Full Transcript Why Gut Protocols Fail 0:01 One of the most important things I want 0:01 One of the most important things I want you to walk away with understanding 0:02 you to walk away with understanding 0:02 you to walk away with understanding today is that most gut protocols focus 0:05 today is that most gut protocols focus 0:05 today is that most gut protocols focus solely on bacterial overgrowth like 0:07 solely on bacterial overgrowth like 0:07 solely on bacterial overgrowth like SIBO. The problem with this is not that 0:09 SIBO. The problem with this is not that 0:09 SIBO. The problem with this is not that the SIBO isn't there, it's not that it 0:11 the SIBO isn't there, it's not that it 0:11 the SIBO isn't there, it's not that it isn't real, but those protocols tend to 0:13 isn't real, but those protocols tend to 0:13 isn't real, but those protocols tend to accidentally ignore deeper, more 0:15 accidentally ignore deeper, more 0:15 accidentally ignore deeper, more persistent patterns of microbial 0:18 persistent patterns of microbial 0:18 persistent patterns of microbial imbalance. Biofilms and fungus and 0:20 imbalance. Biofilms and fungus and 0:20 imbalance. Biofilms and fungus and parasites form a protective network that 0:23 parasites form a protective network that 0:23 parasites form a protective network that allows them to evade the immune system 0:26 allows them to evade the immune system 0:26 allows them to evade the immune system and resist treatment. So, if you're 0:28 and resist treatment. So, if you're 0:28 and resist treatment. So, if you're thinking about your gut issue like it's 0:30 thinking about your gut issue like it's 0:30 thinking about your gut issue like it's a probiotic issue or um a bacteria 0:33 a probiotic issue or um a bacteria 0:33 a probiotic issue or um a bacteria issue, then we're really missing most of 0:37 issue, then we're really missing most of 0:37 issue, then we're really missing most of the picture of pathogens that are 0:39 the picture of pathogens that are 0:39 the picture of pathogens that are actually running the show and distorting 0:41 actually running the show and distorting 0:41 actually running the show and distorting your immune responses, distorting your 0:43 your immune responses, distorting your 0:43 your immune responses, distorting your gut motility, stealing your nutrients 0:45 gut motility, stealing your nutrients 0:46 gut motility, stealing your nutrients from you, stealing your energy from you, 0:48 from you, stealing your energy from you, 0:48 from you, stealing your energy from you, making it difficult for you to rest, and 0:50 making it difficult for you to rest, and 0:50 making it difficult for you to rest, and yes, disrupting your neurotransmitters, 0:51 yes, disrupting your neurotransmitters, 0:51 yes, disrupting your neurotransmitters, so making it very difficult for you to 0:53 so making it very difficult for you to 0:53 so making it very difficult for you to feel like yourself because you're losing 0:56 feel like yourself because you're losing 0:56 feel like yourself because you're losing your dopamine, your serotonin, your 0:57 your dopamine, your serotonin, your 0:57 your dopamine, your serotonin, your GABA, and you're getting too much 0:59 GABA, and you're getting too much 0:59 GABA, and you're getting too much glutamate, and your histamine clearance 1:01 glutamate, and your histamine clearance 1:01 glutamate, and your histamine clearance is too slow. Functional medicine experts 1:03 is too slow. Functional medicine experts 1:03 is too slow. Functional medicine experts are often talking about like, "Oh, 1:04 are often talking about like, "Oh, 1:04 are often talking about like, "Oh, there's dysbiosis in your gut." And in 1:07 there's dysbiosis in your gut." And in 1:07 there's dysbiosis in your gut." And in practice, hypothetically, like in an 1:09 practice, hypothetically, like in an 1:09 practice, hypothetically, like in an abstract way, that is not untrue. That 1:10 abstract way, that is not untrue. That 1:10 abstract way, that is not untrue. That is not factually incorrect. But in 1:13 is not factually incorrect. But in 1:13 is not factually incorrect. But in practice, what's happening in functional 1:15 practice, what's happening in functional 1:15 practice, what's happening in functional medicine is they're putting a probiotic 1:17 medicine is they're putting a probiotic 1:17 medicine is they're putting a probiotic in place or a bacteria strategy to deal 1:21 in place or a bacteria strategy to deal 1:21 in place or a bacteria strategy to deal with this, and that's not what most of 1:24 with this, and that's not what most of 1:24 with this, and that's not what most of the dysbiosis picture is. Dysbiosis is
