Dr Christine Houghton returns to FX Medicine to discuss sulforaphane, its’ benefits and uses for various conditions, and why we should change the way we think about probiotics, antioxidants, and the overall way in which we approach treating our patients.
Biofilms are formations that occur when a group of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses attach themselves to a surface and create a colony. These biofilms form themselves into a type of ‘shield’ that has a glue-like consistency, often referred to as ‘slime’.
The human microbiome is sensitive to a variety of environmental factors including food choices, antibiotic usage, other medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and even exposure to glyphosate - leaving us vulnerable to autoimmunity in the long term.
