title: Probiotics and allergy: Current understanding and application for the PCCP (Primary Care Chiropractic Physician).
abstract: The exceptional growth of allergies in recent years has been attributed to an increase in hygienic conditions which is linked to an under development of the immune system. This can be counteracted by the use of beneficial bacterial cultures (probiotics) which can provide a safe alternative for immune development.
