I like to call homemade raw milk kefir yogurt on steroids. A quart of kefir (homemade from raw milk) has far more active bacteria than you can possibly purchase in any probiotics supplement. Additionally, yogurt contains transient beneficial bacteria that keep the digestive system clean and provide food for the friendly bacteria that reside there. But kefir can actually colonize the intestinal tract, a feat that yogurt cannot match. Kefir contains several major strains of friendly bacteria not commonly found in yogurt, Lactobacillus Caucasus, Leuconostoc, Acetobacter species, and Streptococcus species. It also contains beneficial yeasts, such as Saccharomyces kefir and Torula kefir, which dominate, control and eliminate destructive pathogenic yeasts in the body. They do so by penetrating the mucosal lining where unhealthy yeast and bacteria reside, forming a virtual SWAT team that housecleans and strengthens the intestines. Hence, the body becomes more efficient in resisting such pathogens as E. coli and intestinal parasites. Kefir is incredibly easy to make homemade and much cheaper than storebought kefir. Keep in mind that storebought kefir is usually made with fractioned (lowfat) milk (which actually causes weight gain) and, unless it is plain, contains a substantial amount of refined sugar which negates the benefits of the probiotics.
