Just in case you missed it, last week, we took a look at the basics of Biofilm. If you did miss it, go on and get caught up, and then come on back. In summary, Biofilm as a slime like organism that can form almost anywhere where water is present. One of its favorite places to form is in the human gut as well as in the bloodstrean and on teeth. That little fur coat that your teeth seem to be wearing after no brushing your teeth? Yes, that’s Biofilm. In most cases, Biofilm hides itself so well that it is often not affected by even the highest and strongest doses of Antibiotics.
The interesting thing about Biofilm is that once it is broken down during Chelation, it gave off a large discharge of toxic metals into the bowel. This was detected in stool samples. Interestingly enough, a stool sample taken from someone before Chelation may not have shown that high metal level. See how smart Biofilm is? Until its accessed and broken down, it isn’t detected. If it’s not broken down, it’s just holding onto bacteria and metals that can contaminate the body.
High levels of toxic metals has been known to be something that is often found in those with Autism. A large amount of Autism treatments include the removal of these metals and improvement of symptoms has been noted. If these toxic metals are hiding deep inside of a matrix as biofilm does, it makes the removal a bit more difficult.
Enter: Biofilm Protocol Treatment:
The Biofilm Protocol was developed by Dr. Anju Usman and her staff during the Defeat Autism Now (DAN!) Think Tank. It wasn’t discussed much as it was relatively new at the time. The idea of the protocol is to break down the Biofilm by targeting the fibrin that biofilm needs to form. Breaking down the fibirn is done with the help of enzymes such as silk-worm produced serapeptase. Once this has begun, then the body must be trained to recognize what’s about to be released. If the immune system doesn’t recognize the broken-down biofilm, then one may get sick. It’s not always about killing the bugs and sickness. The idea is rewiring the gastrointestinal system to that those bugs cannot exist.
The protocol was also developed keeping in mind that the body may have to go through a heavy metal detox since the biofilm may be holding onto toxic metals like aluminum and lead.
The Protocol itself is meant to be a 2-3 month process and comes in three steps:
ONE: Detatchment of the Matrix – the Matrix is where the biofilm hides itself, so it’s essential that this is broken down. Chelation is often used to be able to disolve the minerals in the matrix to initiate a breakdown. This is done on an empty stomach.
TWO: Targeting the Microorganism: Since the biofilm is now unprotected, a dose of antibiotics is given to the body to attack it.
THREE: Clean up: The body is given anything that can bind up the matrix and potential metals in the gut.
This isn’t an overnight treatment. It took a while for the body to get to the point where the infectious biofilm forms and is hiding to the point where its affecting the body, but undetectable. So, reversing the situation also takes a bit of time.
In 2009, at the Lyme Induced Autism Conference, an interesting point was brought up concerning the outbreak of MRSA. The most effective antibiotic to MRSA was vancomycin. However, it wasn’t effective because there was a biofilm. When the drug was combined with EDTA (a Chelation agent), the elements of the biofilm were extracted and the film was broken down. This shows that the idea of breaking down the biofilm and then dismembering the matrix has been effective in other situations as well.

thank you for every thing
I have ABC, CARS, Iam asking for new sheets of how to evaluate autism in perfect methods
thank you once more
What was the results (improvments) of using this treatment on Autisic children?
Thanks alot
Hi Khaled, the improvement for biofilm control is dramatic and excellent but just like everything else you must try to combine other biomedical treatments.
Hi Nuha, Thank you for your support. Those evaluation sheets are great guidelines on your treatment plans and also to get a quick idea about the child’s diagnosis, and please use your common sense to assist in your work. Don’t get too caught up on them.
Hi Khaled, I would blog more on this Biofilm topic again. Tune in for more. I know they are trying to come up with an idea to fingerprint autism based on the collection of urine testing for GI bacteria as normal vs. autistic kids are different. Maybe this idea of a biofilm protocol is good afterall.
i just want to ask how can i determin if my child will benefit from this treatment?is there a lab test or signs on the child that i can see?
Hi Lina, your best bet is to do a test to biopsy his stool called “Comprehensive Stool Analysis Panel” before doing biofilm treatment. The signs are normally irritated mood, ADD, coated tongue or skin issues, GI disturbances (not necessary present) as in bowel habits, pain, etc and eating bad diet.
Hi, My son is 25. He has P.D.D.N.O.S. and seizures. Do you think this biofilm protocol can help him? I live around the Toronto area in Ontario Cananda. Where can I get his stool tested around here?
Thanks
Bio-film technique is widely discussed here but no certain procedure or treatment method is detailed in the previous topics. How can I utilize this to my my child as no detailed type or name of medicine is specified like chelation, antibiotics and clean up..Is it available in the local drugstore? If possible, kindly post the step by step method of doing the treatment and mentioned the name of medicine we can buy in drugstore.
Sir, where can we make the Biofilm Protocol Treamtent. My autistic son on diet for a year and he is not progressing.
Hi Mohammad, I need to know if you like us to do the work for you a we are quite familiar with the protocol, and if so contact us asap.
Hi Bernard, I am sorry or the generality of the protocol in my blog but as you understand that generally most DAN physicians like to use their favorite chelation, antibiotics and “clean up”. Therefore, if you want to do it on your own, you must at least do the Comprehensive Stool Analysis so that you could get the results to match the therapies. Let us know if you need help by contacting us.
Hi Anna, I am sure if you could check the Naturopathic school in Toronto or the association to ask for the test called “Comprehensive Stool Analysis”. It is never too late to do something for your 25 years old son, and at least give him a chance. We could help if you like. Contact us.
Dear sir,
I read all your updates information regarding the autism. am kokila from India doing Mphil psychology. i have one doubt you have mentioned the causes and other procedure in medical process.. the child should recover need social communication with the family so , any other psychological procedure following apart from behavior modification?
Dear sir,
you have mentioned too much Lead consumption lead to cause…. any way we cant restrict taking canned food. any other medical practice such as Homeopathy, raghe, other methods to treat the child to modify the methods to social movement?
Hi Kokilageetha, best way to eliminate heavy metals: eat fresh ORGANIC food and knowing where your food came from. Other techniques you could use can include homeopathy etc.
Hi Kokilageetha, try to get in touch with David Moat at http://www.asdtherapy.co.uk for advice on using a specific approach from different disciplines of psycho-therapy.
Hi Kokilageetha, watch-out in my blog here for future strategies on using psycho-therapy to help recover autistic child.