Parasites And Fungi Run The Show 1:27 the dysbiosis picture is. Dysbiosis is 1:27 the dysbiosis picture is. Dysbiosis is an imbalance in the microbial 1:28 an imbalance in the microbial 1:28 an imbalance in the microbial communities, including bacteria, but 1:31 communities, including bacteria, but 1:31 communities, including bacteria, but really, the fungi and the parasites and 1:34 really, the fungi and the parasites and 1:34 really, the fungi and the parasites and the biofilms are running the show. They 1:36 the biofilms are running the show. They 1:36 the biofilms are running the show. They have a hierarchy in place where they get 1:39 have a hierarchy in place where they get 1:39 have a hierarchy in place where they get to distort your behaviors at a much more 1:42 to distort your behaviors at a much more 1:42 to distort your behaviors at a much more persistent and systemic level than 1:44 persistent and systemic level than 1:44 persistent and systemic level than bacteria can, leading to the the 1:46 bacteria can, leading to the the 1:46 bacteria can, leading to the the compromised digestion, immunity, and 1:48 compromised digestion, immunity, and 1:48 compromised digestion, immunity, and metabolic signaling. So, true resolution 1:50 metabolic signaling. So, true resolution 1:50 metabolic signaling. So, true resolution really does require identifying these 1:52 really does require identifying these 1:52 really does require identifying these root layers, the biofilm removal, the 1:54 root layers, the biofilm removal, the 1:54 root layers, the biofilm removal, the immune support, and the whole ecosystem 1:56 immune support, and the whole ecosystem 1:56 immune support, and the whole ecosystem recalibration So that we're not just 1:58 recalibration So that we're not just 1:58 recalibration So that we're not just trying to play whack-a-mole with the one 2:00 trying to play whack-a-mole with the one 2:00 trying to play whack-a-mole with the one bacteria that showed up or the one 2:02 bacteria that showed up or the one 2:03 bacteria that showed up or the one parasite that showed up on your stool 2:05 parasite that showed up on your stool 2:05 parasite that showed up on your stool test because those are such an 2:07 test because those are such an 2:07 test because those are such an incomplete method of of assessment. It's 2:10 incomplete method of of assessment. It's 2:10 incomplete method of of assessment. It's fine if you want to use them if that you 2:12 fine if you want to use them if that you 2:12 fine if you want to use them if that you have the money in the budget for that, 2:13 have the money in the budget for that, 2:13 have the money in the budget for that, but it's not going to give you the whole 2:15 but it's not going to give you the whole 2:15 but it's not going to give you the whole picture. It's going to give you a very 2:17 picture. It's going to give you a very 2:17 picture. It's going to give you a very small, literally pea-sized window into 2:20 small, literally pea-sized window into 2:20 small, literally pea-sized window into your gut microbiome that has made it 2:22 your gut microbiome that has made it 2:22 your gut microbiome that has made it through and out the colon to you. That's 2:24 through and out the colon to you. That's 2:24 through and out the colon to you. That's how much gets tested is a smidgen of 2:28 how much gets tested is a smidgen of 2:28 how much gets tested is a smidgen of stool off of a pea-sized amount of a 2:30 stool off of a pea-sized amount of a 2:30 stool off of a pea-sized amount of a sample. And the replication rate for 2:32 sample. And the replication rate for 2:33 sample. And the replication rate for those is really, really low. Meaning 2:34 those is really, really low. Meaning 2:34 those is really, really low. Meaning they don't come up with the same results 2:36 they don't come up with the same results 2:36 they don't come up with the same results even from the same stool sample. It's 2:38 even from the same stool sample. It's 2:38 even from the same stool sample. It's hovering in the low 20th percentile, 2:40 hovering in the low 20th percentile, 2:40 hovering in the low 20th percentile, which is really unfortunate. It's very 2:42 which is really unfortunate. It's very 2:42 which is really unfortunate. It's very frustrating, but that's where we're at 2:43 frustrating, but that's where we're at 2:43 frustrating, but that's where we're at in terms of commercially available 2:46 in terms of commercially available 2:46 in terms of commercially available you know, microbiome testing in this day 2:48 you know, microbiome testing in this day 2:48 you know, microbiome testing in this day and age. Doesn't mean that we won't get 2:50 and age. Doesn't mean that we won't get 2:50 and age. Doesn't mean that we won't get cooler, better testing methods down the 2:52 cooler, better testing methods down the 2:52 cooler, better testing methods down the road, but it does mean that if you want 2:54 road, but it does mean that if you want 2:54 road, but it does mean that if you want to fix your symptoms, it's time for you 2:56 to fix your symptoms, it's time for you 2:56 to fix your symptoms, it's time for you to start learning about these factors 2:58 to start learning about these factors 2:58 to start learning about these factors without waiting for a lab to prove it to 3:01 without waiting for a lab to prove it to 3:01 without waiting for a lab to prove it to you. You know, we want to see how does 3:02 you. You know, we want to see how does 3:02 you. You know, we want to see how does the ecosystem work and how do we support 3:05 the ecosystem work and how do we support 3:05 the ecosystem work and how do we support our own body to rebalance the ecosystem.
