Today I’d like to talk about sugar regulation, including the conditions hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. There is a lot of research related to this topic, so we’ll also go over some clinical data, and hopefully give you some skills you can incorporate into your own life. If you have a problem and you have dysglycemia, poor sugar regulation will be contributing to your problem. You may even be unable to recover completely from your issues. It does not matter what quality of care you receive, if your sugar regulation is out of control you will likely not recover. What Does A Normal Glucose Response Look Like? One thing should happen when you eat: your hunger pains go away. That's it. The follow signs that you may have a sugar regulation problem might manifest after eating: You get more energy Shakes Brain fog In contrast, normal glycemic control should include the following: You should wake up with lots of energy Wake up with an appetite Hungry between meals Not craving sugars No change in function between meals That last one is very critical: no change in function between meals. If you're changing in function between meals, or if you have any kind of symptoms between meals, this is an indicator that you could possibly have sugar dysregulation. No fatigue or change in energy after or between meals is ideal. Hypoglycemia Symptoms of hypoglycemia (when your blood sugar goes too low) include: You wake up with difficulty No appetite in the morning You consume coffee or sugar for breakfast You lose function between meals (for example, you eat, you feel good, and then you crash) Difficulty staying asleep through the night The last one is very critical to understand. If your blood sugar goes down too low, your adrenal glands produce epinephrine and norepinephrine to produce glucose. When that happens, that's going to wake you up. A spike of norepinephrine and epinephrine is an adrenaline rush. That means if you have too low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, your adrenal glands kick in. They produce epinephrine, norepinephrine, and you wake up. So if you're waking up through the night, a possibility is sugar dysregulation. Later on in this article, I'm going to show you what you can do at home to measure this, to figure this out. Hyperglycemia Now we go to the other spectrum: insulin resistance . Signs and causes of hyperglycemia (blood sugar levels are too high) include: - Waking up not feeling fully recovered. - Waking up with sugar cravings. - Eat a high-sugar and high-starch breakfast. - You crave sugar all day - You're fatigued after a meal (this one is critical, and we will revisit it in a moment). - Difficulty falling asleep. Are these some symptoms that you are having? This would indicate a possibility that you have some sugar dysregulation. Understanding Your Sugar Regulation Before telling you how to test your sugar levels, it is important to understand what normal sugar levels look like. A blood-sugar level reading is considered to be “normal” when it falls in the range of 85 to 120. THIS IS A NON-FASTING RANGE. This is the sweet spot we all want to be in. Any alterations above or below those thresholds is going to indicate some kind of dysregulation of sugar. Hypoglycemia (low sugar) occurs when that number drops below 85, unless you are in a state of ketosis. If you're specifically eating a ketogenic diet, then your blood sugars can fall. But if you're eating a paleo diet, your blood sugar should not drop below 85, generally speaking. With hypoglycemia , you eat food but glucose drops below 85, then it might spike back up higher than the 120 mark, and then it drops drastically again. You may feel like you are on a roller coaster, up and down sugar spikes. Then there is insulin resistance. This would be hyper sugar, or hyperglycemia, when you're chronically above the marker of 120. You may eat some food and glucose is up, then you might crash, and then you go back up. You, like a lot of people, might have a mixed pattern. Testing Your Blood Sugar Levels at Home I am going to detail a protocol below that is very simple for you to do at home and very impactful. You’ll need to buy a blood sugar meter. You can find them on Amazon for around $29, and for a dollar or two more you’ll need the discs to take your blood. You can also buy it all in a kit for roughly the same price. The protocol for tracking your blood sugar levels throughout the day includes checking your levels at the following times: PROTOCOL When you get up in the morning. Before you eat any meal. 30 minutes after you eat any meal. 1 hour after you eat. 2 hours after you eat. Lastly, right before you go to bed. This means that with every single meal, or every single snack, that you consume that day, you will need to check your glucose, and log it somewhere. You need to do this for a week. You need to establish a pattern of what your blood sugar is doing over a good period of time. If you do this for seven days, you're clearly going to know, without a doubt, if you have normal glucose control. Do you have a hypoglycemia pattern? Are you insulin resistant? Do you have a mixed pattern? You're going to know this very, very clearly, and it is important to rule that out. If you have a chronic condition, or if you've had any kind of traumatic brain injury, or anything like that, there's a high probability that this is a major factor going on in your body right now. A Note on Blood Pressure In the case study below, I also had people check their blood pressure . Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80. That is important to measure as well because blood pressure pushes oxygen and blood and nutrients to your head and your other extremities. If you do not have good blood pressure, including both low and high blood pressure, it can cause problems. But the majority of people that I see actually have low blood pressure. Too often people are focused on keeping their blood pressure down. They may see a number such as 100 over 60 and rejoice, but really it is just as much a problem as high blood pressure. Too low isn't enough pressure to push oxygen and blood to your tissue. This is called poor perfusion. If you have any chronic problems at all, you have poor mitochondria! If you have hypo or hyper sugar dysregulation, and on top of that, you have suboptimal, low blood pressure, the consequences may be disastrous. Case Study Looking at this patient, we see that she followed the same protocol I listed above. At the top of the table are the days she tracked her glucose levels. In those columns we can see both the times she took her readings, and the glucose levels themselves. This person has a lot of neurological problems, and she talks about how she's “on,” and if she is on, she's having a good day. If she's off, she has dyskinesia, which is basically saying that she has shakes going on. She also takes a variety of supplements, listed as “dose.” On day one, June 27th, at 9:25am her glucose is 96. Then she eats, and at 9:45 she takes her blood pressure: 113 over 60. She has low blood pressure, not just a little bit of low blood pressure, significant amounts of low blood pressure. At 10:00am, glucose is at 100. Later on it is 108, then 104, and she says her dyskinesia starts to happen part way through the day, so she eats some more, and checks her blood pressure again: 99 over 55, severely low. By 2:00pm her glucose is at 113, and at 4:00 it hits 107. At 4:15 she eats a meal and 15 to 30 minutes later her glucose is 126. Later at 8:00 her glucose is at 146. This is way too high. I don’t like to see anybody above 130, and I like to see blood sugar not going over 120. At 8:40pm she hits 175, that’s almost a full 100 point spike. An hour later it’s 131, still high. Looking at June 28th, she had a high protein meal and her glucose actually goes down from 131 to 109, because there were no carbohydrates. She's very, very sensitive to any kind of carbohydrates. Throughout the rest of the week, we see a similar pattern of low blood pressure and poor sugar regulation. There is a very clear case of dysglycemia. What Can Be Done? In the case of the patient above, we're going to eliminate all carbs. I'm not going to have her do a ketogenic diet quite yet, but I'm going to eliminate carbs and increase fiber . Fiber has been shown to slow down the glucose absorption in your body . From there we'll continue to take these readings and go from there. We'll see what we've changed and determine if it is changing enough so we get a nice, narrow scope of glucose levels ranging from 80 to 120 on that day. She also has a blood pressure problem, and we are handling that right now. This is very simple, and you can do it at home now. You're going to be checking your glucose by pricking your finger 15 to 18 times in one day for seven days, but you'll know what’s going on, and it is very affordable.

What is Fluoroquinolone Toxicity What Happens When You're Floxed? Fluoroquinolone toxicity, commonly known as getting "floxed," occurs when fluoroquinolones, a type of antibiotic, unintentionally harm your body's cells. These medications are designed to target bacteria but sometimes affect your body's mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses in your cells . This can lead to a range of symptoms, affecting your health at a cellular level. The Science Behind Fluoroquinolones: How Do Fluoroquinolones Work? Fluoroquinolones are unique because they target the DNA of bacteria. Unlike some antibiotics like penicillin, which attack the bacteria's cell membrane, fluoroquinolones inhibit the DNA replication in bacteria, which is essential for their survival. This makes fluoroquinolones effective against bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics. The Unintended Target: Mitochondria are the Collateral Damage of Fluoroquinolones Your cells, including mitochondria, have their own DNA. Mitochondria, which were once bacteria themselves, are crucial for energy production in your cells. But fluoroquinolones can't distinguish between the DNA of harmful bacteria and the DNA in your mitochondria. This leads to mitochondrial dysfunction , affecting energy production and overall cellular health. Symptoms and Effects of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity: The Impact on Your Body When mitochondria are damaged, it can result in various symptoms throughout your body. People react differently to being FLoxed, and some people experience more severe or different floxing symptoms than others. The most common symptoms of floxed toxicity include issues like chronic fatigue, neurological symptoms, and digestive problems. Every cell in your body relies on mitochondria, so the effects of their dysfunction can be widespread and significant. Symptoms of fluoroquinolone toxicity Musculoskeletal Issues: Floxed symptoms often involve the musculoskeletal system and include joint pain, muscle pain, tendonitis, and a heightened risk of tendon rupture. People might experience aching, sharp pains, or a general weakness in their muscles and joints. Neurological Symptoms: These can range from headaches and dizziness to more severe symptoms like neuropathy (nerve damage causing tingling, numbness, or pain), seizures, or cognitive impairments such as memory problems and confusion. Gastrointestinal Distress: Symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and digestive issues are common. Some people may also experience a change in their appetite or issues like irritable bowel syndrome. Psychiatric Symptoms: Anxiety is a very common complaint from patients who have been floxed. Depression, mood swings, and other mental health issues can be a part of fluoroquinolone toxicity. Cardiovascular Problems: Some individuals might experience changes in blood pressure, heart palpitations, or other heart-related symptoms. Skin Reactions: Rashes, itching, and other skin issues can occur, sometimes accompanied by sensitivity to the sun. Sensory Symptoms: Sensory symptoms of floxed toxicity can include altered vision, hearing issues, or sensitivity to light and sound. Fatigue: Extreme tiredness and lack of energy, not relieved by rest, is also a common complaint of patients who have been floxed. Autonomic Symptoms: FLoxed symptoms of the autonomic nervous system can be some of the most serious, including issues with regulating body temperature, sweating, and other involuntary body functions. How to Heal from Fluoroquinolone Toxicity: Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Treatment and Recovery Recovering from being floxed involves supporting your mitochondria and overall cellular health. This can include lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and sometimes specific supplements for fluoroquinolone toxicity. Each person's path to recovery is unique, but the focus is on helping your body heal at a cellular level. Supplements and Strategies Certain supplements might aid in the recovery process by supporting mitochondrial health and reducing inflammation. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to find the right approach for you. Prevention and Awareness: Understanding the Risks and Being Informed Awareness is key in preventing fluoroquinolone toxicity. If you are prescribed these antibiotics, it's important to understand the potential risks and discuss them with your healthcare provider. Being informed helps you make the best decisions for your health. Conclusion: Taking Control of Your Health Understanding fluoroquinolone toxicity is crucial for anyone who has been affected by these medications. By learning about the effects on mitochondria and exploring ways to support your body's recovery, you can take steps towards regaining your health and well-being. Remember, healing from fluoroquinolone toxicity is a journey, and you're not alone in it.

