- Biofilm Busters for Gut Infections: DO YOU NEED THEM?// Treatment resistant gut infections are sometimes due to microbial biofilms. In this video, I discuss what is biofilm, what is a biofilm buster, what to use for gut biofilm breakdown, and how to get rid of biofilm. This is valuable for those with SIBO, IBS, any kind of dysbioisis or other gut infection.

Thanks for watching! Have you ever used a biofilm buster? What was your experience? Tell me in the comments!
Thank you so much. I've been very sick for 5 years. I have chronic Lyme disease/ morgellons disease. Its been hell. I also have very bad biofilm around my skin. I keep getting fevers and vomiting. Would these bio busters work for biofilm on skin? Thanks.
@@nicolaroberts4405 my oldest son has chronic Lyme, and the Biofilm Phase 2 product is the one my Naturopath has recommended. My son uses it 5 days on, 2 days off, and really finds benefit from it. It's a long term strategy, but he really notices that symptoms are less under control when he's not using it, or if we run out. I hope that helps, and thank you so much for watching.
Yes I’ve been using Interfase plus and I’m not impressed with it when trying to deal with Candida.
Only a few months in at two capsules per day and it has made symptoms much worse .I thought it was die off but I have since found out on a forum that is has something in it that may feed Candida .So it weakens the biofilms but feeds the Candida at the same ,a vicious cycle that makes Candida even more aggressive.than before .My advice is stay well away from Klaire Labs Interfase Plus if you have Candida.. I believe the Cellulase in it feeds Candida . What is the name of biofilm buster you mentioned in this video ,I didn’t catch ? I’m trying to find an alternative that won’t feed the little critter.
Also I just wonder if you have ever heard of Micheal Biamonte ? He’s an expert in Candida and has some podcasts on Apple called the “ The Candida Chronicles “. Been listening and I’m shocked at how intelligent Candida is it’s brilliant at survival ,very devious pathogen .Just been doing some research on it and according to him the antifungals should always be rotated every 21 days . .He’s not keen on the keto diet either and believes the ketones may actually feed the Candida ,very interesting but controversial I’m sure .
@@jazzycattruthkitten4101 the other biofilm product is called Biofilm Phase 2. I haven't heard about your candida expert, that's kind of interesting...thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thanks for that .Not sure about my negative reaction to Interfase ,perhaps I was just allergic to something in it .Michael Biamonte is interesting,I believe he has a 90 % success rate with his candida patients ,that’s good going ,a lot of his patients were treatment resistant .
Thank you very much! Extremely helpful! 🙏 I’ve been taking NAC+bromelain and ALA for antinfiammatory purposes and noticed immediate relief of my SIBO/IBS symptoms, I now know why! I knew my issues were caused by fungal overgrowth, but taking standard natural antimicrobicals worsened my constipation… when I shifted to a carnivore diet (especially fatty fish) rich in garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, apple cider vinegar + rosemarin & grapefruit seeds supplements things got better, but NAC + bromelain and ALA were real game-changers. I’m now reintroducing resistant starch, a very little bit once a day in order to nourish butyrrate-producing bacteria, very important for constipation… Here is the list:
1. NAC: n-acetyl-cysteine;
2. alpha-lipoid acid ALA;
3. coconut oil / mct oil;
4. Enzymes
5. Biofilm Phase-2 advanced (supplement).
Binders:
1. GI detox;
2. Activated charcoal (might increase constipation);
3. Bentonite clay.
I took a biofilm buster (Fibrenza) for 2 weeks prior to a GI Map stool test. Immediately the white crud vanished from my tongue and my constipation vanished. GI Mao test came back with H. Pylori - which I’ve since read can form a biofilm. So - I highly recommend them to help isolate your root cause!
Nicely done, and very good use of observation. This kind of insight can really help you solve your case. Though biofilm can be caused by many organisms besides H pylori! Thanks for watching!
Were you previously negative for H. Pylori, and the biofilm buster was able to free the H Pylori into your stool? Or do you mean that the biofilm buster completely eradicated the H. Pylori on its own.