Parasites Hide Inside Biofilms 3:07 our own body to rebalance the ecosystem. 3:07 our own body to rebalance the ecosystem. So when we look at biofilms, all this 3:09 So when we look at biofilms, all this 3:09 So when we look at biofilms, all this starts to make more sense because they 3:11 starts to make more sense because they 3:11 starts to make more sense because they really do act like an invisible fortress 3:13 really do act like an invisible fortress 3:13 really do act like an invisible fortress in the body. Biofilms are microorganisms 3:15 in the body. Biofilms are microorganisms 3:15 in the body. Biofilms are microorganisms that secrete like a very sticky matrix, 3:18 that secrete like a very sticky matrix, 3:18 that secrete like a very sticky matrix, the extracellular polymeric substances, 3:20 the extracellular polymeric substances, 3:20 the extracellular polymeric substances, it's the EPS, that shields them from 3:22 it's the EPS, that shields them from 3:22 it's the EPS, that shields them from both antimicrobials 3:24 both antimicrobials 3:24 both antimicrobials and from your own immune system 3:27 and from your own immune system 3:27 and from your own immune system strategies. They'll even biofilms as a 3:29 strategies. They'll even biofilms as a 3:29 strategies. They'll even biofilms as a white blood cell drifts by, will grab it 3:32 white blood cell drifts by, will grab it 3:32 white blood cell drifts by, will grab it and suffocate it. It will essentially 3:34 and suffocate it. It will essentially 3:34 and suffocate it. It will essentially eat the white blood cell so that your 3:37 eat the white blood cell so that your 3:37 eat the white blood cell so that your your surveillance system internally is 3:40 your surveillance system internally is 3:40 your surveillance system internally is compromised. Isn't that weird? Like it's 3:42 compromised. Isn't that weird? Like it's 3:42 compromised. Isn't that weird? Like it's biofilms are the slow-moving or 3:45 biofilms are the slow-moving or 3:45 biofilms are the slow-moving or non-moving Pac-Man of the body. They're 3:47 non-moving Pac-Man of the body. They're 3:47 non-moving Pac-Man of the body. They're very weird. They're really good at 3:49 very weird. They're really good at 3:49 very weird. They're really good at hiding bigger parasites. Bigger 3:52 hiding bigger parasites. Bigger 3:52 hiding bigger parasites. Bigger parasites will actually encourage 3:54 parasites will actually encourage 3:54 parasites will actually encourage biofilm growth or even create it so that 3:57 biofilm growth or even create it so that 3:57 biofilm growth or even create it so that they can nest behind it, lay eggs within 4:00 they can nest behind it, lay eggs within 4:00 they can nest behind it, lay eggs within it. That's why we're saying there's such 4:02 it. That's why we're saying there's such 4:02 it. That's why we're saying there's such a strong synergy. So, within biofilms, 4:04 a strong synergy. So, within biofilms, 4:04 a strong synergy. So, within biofilms, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, they can 4:06 bacteria, fungi, and parasites, they can 4:06 bacteria, fungi, and parasites, they can actually share genes and communicate via 4:09 actually share genes and communicate via 4:10 actually share genes and communicate via quorum sensing and exchange resistance 4:12 quorum sensing and exchange resistance 4:12 quorum sensing and exchange resistance traits. Like, "Hey, this person has used 4:15 traits. Like, "Hey, this person has used 4:15 traits. Like, "Hey, this person has used a lot of antibiotics and that used to 4:18 a lot of antibiotics and that used to 4:18 a lot of antibiotics and that used to keep some of the infections at bay. 4:20 keep some of the infections at bay. 4:20 keep some of the infections at bay. Let's use these strains and these 4:22 Let's use these strains and these 4:23 Let's use these strains and these strategies so that we become even more 4:25 strategies so that we become even more 4:25 strategies so that we become even more resistant to those than we were before. 