Ive posted here before that Mrs Stomper Phd is a researcher in Viral oncology. At a meeting at the National Institute of health today they were dicussing my cancer. A fellow researcher asked her if she had read his paper in Science (a VERY well respected, peer reviewed publication. The study discovered that cancerous mice being treated with drugs like Optiva/Nivo (Checkpoint inhibitors) do significantly better if given live yoghurt containing the Bifidus bacterium. Most but not all live yoghurts contain Bifidus

I would want to stress that this is research in the very early stages, hence the mice. But its well Kosher and respectable being published in peer reviewed 'Science'

Anyway ladies and gentlespoons get out and buy that yoghurt with bifidus!

Sometimes its good to be married to an oncologist:-)

The oncologist who wrote the paper and spoke to my wife, when he found out what drug I was on apparently said, "If I was him I'd be eating yoghurt every day"

So I will.

    Interesting

    And for those that don't like yogurt, you can take a probiotic that contains Bifidus. 

    Thank you for posting this info, always interesting to read the latest in research.

    Wisdom of Mrs Stomper

    Best in yoghurt or some other living dairy culture, You can find it in some milk or milk products like keffir. Living is better than pills , pills are better than nothing. Remember this is very early stage research

    I think I dated Bifidus in high school

    I think you can get liquid bifidus in the refridgerated section at health food stores for those that don't like yogurt. I am pretty sure you can actually purchase them.
