Bacteria Test: How does the bacteria test work?

You put the water sample in the small bottle, being careful not to spill the powder in the bottle, fill to 1/2" below the top (cold water side), shake well, place on shelf and in 48 hrs, if it turns a yellow color, there's bacteria present, violet or blue, no bacteria. It does not tell you specifically which bacteria. Some reviews have reported a yellow/blue result, so it's inconclusive (my tests have all been pretty conclusive). If you get that, you might have your water tested professionally for a conclusive test. Only one test is included for each of the variants.

Stress, dietary indiscretions, really anything that causes inflammation kills good gut bacteria. it also has a life cycle in your gut and as it proliferates it also sloughs the old. So you need a high number of bacteria. Heavy duty probiotics such as 'vsl' brand have an insanely high number of bacteria. twice the amount than in colon care. That one is for use by people with ulcerative colitis and severe IBD. So yes these numbers are very meaningful. but also the types of bacteria chosen for colon care are synergistic or symbiotic. Many people have a good base of good bacteria residing and some people can't seem to develop a good thriving base of gut flora and have to replenish constantly. I am that person. I wasnt nursed as a child and was delivered cesarian. So my gut flors was nil. I appreciated the kind of bacteria present in this product and the high number of them.

I first heard about this product on one of PBS's. America's Test Kitchen shows. I believe they said that the "antibacterial" products killed more bacteria but used bleach or a pesticide to accomplish the higher percentage of bacteria killed, Method did almost as well with their plant based extracts.

It is very easy to use! No cup needed. It is a longish handled test strip that is held in the urine stream. And my Dr. told me that they are very accurate, as they test for two separate markers to determine if you have a UTI!

This product was recommended to me by a natural doctor. She explained to me that this has the same strains of good bacteria as the regular formula PLUS strains of bacteria found in the female reproductive system. This is the difference that I understand.

Sorry. I don't know. Doesn't say. All it says is "14bil at time of manufacture. Bacteria count will vary after time of manufacture."

Guess the proof is in the pudding. I tried higher counts for cultures and had no results tried this product and got great results.

Water color change indicates coliform bacteria but a black light is needed to indicate E-coli. You hold sample near blacklight if water color changes and E-coli's presence will cause the liquid to glow. No glow, no E-coli. If you are only interested in coliform bacteria you do not need a black light.

I have used the monitor for one yr. It may not be accurate comparing to lab test. But, it is good enough for users to get the result right away. Each test may take up to two minutes. You will take some blood from your finger with supplied tool and put blood on the testing strip, which is insert to the monitor. Then, monitor will provide a reading. It is a handy, do-yourself monitor.

I don't know, not sure if there's a way to tell now. I've used it for the past few months and have had any major health problems. If you know how to test let me know.

I really can't tell if it's doing anything. I usually do a quick detox. I take 1 tbsp every 2 hours for one day with lots of water. And then I hope it's eliminating the toxins :). I haven't been sick at all or had any health problems. But of course, that could also be attributed to my diet, exercise and the fact that I take my probiotic.

It works by swabbing your dog's mouth, sending swabs in a provided box. It takes about two weeks to get the results. There are no other fees for the results. You will get a great report giving you all the info on all the different breeds your dog is

No... it's design to break down the cellular walls and destroy the DNA of weaker bacteria, viruses, mold and other micro organisms. The odor reducing is from it killing off the bacteria. so it won't "poop" and leave it stink everywhere. You know why your mouth stinks in the morning or why your under arms smell after working out? Yup, that's from bacteria "poop".

That cross-contamination myth is exactly that. It's a just another rumor exaggerated by OSHA to justify its existence. Wood has natural enzymes that actually kill bacteria. it has been demonstrated in many independent studies that plastic boards actually harbor MORE bacteria than wood boards, but once a government myth has been promulgated, the government can never be wrong. Take so-called "global warming" or the government "healthy" "food pyramid" as perfect examples of falsehoods that never die.

the pad will pick up 99% of bacteria, but you have to rinse ti in hot water to get rid of the bacteria.
