Why Am I Still Sick? The Silent Role of Biofilms in Chronic Disease (Full Movie)
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 01. 2023
- This film explores bacterial biofilm infections and how they cause debilitating illnesses for tens of millions of Americans. People with “sub-clinical infections” suffer for months, years or even decades; others will lose life or limb because of the failure to treat chronic wounds or hospital acquired infections. More than 550,000 patients lose their lives annually because of hospital infections and twice that number will acquire sepsis. The majority of hospital infections involve bacterial biofilms and affect every area of specialized medicine and every part of the human body.
Paradoxically, the applications of biofilm eradication methods are slow to propagate into the many silos of western medicine. With patients and doctors in the dark about what is truly causing chronic diseases, millions of people remain undiagnosed and are denied effective treatments for their medical problems.
This ground-breaking documentary explores a new disease model on a scientific and human level. This film leverages interviews from top clinical experts with patients affected by bacterial biofilms to reach as wide an audience as possible. By breaking down complex topics of biofilm infections to a human level, showing staggering statistics, and using high quality animations, the message becomes accessible, compelling and obvious: biofilm infections are a gargantuan problem that has been overlooked by American society, and we as a nation are paying a terrible price.
However, with the advent of new molecular diagnostics, and a new way to understanding disease, Americans can effectively catalyze credible healthcare change by sharing this information that helps eliminate needless suffering, save lives and reduce the costs of health care.

This film literally changed my life!
Thank you for making time to watch.
@@ADRSupporti am gonna share this with the TOP pain dr in the United States Dr Forest Tennant! I am gonna share w/ many other drs as well! This is gonna mark my words in 10-15 yrs be our norm!! But we gotta spread this absolute invaluable knowledge & information!!
How so??
Most med school graduates don't even know what biofilm is. I've always said that a high GPA and MCAT score are not good indicators of professional success.
Garlic, ginger, oregano oil, serrapeptase, nattokinase.
Yes..where are u ordering from, tu.. are they combined, or separate
Lumbrokinase too
This is why I prolonged water fasting has such a profound effect on rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic illnesses. It starves back the bad bacteria. After a prolonged water, fast refeeding with mostly plant matter tips the scales towards healthier micro biome
Do you think a fast whilst taking biofilm disruptors would get rid of my embedded kidney infection?
Read the Essene's Gospel of Peace, book 1. Highly related to your comment. Just a search away
I have rheumatoid arthritis and I have been literally sick for 2 years almost lost my legs because I went septic with a really bad bone infection I really need to get my biome right but I have no idea what I'm doing. Could you help me get started? What do you mean the water fast and what plant materials would I take right after?
I would see a colon hydro therapist but Naturopathic doctor first or both of possible. Research doing your own enemas at home and infusion of probiotics eat bitters broccoli garlic spinach good fats no sugar no carbs using enema kit. You need probiotics ozone sauna infrared sweat out toxins fasting to keto diet antimicrobials cold plunge therapy check wimhoff deep breathing etc etc see a professional tho good luck @@nataliebarnett6551
I'm going to show this film to my dentist. He is open minded and seams to be interested in treatments that work. It will benefit him and his practice in our evolving awareness of health care. Thank you.
Why doesn’t this video be made to watch b4 graduation of doctors? And also be shared to every single dr, np, pa, & every single person in the medical community!!!!!??!!!
Because the medical industry is not about the cure its about the come back
Come back or greenback.
There is a conflict of interest, since sick people are big business- there are big investors in pharmaceutical and medical companies, and they need business to keep growing.
Thank you so much. There are jewels here that can help many, including me. I have a number of nasty, chronic fungal and other nfections and Morgellons. Have seen so many docs without receiving help. Itsbeen a pretty rough 10 years.
I'm not recommending you do this or giving Medical advice. I had been tortured for over 3 years of non stop biting of small microscopic mites, lice bugs & fleas. I googled invisible bugs landing on me. A large number of other people were suffering the same thing. They found out that it was caused by MOLD in my house. This was the same thing for myself. However, eradicating the mold source, & the mold in our A.C. ducts was not enough. I started taking iodine orally. Not the typical kind from cvs, but an liquid iodine containing higher dosage mcgs. A man on Amazon sells this for morgellons. Iodine purifies the blood. I can't recommend anyone do this, but feel free to research it. It worked for me. Hugs & you can get rid of it. Too much iodine can hurt the kidneys over time, but I was ready to end my life so I took that risk & they are gone.
I got the same Rifamin 300 mg. & Minocycline 100 mg. Both 2X day!!!!💟
I've taught myself about biofilms since diagnosed with Lyme, Babesiosis, Bartonella and Mycoplasma(3x) which I've had for 20 yrs. I was extremely lucky to find a doctor that believed in months of doxy, Plaqunil, ivermetin and about 3 others. I was treated for fungus, mold, as well. Of all the info here about biofilms I was surprised there was not anything mentioned or explained about microscopic cysts which are when the spirokete roll up a hard shell ball like shape and antibiotics cannot break the shell. There are meds that can go in and break open the shell then the antibiotics can do their job.
