Summary: In this primer, Dr. Lee explains the science behind his bowel-normalizing product Acidophilus Yeast (known today as Lactic Acid Yeast). This special “mycelium type yeast” converts any dietary carbohydrate into lactic acid within the colon. This not only acidifies the bowel—thus killing potentially dangerous microorganisms that thrive in a more alkaline environment—but also releases enzymes that aid in digestion and provides bulk to stool, all of which help ensure normal bowel movement. “It has been demonstrated time and time again,” Lee writes, “that the stools of patients who are constipated are, in a very large majority, alakin[e]…. The lactic acid acts as a stabilizer of the hydrogen ion concentration in the colon.” Circa 1940.
