I picked up a comment in another post (by K23la) regarding Biofilm Testing and it perked my interest.  I 'm not sure what advantage it would be to know specifically what pathogens are hiding in the biofilms we have  as the removal process is, I believe, the same. Perhaps some of the more scientifically-minded  here may have input.   

The test  is available at Fry Labs in Arizona and your own prescribing doctor can order it (the test kit will then be sent free).  If you order it yourself, the test kit is $15.00.

The cost of  the Fluorescent DNA Stain is $350.00.   All information is available at http://www.frylabs.com

Last Wednesday, I decided to start the InterFase Plus for the treatment of biofilms.  I was curious to see what, if any, type of reaction I would have.  The recommended dosage (on the bottle) is 2-8 capsules per day.   Additionally, I have a schedule obtained from an autism parent given to her by the autism doc, Dr. McCandless, but it is too agressive IMOⁱ, for me so I decided to only take it on M/W/F,  the days I take both Azith and Doxyⁱ. (I switched back to Azith, from Roxi January 2010). 

Thanks to the MicrobWiki site I found some very interesting information about a company that is creating a novel type of anti-viral based on nano technology.

Here is the company website:

And here is some recent news about their anti-herpes treatment.

Looks like there might be hope for those of us with viral co-infectionsⁱ.

This is the news:  In England, possible antibioticsⁱ to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

Some interesting excerpts below from this link:

Minai's recent post elicited me to submit this info (Minai  has MSⁱ, is treating for CPNⁱ and stated she had Bell's Palsy at one time). My mother had Bell Palsey when I was about 12.  Most of our weekends were spent in activities like fishing, picnics or mushroom hunting... all outdoor or in the woods.   

I just recently discovered the state I grew up in is ranked 16th in the nation for Lyme disease.  I still sometimes question if I have lyme even though my test (it wasn't a Western IG Blot) was negative. 

 Someone on this cite took their daughter to this doctor -- (Dr. Virginia Sherr).  I researched her as she is located near my city. 

I know this is a CPN board not lyme but the information was rather interesting:

Scientists are looking at the possibility that a cocktail of worm eggs, intended to hatch inside the bodies of those who swallow them, could be used as an MSⁱ treatment. 

A recent study suggested that people already infected with this kind of worm, known as helminths, experienced fewer symptoms of MS. This has led the FDA to approve a small trial of the therapy next month on five patients

Sunday night I went to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain (upper/lower left quadrant, front and back – [as an aside, I have experienced pain on my left side since almost the beginning of my ABXⁱ in April of last year –2007].  I kept contributing the discomfort to possibly die off and/or my spleen.  My dr. could never find anything on x-rays or a cat scan, so I just kept plodding along, as it was not intolerable.

Anyone with orthostatic hypotension or other similar problems..... Vanderbuilt is seeking recruits.........