Lecture PDF What should my white blood cell count be? While most lab reports indicate a "normal" range of 4 to 11, the ideal white blood cell count range, often referred to as the "sweet spot," lies between 5 and 6.5. Even slight variations from this range can be indicative of underlying health conditions. For instance, a white blood cell count of 7 suggests a mild condition that might be raising the white blood cell count. On the other hand, a low white blood cell count of 4.5 may indicate a chronic infection weakening the immune system . Why does my white blood cell count matter? Your white blood cell count plays a crucial role in your immune system's functioning. Some individuals may have higher counts, while others have lower counts. This variation and range is normal for each person, but it may not always reflect optimal health. Unfortunately, many individuals go for extended periods with high or low white blood cell counts without realizing the potential underlying issues. Is a low white blood cell count serious? The most common reason for low white blood cell count  is recent infection. After your body clears an infection, your white blood cells may have a temporary dip after having had a high white blood cell count to handle the infection. This is how the immune system is supposed to recent. In this case, a low white blood cell count is not dangerous or an indication of a serious disease. What is a dangerously low white blood cell count? If your white blood cell count is chronically low under 4 thou/uL,  this could be a sign of a more serious condition. This emphasizes the importance of thorough investigation and tailored treatment to address their unique health needs. What causes a low white blood cell count? There are many factors that affect your white blood cell count and can lead to it being high or low. Some common low white blood cell count reasons include autoimmune diseases, low vitamin D levels, food and gluten sensitivities, pathogens, such as Lyme and mold,  high insulin  levels, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, stress, chronic inflammation, low hormone levels, low testosterone, yeast infections, Candida overgrowth, C. difficile, H. pylori, poor detoxification, chronic infections, leaky gut/brain, and dietary protein issues. The Link between White Blood Cell Dysregulation and Autoimmune Diseases Individuals with autoimmune diseases often experience dysregulation in their white blood cell counts. When the immune system is suppressed, it leads to lower levels of these cells, which puts individuals at greater risk for various diseases. Identifying the cause of this dysregulation is essential for effectively addressing their health conditions. Comprehensive testing, including advanced analysis of white blood cell counts and lymphocyte subcategories, can provide a clearer understanding of the dysregulation and guide appropriate treatment. What does a high white blood cell count mean? An abnormally high white blood cell count signifies an excessive number of white blood cells in the body. This can involve one or more individual types of white blood cells or even all of them. This can be the causes of many factors as well, most notably including an inflammatory disease. In conclusion Remember, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and with professional guidance and support, you can regain control over your health and well-being. I am here to help you on your journey towards optimal health, offering personalized care and empowering you to achieve lasting wellness.

Welcome to My Carnivore-ish Journey Hey there! This is Doctor Hugh, and today I’m excited to share my latest Aldi haul with you. I’ve been following a carnivore-ish diet since January , focusing mainly on meat, proteins, fruits, and some carbs. This diet has worked wonders for me and my clients, especially those suffering from antibiotic damage. Let’s dive into what I bought! My Aldi Grocery Haul Breakdown Fruits and Keto-Friendly Snacks I love shopping at Aldi because of their high-quality fruit selection. Here’s what I picked up: Blackberries : I got three packs of these delicious berries. Blueberries : Another favorite in my fruit arsenal. Keto Coconut Clusters : Perfect for satisfying my sweet tooth without straying from my diet. Choosing the Right Fruits For those with severe chronic conditions, I recommend fruits without seeds like apples, pears, and peaches. Seeds can contain neurochemicals that some people are sensitive to. Nuts and Trail Mix I do enjoy some nuts and trail mix, but I advise my clients to avoid seeds initially. Here’s what I got: Trail Mix : A mix of raisins, peanuts, sunflower kernels, dried cranberries, and almonds. Sunflower Seeds : A crunchy, healthy snack. Embracing Full Fat and Protein Coffee and Dairy I start my day with a cup of coffee mixed with full-fat cream. Don’t be afraid of fat! However, if you have GI issues, fibromyalgia, or brain fog, you should avoid dairy initially and focus on a strict carnivore diet. Meat – The Heart of My Diet Aldi has a fantastic meat selection. Here’s what I bought: Black Angus Beef Patties : Six juicy patties ready for the grill. Organic Grass-Fed Beef : 100% grass-fed and 90% lean. Black Angus Ribeye Steak : A flavorful, protein-packed choice. Black Angus Eye of Round Steak : Another great option at a reasonable price. For those following a carnivore diet, you need to consume enough protein. If you weigh 150 pounds, aim for 150 grams of protein daily. This might mean eating a pound and a half of beef! Protein Shakes for Convenience Sometimes, eating enough meat can be overwhelming. That’s where carnivore protein shakes come in handy. I use pure protein powder made from hydrolyzed beef. Here’s my morning shake recipe: Two scoops of pure protein powder (40 grams of protein). A cup or cup and a half of whole milk. Raw oatmeal. Fish oil and phosphatidylcholine for cell health. Ice cubes. This shake gives me around 50 grams of protein to start my day. The Benefits of the Carnivore-ish Diet Since adopting this lifestyle, I’ve experienced significant muscle gain and improved gym performance. My clients have seen remarkable results too, with better clarity, energy, and overall health. Final Thoughts and Your Questions I’m here to answer any questions you have about the carnivore diet. Feel free to comment below, and I’ll do my best to help. Remember, this diet isn’t just about eating meat – it’s about finding what works best for your body and health. Thanks for joining me on this journey, and enjoy the rest of your day!

How to Increase Magnesium in Your System If we find nerve damage in our office visit with you and you’re in pain, or if you find yourself chronically in pain for other causes, you may be magnesium deficient. Following this daily program can help push you in the direction of healing much quicker. Buy on Amazon Magnesium Water Container Research shows that about 50% of all Americans are magnesium deficient, with some studies claiming as much as 80%. Magnesium is very critical to your body’s systems. This vital mineral is used in over 400 different pathways and reactions in your body. Low magnesium levels can also make your vitamin D less efficient in your body, which will affect your immune system and pain management. It can also elevate protein in the blood, causing chronic inflammation. The list of symptoms of magnesium deficiency is quite long, and can include any of the following: - Tiredness - Exhaustion - Headaches and migraines - Sleep problems and disorders - Restlessness - Anxiety - Increased irritability - Cramps - Muscle pain in various regions around your body - Neck and lower back pain - Tension in shoulders - Heart problems - Racing heart - Menstrual problems - Hot or cold fingers or extremities If you’re suffering from several of these issues, then it would be worth your time to try and follow the steps below. The At-Home IV Magnesium Drip The first thing you will need to do is buy a large water bottle, about 64oz. Stainless steel water bottles work best because they last a long time. Next, purchase powdered magnesium. There are a wide variety available online. I call this an “IV drip” because you will put this powder into your water bottle and sip on it throughout the day. Start with one scoop of the magnesium powder in your water bottle, and sip on it the entire day. This will also help with general hydration. You may need to drink anywhere from two to three of these bottles per day. A good rule of thumb is take your weight and divide by two. That number is how many ounces you should drink a day. For example, a 200-lb person would need to drink 100oz of this water per day. The next day, take two scoops the water, and again sip this through the entire day. Each day, add another scoop of magnesium until you reach bowel tolerance. This may be split through the day. For example, taking five scoops a day can be split into two water bottles, one with two scoops of magnesium, and another bottle with three scoops. Once you get to the point where you start getting loose stools, go down to the previous number of scoops, and use this as your maintenance dose. For example, if you take two scoops in the morning and three in the afternoon (five total scoops a day), and you get loose stools, reduce to four scoops a day (two morning, two afternoon). The key to this protocol is sipping throughout the entire day, similar to an IV drip. Taking a supplement or pill once in the morning results in a lot of magnesium in your system for that short period of time. In contrast, sipping it throughout the entire day provides a constant amount throughout the entire day, as if you had an IV drip going. The result is you bathing those 400 pathways and reactions in enough magnesium to properly function, and help push you towards healing. Looking to figure out the best magnesium powder for you?

The POWDER form of magnesium is the easiest and CHEAPEST to use! Magnesium is found throughout your body. In fact, every cell in your body contains this mineral and needs it to function. About 60% of the magnesium in your body occurs in bone, while the rest is in muscles, soft tissues, and fluids, including blood ( Source ). One of its main roles is to act as a cofactor — a helper molecule — in the biochemical reactions continuously performed by enzymes. It’s involved in more than 600 reactions in your body, including ( Source ): Energy creation: converting food into energy Protein formation: creating new proteins from amino acids Gene maintenance: helping create and repair DNA and RNA Muscle movements: aiding in muscle contraction and relaxation Nervous system regulation: regulating neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system Nonetheless, studies suggest that approximately 50% of US. adult.s get less than the recommended daily amount of magnesium ( Source , Source ).

