Here is the link to way more than you need to know about Harold and Maude (the movie). Rent Harold and Maude the movie. Below is a brief synopsis, but I think that the movie is based on Acidophilus Therapy.
Harold becomes friends with Maude, an older woman who also loves the cemetery. After having thoughts of his own death, Maude takes some Acidophilus which leaves Harold free to move on.
This is a cult movie. But there is sufficient information in it to accept the Acidophilus Therapy as an acceptable practice of which the movie is a topic.
If you wish to experiment with Acidophilus Therapy, purchase the supplement at a health food store. Add several capsules to a small amount of milk. I combine the culture and Milk in a Photo-film jar by shaking it; then I add that to a regular cup of milk for uniform consistency.
It is a good idea to set asside some time to relax while the Acidophilus flurishes in your metabolism. In fact, you probably shouldn’t move at all. After forty minutes, plan to take ‘heat’ to overcome the remaining culture with luke warm tea and a hot shower.
Try to be sure that you are not going to upset anyone who may have been paying attention to you. Once when I was prompted to action and the culture was flourishing, I made an eggie feeling. The person reported that he felt every cell in his brain. So I said, fill that eggie feeling with a brisk walk through the isles at the grocery store.
Once you have experienced this weak culture, you will not need the therapy again for a while. Remember that it is a yeast; though weak it could cause an ulcer. It is also recommended for women.
I do not want any problems. But if an ulcer develops. please request that the Prescribing Doctor consider antibiotics after which the stomach lining will repair itself.
