Probiotics are truly a timeless concept. Initially standard components of the human diet, potentially beneficial bacteria and yeast have been eliminated systematically through modern methods of preparing and preserving foods. Although the concept of probiotics is not new, the science of probiotics is in its infancy. Only recently have techniques been developed to identify, culture, and produce the probiotics that are suitable for medical use consistently. Furthermore, the potential uses for these organisms may extend far beyond what originally was thought. In no way should probiotics be thought of as a panacea for the diseases described earlier; however, when used appropriately, they represent a potentially beneficial adjunct to other proved therapies and have the added benefit of providing a stabilizing influence on the delicate balance between the ecosystem that consists of the human and its flora.
