From what I can tell 'Bactium' is probiotics... Probiotics are very good for you for many reasons.  They add positive flora to your intestinal tract.  Positive flora does many things.  It helps you digest your food.  It boosts your immune system and it is a cleanser.  Because probiotics are a cleanser your body will rid it's self of toxins.  Toxins lie in many areas of the body and one of those places are your joints.  So, yes... probiotics equals probiotics.  They have done wonders for me.

If Bactium is combined with MSM it will reduce your joint pain as that is an anti-inflamitory.

I think  you're talking about Bactrum, which is an antibiotic. All you can do is take probiotics for bronchitis, or whatever you have , and see if they shorten the duration or the severeity  of it. My g. friend swears by silver sol. i.e. coloidal silver. She said it helped her cats with all their skin bumps, and scabs, and inflammation, and itching.It comes in a gel, or a liquid that you can take for  your ails.
