If sensitive patient[s] starting the botanical protocol do react in a strongly negative way to GI-Synergy, do you ever need to use an alternative? If so, what do you recommend?

Tracey O’Shea: Next question is “If sensitive patient[s] starting the botanical protocol do react in a strongly negative way to GI-Synergy, do you ever need to use an alternative? If so, what do you recommend?”

Yes, lots of times. So, if a patient is reacting to GI-Synergy, then we may go over to ​FC-Cidal or ​Dysbiocide​, or sometimes, even if they’re very, very sensitive, I will use ​Biocidin​, which is a liquid form, and then you can really titrate and you can keep the drops very low and you can use the liquid version of the Biocidin as your antimicrobial. So, yes, some people just don’t respond, even, like, ​InterFase Plus​, be careful with that. The egg portion in that, some people are very sensitive to eggs, and so the InterFase Plus does not work for them and we’ll have to go over to, like, Biofilm Defense or a different type of biofilm disruptor, so, yes, this happens quite often. We have to change out supplements halfway through or in the beginning; [it’s] not uncommon, unfortunately, but yes, we do find alternatives regularly.
