Dr. Randy Wolcott’s ground-breaking paper is attached. It’s the first paper that summarizes the depth and breadth of how chronic bacterial biofilm infections affect so many people (millions) and increase the costs of healthcare (billions). The table also describes the number of deaths, but does not provide a “suffering quotient” or “index” that describes how many people suffer with chronic infections.

Not included in this paper:

– 43,000,000 people with chronic sinusitis;
– millions of people with unreported or undiagnosed chronic bacterial infections.