4:27 resistant to those than we were before. 4:27 resistant to those than we were before. Oh, this person has 4:29 Oh, this person has 4:29 Oh, this person has you know, elevated white blood cells. 4:31 you know, elevated white blood cells. 4:31 you know, elevated white blood cells. Well, let's tell each other how to work 4:33 Well, let's tell each other how to work 4:33 Well, let's tell each other how to work against that so that those strategies 4:36 against that so that those strategies 4:36 against that so that those strategies don't work." And that's the biofilms, 4:38 don't work." And that's the biofilms, 4:38 don't work." And that's the biofilms, fungus, and parasites telling each
You Canu2019t Target Just One 4:40 fungus, and parasites telling each 4:40 fungus, and parasites telling each other. They are literally working 4:42 other. They are literally working 4:42 other. They are literally working together. It's why if you only target 4:44 together. It's why if you only target 4:44 together. It's why if you only target one, if your anti-parasitic protocol 4:47 one, if your anti-parasitic protocol 4:47 one, if your anti-parasitic protocol from some that you know, not to 4:48 from some that you know, not to 4:48 from some that you know, not to disparage them, but there's these really 4:50 disparage them, but there's these really 4:50 disparage them, but there's these really big celebrity crunchy mom accounts on 4:52 big celebrity crunchy mom accounts on 4:52 big celebrity crunchy mom accounts on Instagram and they're like, "Just buy my 4:55 Instagram and they're like, "Just buy my 4:55 Instagram and they're like, "Just buy my one product because my kiddo felt better 4:58 one product because my kiddo felt better 4:58 one product because my kiddo felt better on it and the rash went away. So, 5:00 on it and the rash went away. So, 5:01 on it and the rash went away. So, therefore, you should buy my product." 5:02 therefore, you should buy my product." 5:02 therefore, you should buy my product." That's a really honestly disingenuous 5:05 That's a really honestly disingenuous 5:05 That's a really honestly disingenuous way to approach this. Your body needs 5:08 way to approach this. Your body needs 5:08 way to approach this. Your body needs much more strategic support than that 5:10 much more strategic support than that 5:10 much more strategic support than that and you deserve better. So, I want you 5:11 and you deserve better. So, I want you 5:11 and you deserve better. So, I want you to become more discerning after today 5:14 to become more discerning after today 5:14 to become more discerning after today about what are the tools actually 5:16 about what are the tools actually 5:16 about what are the tools actually required. The more you understand about 5:17 required. The more you understand about 5:17 required. The more you understand about how biofilms, fungus, and parasites work 5:19 how biofilms, fungus, and parasites work 5:20 how biofilms, fungus, and parasites work together, the smarter you will be about 5:22 together, the smarter you will be about 5:22 together, the smarter you will be about what is actually worth your time, your 5:23 what is actually worth your time, your 5:24 what is actually worth your time, your energy, and your budget. So, biofilms 5:25 energy, and your budget. So, biofilms 5:25 energy, and your budget. So, biofilms are a primary reason chronic infections 5:28 are a primary reason chronic infections 5:28 are a primary reason chronic infections persist or return even after rounds of 5:30 persist or return even after rounds of 5:30 persist or return even after rounds of antimicrobial treatment. That's a really 5:32 antimicrobial treatment. That's a really 5:32 antimicrobial treatment. That's a really important detail for you to know.
