Next step: Read our Lyme disease condition guide, then Find vetted clinics for Lyme-related care in the Regenerated directory. This article is educational — not medical advice, and not an endorsement of any clinic. Lyme Disease at a Glance Cause: Borrelia burgdorferi (spirochete bacterium) Primary Vector: Ixodes (black-legged/deer) ticks CDC Estimated Cases: ~476,000/year in the…
At a Glance The 2002 WHI findings that drove widespread HRT discontinuation were substantially revised in later analyses; the original trial used older women, oral estrogen, and a specific synthetic progestogen not representative of modern HRT. Transdermal estradiol does not increase blood clot or stroke risk, unlike oral estrogen; this is not a minor distinction….
A complete guide to low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation — how it works, conditions treated, evidence levels, costs, and how to find a provider.
At a Glance HBOT for TBI is one of the most promising off-label applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, with a growing body of clinical evidence – including randomized controlled trials and advanced brain imaging studies. The mechanism: breathing 100% oxygen under pressure increases dissolved oxygen in brain tissue, promoting neuroplasticity, reducing neuroinflammation, and supporting new…
Brain fog is not a diagnosis — it is a symptom of something else going on. This comprehensive guide covers the 15+ root causes of brain fog, how to test for them, evidence-based treatments, and when brain fog signals a condition your doctor might miss.
Everything you need to know about peptide therapy — BPC-157, thymosin alpha-1, CJC/ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, Semax, and more. How they work, what the evidence shows, protocols, costs, safety, and the regulatory landscape.
Low-intensity shockwave therapy is marketed as a cure for ED. Here’s what clinical trials actually show, who benefits most, and where the evidence falls short.
At a Glance Emerging clinical evidence suggests LDN can reduce thyroid antibodies (TPO and TgAb) in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. LDN works through immune modulation, not immunosuppression, it rebalances the immune response rather than shutting it down. Typical dosing follows the standard LDN protocol: start at 0.5 mg, titrate to 4.5 mg at bedtime. Antibody changes typically…
Several supplements have genuine evidence for improving erectile function, but the quality varies widely. Here’s a clinician’s breakdown of what the research actually shows for the most popular ED supplements.
A full breakdown of mast cell activation syndrome triggers, from foods and chemicals to stress and hormones, plus practical tools for tracking your personal trigger profile.
At a Glance Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) uses soft-shell, portable chambers that pressurize to 1.3 ATA – significantly lower than clinical HBOT chambers (1.5 to 3.0 ATA). Soft-shell chambers typically use room air or an oxygen concentrator (delivering 24% to 35% oxygen) rather than 100% medical-grade oxygen. They provide a measurable but modest increase…
At a Glance Hormonal acne is driven by androgens stimulating sebaceous gland activity; the key conversion is testosterone to DHT via 5-alpha reductase in skin tissue. The insulin-IGF-1 axis is as important as androgens in many patients: high glycemic diets and insulin resistance amplify sebum production and inflammatory signaling. Characteristic distribution is the lower face,…
