The “Dirty Dozen” is a list of fruits and vegetables, compiled by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), that you should always eat organically. These produce items are not only delicious and nutrient-rich but also tend to carry high levels of pesticide residues when grown conventionally. By opting for organic versions, you can significantly reduce your [...]
Here’s a 3-day detox meal plan tailored to be autoimmune-friendly and compliant with functional medicine principles. This plan emphasizes anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense foods while avoiding common triggers for autoimmune symptoms. Day 1 Breakfast: Green Smoothie Bowl Ingredients: Spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple, avocado, coconut milk, chia seeds. Why: Spinach and kale are rich in vitamins A, [...]
Autoimmune diseases, characterized by the immune system attacking the body’s own tissues, present significant challenges in treatment and management. Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) therapy offers a promising adjunctive approach to managing autoimmune conditions. Functioning similarly to a dialysis machine, EBOO filters the blood to remove toxins and pathogens that may trigger autoimmune responses. [...]
1. Understanding Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of neurological symptoms. Conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, but functional medicine seeks to identify and address the root causes to provide a more comprehensive treatment plan. 2. Investigating Root Causes [...]
In the realm of multiple sclerosis (MS) management, the integration of functional medicine approaches has garnered increasing attention. This holistic paradigm emphasizes addressing the root causes of diseases rather than merely alleviating symptoms. Recent research studies underscore the potential efficacy of certain supplements, notably vitamin D and curcumin, in mitigating MS symptoms and progression. Vitamin [...]
Musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions pose significant challenges to patients, often leading to pain, functional impairment, and decreased quality of life. In recent years, exosome IV therapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality for promoting tissue regeneration and repair in musculoskeletal disorders. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cell types, contain a diverse [...]
In the realm of regenerative medicine, exosome IV therapy has emerged as a cutting-edge treatment modality, offering promising results in tissue repair, regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles secreted by cells, contain a myriad of bioactive molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids that play pivotal roles in intercellular communication and tissue homeostasis. [...]
Lyme disease, a stealthy bacterial infection transmitted through tick bites, is increasingly recognized as a potential trigger for a spectrum of autoimmune conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, Crohn’s disease, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management and immunosuppressive therapies for these autoimmune diseases, a growing body of evidence suggests [...]
Lyme disease and its co-infections, including babesia, bartonella, and ehrlichia, are stealthy adversaries wreaking havoc on the health and well-being of countless individuals worldwide. Characterized by a myriad of symptoms ranging from fatigue and joint pain to neurological impairment and systemic inflammation, these tick-borne illnesses pose significant challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. While [...]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation and damage to the central nervous system, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, pain, weakness, and impaired mobility. While conventional medicine offers disease-modifying drugs aimed at managing symptoms and slowing disease progression, many individuals with MS continue to grapple with [...]
