Cultivating bacteria that are part of our natural gut flora to replenish lost ones isn't a bad idea. I have a sneaking feeling that the 7 years I spent taking antibiotics for repeat instances of tonsillitis probably knocked out all my Oxalobacter formigenes, and this is why I have kidney stones. I'm willing to bet that if someone came up with an Oxalobacter yogurt culture and I ate it, I'd kiss goodbye to kidney stones without having to drink like a fish.
