Anyway I see the uni selected for some more research
Here is part of the company comment on it
"This research programme with the University of Manchester aims to widen our understanding of the role that the microbiome plays within the immune system, and how it can be used to support ..]"
.......
Widen understanding of role with immune system ? Is this why no direct health claims today? Fair enough

I first heard about this product just around the time of the trial results being published. There were some people on here making much of the fact that Manchester University scientists had been involved in the deveopment as signs of independent scientific rigour. After five minutes checking online i found that Ms O'Neil was a former director of the parent compoany, my first thought was "vested interest" and not "scientific independence".
However I see that someone else here sees it as a sign of "a body of science" behind the product.
At the end of the day, it is a probiotic, and as such it does well if it even survives in the stomach long enough to make any difference to the gut flora. Many probiotics do not. But even if it does not make any difference to someone's psoriasis, it is unlikely to harm them, except maybe their bank-balance. So people are obviously free to try it and see if it makes any difference.

Psoriasis is supposed to be caused by gut problems. If that's true, probiotics will help."
As far as I know, the "leaky gut" hypothesis is still just that. As far as I know, nobody is claiming to have identified speciofic "causes" of psoriasis, but there do seem to be some common "triggers".
Surely the words "supposed" and "if that's true" covered that...

Hi JT -Ive been reading some interesting articles about fake reviews. On sites such as Amazon, people are paid to leave fake reviews - they can categorically say they are nothing to do with the company as they aren't. connected to it. Ive found at least 11 ringers on here. The don't say ,like you did, 'Ive been trying a pro biotic, I'll see how it goes' - they mention the name in any post, frequently with a link to the company, and then go on to wax lyrical about it, despite the fact that it only became available 3 weeks ago.. I'm not sure I am going to review this one, after all, as it is just going to bring in the next batch of false reviews.
Lizzie, I get your point but I reallt want to read your genuine review. Just let me know how...
Re reviews on Amazon. I always concentrate on the 4 star reviews as all the fake ones *always* give 5 stars to skew the overall rating.
I've had two companies contact me from there after purchase, offering me free stuff for my review. One insisted on 5 stars so I ignored them, the other just wanted an honest review, which was fine by me.

ok,JT - perhaps I will then, but I'm pretty fed up with this companies methods - perhaps I will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they didn't know about it? I can't post my email address on here or they will deluge me with rubbish! - I certainly won't be saying 'I wish they had brought it in decades ago' but perhaps it will help me.

I doubt they know. Research suggests they don't spend half their days on financial websites etc acting like users
indeed, but I would expect them to glance at this forum from time to time as it is their area of expertise, and it didn't stop at all - it's been going on since June.
Good evening all. This two months is dragging. Any updates yet?
Has anyone got a list of all associations globally? Asking for my relation who intends to do some deep research