Biofilms And Chronic Infection 5:33 important detail for you to know. 5:33 important detail for you to know. Biofilms can make pathogens up to 500 5:35 Biofilms can make pathogens up to 500 5:35 Biofilms can make pathogens up to 500 times more drug resistant and that's 5:37 times more drug resistant and that's 5:37 times more drug resistant and that's implicated in over 80% of chronic 5:39 implicated in over 80% of chronic 5:39 implicated in over 80% of chronic infections according to the NIH. So, 5:41 infections according to the NIH. So, 5:41 infections according to the NIH. So, this is not a do I have biofilms? 5:43 this is not a do I have biofilms? 5:43 this is not a do I have biofilms? Everybody has biofilms. Everybody has 5:46 Everybody has biofilms. Everybody has 5:46 Everybody has biofilms. Everybody has parasites. The question is, are yours 5:48 parasites. The question is, are yours 5:48 parasites. The question is, are yours running the show? And are they in a 5:50 running the show? And are they in a 5:50 running the show? And are they in a state of overgrowth in a way that your 5:52 state of overgrowth in a way that your 5:52 state of overgrowth in a way that your immune system can no longer keep them in 5:54 immune system can no longer keep them in 5:54 immune system can no longer keep them in check? And you would know because the 5:56 check? And you would know because the 5:56 check? And you would know because the symptoms that are showing up in your 5:58 symptoms that are showing up in your 5:58 symptoms that are showing up in your body, they really have your attention. 6:00 body, they really have your attention. 6:00 body, they really have your attention. It's just a multicellular microbial 6:02 It's just a multicellular microbial 6:02 It's just a multicellular microbial community embedded in a self-produced 6:04 community embedded in a self-produced 6:04 community embedded in a self-produced protective matrix often found on mucosal 6:06 protective matrix often found on mucosal 6:06 protective matrix often found on mucosal surfaces. So, that's your gut lining, 6:09 surfaces. So, that's your gut lining, 6:09 surfaces. So, that's your gut lining, it's your sinuses. 6:11 it's your sinuses. 6:11 it's your sinuses. You know, those are great favorite spots 6:13 You know, those are great favorite spots 6:13 You know, those are great favorite spots for biofilms, but they can actually be 6:15 for biofilms, but they can actually be 6:15 for biofilms, but they can actually be throughout the body. They can be deep in 6:16 throughout the body. They can be deep in 6:16 throughout the body. They can be deep in your lymphatics. For example, breast 6:18 your lymphatics. For example, breast 6:18 your lymphatics. For example, breast implant illness is becoming better 6:20 implant illness is becoming better 6:20 implant illness is becoming better understood in this day and age thanks to 6:22 understood in this day and age thanks to 6:22 understood in this day and age thanks to the work of some of our wonderful 6:24 the work of some of our wonderful 6:24 the work of some of our wonderful colleagues, and biofilms are found 6:26 colleagues, and biofilms are found 6:26 colleagues, and biofilms are found around the implants themselves. The body 6:29 around the implants themselves. The body 6:29 around the implants themselves. The body is using them almost as like as a 6:31 is using them almost as like as a 6:31 is using them almost as like as a protective layer between it and um the 6:34 protective layer between it and um the 6:34 protective layer between it and um the implant and the body. So, you might have 6:36 implant and the body. So, you might have 6:36 implant and the body. So, you might have some encapsulation. Yes, you know, 6:38 some encapsulation. Yes, you know, 6:38 some encapsulation. Yes, you know, what's those hard calcium shells? You 6:40 what's those hard calcium shells? You 6:40 what's those hard calcium shells? You will always find biofilms where there is 6:43 will always find biofilms where there is 6:43 will always find biofilms where there is foreign material in the body. The body 6:45 foreign material in the body. The body 6:45 foreign material in the body. The body will let that become a layer between you 6:47 will let that become a layer between you 6:47 will let that become a layer between you and it. Now, at a microscopic level, I
