Biofilm Update

[KarenF]

Hi,

I went to a lyme doctor today and had a PICC line put in. I will be getting IV Rocephin and taking 250 mg oral Arithromycin on Monday, Wed and Friday, then I will take 500 mg oral Ceftin twice a day on Sat and Sunday when I will not be getting the IV. I am also suppsoed to take Butyrate by Body Bio twice a day to help protect my gallbladder as well as VSL #3 three times a day.

 

I am also takingo taking Nattokinase twice a day as well as Cowden's Banderol and Samento to kills biofilms. My doctor said that he learned to add this for the biofilms at a conference he recently went to in Phila by Columbia University. Has anyone heard of that?

 

I have a strange question. My sinuses have been clogged and I started taking Mucinex. Has anyone had that problem? I will ask the doctor tomorrow if its ok to be taking Mucinex with the other stuff he gave me. I finally have a treatment started. I pray it goes well.

 

Thanks for listening,

Karen

I just wanted to say best wishes on your upcoming treatment--

Hang in there!

Nattokinase is becoming a fairly common thing for films, tho I have no direct experience. I would ask your doctor about the Mucinex, as it too is a film buster in a sense (films are kinda slimy, like mucus). Probably fine, but just better to run it by him.

 

The sinus issue could be MARCONs or mold, so you may also want to discuss these with your doctor as well.

 

Because you're taking oral abx, make sure you take probiotics to protect your gut. Sacc Boulardis is resistant to abx and is good to include in any probiotic blend.

 

Hope it all goes well!

Had not heard of samento and banderol for biofilm. I know cistus incanus tea and serrapeptase worked great for me. Nattokinase was okay but not nearly as powerful, and I have heard others speak more highly of serrapeptase compared to nattokinase.

Thank you everyone.

Michael or someone, could you tell me how you knew the serrapeptase was working to break down the biofilms or how I would know if the nattokinase is strong enough? I am not sure what to watch for.

 

I ordered the sacc so I will take that and the vsl#3. hopefully together they will prevent me from getting candida.