Btw sorry to bother you but Im getting tested for a suspected H Pylori infection and I’m worried that the biofilm might cause a false negative
@@ConfluenceNutrition hey I’m planning to do a gi map test by Great Plains lab
My previous tests didn’t show many organism . But a year ago it showed klebsiella citrobacter and enterobacter
May I know how long I should take a biofilm disrupter before my next stool culture
@@desmond89 Usually, the recommendation is 3-7 days. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition oh ok thank you very much
I thought we had to do 2-3 months before a stool test
I use Priorty advanced biofilm plus do to taking Ciproflaxon 2016 and my gut has never been the same. I use to take NAC until Amazon stopped carrying it due to the Gov telling them too. NAC was very helpfully in keeping my gut working for me. PHASE2 I take for three days the first day my stomach feels bad and feel sick 2nd day I start to feel better Bio Film phase2 rids my gut of candida over growth.
Hi Barbara, I'm glad you found an alternative to the NAC. IT is still available in my supplement dispensary, but maybe you need a practitioner go-between to access?
The only supplements that have caused die off for me are both NAC and Phase 2 Advanced that you mentioned. Interestingly, "essiac" has caused the same reaction. The die-off feeling (significant fatigue) reliably increases with increased dosage with each of these supplements. I feel it is safe to conclude that I have biofilms.
Good sleuthing :) Keep up the good work!
Fulvic acid also BLK water is fantastic biofilm buster
BLK water?
Yes I have toenail fungus. I have started biofilm busters 4 weeks ago and already see a big difference in my mail health. Thank you!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Which biofilm buster did you use
@@happybeader7626 I used NAC during my SIBO protocol, and my ND recommends Biofilm Phase 2 by Priority One.
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks for your reply
@@happybeader7626 you're welcome :)
Thank you for this video. My son had onset autism at 3.5 years old last year and Great Plains Lab found an extremely high clostridia called HPHPA in his urine
He finished vancomycin protocol ( 1 day and 2 days off according to Dr William shaw ) and he is finishing antifungal protocol tomorrow.
His speech is back it was completely gone. He can repeat whether I ask him and can wave and point. He is still very far behind for a 4 year old that I used to call parrot because he wouldn't stop talking.
He still has odd behaviors and I didn't know NAC was a biofilm buster.
I will start it on him for a month to see how things go.
Thank you so much for this info.
Hi Dark Angel, wow, what a journey you've been on with your son. I'm thrilled to hear his speech has returned, congratulations! Hopefully the biofilm buster will be helpful, I'm glad I can help.
Glad to hear. How long did he take vanco and what was the dose? Is the antifungal itraconazole?
Is Enzymeeica Digest Gold a good biofilm buster for bacterial or fungus infections?
what would be the best biofilm buster for big toe ulcer which has biofilms?
What is the difference between NAC and NALC? I have N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine on hand and have been taking colloidal silver as it has been helping my digestive symptoms.
Hmmm, I've never heard of NALC, but it's probably just a slightly different form of the supplement. Thanks for watching!
So if somebody gets dental plaque very frequently, even with brushing and flossing daily and perfect diet, do you think there's something going on? I ask cause I also have constipation, bloating and gas, and have noticed I get insane amounts of dental plaques that started when my gut issues started as well
Certainly, this could be a sign that there is a some kind of bacterial problem going on...thanks for watching!
Is it possible to have biofilm and candida on borh eyes? I m loosing my eyesight and see everithing like i m under water.i ve struggled with candida since chilhood...
Hmmm, I don't know, but I've not ever heard of that. Have you been evaluated for cataracts?
What about papain enzyme from the latex of papaya? Would you recommend supplements with latex from papaya against biofilm?
This may be somewhat helpful, but I don't think papaya latex has a reputation for being as strong as a biofilm buster as is needed to effectively deal with chronic biofilms.
I just love your videos! I watched months ago but am rewatching and being reminded of things I forgot! Now to go take some activated charcoal because I’m definitely experiencing side effects from grapefruit seed extract(which I didn’t know was a biofilm buster 😆). Thank you for what you do and the information you provide on RUclips!!
I don't know why I missed this comment from before, but I'm glad you're enjoying my videos :)
I have been battling constipation for a long time. Do you think a biofilm might be to blame? I read that there's IMO which, unlike Sibo, is related to constipation.
Hi Liza, biofilm may be part of your picture, but likely isn't the whole problem. Have you figured out your ideal diet and identified your food triggers? Have you done other things to support your gut?
Beyond these questions, I'm currently interviewing women with gut challenges to learn more about what they best need for a new program I'm designing, would you be interested in meeting with me? If so let me know, and I'll send you a link to schedule a time!
I have been using NAC once a day 1200mg for like 6 months straight for liver kidney detox. Also I use it for OCD as there are some study’s showing it helps with it. I am doing a detox should I up the dose to three a day for X amount of time?
