Dr. Dilis Clare:

Another significant area is probiotics. Most doctors now advise people to go to their health food store for probiotics. Whether one calls these products a medicine or food, they fall exactly into the middle ground. Significant research has been done and presented internationally by Cork University Hospital. A particular brand has been researched and must be sold mainly through agencies that require the products to be sold at two or three times the price to ordinary customers. Be that as it may. There will be a major argument on what is a food and what is a medicine. People are increasingly being advised by their doctors to buy probiotics at a health food store after a regular course of antibiotics.
