is instructional-based.
From the curriculum standpoint, a good teaching book offers campers of a wide range of ages an opportunity to interact with a "normal" child in courageous situations where good always triumphs and sensibility is always tempered by strong emotional bounds. In a word, this is a wonderful teaching piece.
Camp directors and drama specialists have a wonderful opportunity to select (along with their charges) works that "say something" to the performer and the audience.
Thus, the process and product become one and the camp will unite around a mutually pleasing activity. From the instructive standpoint, creating a dramatic obstacle course will provide many creative opportunities for the activities people on staff.