Hi Casey, I can't really answer that because I don't know much about using NAC for detox, so sorry....but I'm curious, has it helped your OCD?
@@ConfluenceNutrition as well as study’s there is a lot of anecdotal stories saying it helps of people I’ve read. Me in particular, not so much.
I’ve been suffering with sinus infections for years, especially when the weather changes. Antibiotics don’t help anymore. I also have chronic heartburn. Will the biofilm busters help with my sinuses?
They cleared up my chronic sinus pain!
If you have it every day, you should have your heart examined. Just hearsay. When I was pregnant I had heartburn every single day.
I was hoping you’d list some legit quality biofilm busters. I don’t know what’s good or what to trust. Some sites look shady and I always feel like if your product isn’t sold in larger stores, something must be wrong with it but I could be wrong. I just don’t want to waste money on something that either won’t work or potentially could hurt me.
Hi Seaglassmomma, my preferred products are NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), Biofilm Defense, or Biofilm Phase II (I think the brand is Priority One?). Biofilm busters are a low and slow-use option, to use alongside whatever antimicrobials you're using.
I use s-acetyl glutathione. Is this a good biofilm buster ?
I'm not sure, I don't know anything about this supplement.
I have tried some.Berberine 1200mg not sure it had any effect, serrapeptase 10mg made me feel sick, there heve been many others. Thank you for what you do.❤😢
Disbiosis die-off can be uncomfortable.
Please this is urgent, any suggestions for antifungals that will not hurt my gastritis? I need to get rid of bad mold colonization, but have gastritis and am afraid to use antifungals.
There are a variety of pharma options and herbal options. I can't give you direct advice on which would be best for you, but the commonly available options to discuss with yoru doctor/ND would be fluconazole, nystatin, grapefruit seed extract, caprylic acid (from coconut), oregano oil, etc.
Is coffe anema good during the protocol??I'm using biofilm busters and no side effects with dysbiosis and h pylori!!
Coffee enemas, in my mind, are more supportive for detoxing the liver and improving peristalsis. IF they are feeling supportive, you can absolutely include them in your protocol. But if they leave you feeling depleted or otherwise unwell, best to leave them a lone. I would more rely on a plain water enema for this purpose once or twice a week, to assist with BMs, especially if constipation is a normal part of your challenge. Thanks for watching!
I have read they can mess with the normal flora of your colon
@@jkow814 hi Jason...certainly, if you are doing them regluarly and frequently, they could affect your flora. Occasional use shouldn't hurt too much.
Can you take Biofilm phase 2 advanced while taking NAC?
Hmmm, you could try it and see what happens. They may have different mechanisms of action. But I would proceed very carefully, and start low and go slow to assess how your body would handle it.
Hello, is Zeolite a biofilm buster? What about EDTA?
No, zeolite (clay) would function as a binder, to help bind up bacteria and other baddies for elimination. EDTA is a biofilm buster, I believe.
Lumbrokinase is probably the best. You missed to mention it.
Hi, what is the dosage of NAC? you say 3 a day but I guess it depends on the product. Thanks
The capsules I have are 900 mg each, so that would be 900 x 3, one with each meal. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition for how long?
@@flufygrowth I used it during my SIBO treatment courses, 3 weeks each. For longer term infections that you are working on with a practitioner, it can be used on an ongoing basis. My ND recommends 5 days on 2 days off.
Mam m getting recurrent uti and vaginal yeast infection plz plz suggest me something fedup of antifungal and antibiotics since last 5 years its persistent... Nd so so challenging...
I have staphylococcus and biofilm which one can you recommend for me please help am dying
Hi there, biofilm busters aren't specific to particular bacteria really...any of the ones mentioned in the video are options.
Will a biofilm disrupter help my Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) ??
Possible, especially if it's been persistent or treatment resistant. Sometimes probiotics can be helpful for BV as well. Thanks for watching!
yes you NEED to use a biofilm disruptor if your infection keeps returning especially with BV there is almost always a biofilm present. Nobody, even natural practitioners, seem to know anything about BV and it's beyond frustrating and should be studied more. Millions of women suffer for years.
So would NAC in small amounts twice a day be good start to treating H pylori and the antibiotics of other methods to wipe it out?
IT might be, you can always test it on yourself to make sure you tolerate it. Thanks for watching!
