I hope to see this in every hospital and home... In 2005, Dr. Robert Martindale was hired by Oregon Health & Science University, he initiated a “probiotic protocol,” requiring the hospital to serve yogurt or kefir to every patient receiving antibiotics. Studies show they prevent virulent infections such as Clostridium difficile (C. difficile), antibiotic-resistant enterococci, and ventilator-assisted pneumonia (a hospital-acquired pneumonia that can occur in patients who are on a ventilator). They saw a significant drop in antibiotic-associated diarrhea among patients who took kefir, a fermented yogurt drink. How much kefir did the nurses administer? In the ICU we give the patients just one ounce, twice a day. Each carton contains 50 billion bacteria. Yoplait doesn’t work—it doesn’t have any probiotics in it. portlandmonthlymag/health-and-fitness/articles/this-probiotic-crusader-wants-you-to-get-cultured-july-2014
