Greetings! Thank you,
Веретенников Сергей
, for covering the topic of probiotics! I would like to share my experience of using hay bacillus (Bacillus subtilis), mentioned by
Веретенников Сергей
in post 2 of this topic. According to Wikipedia, Subtilis translates from Latin into Russian as thin, delicate, or elegant. In Russian, субтильный also refers to a thin person. I purchased hay bacillus from one of the online marketplaces back in November 2024. I used it for some time after purchasing it, following the instructions in the description, but did not notice any particular effects and safely put the remainder in the refrigerator. In January 2025, I took part in KEI sessions conducted by Master 873415 to overcome addictions. After these sessions, my craving for fatty and sweet foods decreased substantially (in my view, the former developed after COVID and the latter after I quit smoking). Encouraged by the information provided by
Веретенников Сергей
, I resumed taking hay bacillus around late April or early May 2025, GRADUALLY increasing the recommended dose to be taken orally with water from 2 to 6–8 times the stated amount. By the time I resumed taking hay bacillus, I had settled into eating twice a day: at 11 a.m.–1 p.m. and 5–6 p.m. As a result of taking hay bacillus, I noticed a sharp decrease in appetite—to be honest, I had never imagined that a probiotic could have such an effect. My craving for sweet and fatty foods decreased even further; my weight dropped by 5–6 kg, and my skin became clearer. In addition, I breathe using the Frolov breathing simulator. After I began taking hay bacillus regularly, I noticed an increase in the duration of the respiratory pause (inhalation/exhalation), which I had not previously been able to achieve. Following my recommendation, relatives aged 74–75 took hay bacillus and reported the opposite effect: their appetite increased, although it had previously been low. I added hay bacillus to the food of a fifteen-year-old cat. Although the cat tried every possible way to avoid taking it, after consuming it the cat became more physically active: it started running and playing, which it had rarely done lately; its shedding also decreased. I assume that the effects listed above from taking hay bacillus are connected with its ability to suppress pathogenic microflora. Those wishing to repeat my experience with hay bacillus should remember that each person’s age, health, metabolism, and microflora are individual, and a probiotic may work differently for different people. Be attentive and cautious when increasing the recommended amount! Stay healthy!