Toxins And Biofilm Formation 6:50 and it. Now, at a microscopic level, I 6:50 and it. Now, at a microscopic level, I want you to really pay attention to what 6:51 want you to really pay attention to what 6:52 want you to really pay attention to what I just said. The body will let biofilms 6:55 I just said. The body will let biofilms 6:55 I just said. The body will let biofilms form a protective layer between the body 6:57 form a protective layer between the body 6:57 form a protective layer between the body and the foreign material. When you're 6:59 and the foreign material. When you're 6:59 and the foreign material. When you're getting constantly bombarded by toxins, 7:01 getting constantly bombarded by toxins, 7:02 getting constantly bombarded by toxins, which are foreign materials, they're 7:03 which are foreign materials, they're 7:03 which are foreign materials, they're synthetic, they're harsh, even heavy 7:05 synthetic, they're harsh, even heavy 7:05 synthetic, they're harsh, even heavy metals which are of the earth, you know, 7:08 metals which are of the earth, you know, 7:08 metals which are of the earth, you know, officially, they were buried deep in the 7:10 officially, they were buried deep in the 7:10 officially, they were buried deep in the earth's crust for the last several 7:12 earth's crust for the last several 7:12 earth's crust for the last several thousand years. We've only just now 7:14 thousand years. We've only just now 7:14 thousand years. We've only just now liberated them. They really hurt in the 7:16 liberated them. They really hurt in the 7:16 liberated them. They really hurt in the body in very, very small amounts. We're 7:18 body in very, very small amounts. We're 7:18 body in very, very small amounts. We're getting those in our air pollution and 7:19 getting those in our air pollution and 7:19 getting those in our air pollution and our personal care products. They're 7:21 our personal care products. They're 7:21 our personal care products. They're getting actively sprayed on our soils as 7:23 getting actively sprayed on our soils as 7:23 getting actively sprayed on our soils as part of those big ag products, 7:25 part of those big ag products, 7:25 part of those big ag products, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides. So, 7:28 fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides. So, 7:28 fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides. So, it means that we're getting exposed to 7:31 it means that we're getting exposed to 7:31 it means that we're getting exposed to things that we didn't evolve with. And 7:32 things that we didn't evolve with. And 7:32 things that we didn't evolve with. And that's a really big deal because when it 7:34 that's a really big deal because when it 7:34 that's a really big deal because when it comes into your body, your body's like, 7:35 comes into your body, your body's like, 7:35 comes into your body, your body's like, "Okay, I'm going to try to use my normal 7:37 "Okay, I'm going to try to use my normal 7:38 "Okay, I'm going to try to use my normal detox pathways to get out these 7:40 detox pathways to get out these 7:40 detox pathways to get out these exposures." And those don't work as well 7:43 exposures." And those don't work as well 7:43 exposures." And those don't work as well as they do for your normal metabolic 7:44 as they do for your normal metabolic 7:45 as they do for your normal metabolic waste and you're already overwhelmed 7:47 waste and you're already overwhelmed 7:47 waste and you're already overwhelmed with the number and style and size and 7:49 with the number and style and size and 7:49 with the number and style and size and different scope of materials. It's just 7:51 different scope of materials. It's just 7:51 different scope of materials. It's just a constant onslaught for your sweet 7:53 a constant onslaught for your sweet 7:53 a constant onslaught for your sweet little body that's trying so hard to 7:55 little body that's trying so hard to 7:55 little body that's trying so hard to protect you and perform well for you. 7:57 protect you and perform well for you. 7:57 protect you and perform well for you. You know, your body's truly innocent and 7:59 You know, your body's truly innocent and 7:59 You know, your body's truly innocent and it knows how to clear this stuff. It 8:01 it knows how to clear this stuff. It 8:01 it knows how to clear this stuff. It just can't keep up. Yes, it will let 8:03 just can't keep up. Yes, it will let 8:03 just can't keep up. Yes, it will let biofilms form a layer between you and 8:07 biofilms form a layer between you and 8:07 biofilms form a layer between you and the foreign material and that's how a 8:09 the foreign material and that's how a 8:09 the foreign material and that's how a lot of this is taking off so fast for 8:11 lot of this is taking off so fast for 8:11 lot of this is taking off so fast for our population. So biofilms outsmart the
