Hey Nancy Donna Gates has 2 interesting articles that refer to brewer's yeast here: Are You Dangerously Deficient in Taurine? Nutritional Yeast: The Good and the Bad and What You Need to Know If You Seek a Stronger Immune System Personally, I have not had success taking it. I do have a tendency toward candida. Its good that nature provides us with so many remedies, because we all may require something a bit different. on the same note: I really love de-lenolate (olive leaf extract) and oil of oregano for candida related illness. Have agood one! Gina

I am very interested in the probiotic agents in Brewer's Yeast. While having taken Brewer's Yeast as a child for skin problems, staphyloccal infections/boils etc, I find it has many other beneficial effects especially against candida, vaginitis, many fungal infections, balancing agent for the intestinal tract when diarrhea occurs and even may lower cholesterol. The small amounts of chromium may help diabetics to balance their insulin requirements and provides a boost to the immune system. More importantly I am very interested in discovering if Brewer's Yeast may have an effect on the rising occurrence of Staph Aureus in the form of Methicillin Resistant Stap (MRSA). As a nurse and the daughter of a nurse I marvel at this inexpensive organic agent that can resolve conditions better than some medications. What can you tell me about Brewer's Yeast?

Hey Meir, Glad this helped you. Macrobiotics dates back to ancient China. While it does govern what foods we put in our bodies, it is much more of a way of life than something like Atkins. Macrobiotics is a vegetarian diet that teaches us to eat foods that are local, and that our diets will change during times of personal stress or climate changes etc. Its about keeping balance in our bodies by providing ourselves with the proper nutrition as our needs change. I found this website that offers some help -- Wholesome Balance - Macrobiotics

Thank you so much. I hear these terms so often. Recently mentioned on Oprah but I usually have no idea what they are or mean.

I am still a little unclear on macriobiotics. What kind of plan is it? Is it like the Atkin’s diet??

Awesome article. To be honest, I wasn’t too sure about the term “macrobiotics.” It was labeled on a lot of the prepared food I purchased at Whole Foods, but just assumed that it was a certain way it was grown. Thanks, Gina!