@@MsDhillon NAC is a biofilm buster, but it's increasingly difficult to find due to recent FDA changes. I doubt if the biofilms on your dental plates are from HP, but are likely from other types of bacteria. To my knowledge, HP mainly lives in the stomach, as it prefers a fairly acidic environment....but in either case, a biofilm buster could be helpful.
Oh my I've been working on my teeth and it seems like I have stirred all this crap up I just don't know what to do I should have left it alone whenever I eat it seems like it gets stuck under my gums and I can't get it out
Yikes, that sounds challenging. Thanks so much for watching...
Hi Amanda. I know they use NAC to Treat overdose of some meds. Do you think it reduces the effectiveness of Fluconazole (wich I'm taking to deal with intestinal Candida)? that is my concern. I dont know if I should take both (NAC and Fluconazole) at same time of day or separate as much as possible... Or maybe completly separating doing cycles (like 1 week NAC, 1 week Fluco, NAC, Fluco...). Thanx for you time.
NAC acts as a biofilm buster, among other things, so from my perspective, it can be a helpful thing to include with an anti-fungal protocol. It can be used at the same time as the antimicrobial, or away from, whatever works best for you. Thanks for watching!
try taking raw garlic crushed instead of Fluco and alternate between garlic and turmeric
@@zing2611 garlic can definitely be used as an antifungal, though as with all herbal remedies, you may need to use longer to get the same effect.
@@ConfluenceNutrition yeah correct. The benefit of using garlic as opposed to fluconazole is that it doesn't wipe out the good bacteria and it prevents cancer rather than potentially causes it. Mice used in testing developed cancer from flucanazole. Most pharmaceutical antibiotics make you feel awful and have a ton of horrible side effects far worse than the original problem that doctors don't even bother to mention when prescribing it. Not to mention, having to most likely deal with a yeast infection afterwards. Each to their own ;)
@@zing2611 I suppose for everyone it's different. I was prescribed fluconazole after my SIBO treatment, and was scared to take it, but I had minimal to no side effects, and it helped improve my symptoms, so *shrug*. No one thing is for everyone, but I'm happy with the benefits I got from that course of treatment. It seems like it was very directly targeted to my particular issue, and worked.
I was recently diagnosed with epi. Zero signs of damage but recovered from campylobacter and h pylori. I'm wondering if this is something not considered by my GI and I heard it could possible affect elastase levels...?
Are you wondering if the infections could have affected your elastase levels? I'm a little confused about your question, can you please clarify it?
@@ConfluenceNutrition hi. Yes, wondering if these infections can damage the pancreas maybe and could biofilm affect elastase levels? . Desperately looking for answers. My PERTs arent doing much to help and trying to figure out is there other issues.
@@richiep3520 Hi Richie, I wouldn't expect biofilms to affect elastase, but the infectious organisms themselves certainly could. H pylori in particular tends to reduce stomach acid levels somewhat, and stomach acid is part of the trigger mechanism for pancreatic enzymes. Have you retested to be sure the infections are gone post treatment? Somehow doctors seem often to not do this...and SIBO could definitely be part of the picture, if you haven't already assessed for that.
@@ConfluenceNutrition I haven't been retested for h pylori but I think I definately should get checked again. Sibo needs tested as it wasn't done.
Epi is so strange when it goes outside the normal pancreatitis/CF or surgery complications. Was stated it is idiopathic but I'm certain it's from previous infections. Im just hoping to have more answers but I may never get them.
This l you for taking the time to write back to me. I very much appreciate it. Take care 🙂
@@richiep3520 You're welcome. I often say that when we don't have a clear cause, sometimes the best we can hope for it to learn from what helps and what makes things worse what the mechanism of the symptoms is. So if treating infections improves your symptoms, this indicates infection is part of it. Keep working for answers, you'll find them!
I am starting a regimen to repair my mucosal lining, but I’m worried i might have biofilms that would get covered over even more by new mucosa. Is this possible, or does it not work that way?
It doesn't really work like that...carry on with your regimen without fear! Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you so much for your reply!! That's helpful to know.
@@jaredwinslow8791 You're welcome!
@@ConfluenceNutrition what about food grade hydrogen peroxide? Biofilms can't survive in an oxygen rich environment right?
@@hardwiredtoselfdestruction3401 This is true in theory. The hydrogen peroxide is something to used with a high level of caution. For all the people who have experienced positive results, there are also those who misused the material and have damaged their guts. Always follow proper dilution, and don't go beyond recommended amounts. Also, as with anything, start low and go slow, to assess where your personal tolerance is. Personally, I think there are other agents that are safer to use.
