I ordered my MAF 878 through my naturopath. His office just called to say that it arrived leaking badly and unsafe for sale. I think I've read comments about others experiencing broken seals on arrival, so I'm raising the safety concern. The packaging obviously needs attention. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with the problem myself.
Hi Sasha, thanks for the tip for things to mix with the MAF878 to try and take away the sick smelling awfulness of it.
The MAF314 returned some immediate good effects in the first month. The MAF878 however, is proving either to have little effect on me in a good way OR is just slower to show these good effects.
I think that I might improve my chances by doing the swishing around the mouth though.
For the past few days I've not taken any MAF878 as I developed terrible pain from my spine and radiating down my arms and legs. Been very weak on the right side even down to my hands and legs. Black spots before my eyes. Could have been the MAF878 or something else. I'm not sure.
Starting again today and I hope I have some stevia to add to it.
Hi erist - I don't know for sure but I seem to remember reading somewhere on the forum that you can't reculture - it gets further and further from the original culture.Is it possible to re-culture from the starter dose? (ie; use some of the yogurt you make to make even more yogurt) the way you would do with any other ferment/culture? Or do you have to order a new starter every month?