Inexplicable Symptoms Linked to Autoimmune Disease Conventional medical practice might be unable to link several seemingly ‘inexplicable’ symptoms to autoimmune diseases. But in many cases, rapid deterioration of health in previously-healthy humans can cause autoimmune diseases. Sometimes, doctors might become puzzled about what’s going on and tell patients “it’s all in your head.” But in reality, it’s not. Proper testing and diagnosis of certain symptoms could be enough to identify autoimmune disorders. Common Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases The most common symptoms of autoimmune diseases include: - Lethargy (prolonged bouts of fatigue) - Seizures (intermittent) - Joint pain - Swelling in the joints - Skin disorders - Brain fog - Insomnia - Digestive problems - Abdominal pains - Swollen glands Click here to learn more about autoimmune health. Most of these symptoms can be triggered by engaging in regular activity. People suffering from autoimmune diseases might have to deal with a massive list of symptoms tied to specific conditions too. Genetic issues or attacks from viruses can also cause an increase in exposure to autoimmune diseases. Neurological Effects of Autoimmune Disease Autoimmune diseases can cause a ‘flare-up’ – a burning sensation some people experience after a clash of symptoms. The flare-up from autoimmune diseases affects the neurological make-up of patients and causes several awkward symptoms. Cell damage from autoimmune diseases is a major cause of brain issues experienced by people with symptoms. The body’s immune system can attack healthy tissues and cells in the spinal cord or brain. Such an attack ultimately leads to chronic inflammation and the burning sensation sufferers feel. Common symptoms linked to neurological flare-ups include swelling, redness, heat and pain. Advanced neurological problems linked to autoimmune diseases include: - Multiple sclerosis - Guillain-Barré Syndrome - Myasthenia Gravis - Sjorgen’s Disease, etc. The best way to manage neurological effects of autoimmune diseases involves co-management from experts. A poly-therapy approach and advice from certified neurology expert is crucial to beat these symptoms effectively. Weight Gain, Fatigue, and Autoimmune Disease Failure to properly manage autoimmune diseases could lead to a nasty bout of weight gain and prolonged fatigue. Conditions like Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism and Celiac disease usually develop after long periods of neglecting symptoms of autoimmune diseases. A compromised immune system could lead to a rapid accumulation of weight in previously-healthy individuals. Management of the conditions linked to autoimmune diseases is an effective way to solve related weight gain problems. Tests to Spot Autoimmune Disease A special Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen (MARS) Test is best suited to locate autoimmune diseases with ease. A properly-conducted MARS test will check for autoimmune diseases against body tissues. Regular MARS tests will check for these diseases over a pre-determined range. Three result ranges – in range (normal), equivocal (intermediate), and out of range (positive) help identify autoimmune diseases. Readings ahead of the normal range are classified as positive, indicating the presence of an autoimmune disease. Readings in range point to an absence of autoimmune diseases in the tissue of interest. Floxies and Autoimmune Disease Floxies (people with antibiotics-related health challenges) also suffer from a range of autoimmune diseases. Seeking expert diagnostic and management of these diseases is vital to living comfortably after being floxed. Management of Autoimmune Disease Correct handling of autoimmune diseases doesn’t have a universal template for all people. Some people might experience significant results with some methods while other struggle to get any benefits. Working out a plan to restore your overall health is easy with a template from tests conducted. Considering results from tests adds more comfort and introduces a method to your overall recovery process. Abandoning a tailored management plan could lead to tissue degeneration and an increase in symptoms of autoimmune diseases. Positive Antibodies against Adrenal Glands, Cerebellar, and Collagen The adrenal glands help our bodies cope with stress and could be affected by autoimmune diseases. Observing positive antibodies against adrenal glands from an array test signifies a breakdown in stress management capacities. The cerebellum is a part of the brain responsible for controlling balance and movement. Identified antibody attacks on the cerebellum exposes patients to a range of conditions like autism, PCD Syndrome, and so on. The same goes for collagen – a component of connective tissue abundant in skin, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, etc. If antibodies appear to attack a human’s collagen, symptoms like arthritis and Type 1 Bullous SLE may become common. Myelin, Demyelination and Stunted Body Functions Myelin supports easy transmission of electrical impulses along nerve cells. Autoimmune diseases may lead to demyelination – the loss of myelin coverings along several nerve fibers. Sustained demyelination results in the impairment of several regular body functions like walking, balance, and so on. Stop-Go Rule and Autoimmune Disease Proper brain functions work along a ‘stop-and-go’ rule. All functions are performed by specific parts, with a massive region acting as the ‘stop’ part. Most anecdotal references term this stop-go function as the ‘90/10’ rule. Regular functions of the brain will require lesser parts to perform regular activity, but that’s for healthy individuals. Unhealthy people will most likely experience spastic reactions linked to several illnesses. In some cases, the increased ‘go’ function from altered brain functions may lead to other symptoms. Extensive management of autoimmune disease symptoms are vital to help ease effects that may influence the brain. Neglecting to reverse the effects of autoimmune diseases could spiral out of control to cause awkward brain activity. Some common neural disorders linked to autoimmune diseases include: - Optic neuritis - Neurosarcoidosis - Neuro–Behcet’s disease - Hashimoto’s encephalopathy - Cerebral lupus - Central nervous system vasculitis - Neuro-myelitis optica - Autoimmune-related epilepsy - Autoimmune encephalitis Consulting a qualified medical practitioner is the smartest way to manage any brain disorders linked to autoimmune diseases. Proper management of symptoms will also address inflammation and help send the disorders into remission. Questions about your brain health? Dr. Hugh has answers.

Introducing Dysautonomia: The Hidden Conditio n Well, buckle up, my friend, because this video is tailor-made for you. I'm here to spill the beans on a condition called Dysautonomia that might be lurking behind the scenes. The Science Behind Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries and Dysautonomia Let's roll up our sleeves and dig into some eye-opening research. Studies have shown that even a mild traumatic brain injury, like a concussion or getting your bell rung, can set the stage for Dysautonomia. The Crucial Role of the Vagus Nerve Here's the clincher: another study unveils that these incidents meddle with your vagus nerve. Feast your eyes on this image of the vagus nerve, the granddaddy of all nerves in your body. It starts its journey in your neck and makes its way to every single organ, making it indispensable for the smooth functioning of your heart, liver, pancreas, digestive system, and spleen. How Dysautonomia Disrupts Vagus Nerve Functioning But when a concussion or bell-ringing event rears its ugly head, Dysautonomia can throw a wrench into the finely-tuned workings of the all-important vagus nerve, which is instrumental in relaxation, digestion, and your body's overall performance. As a result, your health takes a nosedive. Recognizing the Impact of Minor Traumas Keep in mind, we're not just talking about earth-shattering, knockout concussions. Even mild ones or a series of minor traumas accumulated over time can lead to this predicament—possibly even from incidents that date back to your days in diapers. Identifying and Addressing Dysautonomia So, if you suspect that you're wrestling with Dysautonomia or post-concussion issues, don't just sit on your hands. Reach out, and make your way to my website, where you'll discover a quiz to determine

Concussions: The Silent Saboteur of Mind and Body Here is my site content on concussions and dysautonomia You may not be aware of it, but concussions - those seemingly innocent bumps on the head - are silent saboteurs wreaking havoc on our cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being. The aftermath of these traumatic brain injuries is far from trivial; it's time to take a closer look at the sinister side of concussions and the problems they cause. 1. Mind-bending Headaches These aren't your run-of-the-mill headaches. No, sir. Concussion-related headaches have a knack for persisting, derailing your daily life and leaving you in a world of pain. 2. Memory Mishaps Can't remember where you put your keys? Blame it on that concussion. Short-term memory might be the first to go, but in more severe cases, your long-term memory could be at risk too. 3. Wobbling Woes Dizziness and vertigo can transform even the simplest tasks into a treacherous balancing act. A concussion might be the culprit behind your newfound clumsiness. 4. Brain Fog With attention and concentration slipping through your fingers, problem-solving becomes an uphill battle. Concussions can leave your cognitive abilities out to dry. 5. Emotional Roller Coasters Mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety - all these emotional disturbances might be the sinister work of a concussion. 6. Sleepless Nights and Drowsy Days When concussions throw your sleep patterns out of whack, you're left battling insomnia, excessive sleepiness, and a restless mind. 7. The Long Haul: Post-concussion Syndrome Post-concussion syndrome is the unwelcome guest that overstays its welcome, dragging symptoms along for months or even years after the initial injury. Dysautonomia: The Body's Autopilot Gone Rogue Now, let's talk about dysautonomia - a condition where your body's autopilot, the autonomic nervous system, goes haywire. Dizziness, fainting spells, and temperature regulation problems are just a few of the nasty symptoms it brings. Although not directly caused by concussions, it's important to be aware of the potential overlap in symptoms. I'd love to help you explore the mysterious world of concussions and dysautonomia further, but I'm afraid I can't access the link you provided. However, don't hesitate to toss more questions my way, and I'll be more than happy to lend a hand. #concussionawareness #braininjury #headinjury #dysautonomia #traumaticbraininjury #tbi #chronicpain #health #wellness #brainfog #memoryloss #vertigo #postconcussionsyndrome #mentalhealth #invisibleillness #recovery #healing #concussionrecovery #spoonie #headaches #sleepdisorder #emotion #balance #cognitivefunction #concussionlife #concussioneducation #concussionmanagement #concussionprevention #healthandwellness

What You Need to Know About Brain Injuries and Dysautonomia Did you know that even a small bump on the head could lead to serious health issues years later? We’re not just talking about major concussions where you’re knocked unconscious. Any mild traumatic brain injury, like a fall on ice, a minor car accident, or heading a soccer ball repeatedly, could trigger long-term problems. Signs of Brain Inflammation and Its Connection to Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance If you experience symptoms like dizziness, nausea, shaking, or mysterious neurological problems that no one seems to explain, your brain might be inflamed. This inflammation can cause conditions such as chronic orthostatic intolerance , dysautonomia and anxiety , and even dysautonomia and fibromyalgia . The Brain-Gut Connection: Autonomic Nervous System Disorders and Gut Health The brain and gut are in constant communication. When your brain suffers from even a mild injury, it can cause dysautonomia , a disruption in your nervous system that affects everything from digestion to immunity. How Dysautonomia Causes Issues Like POTS and Neurocardiogenic Syncope Conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and neurocardiogenic syncope are linked to disruptions in the autonomic nervous system. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as: Gut inflammation Poor digestion Irregular heart rate Light sensitivity How Your Brain Affects Your Gut: Dysautonomia and Chronic Fatigue The vagus nerve , the longest nerve in your body, plays a huge role in this connection. Starting in the brainstem, it travels down to your lungs, heart, liver, pancreas, and intestines. When your brain is inflamed or injured, it can disrupt this nerve’s function, causing symptoms like dysautonomia and chronic fatigue , dysautonomia and light sensitivity , and gut-related problems. What Is Leaky Gut and How It’s Linked to Dysautonomia and Heart Rate Issues? Your gut lining is only one cell thick—think of it as a fragile barrier keeping bad stuff out of your bloodstream. When your brain is injured, this barrier can break down. What Happens with Leaky Gut? Toxins and bacteria from your gut cross into your bloodstream. This can cause inflammation throughout your body, leading to symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, or fatigue. Over time, this can even trigger autoimmune diseases and affect your heart rate. The Science Behind Dysautonomia and Fibromyalgia Research backs this up. Studies on mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) show: mTBIs cause gut microbiome imbalances , leading to bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. Brain injuries increase intestinal permeability, allowing harmful substances into the bloodstream. How to Protect Your Brain and Gut from Dysautonomia and Anxiety If you’ve had any sort of head trauma, it’s essential to take action now. Ignoring these issues could lead to long-term damage. Steps to Heal Dysautonomia, Gut Health, and Chronic Fatigue Identify Symptoms : Watch for signs like brain fog, digestive issues, or unexplained neurological problems. Seek Functional Testing : Conventional tests may miss the connection. Functional medicine can pinpoint the root cause. Strengthen Your Gut : Focus on healing your gut lining with: Nutrient-rich foods Supplements like probiotics and magnesium Reducing stress to calm your vagus nerve Exercise Your Brain : Brain exercises and therapies can help reduce inflammation and restore function. Take Action Against Dysautonomia and Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance If you’re dealing with gut issues, brain fog, or symptoms no one has been able to explain, don’t wait. Reach out to a provider trained in functional medicine and neurology. The connection between your brain and gut is too critical to ignore. Learn More About Dysautonomia and Light Sensitivity Final Thought Mild brain injuries might seem like no big deal at the time, but their effects can linger for decades. The good news? With the right knowledge and care, you can heal both your brain and gut and live a healthier, happier life. Start your journey to recovery today.