I found this video while trying to research a product called “restore 3” are you familiar with this? I can’t find much review/information that seems legitimate/ not from the source that sells it
This reply is long overdue, sorry, RUclips retained it! Anyway, I'm not familiar with this product, so sorry, I can't comment on it!
I think that maybe you are looking for something great for leaky guy that used to be Restore. Now it has different name. ION Gut Support by Zach Bush.
Would these biofilm busters remove biofilm from my throat?? Or does it only work for stomach issues?
I'm actually not entirely sure, but I think they would help with biofilm in your throat as well as the rest of your gut...
Which biofilm buster is good for candida yeast infection?
Any of the ones I mentioned can be effective. As far as I know, biofilm busters aren't specific to the specific infections, although that's an interesting thought. But I believe the biofilm is a similar substance no matter which organism is creating it. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you
Should I take biofilm disruptor before or after antibiotics course please ? I am gonna take antibiotics course
I'm not sure if you mean when during the day should you take them, or when in relation to the antibiotics...during the day, ideally, you take the biofilm disruptor on an empty stomach, but if that bothers you or causes nausea or other side effects, you can take with food. And if you meant should you use them during a course of antibiotics, many practitioners recommend yes. My ND recommended this for me, and I've used NAC for my previous two rounds, and she requested I use a different product, Biofilm Phase 2 during this new round I just started. Thanks for watching, and good luck!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Presently I can't afford biofilm disruptor. Can u share me any effective home remedies?
@@virtualrealistic6242 garlic or apple cider vinegar are biofilm disruptors, so perhaps increasing these foods in your diet could help slowly? Good luck, and keep me posted!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks. sure I will update
Im suffering chronic lyme any tips
Fighting Lyme myself, and mostly Bartonella! Try and look into Buhner's herb protocol. I came to a deadlock with treating with antibiotics, and are now experiencing new progress with Buhners herb protocol.. -One tip! Diet is very important!! good luck, hope you get to a better place with this disease from hell..!
Good Afternoom from Spain, my name is Abel and I understand more or less your idea about the problem relationated with bacterial biofilm. In my case, i,ve a bacterial biofilm within my prostate gland, named cronic bacterial prostatitis. I have been with treatment based in NAC (L-acetilcisteine), curcumin, oregano oil and other natural herbs whith bacterial and antibiofilm activity, however, the results haven't very good , only its works in part. wich antibiofilm recomended you? I believe that you talk about one book about this cuestion, thank you for all, and sorry for my bad english level. I am improving my english level this year. Thanks.
There is another biofilm product that could potentially be helpful, called Biofilm Phase 2. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks for you, for this important information
@@abelsanguinoterron2613 You are very welcome :)
@@abelsanguinoterron2613 Hey did you try the Phase 2 supplement for your bacterial prostatitis? Did you see any results?
I don’t think it’s a debate. I think it’s true
Wait wait, you said NAC. Can glutathione work (I use liposomal, it's bioavailable).
No, NAC is the precursor to glutathione, but glutathione is not a biofilm buster. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Okay cool thanks! And you're welcome! I appreciate the information 100%! What about fasting and taking NAC for the biofilm disrupting? My gut is very inflamed from COVID and I am on a fast right now to give it a rest.
@@carnivoroussarah I would think that as long as you weren't triggering a die-off reaction/ herxeimer reaction, you can continue. But if you were to feel worse, that would be a signal from your body to back off temporarily. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Okay I need to back off. Short of breath. Thanks for the advice and video!
@@carnivoroussarah You're welcome!
Burdock root is also good
Thanks for that tip!
@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you for all the info you provide🙌
@@Sunrise4ubaby You're very welcome :)
Garlic is good to help biofilm x
Thanks for sharing that...
What are you on about , why do I want to destroy my biofilm? It holds my biome, critical to my immune system
Hey there, you are indeed correct, until bad bacteria or other organisms hide from treatment inside that biofilm. I definitely don't recommend biofilm busters for everyone, only for people who have persistent gut infections they haven't been able to clear. Thanks for helping me clarify that point, and thanks for watching :)
Would this help with prostatitis?
I wouldn't necessarily think so, but it's possible. I would be more looking toward diet-based inflammation.
D-Mannos should help
I’m trying biocidin, but I can’t do more than a drop every other day or I can’t get out of bed. The pain is excruciating and I get so suicidal.
Hi Breanna, this is a perfect example of why to start low and go slow...and it sounds like your body is having a very strong reaction to this formula, and that it may not be right for you.
