You Have Not Heard This Because Most Doctors Know Almost Nothing About Biofilms.
Dr. Marna Ericson: Biofilms often require 1000x an antibiotic dose to be effective in killing an infection. [2024. Texas Infection Conference]
She did not give an example, but 100x clarithromycin if 1500mg/day is a killing dose for Lyme and Bartonella =1.5 million mg. If you use a child’s dose of 500 mg a day, that is = 500,000 mg a day. Now you might understand my sadness and anger, as 99% of doctors never address the fact that all bacteria should be thought of as in a biofilm. As you read this.
Even smart LL MDs use products with wimpy, useless flat oils or herbs that have been used against a few herbs in labs. NOT LYME, TBRF, or Bartonella, and not in humans with dilution in stool, 9-12 pints of blood in 60,000 miles of tubing. My findings were in humans with highly volatile “hot” oils that required self-training and self-funding. Why did I do this?
In 2007- 2014, no one and no infection group was discussing this or offering effective solutions. My further books this year will have biofilm tools and techniques. And we still have the #1 (opens in new tab) Biofilm book in the world. But after seeing patients 40-55 hours a week, it is hard with a family to find time to read anything.
