Personally, I think the whole lot is unnecessary. I don't bother with all the hocus pocus and I've never been sick in Bali... and I definitely am the sort of person who gets ill with bad food at home.
But if people want to chug that vile tasting liquid mould (yakult) or pop "friendly bacteria" pills, or swig on raspberry juice, more power to them. The power of the placebo should never be underestimated.
