Thanks for link for the lb. Looks interesting. This bit of info. I would like to add. When milk cultures are grown, like kefir or yogurts, the closer to body temp the more bacteria will be present, the colder the temp, more yeasts will grow. Many probiotics contain bovine bacteria which won't implant in our intestines. And those that do use human bacteria are mostly grown on lactose or other sugars which if one was to reculture those products, to be successful one would have the best luck using the culturing medium used in the manufacturing process. If someone like myself who doesn't eat dairy and has very few carbs moving through my intestines, I think it would be next to impossible to culture those specific bacteria on a fat and protein growth medium. Also many many probiotics aren't acid resistant to make it through the stomach's acids and the small intestines high ph. to start to grown and take hold in the colon. Many are enteric coated to pass through the stomach to then release.... I suspect low carb eaters have an entirely different specie of bacteria than do carb or especially milk product uses that includes lactose. Years ago when I practically lived on goats milk ( I have goats on green pasture still, but not milking) I bought from a culture company very specific human strains of bacteria. Including the L. Bifidum that we're innocculated at birth with through mother's colostrum and through the birthing process itself. I made quart batches of my own bacteria cultures using many trillions counts of these cultured in whey powder which I grew like yogurt. These types of Bacteria reproduce every ten to twenty minutes, which means after innoculating for ten to twenty hours one can do the math and see that the numbers of live bacteria were astronomical. I then implanted these while floating in a warm tub of water to reduce the stress on my intestines. I did many of these. All the while consuming a half gallon of goat mild a day. I did indeed support a very healthy large population of these specific bacteria growing and living nicely in my colon.
Since then having given up carbs and milk sugars, I doubt many of these bacteria exist and am now a host for a protein fat based bacteria.
I would like to try innoculating meat with the lb product. But still question whether it would thrive or grow on a pure protein substance. Maybe it would do better on liver which has carbs. I did some minor looking on the net to see what meat/sausage producers are using. Mostly well guarded, but understand it's a very specific specie. Hanging meat or airing it in jars I suspect one would end up with what's in the prevailing wind, or what is floating in your kitchen as you air it out. Living on the ocean in Northern Ca. we have lots of tree fungus and mold that thrives in this moist cool envirorment. I always come back to soil based organisms, and probably that's why the lb. seems promising. So after a lot of rambling,,,, who knows.
