    From the article:

    “How do these friendly bacteria slow down the immune system?

    The immune system is a system of white cells throughout the body. They talk to each other through chemical messengers. We?re learning that the microflora also makes some chemical messengers, and those chemical messengers are important signals to the immune system to slow down. The other thing probiotics can do is there are other bacteria that live inside us that can make chemical messengers, but they are bad signals. Probiotics elbow out the bad bacteria.”

    Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?  Intelligent immune suppression?
