Comment Re:Innocent until proven guilty etc? (Score 1) 34

In this day and age, most police and sheriff's departments have arrest details on their websites, or other social media feeds such as facebook. So even in the absence of a local police blotter, the info is still a public record. Jails have public records, usually accessed via their web pages, of who is incarcerated.

I don't think you know Christians as a whole. Catholics, perhaps, with the idea of confession and absolution but a huge number of protestant sects don't believe it - or rather, believe that forgiveness is divine and you have no idea if you will be forgiven, so don't do it in the first place.

Ah but we also have "One is innocent until proven guilty." So what's worse, knowing about a court case going on because someone was arrested based on probable cause for something, versus an allegation made of inappropriate behavior on twitter that causes loss of job or whatever but you're totally innocent of - but have no way of proving this?

The nice thing about this one, since it is yeast based, it is good to take with antibiotics, if you need to take them. My wife has long term digestive issues from celiac disease - she's been gluten free for more than 4 decades. This has also helped that - she still doesn't eat gluten, of course, since this doesn't change one's genetics, but she has fewer other issues. I take it too -- and I told a friend of mine who had pretty serious IBS and she told me that one capsule daily (they suggest to take 2) got her off her several hundred dollars per month prescription med because her symptoms went away. Obviously this is one case, but I was really glad for her. But it seems to have pretty far ranging effects. As I understand it, this was the first probiotic discovered, in France, reasonably early in the 20th century. But do not quote me on this.

I would suggest the probiotic, Florastor. It saved my wife's life from a hospital acquired infection - and has improved her digestion considerably. I have absolutely no financial interest in it, but your comments reminded me much of where she was 7 years ago, and she's way healthier now.
