On today's podcast, they discuss:

-The Bio-Botanical Research range of products

-Why we should be supporting our treatment protocols with a seasonally appropriate diet

-Why we should consider our detoxification pathways when treating an overgrowth and biofilms

-Why die-off symptoms can be like for some patients

-Why we should all work with a practitioner who can oversee our treatment and monitor our symptoms

-Why botanicals are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic

-Why using a blend of various herbs can be more easily tolerated than single herbs alone

-Why chronic sinus infections should be treated with a nasal biofilm buster

-Dr Fresco’s views on using probiotics during SIBO treatment and why she favours spore-based probiotics
