Biofilms 101
We hear so much about biofilms and why we need to “bust them” but what is the big deal with biofilms?
Let’s start with the first question:
What are biofilms??
Biofilms are a group of microorganisms like bacteria, fungus, viruses, and parasites whose cells stick together and then become protected by a thin layer of slimy material.
The biofilms act as a layer of protection for these pathogens so that they can survive in the body.
How do biofilms impact my health??
When they are surrounded by biofilms, pathogens often go undetected. People go to their doctors to run blood labs and get told “nothing is wrong” because they have seemingly normal white blood cell counts. Many doctors think there cannot possibly be a pathogen present or the white blood cell count would spike in their attempt to kill of said pathogen.
Yes your white blood cells, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes may be normal but that’s not because there are no pathogens in your body, that is because the pathogens are hiding in your body.🏻
How do I bust biofilms??
Busting biofilms is key to getting to fixing your health. Like I said before, these pathogens lie under the radar because of biofilms. So if you keep doing kill protocol after kill protocol to fix your Candida/SIBO/parasites without busting biofilms first you’re missing a BIG step.
Biofilms are also very tricky to bust through, I find most clients need 2-3 biofilm busters in order to release the pathogens. In this case, the more the better- but only under the care of a practitioner.
My favorite biofilm busters:
Cellcore’s Hydroxygen
Cellcore’s CT minerals
There are many biofilm busters out there but these are my favorites to use with clients. They have multiple other functions that most clients need.
However, once we bust those biofilms it’s also necessary to have a killer and binder included in the protocol. So that not only are you releasing pathogens, but we are properly killing and binding to them so they can be properly eliminated!
Again, I don’t advise doing any of this if you’re not under the care of a practitioner. Protocols can be tricky and every individual is different- you have to find someone who helps you find a protocol that is right for your body.
