I based my decision on the above discussion, 4.5 star product reviews, their 14 strains are listed on the bottle and seems complete, and I want to go big and see if there is any immediate or near term change in my health or platelet response. I will give it 30 days for sure! I had been taking amoxicillin when diagnosed and have been experiencing some digestive and regularity issues so this 30 day trial seems like a no brainer. I will post any significant changes in my CBC or lack there of.

I am also a believer in probiotics. I take one with 30 billion twice a day right now, I may increase it based on your post. Vitamin C is also very beneficial. I posted a video by Dr. Suzanne Humphries and she has me convinced.
Congrats on the babies!

But sometimes hpylori needs to be retreated. I had that positive blood test back in May and was treated with antibiotics and had remission for 7.5 weeks.
I just posted a note about Lupus questions. I am thinking you might have some insights....
Thanks!