You are lucky to have found the doctor, that is so hard to do. I was in the ICU for 9 days with babesiosis. I live in the woods and the tick population is huge. I've also had lyme.
My primary doctor believes in the 2 pills of doxycycline preventative when you get a tick.
I have seen so many different types of doctors since August.
In August I was at work and suddenly felt I was going to faint. I have dizziness, tinnitus, and large joint pain.
First they found a pituitary tumor, but that is not it. So on and so forth.
I'm now suspecting chronic lyme.
What meds for breaking shell?
This is an incredible, educational video on bio films and failure of much of the medical field to cure patients. There are so many patients suffering chronic, embedded uti’s, and it’s very difficult finding a Doctor who will actually treat us with full strength, long-term antibiotics. It took two years, but my fabulous urologist finally cured my Embedded infection. He used PCR/DNA testing to see what bacteria I had, that normal urine cultures missed. Before I found him, I was a couch potato with no energy and praying to die. Life just isn’t worth living when you’re sick 24/7. Many UTI patients believe it is the urology, governing boards that are preventing our doctors from treating us properly. I even wonder if antibiotic resistance is really caused from not treating infection long enough to get rid of it, which causes the antibiotic resistance. Anyway, thank you for this fabulous video that another UTI patient/friend sent my way.
What is the name of yr doctor i so need him!! 🙏🏽 im so glad u got better
Thank you for making time to watch, Susie!
What was your doctor name?
I started taking enzymes that break down biofilms. After years of a chronic uti and on antibiotics.
How do you feel now?
It's been a month. Did it work?
Update??
Serrapeptase? I started them and I love it
I think it helped as I take the serrapeptase enzyme
Learning about our body’s endocannabinoidome might provide answers to what was once unanswerable in human health and diseases.
I believe most definitely!!!
There is herb name cistus incanus. It dissolves biofilms and make teeth white
Where can you buy it, thanks 👍
Thx❤
Would this work for kidney biofilms??
May I have link where I can buy this? Thank you.
@@lucywang-angelrays613 in herbal shop. Cistus incanus . . Have you checked cavitations in jawbone or inflammation in 3D scan after root canals? 2D classic raduation tooth picture does not show foci in jawbone
Wow! Thank you for this information! There’s so much to unpack in this documentary! I’ve learned so much and will implement what I can.
Wonderful presentation hope I can find a dr. To help me. Thank you I live in South Carolina.
Thank you for watching! I hope you can find a good doctor soon as well, simply searching can often become a protracted experience.
@@ADRSupportcan u help us find a doctor? I have so many health conditions as well.
Oh man, the only place youll find one is in the functional/integrative/or naturopath realms. Did you find one? I'm in TN and doctors look at me like an antivax mom if i mention lyme, candita, or deficiencies. Theyre absolutely clueless around here
What? Why didn't they...why haven't I heard of....? I haven't even finished watching this yet and I'm blown away. I will be digging deeply into this subject. I have ME/CFS. I have other conditions, as does my father, that this could explain. I am fascinated to pursue the knowledge and to share this with my primary care physician.
look at gut health and the microbiome i found the China study book did some rabbit holes with food and drink to sorted out my kidney failure with lupus wasnt the real lupus in the end it is still there not affecting the kidneys or any organs just the skin now learnt a lot from 20 years of being chronic sick
Good luck with sharing to your doc haha. Howd that go?
There is a scientific connection between Lyme disease and developing autoimmune conditions. Some germs are marginalized while others are politicized.
@@ADRSupportI have lyme an Epstein B should I work on breaking the biofilm before taking antibiotics. Also is Lyme/Epstein Barr Viral or Bacterial
You may want to check out the colon cleanse by Vitamunda. It quickly and easily removes the biofilm. It is truly a miracle. It's a 12 day cleanse, and I am amazed at what has come out.
Wow, amazing to learn so much about biofilms. Is there anyone researching this in Australia or NZ and is there a way to get tested?
Idk if we the norm sick pple can find any drs more easily in the US then u guys - the drs think we r crazy. I am gonna be sending this to so many “Top” drs!
Doctors Best Natto-Serra gamechanger with antimicrobials like liposomal Biocidin.
What infection has this helped you with?
I hope this can help someone- garlic helps break down the sticky layer of the biofilm and kill infection. NAC supplement/powder. Turmeric root and apple cider vinegar will help too! There are natural foods that can help with this infection, have a look for natural foods that disrupt and help kill biofilm 👍🏽❤
Cistus incanus herb😊
@@musicalchemystudio9070 what is this?
Can u also put this stuff on outside of body?
Try a biofilm buster -- before going on antibiotics.
@@handzus19 what biofilm buster is good?
Great documentary. Thank you!
Thanks for great content..
I was not this bad but I thought I may be having a chronic infection- always strep mono bronchitis etc I went on serrapeptase myself and things are getting better - it kills biofilms
In high and frequent doses, right?