How Biofilms Suppress Immunity 8:13 our population. So biofilms outsmart the 8:14 our population. So biofilms outsmart the immune system by acting like that 8:15 immune system by acting like that 8:15 immune system by acting like that invisible fortress, right? They inhibit 8:18 invisible fortress, right? They inhibit 8:18 invisible fortress, right? They inhibit immune detection by masking antigens and 8:20 immune detection by masking antigens and 8:20 immune detection by masking antigens and damping inflammatory signals. Pathogens 8:23 damping inflammatory signals. Pathogens 8:23 damping inflammatory signals. Pathogens inside biofilms, remember how we talked 8:25 inside biofilms, remember how we talked 8:25 inside biofilms, remember how we talked about just a minute ago that parasites 8:27 about just a minute ago that parasites 8:27 about just a minute ago that parasites can hide within or behind biofilms, 8:30 can hide within or behind biofilms, 8:30 can hide within or behind biofilms, pathogens inside these biofilms can 8:31 pathogens inside these biofilms can 8:31 pathogens inside these biofilms can modulate macrophage activity to suppress 8:35 modulate macrophage activity to suppress 8:35 modulate macrophage activity to suppress immune activation. So, your alarm bells 8:37 immune activation. So, your alarm bells 8:37 immune activation. So, your alarm bells should be going off to come in and 8:39 should be going off to come in and 8:39 should be going off to come in and tackle these pathogens and say, "Not 8:42 tackle these pathogens and say, "Not 8:42 tackle these pathogens and say, "Not today. You got to go. We don't want you 8:44 today. You got to go. We don't want you 8:44 today. You got to go. We don't want you here. No, thank you." But because 8:46 here. No, thank you." But because 8:46 here. No, thank you." But because they're using biofilms to modulate your 8:49 they're using biofilms to modulate your 8:49 they're using biofilms to modulate your macrophage activity, the result is 8:51 macrophage activity, the result is 8:51 macrophage activity, the result is suppressing that appropriate immune 8:53 suppressing that appropriate immune 8:53 suppressing that appropriate immune activation that should be going off. So, 8:55 activation that should be going off. So, 8:55 activation that should be going off. So, you might be reacting to things in your 8:56 you might be reacting to things in your 8:56 you might be reacting to things in your body like toxins, food contaminants that 8:59 body like toxins, food contaminants that 8:59 body like toxins, food contaminants that are getting out into your bloodstream 9:00 are getting out into your bloodstream 9:00 are getting out into your bloodstream because of your leaky gut, because of 9:02 because of your leaky gut, because of 9:02 because of your leaky gut, because of your everyday toxic exposures and your 9:04 your everyday toxic exposures and your 9:05 your everyday toxic exposures and your immune system is essentially wasting 9:07 immune system is essentially wasting 9:07 immune system is essentially wasting your immune energy on those materials 9:10 your immune energy on those materials 9:10 your immune energy on those materials and not efficiently seeing and going 9:13 and not efficiently seeing and going 9:13 and not efficiently seeing and going after these guys, the biofilms and the 9:16 after these guys, the biofilms and the 9:16 after these guys, the biofilms and the pathogens that are working together. And 9:18 pathogens that are working together. And 9:18 pathogens that are working together. And your immune cells like neutrophils, for 9:20 your immune cells like neutrophils, for 9:20 your immune cells like neutrophils, for example, really struggle to penetrate 9:22 example, really struggle to penetrate 9:22 example, really struggle to penetrate the EPS layer of biofilms resulting in 9:25 the EPS layer of biofilms resulting in 9:25 the EPS layer of biofilms resulting in this chronic low-grade inflammation 9:28 this chronic low-grade inflammation 9:28 this chronic low-grade inflammation rather than eradication. Biofilms 9:29 rather than eradication. Biofilms 9:29 rather than eradication. Biofilms confuse the immune system into 9:32 confuse the immune system into 9:32 confuse the immune system into tolerating them like living with an 9:33 tolerating them like living with an 9:33 tolerating them like living with an intruder who hides in your walls. That's 9:36 intruder who hides in your walls. That's 9:36 intruder who hides in your walls. That's a really good way to think about [music] 9:37 a really good way to think about [music] 9:37 a really good way to think about [music] it.
