The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations that acts as a coordinating authority on international public health. The WHO was established in 1948 and is currently headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
According to the currently adopted definition by the World Health Organization probiotics refers to “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”.
A good example of a probiotic relationship is that between a human being and the friendly and beneficial bacteria that reside in the human intestine. Another excellent example is the active microbes in yogurt which when ingested make humans healthier.
The reason we have brought this up is because we recently saw the SCOE 10X cleaning product advertising that it was probiotic.
According to the definition crafted by a leading scientific body the World Health Organization the claim that any household cleaning product is probiotic cannot possibly be true.
For a probiotic relationship to exist both parties to the relationship and in this example it would be the SCOE10X cleaning product and the wall to wall carpeting would have to be recognized as biological life forms.
We are familiar with microbes for cleaning however since the objects SCOE 10X is trying to clean are not alive there can not be any probiotic relationship. We believe that it is incorrect for SCOE10X to claim that it employs probiotics or has a probiotic relationship with any articles that it is cleaning since this is not possible.
Colon cleansers are good examples of cleaning products where the friendly and beneficial bacteria confer some healthy benefits to the host. Think of how good you will feel when the colon cleansers do their jobs.