@@notadonna5983 well I thought I read the bottle I bought - I was doing 2 in am and pm I think the 120k and then I read it and it says 1 a day
Well I still am doing the 2 in am and 2 at night and lungs feel better
What is serrapeptase?
So thankful for this movie
Thanks for sharing this informative video. Being from the UK, some of these treatments are not available to the general public over here.
Still not widely available in the US either. We can work together towards a paradigm shift, it's a task that will require "all hands on board" to achieve.
They r so so so not In United states either
-The following is not medical advice, consult your physician, but this is what I would do if I to address issues related to chronic illnesses and bio films
-PEMF over affected joints, lymph system, jaw. I use the SOTA brand
-look up the Bob Beck protocol, I do the pulsing
-periodic seven day water, fast’s, consult your MD if you have marginal health or nutrition status first
-enzymes enzymes enzymes, proteolytic between meals, digestive enzymes with meals
-LDN also known as low-dose naltrexone, which is an immune modulator
-consult a biologic dentist, especially if you have a history of root canals
-Control, diabetes, or pre-diabetes. Eating within an eight hour window, Whole Foods only nothing processed is usually enough to control, prediabetes and type two diabetes. Higher blood sugar levels feeds the bacteria.
-
What was your experience and results with the Bob Beck Protocol? Were you using it for a particular ailment?
I,too, have seen multiple drs not one of them knew what to do !!!!!!!
Active brewers yeast (beer) affects biofilm adhesion
I would encourage all those watching this presentation to also study the work of Weston A. Price. Read his book "Nutritional and Physical Degeneration".
mine started in my mouth operation from 40 years ago my teeth never got any calcium sorted out my gut is a lot better now. It is funny how the body connects to everything. such a good video
Thats God.
I would love to know if any of the doctors ever use near infred red light therepy.
I'm also going to seek out these Dr's to get an appointment.
Sounds like our infections enter from the mouth!!!!!!
Nutrition Response testing found the bacteria I have within minutes. I have chronic bacteria I am now battling naturally.
Did you order this yourself
@@catistrolling7333 I went to a Chiropractor that does NRT.
Hello what kind of bacteria and symptoms do you have ? 🙏
I will add that spirokete thrive on yeast and sugar. I havent eaten bread, pasta, potatoes,for a few years now and i have seen a been difference, it wasVERY difficult to do but i did and i dont miss them, not the sweets are a little difficult, ive cut down but i still need a bit of chocolate and maybe a small fountain like coke. But im not one for hard candy or any candy unless it has chocolate, dark chocolate is permitted and so are sweet potatoex which i love.
I have been thinking the same thing. Have you found any information about this ?
If my derm can’t see this in my biopsy - what should I do???
Bromelain, lumbrokinase, nattokinase, serrapeptase, NAC. Buy these and take them everday and your life will change
What do they mean increase the ph? Human body always maintains the same ph to be in homeostasis, you cannot eat or drink anything to change it.
This might help "In conclusion, the initial pH value influences biofilm formation. In particular, metabolic activity and the amount of bacteria associated with disease correlated with the respective pH known to be of importance in the development of caries (relatively low pH) and periodontitis (higher pH). Modifying the pH level in oral biofilms might be an alternative concept in (primary) prevention and treatment, not only of caries but also of periodontitis."
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33427214/
@@ADRSupport okay but this is oral biofilm, not within tissue but external. That is a completely different story.
@@krisztianwirsz3612
• The presence of biofilms, proteases, defective ECM, and change in pH make chronic wounds very difficult to treat.
• pH has a role to play in wound healing.
• pH could be used as a simple tool to quickly recognize a nonhealing wound.
• Targeting the pH and making the wound environment acidic could benefit the healing process.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4486717/
@@ADRSupport again, it's about wounds. The wound is external in nature. If you have biofilm internally, as a result of previous surgery or perhaps some infection within the abdomen, joints, internal soft tissues then how on earth would you change the ph? You cannot change the internal ph of the body because it is maintained at a very specific level at all times, otherwise the organism is facing death.
@@krisztianwirsz3612 I know where you're coming from, but these papers aren't suggesting to change the bodies pH - they are describing the effects of changing the pH in the biofilms themselves. To answer your initial question, I don't think when doctors and scientists talk about this aspect of biofilm they are regarding any kind of nefarious treatments, rather how they can affect biofilms by this method.
Need to get out of the "the" university medical center and start seeing it as "a." This linguistic devotion is like slavery that fosters the inability to see alternatives.
Sounds like Lyme
Biofilm probalance
Garlic, ginger, oregano oil,serrapepetase nsttokinqse
garlic is an antibiotic. honey is an antibiotic. Echinacea is an antibiotic
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
Xylitol everyone!!!
Have you taken this for a chronic infection?
Awesome video 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 this needs much more views! Meanwhile I’m in week 2 of another Lyme disease infection treatment. Taking fistfuls of herbal pills and vitamins in addition to treat the biofilms and try to kill this damn Lyme 😮💨
Serrapeptase kills biofilms
Is Lyme a bacteria or Virus? I’m having a flare and suggestion on treatment
