What do hospital infections, sinusitis, periodontal disease (bad breath, gum disease, etc.), middle ear infections, tonsillitis, COPD, Lyme Disease, infectious kidney stones, bacterial endocarditis, diabetic foot wounds, osteomyelitis and cystic fibrosis have in common? The answer is deceptively simple: the persistence of these chronic conditions originates from slimy bacterial biofilms that encase bacteria of all types, protect them from the immune system and resist antibiotic treatments.

While the existence of bacterial biofilm was first documented in 1683 and rediscovered in the late 1970s, molecular diagnostics have demonstrated the omnipresence of biofilms in medical conditions affecting more than 17 million people annually. The documentary, Why Am I Still Sick?, identifies the multifaceted roles of biofilms in causing persistent disease and offers startling revelations through interviews with medical experts and patients.
