Bio Film treatment

Purplegirl,

I read your post and assumed that you meant "Serrapeptase" when you said "Serralase." Lo and behold you are right! I knew that Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, but didn't know that there was another one called Serralase until I did a google search for it.

When the biofilm is dissolved or holes are made in it, that allows both your immune system and antimicrobials to obtain more direct access to come into contact with the microbe that the biofilm is protecting. The microbe may be becoming more metabolically active, which in and of itself may create havoc in your system. Probably the main reason that you are experiencing symptoms or flares is because the immune system or antimicrobial is now effective and is killing the microbes. The die-off products from the microbes are very toxic, and in fact some of them are neurotoxic. This means that when they come into contact with the nerve cells, this will irritate or damage them.

The return of symptoms or flares may be "normal," but they certainly are not desirable, as I am sure that you do not enjoy suffering. Are you employing several forms of detoxing? If not, you may want to reevaluate your detoxing strategy. Remember to start off slow, and to gradually build up to an effective level. Please read the "New to Lyme....Start Here." It has a section on detoxing that is very informative and helpful. Good luck with it!
