What do soil-based microorganisms have to do with humans?
Soil-based microorganisms are also known as probiotics. Each human being usually has a bout 2.5 pounds of these microorganisms. They are the primary food digesters and the defense mechanism against the outside world. When one consumes antibiotics or has severe diarrhea, constipation, or had a severe bout of vomiting, one can lose quite a bit of probiotics and thus start a long-term problem with poor digestion, lowered immune system, etc.
