Lumbrokinase

I started on it with my first doc but was moved to Interface Plus with my second doc. I can't say one way or another what worked better. I have read they both help. I have been on Interface Plus for longer and I personally can't complain. I had a doc that swore by lumbrokinase though.

I have not taken either, but someone in my lyme yahoo group who is now healthy swears that it helped her. I believe it was used towards the end of her treatment which went on for a few years. She has been healthy since the end of treatment.

The point is that lumbrokinase is a systemic enzyme which dissolves biofilm. Many of the problems people experience with antibiotics are not problems with the antibiotics per se but because the pathogens are sequestered in biofilm communities - a case of persistence rather than resistance. Lumbrokinase, serrapeptase, nattokinase, bromelian are examples of systemic enzymes which will help break down these communities and make the microbes accessible. Be sure you are using sufficient killing power, both in form and dosage, before you liberate the bugs using the biofilm busters!

Because we break up the biofilms, it doesnt' mean that the immune system can handle getting rid of the bacteria. Lyme is known to suppress the immune system, which is why we can't beat this disease on our own. Some can get Lyme and their immune systems can keep it dormant - others can for a while until some major stressors happen in their lives and then the Lyme bacteria can come out in full force and take over. Others -for varying reasons - will have a compromised immune system and can't fight off the bacteria at all and get ill immediately.

So just taking these enzymes alone isn't enough to kill the bacteria, it only breaks up the biofilm in which they can hide from the treatments.

By the way, I take bromelian.

I have taken both interfasr plus and lumbrakinese each for a year, total of 2 years. While my fry tests shows that it did eradicate biofilms (huge visible difference on the blood stain photos I received), my problem with UTIs hasn't cleared after years of different treatments. iMO, the hury is still out on this one.

Not too much information! I tell everyone how I passed hundreds of worms last year in a cleanse..some 2-3 inches long
