Rheumatological conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), myositis, and dermatomyositis are complex diseases that involve the immune system attacking healthy tissues. Traditional treatments for these conditions typically involve immune-suppressing drugs, which can have significant side effects. However, exosome therapy, a relatively new form of regenerative medicine, has shown promise as an alternative treatment option. Exosomes [...]
Exosome and regenerative cell therapies are emerging as powerful tools for addressing chronic degenerative conditions, including autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s, Crohn’s, MS, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and conditions like Lyme disease. These therapies are delivered in an IV format, which offers several advantages over other delivery methods. Firstly, IV delivery ensures that the exosomes or [...]
Streptococcus sanguinis is a gram-positive bacterium that is normally found in the mouth and upper respiratory tract of humans. It is known to play a role in the development of dental caries, also known as tooth decay. Recent studies have also linked Streptococcus sanguinis to various autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular disorders. This bacterium has been [...]
Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections. Certain infections can cause nerve damage or inflammation that results in symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness. Here are some infections that are known to be linked to peripheral neuropathy. First, viral infections such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and [...]
Dietary approaches are an important part of functional medicine for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. A healthy, well-balanced diet can provide essential nutrients that support nerve health, reduce inflammation, and promote nerve repair and regeneration. Here are some dietary approaches that may be beneficial for patients with peripheral neuropathy. First, a diet rich in antioxidants [...]
Die-off and Herxheimer reactions are common side effects of many natural and conventional treatments for Lyme disease and other chronic infections. These reactions occur when large numbers of bacteria are killed off, leading to the release of toxins into the bloodstream. The symptoms of a die-off or Herxheimer reaction can be severe and include fatigue, [...]
Borrelia, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, is transmitted by ticks. While Lyme disease is often the focus of discussions about tick-borne illnesses, there are other infections that ticks can spread. Exposure to these infections is linked to several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic [...]
IV exosome therapy is a cutting-edge functional medicine approach that has been gaining popularity for the treatment of various conditions, including peripheral neuropathy. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that carry genetic material and other molecules that can influence cell behavior. They are involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including immune response, inflammation, and tissue [...]
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It can cause tingling, numbness, and burning pain in the hands, feet, and legs. Traditional treatment for peripheral neuropathy focuses on managing symptoms, but functional medicine offers a more proactive approach that addresses the root causes of the condition. [...]
Dr. Datis Kharrazian, a functional medicine expert, has done extensive research on the connection between amino acid sequences and food sensitivities, and how this can lead to autoimmune disorders. Amino acid sequences are specific chains of amino acids found in various foods, and some of these sequences can closely resemble amino acid sequences in human [...]
