What is SIBO? SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition where excessive bacteria colonise the small intestine — an area that should have relatively few bacteria compared to the large intestine. These misplaced bacteria ferment food that passe...

Overview Phase Duration Focus Phase 1 Weeks 1–6 SIBO yogurt + motility support + biofilm disruptors from week 2 Phase 2 Weeks 7–8 Biofilm disruption continues (pre-load for antimicrobials) Phase 3 Weeks 9–14 Biofilm disruptors + herbal antimicrobial...

What is SIBO Yogurt? Developed by Dr. William Davis, SIBO yogurt is a 36-hour fermented dairy product containing three specific probiotic strains that produce bacteriocins — natural antimicrobial compounds that selectively kill SIBO bacteria. The extended 36-h...

Daily Schedule Morning — Empty Stomach (30 min before breakfast) Supplement Dose Why This Timing NAC 600mg Empty stomach ensures it targets biofilm proteins in the small intestine, not dietary protein from food. 30-minute head start lets it pass through...

What Are Biofilms? Many bacteria form a protective layer around themselves known as a biofilm — a slimy, structured matrix made of polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular DNA. This shield makes them significantly more resistant to antibiotics, antimicrobi...

Why Herbals Over Pharmaceuticals One study found that 46% of patients on herbal antimicrobial treatment had a negative breath test after four weeks, compared to 34% on rifaximin alone. Herbal antimicrobials actually outperformed the pharmaceutical in that part...

What Are Prokinetics? Prokinetics stimulate the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) — the small intestine's natural cleansing wave that sweeps bacteria out between meals. They are NOT laxatives. Laxatives work on the colon and do not stimulate the MMC. Prokinetics p...

Why Diet Matters During SIBO Treatment Every time you eat something highly fermentable, you're giving the surviving SIBO bacteria a meal that helps them recover between bacteriocin attacks. The dietary changes aren't the treatment — they're about not feeding t...

What is Die-Off? When the SIBO yogurt's bacteriocins kill bacteria, the dying bacteria rupture and release their contents — including LPS (lipopolysaccharide) endotoxin, histamine, and other inflammatory compounds — into the intestinal lumen and bloodstream. T...

Do NOT Combine A B Reason SIBO yogurt Herbal antimicrobials (berberine, oregano, allicin, neem) Antimicrobials kill the yogurt's beneficial strains indiscriminately SIBO yogurt Berberine specifically Berberine blocks the yogurt's benefits (confirmed b...

How Fasting Works on SIBO Two mechanisms work simultaneously when you stop eating: Starving bacteria: SIBO bacteria feed on carbohydrates and nutrients passing through the small intestine. No food in = nothing to ferment. Uninterrupted MMC: The Migrating Moto...

Prescription Prokinetics for GP Discussion If natural prokinetics + herbal treatment doesn't resolve SIBO, these are worth discussing with your GP. Low-Dose Erythromycin (50mg at bedtime) What it does: Motilin receptor agonist — motilin is the hormone that di...

End-of-term session combining everything from the 10-week course into practical application. The Skill Hierarchy — Why the Course Is Sequenced This Way Every skill builds on the one before it. The sequence isn't arbitrary — you can't do the later steps withou...

The Course Architecture — What's Non-Negotiable vs Complementary Term 1 Weeks 1-6: THE NON-NEGOTIABLES Everything in the first six weeks is the foundation. If you're not doing ALL of these on every trade, you're missing a beat: Pivot points → market structure...

Predictive vs Reactive TA Everything learned previously (market structure, S/R, divergence, volume, Fibonacci) is reactive TA — adapting to real-time market conditions. Elliott Wave is predictive — identifying recurring patterns and forecasting future price mo...

One of the impulse waves (1, 3, or 5) is almost always significantly longer than the other two. That's the extended wave. Identifying which wave is extended changes your targets, your expectations, and your entire trade plan. What Are Extended Waves? An exten...

The second type of motive wave. Unlike impulses, diagonals allow wave 4 to overlap wave 1 — the one exception to the golden rule. They form wedge-shaped patterns and always appear at the BEGINNING or END of a move, never the middle. What Are Diagonals? Diagon...

Moving from the motive phase to the corrective phase. Corrections are where Elliott Wave gets hard — 80% of the difficulty. Zigzags are the first and most common corrective pattern. The Corrective Phase — Overview The complete Elliott Wave cycle is 8 waves: f...

The second type of correction. Where zigzags are sharp and fast, flats are sideways and time-consuming. Two different ways the market capitulates people — fear (zigzags) or boredom (flats). Sharp vs Sideways Corrections The market spends 80% of its time in co...
