>Probiotic microorganisms must be of human origin in order to have an impact on human health (Teitelbaum and Walker, 2000).
That's a downright ludicrous claim, unless they're claiming priobiotic == human origin by definition, and not the more normal definition of "beneficial microorganisms, regardless of source". If this were true, then there would never be any probiotics, except for ones where our own cells mutated into bacteria. They came from somewhere. We don't have them all in all of us. That alone eliminates your entire argument.
