They are a big deal when treating. Many practitioners have failed to treat them adequately. Please discuss with your practitioners. See the list of top Biofilm busters at bottom.
"In Lyme disease biofilms bacteria produce and cover themselves in a layer of sugar slime called mucopolysaccharides."
"Research shows that Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen that causes Lyme disease, also forms biofilm. This helps protect the bacteria from antibiotics. Adding biofilm busters to antimicrobial treatment may be one way to combat chronic Lyme disease."
"It has been observed that the antibiotic resistance and the reoccurrence of Lyme disease are associated with biofilm-like aggregates in B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. garinii
"Bartonella and Borrelia species have both been shown to form biofilms in both laboratory settings as well as human clinical samples."
"However, since the vast majority of bacteria are hidden in biofilms, healthcare providers are treating most illnesses ineffectively. "
"Another bacterial strategy that contributes to their capacity to withstand antimicrobials is the formation of biofilms."
"In contrast, by supporting a healthy immune system with herbal therapy and a few select supplements, you can etch away at biofilms that may be present, while addressing other more significant underlying causes of your symptoms until they’re gone without setting yourself back for days or weeks at a time."
