on yes, i do see your point, and its a good one. my response to that point, however, is jsut pointing out that really its not bacteria that cause the illness, rather its IMBALANCE of bacteria levels that cuase the problem. by this i mean the bad bacteria are ALWAYS there in your system, but as long as they are outnumbered by the good guys, things are fine. its when the bad bacteria gain the upper hand that problems arise.
so yes, i do agree that bacteria are the cause of many diseases and that this is often overlooked.
