Lyme disease can cause a disruption to collagen. This can lead to many symptoms. Optimize Lyme disease treatments: support your collagen and connective tissue. Lyme disease and associated co-infections have become a pervasive epidemic. More than 300,000 cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed annually in the US, and these numbers are likely significantly under-reporting the

How many of your patients right now have both MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)? Many I’m sure! Have you determined which came first? You absolutely should. Why? Numerous antihistamine drugs are also anticholinergics. POTS is characterized by dysautonomia and an associated loss of vagus nerve function. If POTS developed

The RCCX gene cluster on chromosome 6 is one of the most complex regions of the human genome, and one that is likely a major player in chronic disease susceptibility. The RCCX gene region features a series of highly complex and anomalous activities, while the constituent genes in the region confer powerful effects throughout the

Gilbert’s syndrome is a condition involving a defect in a phase 2 glucuronidation gene known as UGT1a1. The result of this causes elevations in the levels of unconjugated bilirubin. The current scientific consensus is that Gilbert’s is a relatively benign condition. I disagree with that contention. I believe that UGT1A1 genetic polymorphisms are prone towards

CIRS is also known as ‘chronic inflammatory response syndrome’. CIRS is a term that was created by Ritchie Shoemaker, MD (11) out of the necessity to define the pathology of biotoxin and mold-related illness. CIRS is based upon a series of inflammatory responses to biotoxin exposure, such as mold exposure from water-damaged buildings (11, 12).

The origins of autoimmune thyroid disease should be appropriately viewed from the context of immunological dysregulation, set forth by a myriad number of genetic and epigenetic factors. This view should seek to investigate the metabolic significances of thyroid physiology, with its highly oxidative environment, as well as its propensities towards heightened danger signaling and innate

The label “adrenal fatigue” has been debated and deconstructed, endlessly for decades. Adrenal fatigue, or adrenal burnout is a term used by alternative healthcare practitioners as an attempt to make sense of an array of symptoms pertaining to fatigue, exhaustion, and everything that is associated with those symptoms. Practitioners utilize various cortisol hormone tests, as

RCCX is a copy number variation (CNV) gene cluster located on chromosome 6. Variations of the RCCX genotype leads to an increased susceptibility to numerous diseases. Significant research links together one of the RCCX genes, C4b with autism, associated cell danger signaling, and problems related to neuronal, synaptic pruning. Last year I wrote an article

One of the major complications of CIRS and mold illness is a type of sinus infection known as marcons. Marcons stands for Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci. Marcons is a type of staph bacteria that produces a biofilm, making it difficult to eradicate. in addition to resulting in sinusitis symptoms, marcons is believed to complicate

BCL-2 is a key protein inside cells that functions as a type of control switch for cell-programmed death, known as apoptosis. Significantly, cancer cells are locked in a malignant state of cell division, where apoptosis genes are down-regulated or switched off. Over-expression of BCL-2 in cancer cells is associated with the inability of cancer cells