GI Map testing interpretation GI Sample report The G.I. MAP Test  by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is one of the most advanced stool tests available, offering a deep dive into gut health by assessing various markers and potential issues. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of what it includes: 1. Pathogen Detection The test screens for over 15 types of bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses  that may cause infections or GI disturbances. This includes common culprits like Clostridium difficile  (C. diff), Salmonella , and H. pylori , as well as opportunistic pathogens that can disrupt gut function. 2. Commensal Bacteria Commensal, or "friendly" bacteria, are key to gut health, immune modulation, and nutrient absorption. The G.I. MAP Test measures the levels of beneficial bacteria, like Lactobacillus  and Bifidobacterium , as well as Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Imbalances in these bacteria may indicate dysbiosis, which can contribute to various GI symptoms. 3. Markers for Digestive Function This test assesses markers for pancreatic elastase , an enzyme important for digestion, and stearic acid  to check for fat malabsorption. Low pancreatic elastase levels can suggest pancreatic insufficiency, where the body struggles to digest fats and proteins properly. 4. Inflammation and Immune Response Inflammation markers like calprotectin  and lactoferrin  help identify inflammation in the GI tract, often associated with IBD, infections, or other gut disorders. Secretory IgA  (sIgA) levels are measured to assess the immune response in the gut mucosa, which can be weakened by chronic infections or imbalances. 5. Antibiotic Resistance Genes One unique feature is the identification of antibiotic resistance genes, particularly for H. pylori  and some other bacteria. This allows healthcare providers to know if an infection might be resistant to certain antibiotics, guiding more effective treatment choices. 6. Opportunistic Microbes and Fungi The test also screens for opportunistic microbes and yeasts, like Candida albicans , which can grow out of control if gut balance is disrupted. These organisms can lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, and fatigue, and may contribute to broader health issues if unchecked. 7. Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut) Markers By examining certain markers, such as zonulin , which regulates tight junctions in the gut lining, the test can indicate increased intestinal permeability, also known as leaky gut. Leaky gut allows toxins, partially digested food, and other substances to "leak" into the bloodstream, which can trigger immune responses and systemic inflammation. Uses in Healthcare The G.I. MAP Test is especially useful for individuals experiencing chronic digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, mood disorders , and even certain skin conditions. Practitioners use this test not only to identify current infections but also to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for gut health. How It Works Patients collect a small stool sample at home, which is then sent to the lab for analysis. Results are returned to the healthcare provider with a detailed report that explains levels of each marker, providing actionable insights. In Conclusion The G.I. MAP Test’s thorough approach allows practitioners to identify root causes of GI issues and develop targeted treatment plans. It’s valued as a holistic tool for addressing gut health as part of overall wellness. Case Number Two

Discover the Impact of Low Blood Pressure and Find Natural Solutions Full Lecture Notes Chronic medical problems are a common concern among many individuals, leading to discussions on my website and in my videos. These problems can stem from various underlying medical conditions, and one frequently overlooked cause I've observed in my patients is low blood pressure. Understanding the Significance of Blood Pressure When it comes to blood pressure, most of the research focuses on the dangers of high blood pressure. While high blood pressure is undoubtedly a serious issue, we often forget that low blood pressure can be equally detrimental to our bodies. What are the Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure ? Low blood pressure can manifest in a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, dizziness, poor memory, and even hair loss. What's that? Low blood pressure hair loss? Yes, it's possible. It can also lead to nausea, fainting, blurred vision, and lack of concentration. Both men and women can experience low blood pressure, although it tends to be more common among women. How Does Blood Pressure Affects Your Body? Blood pressure plays a crucial role in facilitating the delivery of nutrients to your cells. If your blood pressure is below the optimal range, your blood cells may struggle to reach all the individual cells and provide them with essential nutrients. Consequently, this deficiency can affect various parts of your body, particularly areas abundant in capillaries like fingertips and toes, resulting in symptoms of neuropathy. Inadequate blood flow to the brain can cause fatigue, brain fog, and even nausea. What is the Impact of Low Blood Pressure on chronic medical conditions? If you suspect low blood pressure may be contributing to your chronic medical problems, it's essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly. By doing so, you can identify potential issues and their severity. Tracking your blood pressure while sitting and standing can help evaluate how well your brain functions in different positions. Ideally, there should be a difference of approximately 10 points between the readings, with the standing measurement being higher. If the readings are too close, it indicates difficulty in discerning between standing and sitting. What is the Composition of Human Blood? Understanding the components of your blood can shed light on how low blood pressure affects your overall health. Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Plasma, mainly composed of water, contains various proteins, salts, nutrients, hormones, and waste. Since your blood carries essential nutrients to every cell in your body, taking supplements or medications may not yield consistent results until your blood pressure reaches an optimal level. Low blood pressure hinders the proper delivery of these substances. What are Effective Strategies to Improve Blood Pressure? The good news is that low blood pressure can often be managed with straightforward solutions. Start by purchasing a blood pressure reader and monitoring your blood pressure regularly. Keep track of fluctuations throughout the day to identify patterns and potential triggers. Top Three Strategies for Managing Healthy Blood Pressure If you are struggling with symptoms of low blood pressure, consider these three helpful tips to get your blood pressure up and maintained at a healthy level. Adding salt to your diet can help retain water in your bloodstream, increasing blood volume and subsequently raising blood pressure. Simply incorporating a teaspoon of salt into your daily water intake, sipped gradually, can make a difference. Considering any dysautonomia or nervous system issues is also crucial. If you have a history of concussions or chronic inflammation, it's essential to seek professional medical treatment to ensure proper brain function. Additionally, you may find value in exploring products like AdrenaCalm, which contains Glycyrrhiza, a compound derived from licorice. Glycyrrhiza helps regulate cortisol levels in the bloodstream and supports healthy blood pressure. AdrenaCalm is an affordable product that can be easily obtained from platforms like Amazon . Case Study Example To illustrate the impact of low blood pressure and its relation to chronic medical problems, let's consider a hypothetical patient. This patient is a 45-year-old premenopausal woman with several health concerns, including low blood pressure, low blood sugar, low iron and thyroid function levels, gastrointestinal problems, low vitamin D levels, gluten sensitivity, and difficulty staying asleep. Typically, in the conventional medical system, doctors might focus on treating the patient's gastrointestinal issues by prescribing heartburn medication. They may also prescribe antidepressants for anxiety and depression resulting from thyroid malfunction, as well as sleeping medications. However, instead of resorting to multiple medications, I propose addressing each issue individually and naturally. By identifying the root causes, we can develop a personalized lifestyle plan to aid in the healing process. Customized Treatment for Optimal Results Suppose a patient exhibits low blood pressure, low blood sugar, and low iron levels. In that case, it's crucial to prioritize addressing the blood pressure issue first. Digestive problems, thyroid medications, and vitamin supplements are unlikely to yield the desired results until blood pressure is brought to an optimal level. Moreover, the patient's gluten sensitivity can serve as a guide for necessary dietary changes, which can also help address iron, vitamin D, and blood glucose issues. Final Thoughts My approach prioritizes individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific circumstances. Unlike cookie-cutter solutions offered by the conventional medical system, I recognize that everyone is unique and requires personalized care. If you're seeking assistance with your health concerns, I encourage you to reach out to me. Together, we can assess your situation and embark on a healing journey that addresses your individual needs promptly.

Lecture PDF The Significance of Checking Your White Blood Cell Count Your white blood cell count plays a crucial role in your immune system's functioning. Some individuals may have higher counts, while others have lower counts. The prevailing notion suggests that this range is normal for each person, but it may not always reflect optimal health. Unfortunately, many individuals go for extended periods with improper white blood cell counts without realizing the potential underlying issues. Identifying Abnormal White Blood Cell Counts through Blood Work To determine any potential causes of abnormal white blood cell counts, detailed blood work is essential. By examining blood samples, healthcare professionals can assess the precise count and identify any deviations from the optimal range. What is a White Blood Cell Count Normal Range? While most lab reports indicate a "normal" range of 4 to 11, the ideal range, often referred to as the "sweet spot," lies between 5 and 6.5. Even slight variations from this range can be indicative of underlying health conditions. For instance, a reading of 7 suggests a mild condition that might be raising the white blood cell count. On the other hand, a reading of 4.5 - which would constitute a low white blood cell count - may indicate a chronic infection weakening the immune system . It's important to note that white blood cell count comprises various categories, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, each serving distinct functions within the immune system. Blood Work Sample Exploring the Different Types of White Blood Cells and their Functions What are the different types of white blood cells? Why are there so many white blood cells? And what do all the different white blood cells do? Understanding the roles of different types of white blood cells can provide valuable insights into their significance in maintaining optimal health. Let's take a closer look at each category: 5 Different Types of White Blood Cells Names and Functions: Neutrophils Neutrophils combat and eliminate bacteria, as well as attack foreign debris in the body. Lymphocytes Lymphocytes fight against viruses and produce antibodies. Monocytes Monocytes play a vital role in cleaning up damaged cells. Their count significantly increases during mononucleosis (commonly known as "mono" or "the kissing disease"). Eosinophils Eosinophils are responsible for fighting parasites and cancer cells and are also involved in allergic reactions. Elevated levels of eosinophils often indicate the presence of a parasite. Basophils Similar to eosinophils, basophils are primarily involved in allergic reactions. High White Blood Cell Counts and their Implications An abnormally high white blood cell count signifies an excessive number of white blood cells in the body. This can involve one or more individual types of white blood cells or even all of them. When the immune system is suppressed, it leads to lower levels of these cells, which puts individuals at greater risk for various diseases. The Composition of Blood and the Importance of White Blood Cell Count During blood tests, samples are spun in a machine to separate the different components. On average, red blood cells make up around 45% of the blood composition, while plasma, the fluid containing water, salts, minerals, and proteins, constitutes the remaining 55%. What percent of blood is white blood cells? Notably, white blood cells account for merely 1% of the overall blood composition. Consequently, the white blood cell count plays a critical role in maintaining the body's immune response. Any imbalance, especially a low white blood cell count, can have significant negative consequences. These consequences include an increased risk of autoimmune diseases , autoimmune diseases themselves, an overactive immune system, or a weakened immune system. The Link between White Blood Cell Dysregulation and Autoimmune Diseases Individuals with autoimmune diseases often experience dysregulation in their white blood cell counts. Identifying the cause of this dysregulation is essential for effectively addressing their health conditions. Comprehensive testing, including advanced analysis of white blood cell counts and lymphocyte subcategories, can provide a clearer understanding of the dysregulation and guide appropriate treatment. Advanced Testing for Precise Analysis of White Blood Cell Counts In recent years, more advanced testing methods have emerged, enabling a more detailed breakdown of white blood cell counts. This testing also extends to lymphocyte subcategories, such as T cells, B cells, T-Helper (CD4) cells, and Cytotoxic (CD8) cells. By delving deeper into these levels, healthcare professionals can better comprehend any dysregulation and determine appropriate interventions. This is important because not all low white blood cell counts are the same. Some might be low in one subcategory versus another, so it's essential for people with low white blood cell counts to get advanced testing to better understand their health and the possible limitations of their immune systems. Is a low white blood cell count serious? The most common reason for low white blood cell count is recent infection. After your body clears an infection, your white blood cells may have a temporary dip after having had a high white blood cell count to handle the infection. This is how the immune system is supposed to recent. In this case, a low white blood cell count is not dangerous or an indication of a serious disease. The Neglected Impact of Chronic Conditions on White Blood Cell Counts Unfortunately, many individuals suffering from chronic conditions fail to investigate the underlying causes affecting their bodies. Patients with chronic conditions often display lower or low white blood cell counts. What is a dangerously low white blood cell count? If your white blood cell count is chronically low under 4 thou/uL, this could be a sign of a more serious condition. This emphasizes the importance of thorough investigation and tailored treatment to address their unique health needs. Common Causes of White Blood Cell Dysregulation Various factors can lead to abnormal white blood cell counts, either too high or too low. Some common causes of low white blood cell counts include autoimmune diseases, low vitamin D levels, food and gluten sensitivities, pathogens, such as Lyme and mold, high insulin levels, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, stress, chronic inflammation, low hormone levels, low testosterone, yeast infections, Candida overgrowth, C. difficile, H. pylori, poor detoxification, chronic infections, leaky gut/brain, and dietary protein issues. You and your healthcare provider should also look at what other symptoms you are experiencing alongside the low white blood cell count to help identify the potential causes. Then, tests can be done to understand the root causes of your white blood cell dysregulation. The Need for Comprehensive Testing and Personalized Treatment It is crucial to conduct comprehensive testing to identify the specific causes of white blood cell dysregulation. Unfortunately, the conventional healthcare system often fails to delve deeply into the underlying issues. As a practitioner, I prioritize thorough examination and collaborate closely with my patients to gather concrete data. By doing so, we can develop a guided path to wellness, providing hope for individuals struggling with their health. Remember, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and with professional guidance and support, you can regain control over your health and well-being.

