Neuropathy, a condition affecting the peripheral nerves, can significantly impact one’s quality of life. While conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management through pharmaceuticals, a functional medicine approach delves deeper into identifying root causes, paving the way for more holistic and sustainable solutions. Research suggests that neuropathy can arise from various underlying factors, and understanding [...]
Introduction Neuropathy, characterized by nerve damage often resulting in tingling, numbness, and pain, can be a challenging condition to manage. While traditional treatments focus on symptom relief, functional medicine offers a comprehensive approach aimed at identifying and addressing the root causes of neuropathy. This blog post delves into the promising world of functional medicine testing [...]
Full Spectrum Sauna Therapy (FSST) has been gaining popularity in recent years as a natural way to promote weight loss and overall wellness. Unlike traditional saunas, FSST uses a combination of near, mid, and far-infrared wavelengths to penetrate the skin and stimulate a range of health benefits. Here are some ways FSST can help with [...]
Red light therapy (RLT) has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential benefits in treating various conditions, including neuropathy. RLT involves the use of low-level red light to stimulate cellular function and promote healing in tissues. Here are some ways RLT can help with neuropathy and other conditions, backed by scientific studies. What [...]
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural antioxidant that is produced by the human body and found in foods such as spinach, broccoli, and organ meats. ALA is known for its ability to protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation, and has been studied extensively for its potential therapeutic effects. One form of ALA therapy [...]
Babesia, Ehrlichia, and Bartonella are three bacterial infections that are known to cause a variety of health problems in humans. Here are some key points about how these infections are linked to blood-brain barrier damage, neurological disorders, and arthritis: Blood-Brain Barrier Damage: Studies have shown that Babesia infection can lead to damage to the blood-brain [...]
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 [...]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause acute and chronic hepatitis, which may lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. However, the scope of the disease does not end with liver-related conditions. Recent research has suggested that HCV may be linked to several autoimmune diseases as well. One such autoimmune disease is autoimmune hepatitis, [...]
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 [...]
