Alpinia removes blood stagnation in the stomach and small intestines. It helps repair damage and ulceration in the stomach and small intestines caused by biofilm formation. Other formulas that help break and dissolve microbial biofilms and clear the microbiome are also required.
The majority of bacteria in human body live not planktonically, but as residents of biofilm colonies which adhere to biological surfaces to resist host immunity and antimicrobials. The digestive tract which includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines contains the nutrient supplies ideal for biofilm formation and survival.
Epithelial surfaces in the digestive tract are covered by a layer of mucus which prevents most microorganisms from reaching and persisting on the mucosal surfaces. This viscoelastic gel protects against adhesion and invasion by many pathogenic microorganisms, bacterial toxins, metabolites, digestive enzymes, and other damaging agents. However, many digestive tract bacteria can invade the mucus layer by synthesizing degrading enzymes which break down the mucosal structure and using these resulting molecules as carbon, nitrogen, and energy sources. Studies on biofilm communities in the gut have demonstrated the presence of bacterial microcolonies on mucosal surfaces even in healthy people.
Formation of the intramural biofilm can cause ulcerative and necrotic changes in the GI epithelia tissues under areas covered by the bacteria biofilms. Patients may develop peptic ulcer, small intestinal or colonic ulcers1.
The Biofilmin formula helps break and dissolve microbial biofilms. Alpinia helps heal ulcers and repair the damage or necrotic tissue caused by biofilm formation in the stomach and small intestine. Colitagen is recommended to help heal the ulcers in the large intestine. Depending on the type of microbiome, e.g., a gram positive or negative bacterium, fungus or spirochetes, other formulas that helps clear the microbiome are also required.
Patients should experience symptom improvement in 3-7 days. 10-12 weeks of treatment is required for significant improvement.
