Exosome therapy for hair loss is promising in the lab but premature in the clinic: human studies are small and early, and no exosome product is FDA approved for hair loss or any other use.
At a Glance Ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone (O3) to combat infections, reduce inflammation, and stimulate immune function in Lyme disease patients. Major autohemotherapy (MAH) and 10-pass ozone therapy are the most common delivery methods for systemic Lyme treatment. Ozone has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Borrelia burgdorferi in laboratory studies, including against persistent and biofilm…
Stem cell treatment for a shoulder labral tear is usually an image-guided injection of your own bone marrow concentrate, but labral evidence is limited to small case series. Rotator cuff tears and mild to moderate arthritis have stronger data, and all uses are cash pay and not FDA approved.
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is an immune disorder in which mast cells release histamine and other mediators too easily, causing episodic symptoms in two or more organ systems. This guide covers symptoms, diagnostic criteria, triggers, layered treatment and the MCAS, POTS and EDS triad.
Prolotherapy injects a 12.5 to 25% dextrose solution, not stem cells, into weak ligaments and tendons over 3 to 6 sessions. What to expect before, during and after, the evidence, and how it compares with PRP, cortisone and stem cell therapy.
Brain fog after COVID affects about 22% of people 12 or more weeks after infection, according to a 2022 meta-analysis. Most improve within 3 to 12 months, and treatment targets drivers such as poor sleep, overexertion and mast cell activation.
At a Glance Up to 50% of “idiopathic” small fiber neuropathy cases may be autoimmune in origin – meaning the immune system is attacking the nerves. Sjögren’s syndrome is the leading autoimmune cause, followed by celiac disease, lupus, sarcoidosis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Specialized antibody testing – TS-HDS and FGFR3 antibodies – can identify autoimmune SFN,…
Dermatologists advise keeping a fragrance-free ceramide moisturizer, such as CeraVe, in daily use during dupilumab therapy, as the pivotal trials did. Here is the full eczema treatment ladder from emollients to biologics, with a routine for children.
Fibro fog is a measurable drop in working memory, attention and processing speed that affects an estimated 50 to 80 percent of people with fibromyalgia. Pain signaling, poor sleep, neuroinflammation and reduced brain blood flow drive it, and treating them together helps most.
At a Glance Multiple clinical trials (including from Stanford University) show LDN can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms by approximately 30 percent. LDN works through a different mechanism than standard fibromyalgia drugs, it modulates glial cell activation and reduces neuroinflammation. Typical dosing starts at 0.5 mg and titrates up to 4.5 mg at bedtime over several weeks….
Lyme disease is spread by infected Ixodes ticks and affects roughly 476,000 people in the U.S. yearly. This guide covers testing limits, antibiotic protocols, chronic Lyme, and integrative care.
