Sounds ok, but......
I just made my own kefir drink with the following:
    1. Six ounces of my own freshly made raw milk kefir (yes, we can get whole 
raw milk in Vermont, if we are willing to drive to the farm (only ten minutes 
away)).
    2. one teaspoon of Vermont maple syrup which I buy right from the sugaring 
house (the owner is a friend and ONLY USES A WOOD FIRE TO BOIL DOWN THE 
SYRUP!!!  I mention this because, even in Vermont, some places now use oil 
fired boilers and the taste and quality can't compare to the wood fired 
product.  The wood fires take a huge amount of more effort (cutting wood, 
hauling, feeding the fire), but the syrup is worth it!!!)
    3. LARGE handful of freshly picked blueberries (it's still blueberry season 
in Vermont - we are putting gallons of them in our freezer for winter time use)
Blend all together for a minute or so and drink immediately.

You want delicious......
I doubt any store bought product could even come close.

        Hello...

        Just thought I'd butt in here for a minute.

        I buy and drink a product called Lifeway lowfat Kefir Probiotic which 
contains 10 live and active kefir cultures one of which is L rhamnosus...I 
assume this is the probiotic Brooks is speaking about.

        Another note of interest is the family who makes this product is from 
Russia. They are also farmer pledged.

        You can go to their website and read all of the info about their 
products and also print out coupons. You can also find stores that carry it.

        I drink this each and every day and find it to be absolutely 
delicious...I'm drinking Lifeway Pomegranate flavored kefir smoothie right 
now...yum. 

        Best regards...

        Sandy

        Live and let live...

          Here it is:

          "This post relates to a current/on-going investigation we 
          are prosecuting, relating to more powerful immune system boosters.
          One of the more outstanding candidates has demonstrated to be a 
member 
          of the "probiotic" family. The seminal work, originally performed by 
          the Russians during the Cold War (conducted during investigations 
          looking for Biological Warfare countermeasures)
          focused on members of the Lactobacillus family. Originally identified 
          as Lactobacillus bulgaricus, this useful strain was, later, more 
          correctly identified as Lactobacillus Rhamnosus. The D-V strain was 
          found to be unusually powerful, as an immune system stimulant,when 
          fractionated to potentiate the cell-wall fragments. Without this 
          fractionation//lysing (originally conducted by the Bulgarians circa 
          1970's) , the useful components found inside the cell walls of the 
          bacterium...remained totally isolated from the surrounding 
          environment......thus denying the biological environment their 
          beneficial stimulation.
          I post this email to inform the list membership that we 
          are greatly encouraged by our early results from the intital 
          investigations. Most especially in the address of the effects upon 
          potential biological warfare agents--------as well as resisting the 
          effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. Interestingly, animal 
          experiments conducted by some Russian labs report a 30X higher immune 
          resistance among animals treated with the substance (later named 
          Del-Immune V), than that of untreated animal subjects
          used as controls. They were quite successful in "prophylactically" 
          elevating the immunity in advance of pathogenic exposure/infection. 
          We have been fascinated and quite surprised at our positive 
          results....so far. However, it is early in our investigation. I 
          include one reference ( the URL at the bottom of the page), from amou 
ng a multiplicity of advertisers....
          which outlines a reasonably acceptable 
          historical description of the evolution of the Del-Immune product. I 
          simply do not have the time--or the energy---to outline a more 
complete, 
          accurate history of the efforts involved in developing this line of 
          research.
          I am not endorsing or promoting this product. I only 
          refer to it because it seems to be the better from among the current 
          probiotic suppliers of this type of substance. Our, particular 
efforts 
          are concentrating on a single probiotic, namely lactobacillus
          rhamnosus. The Del_Immune product appears to contain multiple 
          components. As our research progresses I will attempt to keep the 
          membership posted on our results-----positive or negative.
          Sincerely, Brooks Bradley

          who replied with helpful hints for the chemo & cancer...& if anyone 
has what Brooks Bradley posted about a supplement that really boosts the immune 
system would you please let me know so I can send that along too. & Thanks 
again.. Lois
