The Biofilm has a negative charge and is held together --

By molecules with a positive charge � calcium
Magnesium, iron

and virtually all toxic metals

Treatment: Heavy metal complexing agents (Microsilica, and oral DMPS to cocktail, curcumin)

Iron chelators (liposomal artemisinin, Desferal)

Calcium/magnesium chelators: vinegar, Rechtsregulat, Sodium EDTA (oral or rectal), not calcium EDTA, not i.v. sodium EDTA with the addition of magnesium!

Gut-Biofilm: prevents the normal flora (like acidophilus) from thriving

Gut-biofilm prevents or minimizes the absorption of nutrients and all supplements

Gut-biofilm progresses when sigA levels are low

Treatment to increase IgA:

Vit A, Homeo-K homeopathics, glutamine, slippery elm

Stress reduction (EMR, mold, psychological), meditation, brain synchronizing (CES Ultra www.Little TreeGroup.co,)

Avoid gluten and all non-compatible foods

..... more later


(All the above, including quantities, frequencies, is based on frequent
effective energetic testing. Nothing is taken away, and nothing is added without energetic testing. Shooting in the dark and guessing is thereby to a large degree eliminated. I take nothing and avoid nothing without first testing it myself. With some effort, it is easy to learn.)

Thanks, GiGi. Good detail there.

-----------------------------

About GLUTAMINE: it may be that tiny doses will be enough to serve the purpose above. Or if balanced with magnesium, it will be fine.

But, it can be overly stimulating. From a previous post:
------------------------------

Caution: Aspartate; Glutamine; and Phenylalanine

Each of these can cause far too much nervous system and adrenal system stimulation for many who deal with lyme.

This information is especially for those with any degree of:

toxicity, exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, agitation, panic attacks, tremors, startles, or seizures:

it is best to avoid these three particular amino acids (other than in normal doses from food or maybe in a balanced formula with other amino acids & other nutrients, but not above the average daily dose.

Even at that, some people need to avoid excess foods that contain one or both of those as they can be too stimulating for the brain when it's already overstimulated from neuro-toxicity issues.

=========================================

http://www.itmonline.org/arts/glutamine.htm

AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENTS I: GLUTAMINE

with Reference to the Related Compound Glutamate
by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D.

[Just beyond half-way down, see the section:]

Excerpts:

. . . GLUTAMATE IN NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES . . .

. . . In some neurological diseases, it is found that glutamate levels in the central nervous system become unusually high at sites of pathology.

This can occur, for example, if the rate of degradation of glutamate is slowed by an impairment of the enzymes that are involved.

Also, glutamate is excreted by immune cells that take part in inflammatory processes; the result is high local concentrations at the neurons in progressive neurological diseases such as MS and ALS. . . .

. . . The excess glutamate at the neuron acts as a poison; at high enough levels, the nerves exposed to glutamate can be completely and permanently damaged, so that they are no longer capable of transmitting signals.

Thus, while glutamate is a major component of the body, and an essential part of the nervous system, high levels localized in the nerve cells can be quite toxic . . . .

. . . Laboratory research has revealed that in the progressive, debilitating disease ALS, one of the many processes involved in disease progression appears to be damage of nerve cells by accumulation of glutamate.

In relation to multiple sclerosis, changes in control of glutamate homeostasis in the central nervous system might contribute to demyelination of the white matter of the brain (19).

[poster's interjection: lyme also causes demyelination, what that is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demyelinating_disease ] - article continues:

Based on preliminary animal studies, it has been suggested that glutamate dumped by immune cells can exacerbate the nerve damage (20). . . .

. . . The role of glutamate in neurological disorders has raised the question as to whether persons with such neurological diseases might have to be careful

not to get high levels of either glutamine or glutamate via their diet and/or by taking glutamine supplements. . . .

. . . � full article at link above.

EPILEPSY AND SEIZURES - by Lawrence Wilson, MD

Excerpt:

[section] DIETARY ASPECTS OF EPILEPSY

Food reactions can trigger epileptic seizures. The main culprits are the following foods that are rich in glutamate and aspartate, two very excitatory amino acids:

------ See list at link above -------

. . . and the entire article as it may not seem like it by the title as not all lyme patients experience seizures.

However, the content relates very much so to the neuro-excitatory problems seen so very often in lyme disease & heavy metal toxicity.

Keebler, please note my added comment at the bottom on my first post above.

Thank you.

Thanks, GiGi.

I'm not sure if that note was there before or if I just skipped over it.

My eyes are just on alert for glutamine since it gave me such trouble and I had to figure out why and often, people will take that in large amounts.

the right amount for each person - & balance - sure is key, as you note.

I came back to study your post bit more. I really appreciate all that you post. So much to learn.

For the last year, I have been having iron injections twice weekly to combat anemia, which was discovered when I tried to take thyroid hormones. Since the injections, I have declined.

Might I have shot myself in the foot and contributed to the formation of biofilms?

And would it be a good idea to stop the shots?

Thanks.
