Founder's Story
After battling an E. coli with ESBL (Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) infection of the prostate, I realized that antibiotics would never eradicate my infection. Further complicating my condition was the formation of biofilm, a gelatinase goo surrounding the prostate which bacteria create to protect themselves, making it even more difficult for antibiotics to reach the site of infection. Biofilms .
After more than two years of failing antibiotic therapy and declining health where daily fever spikes of 103/104 were common, I decided I needed to take matters into my own hands. Physicians in Western medicine can only prescribe the use of antibiotics to treat infection. Based on countless hours of research, I understood Phage Therapy to be a beacon of hope in this endless nightmare of constant antibiotic use that was failing me. Death was growing closer, and I knew I had to act. I decided to seek treatment at the Eliava Phage Therapy Center in Tbilisi, Georgia halfway around the world. After just 4 months of Phage Therapy, my E. coli with ESBL infection was eradicated and more than a year later I remain E. coli free today. Phage Therapy did in 4 months what antibiotics failed to do in over 2 years.
We will need a link and picture of my book here and also on the front page. Soon as I get the link, I’ll send it along.
Also, can we highlight anytime I mention Eliava Phage Therapy Treatment Center so that it can be clicked on and take the reader right to the Eliava website?