Made primarily in your liver and found in virtually every human cell, it is the body’s master antioxidant and arguably the most potent barrier against disease, toxin, and mutation. It is likewise a key factor to first-line-of-defense immune response, rebound, and repair. Although critical glutathione levels will lower as we age, depletion can be accelerated by stress, illness, infection, poor diet, alcohol, cigarettes, trauma, and environmental toxins. This depletion can manifest itself in ways that might include impaired nutrient absorption and assimilation, gut, lung, eye, blood, skin, and brain issues, keloid scarring, mitochondrial stress for lower energy output, DNA mutation, mass oxidation, and free radical overload ( 1 ). Theranaturals Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ is engineered for enhanced absorption and potency with ultra purity USP grade glutathione and sodium bicarbonate. We do not use fillers, excipients, or flow agents. Naturally support optimal cellular function and immune response with Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ . Live life, Breathe easy, Enjoy! Top Uses: Skin whitening Lung Brain Detox How to prepare: Break capsule open and empty content into container or nebulizer cup. Add 1-3 ml (~1/2 tsp) distilled or DI water or pure saline solution. Let stand or agitate briefly until the solution is perfectly clear. It’s now ready to use. Note: When mixed with distilled or DI water or saline solution, Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ becomes isotonic, making it comfortably ideal for lung, nasal, and other soft tissue contact. TIPS: The capsules should separate easily by gently squeezing on the larger portion and twisting. If you have trouble gripping the capsule in your fingers, a tablet cutter or straight razor can be helpful. Add powder into nebulizer cup before liquids. Nebulizers: We do not recommend the use of heat-based vaporizers or any enhanced high-pressure nebulizers with this product – Doctors have reported mixed results such as GSH breakdown and clogging. Doctors have reported the best results using a nebulizer with a maximum pressure rating of 32psi (+/- 5) and operating pressure of ~16psi. Doctors have also reported positive results with non-heat-based mesh/ultrasonic nebulizers; however, these require special cleaning and maintenance procedures. Ask your doctor for a recommendation. Warning :e. Consult with your doctor first before supplementation. Nebulized Silver You may also benefit from nebulizing colloidal or nano silver for respiratory issues. A 2008 study published in the Journal of Royal Society of Medicine has found that colloidal silver may be beneficial for lung health ( 14 ) . A 2021 animal study published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science has found that colloidal silver may be helpful for respiratory bacterial infections ( 15 ) .

High Sugar Levels Causing Inflammation in Your Body? Here's What You Need to Know The Link Between Added Sugars and Chronic Inflammation We all know that consuming too much sugar can lead to weight gain and cavities, but did you know that high sugar levels can also contribute to chronic inflammation? According to recent research, the added sugars in our diets can trigger low-grade inflammation in the body, which can increase our risk for chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. A study published in the journal Nutrition Reviews in 2015 reviewed the current literature on the topic and found that fructose, a type of sugar commonly found in processed foods and sugary drinks, can trigger the production of uric acid, which can lead to inflammation. Another study published in the journal Nutrients in 2018 found that consuming high amounts of added sugars was associated with increased levels of inflammatory markers in the blood, which can increase the risk of chronic diseases. The Negative Effects of Short-term High-Sugar Diet In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2017 , researchers found that even short-term consumption of a high-sugar diet can lead to an increase in inflammatory markers in the blood, suggesting that high sugar levels can quickly contribute to inflammation in the body. Furthermore, a study published in the journal Diabetes in 2010 found that high sugar levels in the blood were associated with increased levels of inflammatory markers, which can contribute to the development of diabetes and its complications. Reducing Your Risk of Chronic Inflammation So, what can you do to reduce your risk of chronic inflammation caused by high sugar levels? The first step is to be mindful of your sugar intake and choose whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible. Avoid sugary drinks and processed foods, which are often high in added sugars. Instead, opt for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Additionally, getting regular exercise and managing stress can help to reduce inflammation in the body. In conclusion, high sugar levels, especially in the form of added sugars, can contribute to chronic inflammation in the body, which can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. By being mindful of your sugar intake and choosing whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible, you can help reduce your risk of inflammation and protect your overall health.

H. Pylori is a bacteria that lives in your gut and can cause a lot of autoimmune diseases in your body, as well as a number of GI issues when it makes its way into your stomach. Symptoms of an infection caused by H. Pylori can include: Decreased appetite Belching Bloating Increased gum bleeding Heartburn Feeling as if you have a full stomach Nausea Bad taste in your mouth Stomach pain H. Pylori can be tested really easily through a stool sample. But what can cause H. Pylori infections? Causes of H. Pylori Infections There are a number of potential causes of an H. Pylori infection. They can include: Biofilm growth of H. Pylori Food sensitivity (including gluten, dairy, and eggs) Low vitamin D Concussions High inflammation Overactive, or high levels of A1c proteins High insulin or glucose levels Low white blood cell count Underlying autoimmune disease Poor fat absorption Poor GI system Mold Stress Poor sleep Around 30-40% of all people living in the United States will have an infection of H. Pylori at some point in their life. Most of these people are infected as children. Testing for H. Pylori A stool sample is required to test for H. Pylori, which is usually done by receiving a kit in which you deposit your feces and mail it back. The more extensive tests should cost around $98, and will identify multiple strains of H. Pylori. Less extensive tests will cost around $54. The process is much the same for both. These tests can help identify what strains of H. Pylori are infecting you, and in what amounts. This in turn helps guide the treatment plan you and your doctor will create. How Does H. Pylori Cause Problems? Your stomach has a lining that protects the organ’s cells. H. Pylori bacteria burrow into this protective lining and inhibits the production of stomach acid. It accomplishes this by creating urease, which turns into ammonia and neutralizes stomach acid. This neutralized stomach acid causes poor digestion, which in turn allows H. Pylori to flourish. Stomach acid has a very low pH, around 1 or so. This low pH is required for your stomach acid to break down your food. If you don’t have enough acid, or if it is too high of a pH, it will not adequately break down your food. If your food is left in the stomach without breaking down, it will begin to rot in your stomach. This can lead to leaky gut, leaky brain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, chronic inflammation, and many other problems. H. Pylori and Autoimmune Disease The research is showing that having an H. Pylori infection is directly connected to a number of autoimmune diseases. The autoimmune diseases most connected to H. Pylori include: Rheumatoid arthritis Lupus Type 1 diabetes Thrombocytopenia (clotting) Sjogren’s Syndrome Autoimmune thyroiditis Chronic urticaria Ulcerative colitis (Crohn’s disease) Psoriasis H. Pylori affects all of these systems by inhibiting your stomach cells that secrete stomach acid. This throws off your digestive system, which in turn throws off a wide range of other organ systems in your body. What Can You Do? Thankfully there are a number of over-the-counter solutions you can use to fight off an H. Pylori infection. Super Smart’s H. Pylori Fight is a gut health dietary supplement available on Amazon and has overwhelmingly positive reviews. It contains specific probiotic strains that have been studied and clinically proven to fight H. Pylori. Another supplement I recommend is called Bio-HPF. It similarly uses strains of probiotics that are clinically proven to fight H. Pylori infections. You might also take supplements that add more hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) into your system. This helps improve the digestion of foods, instead of letting them sit and rot in your gut. I have published other articles on my website that discuss how to determine if you have stomach acid issues. But at the end of the day, it is most important to take a polytherapy approach to fight off your infections. While these supplements may help your body fight off an infection, treating your body’s underlying conditions may also help it fight the infections off on its own, or prevent future infections. For example, if you have a low white blood cell count, then your body can’t be expected to fight the infection off on its own. However, by treating this condition, you may find that your body more easily recovers. Treating these underlying conditions is most important because it will help your overall health. When we look at the big picture, the goal should not be treating one condition at a time but restoring and maintaining your body’s God-given ability to heal itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Unseen Culprit: H. Pylori This tiny bacteria, H. Pylori , may be camping out in your gut right now, with potential to wreak havoc on your body. If it meanders into your stomach, you could be looking at a series of gastrointestinal challenges and even some autoimmune diseases. The signs of this undercover troublemaker could include: A loss of appetite Burping Feeling bloated Unexpected gum bleeding Heartburn A constant sense of a full stomach Nausea Unpleasant taste in your mouth Stomach discomfort Detecting this bacterial culprit isn't a herculean task. A simple stool sample can help shine a light on any H. Pylori shenanigans. What Makes H. Pylori Tick? Wondering what brews an H. Pylori infection? It could be a plethora of causes: Biofilm growth of H. Pylori Sensitivity to certain foods like gluten, dairy, and eggs Deficiency of Vitamin D Past concussions High inflammation Overactive A1c proteins Elevated insulin or glucose levels Low white blood cell count Underlying autoimmune diseases Poor fat absorption Weak GI system Exposure to mold Stress Poor sleep Approximately a third to a half of the U.S. population may have an encounter with H. Pylori during their lifetime, often in childhood. The Path to Uncover H. Pylori A stool sample is the key to identifying H. Pylori, using a kit you can receive, use, and send back by mail. A detailed test costing around $98 can identify multiple strains of H. Pylori. A less comprehensive test, around $54, will give you a simpler overview. Regardless, both these tests can provide valuable insights to you and your healthcare professional to tailor a suitable treatment plan. How Does H. Pylori Stir the Pot? H. Pylori, like a professional burglar, burrows into your stomach lining that safeguards your stomach cells. By producing urease, it neutralizes the stomach acid, disrupting digestion and providing a flourishing ground for H. Pylori. Stomach acid, with its low pH of around 1, is crucial for breaking down food. If this acid is neutralized, the food doesn't break down properly, leading to a host of issues including leaky gut, leaky brain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, chronic inflammation, and more. The H. Pylori and Autoimmune Disease Connection Research is pointing towards a strong link between H. Pylori infection and various autoimmune diseases such as: Rheumatoid arthritis Lupus Type 1 diabetes Thrombocytopenia (clotting) Sjogren’s Syndrome Autoimmune thyroiditis Chronic urticaria Ulcerative colitis (Crohn’s disease) Psoriasis By disrupting your stomach acid secretion, H. Pylori can trigger a chain reaction across multiple organ systems in your body. Your Toolkit Against H. Pylori There's no need for despair. The market offers a variety of over-the-counter solutions to wage war against H. Pylori. Products like Super Smart's H. Pylori Fight, a gut health dietary supplement available on Amazon, boasts a roster of probiotic strains known for their H. Pylori battling skills. Another worthy warrior in your arsenal could be Bio-HPF, using similar probiotic strategies against H. Pylori. Supplements that enhance your stomach acid can also help improve digestion, preventing food from decaying in your gut. To identify if you have stomach acid issues, you can check other articles on this website. Ultimately, a multi-pronged approach is most effective against infections. While these supplements can aid your body in the battle, addressing underlying conditions may empower your body to fend off the infection itself or prevent future invasions. For instance, a low white blood cell count can hinder your body's ability to fend off infections. By addressing this, you might find your body recovers more easily. At the end of the day, the goal is not just about tackling one issue at a time, but rather about nurturing your body's inherent ability to heal itself, enhancing your overall health.

