Using ultrasound to disrupt biofilm

I came across this article by Dr. Alan MacDonald that mentions that ultrasound can help to disrupt biofilm:

"Biofilms are fortress-like communities which are from inception designed to survive all manner of attack, including high-dose, long-term antibiotic therapies through IV lines surgically sewn into the veins of sick patients who require such therapy. So antibiotic therapy is not a panacea for eliminating biofilms of any microbe.

Just before Dr. Bill Costerton passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2012, he recorded a video interview on YouTube. In that interview he discussed many things about biofilm biology. Costerton, as the author of many peer-reviewed articles on biofilms of many species of microbes, was ideally situated to editorialize about all things biofilm."

I watched the video that he refers to, the whole interview is quite interesting.
At 10:38 in the video he says: "Biofilms don't like DC current, and they don't like ultrasound at certain frequencies"

I did a quick search and it appears there is research that backs this up:

"Low-frequency ultrasound has been advocated for many years to treat chronic rhinosinusitis, an immunological disease affected by immunological disorders, environmental factors and the presence of microbial biofilms.[67] Low-frequency ultrasound alone is generally not effective in killing biofilm-growing bacteria, but the combination of low-frequency ultrasound and antibiotics is promising for biofilm removal.[68,69] Therapeutic ultrasound can not only enhance transport of antibiotics across biofilms due to physical fragmentation of compact biofilm barriers, but also the uptake of antibiotics due to an increase in membrane permeability of bacterial cells, thereby increasing sensitivity of biofilm-growing bacteria to antibiotics.[67–69] In addition, ultrasound can increase the rates of transport of oxygen and nutrients to bacterial cells within biofilms, making them reanimate from hibernation to resume active metabolism;[70] on the other hand, most antibiotics have beneficial effects on bacterial cells with active metabolism."

This is quite interesting to me as I have been using this ultrasound wand that is included with my Spooky Central Rife machine. I use it on my face in the area of my sinuses. After several weeks I started breathing much clearer. I've always had some degree of nasal congestion all my life but it's almost gone now.

I've also had to detox like crazy like other times when it seems I have made progress against biofilm. I'm also applying essential oils to the area and using Rife frequencies to kill the bacteria when the biofilm is hopefully weakened. Handheld ultrasound units are fairly cheap so it might be worth it to look into this modality.

Are you using the ultrasound on the spooky central?...good find project thanks

Sasweet...i am almost sold on it ...does the program have cafl presets loaded ? Or do you have to enter freq # duration type etc every time...i hope i have enough brain left to operate it ...

I'd love to try ultrasounds and rife. It seems like hit or miss with different people, but I guess you can't know until you try.
