Biofilms with Mimi Hernandez: Immune System Deep Dive
A training for practitioners with Mimi Hernandez (1.5 NPCE)
October 20 from 5-6:30 pm ET
What you'll learn:
This class explores biofilms—intricate communities of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces and create robust protective matrices. We learned how these resilient structures contribute to chronic infections, and explore their formation, characteristics, and implications for health. We also looked at common examples of biofilms, including Candida, dental plaque, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and various skin conditions. Mimi presented specific herbal therapies associated with antibiofilm properties, alongside nutritional strategies to disrupt biofilm formations. Clinical protocols for effectively addressing biofilm challenges was the key focus.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
Identify and explain signs of biofilm involvement, describe the formation and characteristics of biofilms, and understand their implications for health management.
Gained knowledge of specific evidence based herbal therapies and nutritional strategies associated with antibiofilm properties.
Develop and implement clinical protocols aimed at effectively addressing biofilm-related challenges in their clients.
