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 [...]
Pyroluria is a genetic condition that affects the body’s ability to process and use zinc and vitamin B6. Individuals with this condition produce excessive amounts of a byproduct called kryptopyrrole, which binds to and depletes zinc and vitamin B6. This can lead to a range of physical and psychological symptoms, including ADD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, [...]
IV nutritional therapy is a specialized form of treatment that delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. This type of therapy can be beneficial for individuals with methylation issues, which are genetic mutations that can affect how the body processes certain nutrients. In this article, we will discuss how IV nutritional [...]
Regenerative cell IV therapies have become a popular treatment for various health conditions, including inflammation and autoimmune disorders. These therapies utilize cells which have the potential to regenerate and repair damaged tissues in the body. In this article, we will discuss how regenerative cell IV therapies can help address the root causes of inflammation and [...]
