I'm just starting on Primal Defense after using up my last bottle of probiotic supplement, and I'm curious what everyone else's experience has been with them. I chose them primarily because it included a few strains I hadn't taken before.
I've read a few things online about their "homeostatic soil organisms" and their questionable safety, so I'm curious if anyone has had a bad experience with this particular supplement. I do know that it now only includes one strain of HSO, whereas it used to have a lot more. Curious that they would remove some...
I also find it strange that it doesn't require refrigeration.
The founder of Primal Defense is a quack. http://www.quackwatc...1Ind/rubin.html
Rubin's press materials state that he has degrees in naturopathic medicine and nutrition and is certified as a nutritional consultant [4]. However, none of his "credentials" have any legitimate academic or professional standing:
- His "NMD" (naturopathic medical doctor) is from the Peoples University of the Americas School of Natural Medicine, a nonaccredited school with no campus.
- His "PhD" is from the Academy of Natural Therapies, a nonaccredited correspondence school that the State of Hawaii ordered to close in 2003.
- His "CNC" (Certified Nutritional Consultant) comes from the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, whose only requirement for "professional member" status has been payment of a $50 or $60 fee. The CNC requires passage of a test based mainly on the contents of books that promote nutrition quackery [5].
