Microbial Support Trajectory

Liposomal Lactoferrin supports immune balance by promoting macrophage grasping and T-cell activation, inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines by binding to LPS and reduces oxidative stress via iron sequestration. This makes lactoferrin particularly suitable as a first line for chronic infections where the immune system is continuously overactive. Myco Immune Complex modulates the immune system via beta-glucans without overstimulating it: essential in this phase where overactivation must be avoided. PEA Complex inhibits chronic neuroinflammation and stress burden via PPAR-alpha and supports the nervous system that is under pressure in long-term infections. Liposomal Glutathione enhances antioxidant capacity and liver protection in preparation for the toxin production that Phase 2 entails.

All phase 1 supplements are continued. Para Reset (NAC and Berberine) is at the heart of phase 2: berberine has been shown to have intracellular reach and inhibits the growth of intracellular bacteria; NAC supports glutathione synthesis for liver protection in increased toxin production. Microbe Guard’s essential oils deliver carvacrol and thymol that are active via ROS production and mitochondrial disruption against intracellularly localized pathogens including Leishmania and Borrelia persisters, deployed through two routes: Microbe Guard Internal oral for systemic reach, Microbe Guard Diffuser for skin and respiratory support without additional liver burden. Biofilm Balance breaks the biofilm structures that help protect intracellular pathogens and that hinder the penetration of other agents. Optional: conventional medication or ozone therapy, always embedded in the process and in consultation with the attending veterinarian.

Longevity Support (NAD+, Resveratrol, Ergothioneine) restores mitochondrial function and cellular energy production in immune cells that have become depleted with prolonged infection. Liposomal Coenzyme Q10 supports energy production in muscles and organs and contributes to the restoration of vitality and resilience. Liposomal Glutathione is continued for the reduction of oxidative stress and the removal of residues. Gut repair is essential in this phase: long-term infection and treatment structurally affect the intestinal barrier and microbiome. L-Glutamine restores tight junctions and intestinal epithelium. Gut Barrier Support strengthens the mucus layer via fulvic acid and humic acid. Prebiotic Fibers stabilizes the microbiome for long-term immune support.

Stabilize. Less severe symptoms. More energy. Immune system is balanced for phase 2.

Transition to phase 2. Possible temporary deterioration (Herxheimer). This is normal and proves to work. Maintain close contact with veterinarian.

Significant improvement. Fewer chronic complaints. Better energy and immune response. Blood values improve.

Build-up phase. Bowel repair and mitochondrial repair. Durable immune resilience. Finalize and evaluate with veterinarian.

What is a Herxheimer reaction and is it dangerous?

A Herxheimer reaction is a temporary worsening of symptoms due to the massive release of toxins when pathogens die. This can occur during the transition from phase 1 to phase 2 and is generally seen as a sign that the approach is working. In case of serious reactions, always contact your veterinarian and pause the process if necessary.

Does this pathway replace antibiotics or other veterinary treatment?

No. This pathway is an addition to veterinary treatment, never a replacement. It is always used in consultation with and under the guidance of a veterinarian, in addition to any conventional medication or ozone therapy that your veterinarian prescribes.

My dog has fluctuating, misunderstood complaints since importing from abroad. Is this route suitable?

Imported dogs with unexplained varying symptoms are one of the target groups of this trajectory, because dormant intracellular infections such as Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Leishmania or Babesia are often not diagnosed in the country of origin. An intake with a veterinarian is necessary to determine whether this process is appropriate.

Can I start this process myself without the intervention of a veterinarian?

No, this is the toughest route in the NGD Care offer and not intended for independent use. Due to the risk of Herxheimer reactions and the complexity of intracellular infections, veterinary guidance is necessary throughout the process.