Taking Internal Mold from 5700 to 0 in under 10 Months! In this article, I will be examining the case of one of my patients. This man came to me in August of 2020 suffering from depression, anxiety, and fatigue. He was active and in good shape, and worked in the rental business. He had previously suffered from chronic sinus infections and had already had a corrective surgery to fix his deviated septum. After that surgery, he was placed on a lot of antibiotics, particularly Cipro and fluoroquinolones. Suddenly he was dealing with anxiety, depression, fatigue, and depolarization. Aspergillus and Mold Infections The first test we looked at was the Mycotox Profile by Great Plains, administered in August of 2020. In particular, we looked at aspergillus, a common mold, and its byproduct gliotoxin. This first test came back with readings over 5700. Now, most people breathe in Aspergillus spores daily without issue. It really only becomes a problem for people with weakened immune systems. In this case, the patient’s immune system had become weakened due to the medications he was given post-surgery. 1st Mold testing done on August 19, 2020 Gliotoxin: 5464 2nd Mold testing done on September 9, 2020 Gliotoxin: 2393 3rd Mold testing done on January 4, 2021 Gliotoxin: 1592 4th Mold testing done on April 12, 2021 Gliotoxin at ZERO! Mold infections are chronic, and you will not get better without medical attention. Many chronic conditions that are difficult to diagnose end up being caused by a mold infection, which is rarely tested for in common systems. This patient had been suffering from chronic sinus infections for decades, which may have been closely tied to his mold infection. Aspergillus in particular excretes gliotoxin as a way of suppressing your immune system to keep your body from fighting it. Treatment’s Results After identifying the problem in this patient, we began a treatment plan. By the time we tested again in September of 2020, his readings dropped to slightly below 2400. His third check, in January 2021, showed another drastic drop to around 1600. Our most recent check, in May of 2021, showed a level of zero. This type of condition often goes overlooked in the conventional system. Using functional medicine, we were able to identify his problem and find a solution that worked for him. Within a month he saw a drastic increase in his quality of life, and now he’s living mold-free .

Many people suffer from tightness, pain , or inflammation in their joints. One common area for these problems is the Achilles tendon. In this article, I will discuss these common issues, and look at a 3D model of your tendon to help you understand what is happening and how to treat it. What is the Achilles Tendon? The bone that makes up your heel is called the calcaneus. The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to this bone at the back of your foot . This tendon is the thickest, strongest tendon in your body. Tendons are unique, because they do not have direct blood flow, like muscles do. They instead work through osmosis, sort of like a sponge absorbing water. This lack of blood flow is one contributing factor to long recoveries from tendon-related injuries, such as ACL problems in athletes. Why is the Achilles Tendon a Common Problem? Another feature unique to the Achilles tendon is its lack of bone structure support. Other tendons in your body, especially tendons in your feet, are supported by a number of bones all around them. The Achilles tendon, on the other hand, has a lot of empty space near its connection to the calcaneus. This may be one reason why it is often a “weak link” in the body. Because the Achilles tendon is the largest tendon with the least amount of blood flow, and a lack of support, it can be highly affected by some of your other underlying conditions. For example, if you have poor blood pressure then your blood vessels and arteries around the Achilles tendon will not be able to properly deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tendon. This can cause damage in the long term. Achilles Tendons and Inflammation Your Achilles tendon is also highly susceptible to inflammation. I have many different posts about inflammation on this blog, which you can find with a quick search. I also have many articles about tendons, since they pop up so frequently as secondary conditions to other problems you may be experiencing. It is important to check all of your markers of inflammation. Blood work is crucial to understanding your inflammation issues, as are your homocysteine levels. You may need to check your DMSO with magnesium, allergies, exposure to mold, and much more can all cause inflammation which will affect your Achilles tendons. Other Causes of Achilles Tendon Problems Another symptom to watch out for is the temperature difference between your legs and the rest of your body. If your knee is at 90F, but your Achilles tendon is only 80F, then you likely have a problem with blood flow. You can check your temperature with any infrared thermometer like this: Brain and cerebellum problems caused by some sort of head trauma can cause issues with your Achilles tendon as well. Improper, or lacking communication from your brain to these body parts can cause issues, including balance problems. Balance issues themselves can also add to your Achilles tendon issues. Solutions to Issues with your Achilles Tendon There are many solutions to problems with your Achilles tendon. They can be as simple as wearing compression socks or soaking your feet in epsom salt baths and warm water. The heat encourages better blood flow, which will lead to better healing in your tendon. Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant which helps protect tissues. Taurine and Vitamin C are also very helpful to maintain tendon health. If you are suffering from Achilles tendon pain, or other tendon problems, please reach out to me. We can run diagnostics and help find you solutions to your health problems. Always remember: where there’s help, there’s hope. If you are struggling with Achilles tendon pain, contact Dr. Hugh for a consultation!

Sources: Review of light parameters and photobiomodulation efficacy Brain Photobiomodulation Therapy: a Narrative Review Photobiomodulation induces antinociception, rec overs structural aspects and regulates mitochondrial homeostasis Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a light therapy that uses red and near infra-red light to induce photochemical reactions in the body on the molecular and cellular levels. Summus Medical Laser protocols combine wavelengths, pulsing and power to achieve unparalleled therapeutic effects including modulation of inflammation, reduction in pain, accelerated tissue healing and increased circulation. Cellular Effects During laser therapy, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated. The cascade of beneficial effects that follows includes increased cellular function and tissue repair. Therapeutic Effects During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.

Welcome! Today, we're diving into five critical steps to help your Achilles tendon heal and thrive—especially if you've experienced damage from antibiotics like fluoroquinolones or have chronic sprains and strains. PDF Notes Understanding Achilles Tendon Injuries The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in your body, yet it’s also the most injury-prone. Why? Blood flow—or lack of it. There's a particular area in your Achilles tendon known as the "zone of hypo-vascularity" that doesn't get much blood. Less blood flow means a higher risk of injury, pain, and slower healing. Achilles Tendon Blood Flow and Damage Blood is essential for healing, but your Achilles tendon doesn’t have great circulation. Two arteries—the peroneal and posterior tibial—provide blood to the tendon, but it’s still not enough. Without proper blood flow, tendons don’t heal well, especially in the middle section, where most injuries occur. Step 1: Blood Work—Your Healing Foundation Before jumping to expensive treatments like stem cell therapy, you must start with the basics—blood work. If your thyroid, blood sugar, or inflammation levels are off, it can stop your tendon from healing. Thyroid:  Proper thyroid function keeps your metabolism running. Hemoglobin A1C:  Keep it between 5 and 5.2 to avoid inflammation. Vitamin D:  Shoot for levels around 80 to boost healing. Magnesium and Iron:  Both are critical for blood oxygenation and energy. Poor Blood Flow Equals Slow Healing If your blood is too thick due to high sugar levels or inflammation, it can’t reach your tendon effectively. This makes it harder for your body to heal the damaged tissue. Step 2: Carnivore-ish Diet for Optimal Recovery For 4-8 weeks, adopt a “carnivore-ish” diet: eat lots of protein and low-sugar fruits (like apples and pears, avoiding fruits with seeds like strawberries and raspberries). Why? Protein is essential for muscle and tendon repair. Aim to consume 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Why Eliminate Vegetables? Some veggies can cause inflammation or digestive issues , slowing your healing. Stick to meat and low-sugar fruits for best results. Step 3: Stabilize Blood Sugar for Consistent Energy Check your blood sugar regularly—before and after meals, and at bedtime. Keep it between 85 and 120 to avoid spikes and crashes. Consistent energy helps repair damaged mitochondria in your tendons. Energy Is Key to Tendon Repair Low or high blood sugar interrupts energy flow to your tendons. Without proper energy, healing slows down. Step 4: Move for Better Blood Flow Movement is crucial. If your tendon is too painful, start small. Even a few minutes on a stationary bike or a gentle exercise machine can increase blood flow to the tendon. Balance Exercises:  Stand on one leg or on soft foam with your eyes closed to improve communication between your Achilles tendon and brain. Better brain-tendon communication helps with stability and healing. Gradually Increase Movement: Start simple—stand with your eyes open, then closed. As your balance improves, try more challenging exercises like tandem standing (heel-to-toe walking). This strengthens the damaged pathways in your brain that communicate with your Achilles tendon. Step 5: Magnesium IV Drip—Your Secret Weapon Magnesium is vital for tendon repair, and most people don’t get enough. Sip magnesium powder mixed with sea salt throughout the day to replenish your body. It helps with over 400 enzymatic reactions, including energy production. Why You Need Trace Minerals Magnesium , along with trace minerals like selenium and iodine, supports energy production and tendon healing. Add high-quality sea salt like Baja Gold to your drinks to supply your body with these essential nutrients. Final Thoughts Healing your Achilles tendon takes time, but with the right steps—starting with blood work, a carnivore-ish diet , stable blood sugar, regular movement, and magnesium —you’re on your way to recovery. Follow these game-changers, and you’ll notice improvement before you know it. Remember, where there’s hope, there’s healing!

Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of Mold Inside Your Body Mold is more than just a pesky growth on your bread or vegetables. It can infiltrate your body, causing serious health problems. Most people are unaware of this hidden danger lurking within them, especially those with weakened immune systems due to medical conditions or antibiotic treatments. The Case of a Courageous 71-Year-Old Lady Let me share with you the story of a remarkable 71-year-old woman who came to me seeking help. She was a delightful lady who had been battling chronic urinary tract infections and a range of other health issues. Unfortunately, her pursuit of treatment within the conventional medical system had inadvertently compromised her body's ability to maintain good health. Unmasking the Mold Infection One ray of hope amidst her struggles was the fact that mold infections can be diagnosed and identified with relative ease. By conducting a urinary test, we discovered elevated levels of indicators associated with mold infection. Specifically, her gliotoxin levels were astonishingly high at around 3400, while the ideal range is below 200. Recognizing the Symptoms The symptoms of mold infection can vary depending on the specific type of mold affecting your body. However, two common signs to watch out for are chronic conditions that don't respond well to treatment and the notorious brain fog. Decoding the Brain Fog Puzzle Brain fog is a valuable clue indicating the presence of a mold infection and can even shed light on the particular mold strain involved. Certain molds, such as yeast, produce alcohol that enters your system and induces a brain fog similar to the haziness one experiences after consuming a glass or two of wine. Embracing a Multi-Faceted Approach The good news is that there's no one-size-fits-all treatment for mold infections. Taking a polytherapy approach that addresses not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes can significantly enhance your chances of reclaiming your health. By comprehensively treating your condition, we empower your body to heal itself and restore balance. Reach Out for a Solution If you're struggling with chronic conditions and suspect that mold may be a contributing factor, don't hesitate to contact me. Together, we can embark on a journey towards finding a personalized solution tailored to your unique circumstances. Remember, mold infections are serious and should not be ignored. By taking proactive steps, we can conquer this hidden menace and restore your well-being.

Download PDF Notes Why Your Brain's "Quarterback" Matters More Than You Think Let's dive straight in. The cerebellum—often overlooked but critically important—is the brain’s quarterback. It’s the Tom Brady of your neurological system, managing over 70 billion neurons , a staggering 80% of all neurons in your brain. When your cerebellum falters, it’s not just a minor inconvenience; it’s a potential crisis that can cause a wide range of debilitating symptoms. The Hidden Dangers of a Dysfunctional Cerebellum Do you ever experience brain fog, anxiety, or dizziness? These could be red flags of cerebellum dysfunction. From racing heartbeats to unexplained vertigo, these are just a few of the issues linked to cerebellum damage. This part of the brain isn’t just responsible for motor control; it also plays a critical role in sensory perception, balance, and even emotional regulation. The Science Behind Cerebellum Function Here’s where it gets fascinating. The cerebellum acts as the gatekeeper of your brain, ensuring that all neurological signals are properly controlled and slowed down. Imagine driving a car with a reliable brake system—that’s your cerebellum. When it’s functioning well, it keeps everything in check. But when it’s compromised, it’s like driving without brakes, leading to all sorts of “accidents” in your neurological system. Symptoms You Should Never Ignore If you’re suffering from symptoms like double vision, nausea, or even a sense of impending doom, your cerebellum might be the culprit. These symptoms are often misdiagnosed because most doctors aren’t trained to look at the cerebellum. Yet, these could be signs that your brain’s “gatekeeper” is underperforming. Understanding the Importance of Balance and Coordination The cerebellum is also responsible for balance and coordination. Simple tests like tandem walking or the “finger-to-nose” test can reveal a lot about its health. If you struggle with these, it’s a strong indication that your cerebellum needs attention. Why Conventional Treatments Fail Most treatments overlook the cerebellum, focusing instead on the symptoms. But here’s the kicker: if your cerebellum isn’t addressed, no amount of medication or therapy will bring lasting relief. This is why many people with chronic neurological issues continue to suffer despite seeking medical help. The Role of Nutrition and Supplements A strong cerebellum requires proper nutrition. Nutrients like Vitamin D, Thiamine (B1), and Omega-3 fatty acids are essential. Supplements like Benfotiamine  and Alpha-Lipoic Acid  can make a world of difference because they’re both fat and water-soluble, meaning they effectively nourish your brain. How to Take Control of Your Brain Health It’s time to be proactive. If you’re experiencing symptoms that just won’t go away, it’s time to consider cerebellum-focused therapies. Strengthening your cerebellum is like going to the gym for your brain. With targeted exercises and the right nutritional support, you can regain control and improve your quality of life. Ready to Take the Next Step? You don’t have to live with unexplained neurological symptoms. By focusing on your cerebellum, you can unlock a pathway to better health. Whether it’s through specific exercises, dietary changes, or the right supplements, the journey to wellness starts with understanding the role of your brain’s gatekeeper. If the cerebellum isn't working well, it can cause a lot of problems, especially with how you move and balance. Here’s a list of signs of cerebellar disruption: Clumsy movements : You might have trouble controlling your movements, making you seem unsteady or clumsy. Shaking : Your hands or other parts of your body might shake when you try to do something, like picking up a pencil. Eye twitches : Your eyes might move quickly without you trying, which can make it hard to see clearly. Reaching problems : You might reach too far or not far enough when trying to grab something. Slurred speech : It might be hard to speak clearly, making your words sound slurred. Dizziness : You might feel like the room is spinning, which can make you feel dizzy or even sick. Weak muscles : Your muscles might feel floppy or weak, making it hard to do things like run or lift heavy objects. Wobbly walking : You might walk with a wide stance or have trouble keeping your balance. Shaking when trying to do something : Your hands might start shaking more when you try to do something precise, like drawing a straight line. Trouble with coordination : It could be hard to do things that need good timing and control, like playing video games or tying your shoes. Thinking and mood changes : Sometimes, it might be harder to pay attention, or you might feel different emotions more strongly Get Expert Help Today If you’re ready to tackle your cerebellum issues head-on, I’m here to help.

Download PDF Testing for Blood Oxygen Saturation and Blood Pressure At Home (Before Getting Expensive Treatments!) It can be costly to try and work with doctors to diagnose what may be causing your health issues. Problems such as fibromyalgia, brain fog, fatigue, and GI problems can all quickly rack up high bills in doctor’s visits and lab fees. Some health problems require these expensive tests and bills in order to properly identify them. Before you spend thousands and thousands of dollars on stem cell therapy, or other major treatment and diagnostic plans, it is good to check for the “low-hanging fruit.” By that, I mean issues that are significantly cheaper (even free) to test and treat. Some of these low-hanging fruit can even be tested and treated at home! It is important to try and treat the simple issues first. If treating these issues solve your problems, then you may see better results and save a lot of money and time in the process. Two Low Hanging Fruits To Check At Home For this example, it is best to have a small, affordable gadget called a pulse oximeter, which is affordable to purchase on Amazon. I have tried many different brands , and this is my favorite one . BUY HERE In this example, we need to keep track of two things: Your blood-oxygen saturation, or making sure you have enough oxygen in your blood. Making sure your blood pressure is high enough to ensure your blood is being pumped deep into your tissues (a process called perfusion). The ideal blood pressure is 120/80. If your blood pressure is low, then blood will not have enough pressure to help your blood perfuse deep into the tissue in your extremities (in particular your legs). Your entire body also needs the oxygen carried by the blood. It is very important to check both of these levels. 1. Oxygen Levels When your blood passes through the lungs it becomes saturated with oxygen, which it then carries throughout the body to the different cells. This oxygen is dispersed and used by the cells. To take a reading with a pulse oximeter, place the device on your finger. You can hold your hand in any comfortable way. I have found the best readings come when you place your hand palm-down on a tabletop with your arm bent, similar to taking a blood-pressure reading. When I test my own readings, and I get (for example) a reading of 96, that means I have 96% oxygenation in my red blood cells. I find the readings can vary slightly, so I recommend doing multiple readings on multiple fingers. When I switch to different fingers, I get readings like 98% or 97%. Most charts will say that 95% oxygen saturation is “normal,” but I prefer to see this number at 97% or higher. Under 96%, your blood may not be carrying enough oxygen where it needs to go. Low oxygen saturation can indicate problems such as an iron deficiency. Too little iron can be a symptom of anemia, but you can have low iron levels without being anemic. Since iron is what carries and delivers oxygen throughout the body, low iron levels mean lower oxygen saturation. 2. Blood Pressure The ideal blood pressure is 120/80. Any reading less than that means your cells are not getting the ideal amount of oxygen, since the blood cannot be pushed deep enough into the tissues. Blood pressure monitors are also relatively affordable on Amazon. I recommend this one by LAZLE. BUY HERE Low blood pressure can result in the following conditions: Dizziness Lightheadedness Fainting Dehydration and unusual thirst Blurred vision Nausea Cold, clammy, pale skin Rapid shallow breathing Fatigue Depression Lack of concentration (brain fog) Checking your blood pressure regularly can help narrow down the cause of some of your issues before resorting to expensive testing and treatments. If your blood pressure is consistently high, please reach out to me to discuss potential causes and treatment options. Conclusion While you may have conditions that end up requiring expensive treatments or tests, it is best to start with the low-hanging fruit options first. Too often people see the top-tier treatment plans and want to pay top-tier prices for them. Those treatments will have a very limited effect on your body if you don’t start with the basic principles and treatments first.

