Targeting our Guts with Parasites: Difference between revisions

A biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other and often also to a surface, generating slimy, stringy tissues in which these microorganisms live and reproduce. Think of a clump or tissue, similar to a webbing of tissue holding a pocket of toxic infection within it, which is living inside a cavity or mucous membrane within your body. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular substance, which may also be referred to as slime, although not everything described as slime is a biofilm. Biofilm is a molecular substance conglomeration generally composed of extracellular DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides (sugar molecules). Biofilms can contain many different types of microorganism, bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi and algae, where each group performs specialized metabolic functions. However, some organisms will form single-species films under certain conditions. When the body is afflicted by recurring infections and wounds that are hard to heal, it is highly possible there are toxic biofilms in the gut and intestines that are reinjecting the weakened areas with the toxic waste of the parasitic life cycle, or there are microorganism infections living in the tissues. All kinds of parasites seek refuge in the body in a well-built toxic biofilm.
