Soil Based Organisms (SBOs) (Bacillus Subtilis and Bacillus Lichenformis) have been shown to inactivate HIV, SIV and other lipid-enveloped viruses, along with mycoplasmas, fungus and bacteria by producing ‘surfactin’ – a lipopeptide antibiotic. Lipid-enveloped viruses include: HIV, HHV-6 (strains A and B), EBV, CMV and herpes.
In one follow-up of the effects of SBOs on 100 people, all but one reported some sort of improvement. SBOs cause a favorable shift in the TH1/TH2 balance. Adverse reactions seem to be limited to excess dosage or a die-off of other organisms as cellular immunity is enhanced. While many noticed improvements in the first two weeks, some required up to 2 or 3 months of use before they found benefit.
