well, although I'm a fan of horse paste, I'm not sure about this one.

Lufenuron (Program®) is a chitin synthase inhibitor of the benzoylphenyl urea class.

The precise mechanism of action of lufenuron, a member of the benzoylphenylurea (BPU) class, is not known. However, while it does not directly inhibit chitin synthase, there is evidence that it inhibits the γ-S-GTP stimulated uptake of Ca2+ by chitin microfiber-containing excretory vesicles, disrupting vesicle fusion with the outer cell membrane and cuticle formation in exposed insects.

maybe it will serve scare me enough to nake me stop eating cookies...

no I have not, but will look it up now! also it sounds like saccharomyces boulardii might be one of those things I used to take and probably need to start again... thanks Frances.

I've read that it is used as part of a candida protocol breaking down the cell walls of candida.
