>>"I would throw away stuff that eliminates bacteria."<<
I wouldn't throw it away... it has its uses in home emergency medicine.
Though friendly bacteria and cultures fight off infection and facilitate quicker healing.
Man... have we been indoctrinated, brainwashed, and dished a whole bunch of d@mn lies over the last century or so through our educational system and advertising... the depth of these lies is unfathomable at times even to me.
When I discovered a few years back that bacteria was used in animal husbandry and medicine BEFORE antibiotics for the same purpose with better success, and virtually no side effects... not to mention affordably, I dropped jaw.
