Re: SBO's without SBO's (false advertising) consumer beware
I don't understand how you are so certain that Primal Defense is EM.
The list of organisms in Primal Defense is very different than the one in EM.
There are also other products which are similar to EM for use in fish ponds and the like. Why EM is better is that Dr. Higa found an ideal balance between the 9 strains of microorganisms present.
Primal Defense does not claim to contain any of the PNSB, the phototrophic which are at the root of EM. They're the one that seem to create the terrain for the bacterias and yeasts to cohabit.
A product made entirely of PNSB:

I recently found this, it looks a lot like EM:

Lb Bulgaricus can be another name for Delbrueki, Boulardii is a strain of Cerevisiae, Lactobacillus sporogenes DOES NOT EXIST. By definition, no Lb. organisms form spores! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus_sporogenes).
No Lb. Subtilis in EM.