Hi Breanna I’m sorry for your experience with biocidin. It seemed like a very reputable item. I hope things are better for you now.
I have had 40 years with gut disbioses. It has ruined my life. Some biofilm busters help temporarily, but it always seems to come back.
colloidal silver kills all infections fast
Yes, it can kill infections very well. But if the biofilm is hiding the infection, then the silver won't be able to reach all of it. This is why biofilm busters are important.
Isn’t Neem a biofilm disruptor? Especially for SIBO? xx
Neem is an antimicrobial, and may have some biofilm disrupting properties. Many herbs have some amount of ability to disrupt biofilm, but I don't typically see people using neem specifically as a biofilm buster. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you!
@@agnieszka4925 you're welcome!
@@MsDhillon How are things going for you? Did you get rid of SIBO?
I@@ConfluenceNutrition I though neem was good for oral health, busting oral biofilms?
Is this good for IBS.
It's generally used if you are treating the infections that often underlie IBS with antibiotics or antimicrobial herbs, but as a general supplement for IBS? I would focus on probiotics and optimizing digestion with a proper elimination diet, stomach acid support, and digestive enzymes first. Thanks for watching!
Is it true that cinnamon powder is good for destroying biofilm? :)
I have heard this, but I really am not aware of any research that confirms it.
There are dozens of herbs, spices that work, just research pubmed, what people need to realize a broad spectrum attack works best against biofilm and fungus
@@rickspalding3047 Yes, and sometimes a therapeutic dose is necessary to get any effect.
@@ConfluenceNutrition this is the problem I have right now, I've been taking antifungal pills for a month, just follow the directions but almost out, but I bought food grade extracts of oregano, pau darko, and one that has black walnut, clove and wormwood, I have no idea how strong these doses should be, and I dont want to get sick
@@rickspalding3047 yes, those herbs are very strong, especially if they're extracts. Since I don't know the concentration, and you're not legally a client, I can't make any specific suggestions. But I would proceed cautiously, especially if you're mixing all those things together. See if you can find a specific dosage somewhere. A safe place to work is with the recommended dose on the bottle, and watch for how you feel.
Hearing about biofilm is just about as disgusting as I thought it would be. Do I dare ask how one would detect this alien goo?
Haha! Yeah, it's a pretty gross concept! Detecting it is difficult to impossible...the best sign this is a problem is if you have chronic infections that don't seem to respond to treatment. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition It’s quite possible that I have the same thing that you mentioned that you just received treatment for. I’ve learned how the methane disrupts peristalsis. Disrupts. Lol. More like halts. Im going to Stamford next week. They have a motility clinic & I should be able to get this figured out after the Cipro disaster. I’ve ceased all probiotics because I don’t know if the probiotics just give it more nutrients.
My question is this 1) how important is it to take neomycin with rifixan? Vs one or the other.
And 2) I saw that Methane dominant sibo is now called something else to convey a new understanding of the disease process. I’m sure you know it. Cinnamon, allycin in tincture, and some supplement that contains horse chestnut and an osmotic laxative. Have you any experience with a therapy course like this? They went pretty heavy on the garlic at 6 pills per day. Sorry for the long message.
@@richardworker9280 Hi Richard...in my understanding, the standard protocol is the rifaximin WITH neomycin OR metronidazole. This is the protocol that Dr. Pimentel has studied in his clinical trials. Rifaximin alone usually isn't enough. And if you have a stubborn case, biofilm buster can be necessary too. I would not use anything with horse chestnut in it...and laxatives can be valuable, but in my opinion, we want to do our best to avoid them. I wouldn't expect cinnamon and allicin alone to deal with SIBO. The herbal protocols are a little more involved, and it depends on which type of SIBO you have. Have you not been tested? THe test is important to know how to direct treatment. Thanks for watching, and I hope this helps!
Ended up here as i have had high level coliforms in my water supply for 18 months. Have felt fatigue all the time. A uv lamp has been added this week and i feel really weird. Im wondering if the uv has killed off the bugs and that I am having some sort if die off. I
Detective? seriously?
Good job NOT mentioning what biofilm busters are at all.. Amazing how people just fall for a bunch of fast talk, diversion and not being told what exactly they are getting into.
If you're wanting to know what they are, I'm happy to answer...they're supplements that chemically break down biofilm...NAC is one, also EDTA, as well as black cumin seed. This video was to answer the question of whether you need one or not, but you're right that I could have more directly explained what they are. Take care!