Anemia and Fibromyalgia: Understanding the Connection and Its Implications for Treatment If you or a loved one suffer from fibromyalgia, you may have heard about the possible link between this chronic pain disorder and anemia. Anemia is a condition in which there is a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, which can cause fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms. In recent years, several studies have investigated the relationship between anemia and fibromyalgia, shedding light on this complex and often debilitating condition. In this article, we will review some of the latest research on this topic and explore what it means for fibromyalgia patients. Prevalence of Anemia in Fibromyalgia According to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in Rheumatology International by Karaman et al. (2020), the prevalence of anemia in patients with fibromyalgia is higher than in the general population. This study, which analyzed data from 12 studies involving over 1,500 fibromyalgia patients, found that the overall prevalence of anemia in this population was around 21%, compared to an estimated prevalence of 11% in the general population. Moreover, the study found that anemia was associated with more severe symptoms of fibromyalgia, including pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Vitamin D and Anemia in Fibromyalgia Another study, published in Archives of Rheumatology by Gür et al. (2017), investigated the relationship between anemia, vitamin D levels, and the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms. This study, which included 126 fibromyalgia patients, found that anemia and low vitamin D levels were associated with more severe pain, fatigue, and depression in these patients. Specifically, the study found that patients with both anemia and vitamin D deficiency had the highest scores on measures of fibromyalgia severity, while patients with neither condition had the lowest scores. These findings suggest that addressing both anemia and vitamin D deficiency may be important for improving outcomes in fibromyalgia patients. Iron Deficiency and Anemia in Fibromyalgia Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia, and several studies have investigated its prevalence and implications in fibromyalgia patients. One such study, published in Pain Medicine by Grady et al. (2019), found that iron deficiency and anemia were common in patients with fibromyalgia and may contribute to fatigue and other symptoms. The study, which included 118 fibromyalgia patients, found that around 39% of these patients had low iron stores, and 23% had anemia. Moreover, the study found that patients with iron deficiency had significantly higher levels of fatigue, depression, and pain than patients without this condition. These findings suggest that screening for iron deficiency and addressing it with appropriate treatment may be beneficial for fibromyalgia patients. Anemia and Quality of Life in Fibromyalgia In addition to its physical symptoms, fibromyalgia can also have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. A study published in Clinical Rheumatology by Sariyildiz et al. (2016) investigated the relationship between anemia, iron deficiency, and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients. This study, which included 151 patients with chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia, found that anemia and iron deficiency were associated with lower quality of life scores in these patients. Specifically, the study found that patients with anemia and/or iron deficiency had significantly lower scores on measures of physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, and general health perceptions than patients without these conditions.

Amazing Transformation After Antibiotic Damage: FLoxed Treatment Real-Life Journey to Recovery from Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Hey there! If you're watching this, meet Misty. We're about to dive into her incredible journey. Misty’s had phenomenal results overcoming severe pain, and she graciously allowed us to share her story. This is for anyone out there who’s been hurt by antibiotics. Let's start with a normal call and hear her good news. Misty's Big Turnaround: How to Recover from Being Floxed So, Misty, tell us all the good news. You sent me an update about your pain. Let’s hear it! Misty: I’m really amazed by the turnaround. I couldn’t get out of bed for almost a year. Just last month, after starting your program, I’ve been able to get out of bed. I even helped my daughter move the other day! It was a bit of a setback, but not really. My body wasn’t prepared because I’ve gone from being bedridden and out of shape to really physically exerting myself. Overcoming the Odds: Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Treatment I have to say, this is incredible. This doesn’t happen for everyone, and results can vary. When I first saw your case, I thought it would be very tough because your lab results were what I call "pretty and clean." They weren’t lit up like a Christmas tree, so I expected challenges. To make sure I understand, you were literally bedridden? Misty: Yes, confined to my bed for over a year. Couldn’t even sit in a chair. You couldn’t even sit in a chair? Misty: I couldn’t hold myself up. Journey Through Struggles: How to Heal from Floxing Misty, you were like laying in bed all the time. I didn’t know it was that bad. Wow. And this was happening for a year? Misty: Yes, I would start to get better. Off and on. I went through a little bit of physical therapy. They couldn’t really help me, and nobody knew what was wrong except for more testing. Right, I understand that. And you've gone through a lot of testing, right? Misty: Yes, I still have more coming up. I don’t know that I’m going to continue. Right. Yeah, I would cancel those appointments. Misty: I had a lot of damage to my back. At one point, I had 12 bulging discs. I have spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis. Anything that can go wrong with the back, I have it now. I just wasn’t strong enough to hold myself up. But now I can. Visible Improvements: Fluoroquinolones Toxicity Recovery You look way better. Your complexion looks better. Your facial muscles are more toned. Everything's completely different. Misty: Yes. Awesome. Well, congratulations. That gives me goosebumps. Misty: Thank you. I set a program out, and I knew you were bedridden. I didn’t try to overwhelm you with everything at once. Maybe just tell us what were the biggest things that helped you? Misty: Prior to contacting you, I had started watching your videos and was doing the IV drink. It was helping, but I knew something was still missing. I thought the worst thing I was eating was chips or ice cream, but everything I was eating was making me sick. Mostly chicken. I would eat leftovers and try to eat seven cups of vegetables a day. Okay. Misty: I thought I was doing the right thing, but I wasn’t. Diet Changes and Impact: Supplements for Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Explain what you changed in your diet. Misty: You suggested the carnivorous diet with some fruit like peaches, apples, and pears. I felt better eating peaches, apples, and only beef. I would have some reactions, but not as bad as before. I had no idea it was not just my environment, but also what I was eating that was causing problems. Yeah, hugely. I remember when we talked, your whole neck was cherry red, and your face was red. Today is June 25th, 2024. I sent this plan over on June 6th. So, it's been about two weeks. Misty: Yes, almost two and a half weeks. Physical and Mental Transformation: Floxed Treatment You were in good physical shape before, but this last year, you gained 30 pounds and lost all muscle tone because you couldn't move without pain. Misty: Yes, that’s right. What’s your breakfast like now? People would be interested in knowing. Misty: I changed my drink. At first, I didn’t like it, but now I drink it once in the morning or at night. I eat only meat, mostly ground beef, chuck roast, or steak. I did have pizza one night out of exhaustion and had a terrible reaction, but that’s not happening anymore. Recovery Journey Continues: Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Treatment It's interesting because recovery is full of temptations. People might recover and then give in to a temptation like cake, which can cause a setback. It’s all about tolerance and managing desires. Misty: Yes, I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed eating vegetables or avocado. I had no idea about antihistamine foods that some people might react to. I try to tell people that vegetables have poisons in them, and they look at me like I'm crazy. But you're the proof. This video will make a huge impact on people. The proof is in the pudding. You got better, and many others have gotten better quicker. You won't have to live in a bedroom your whole life. You're too young for that. Misty: It’s really hard mentally to go from being able to do anything to not being able to do anything, even care for yourself. It’s hard being a burden on your family. Path to Healing: How to Recover from Being Floxed How did you initially get injured or damaged? Misty: I never put the pieces together. My boyfriend got COVID, but I never tested positive. I went to the emergency room with sepsis from a kidney infection and got my first dose of Levaquin. After that, I kept getting kidney infections and back pain, resulting in more doses of ciprofloxacin and Levaquin over four years. How many rounds did they give you? Misty: At least four doses of ciprofloxacin and one dose of Levaquin. Wow. Misty: It's scary and overwhelming. Doctors acted like I was crazy when I suggested my symptoms were due to the antibiotics. But I had to have someone help me get back to my car because I couldn’t walk. Congratulations on your progress. That’s awesome. Misty: Thank you. Tools and Techniques: Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Treatment Did you get the chi machine? Misty: Yes, every day. And the massager for your gut and red light therapy. How has that been going? Misty: I had red light therapy before, but the chi machine helped even more. My legs and ankles were swollen, and using the machine helped me get out of bed again. That’s insane. When people are bedridden, they don’t get proper blood flow or lymph flow. Describe the feeling when you use the chi machine. Misty: It’s really relaxing. I try to meditate and calm everything down. That’s when I get the most benefit. Awesome. You mentioned brain fog. How is that now? Misty: It’s getting better. It was so bad that I felt like I had a stroke. I couldn’t come up with words. It's still not 100%, but much better. Vision and Sleep Improvements: Floxed Treatment And your vision issues? Misty: Those are still there, but I’m not giving up hope. We’re only two weeks in. We’ve got time. Did you do Epsom salt baths and eat something at night to monitor your blood sugar? Misty: Yes, every night before bed. It really helps, especially for my back. A lot of people wake up at 3 a.m. because their sugar levels drop. Eating enough protein helps prevent that. Misty: Yes, that stopped happening. Thank God. Continuing the Program: Supplements for Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Here’s what we should do. Since we're on a winning streak, let's not change much. Getting protein will rebuild your protein deficiency. We'll have another call in three weeks and see where we're at. Then we can add things like fish oil for cell membrane health. Misty: Thank you. I’m not complaining. You're doing a great job, and your video will make a huge impact on people. Anything else to add? Misty: Just that I’ve been doing cupping on my back and using a gua sha. Cupping on the back with those handheld rubber ones from Amazon? Misty: Yes, to get the blood flowing. And the gua sha? Misty: It’s a handheld stone used to scrape muscles. If the muscle shows up red, there’s inflammation. I’ve used it on my back, legs, and ankles. Can you send me that link? Misty: Sure. How often are you using the chi machine? Misty: Every day, sometimes twice. Looking Ahead: How to Heal from Floxing I don’t have anything to add to your case right now. Keep doing what you’re doing. We’ll have a call in three weeks, and I’ll add a few elements for neurology. Your blood sugar and blood pressure.

Can Your Body Rust from the Inside Out? Hey folks. Today, I want to delve into an intriguing topic – can your body rust from the inside out? Sounds alarming, right? Well, it's closer to the truth than you might think. I've seen a high percentage of people with chronic diseases and illnesses showing elevated markers, which are often overlooked by both conventional and alternative healthcare systems. A Life-Changing Case Study So let's dive into a case study of a woman who significantly improved her health by addressing these markers. She was able to reduce her dependence on a rollator by 75% - a life-changing improvement. And it's all because we ran the right tests and tailored a plan specifically for her needs. The Power of Ferritin Levels We'll take a look at her labs, focusing on pre and post results. One of the essential markers we examined is called ferritin – a marker for iron storage. When ferritin levels are elevated due to chronic inflammation, your body's antioxidant capacity is depleted, making it harder for your body to heal and function. In this case, we managed to reduce her ferritin levels from 363 to 106 within ten weeks, enabling her body to heal and function optimally. Addressing RBC and Hematocrit Levels We also checked her RBC and hematocrit levels, which returned to a normal range after our intervention. Furthermore, we thoroughly examined her thyroid panel, focusing on reverse T3 levels. Understanding Reverse T3 and Its Impact on Health High reverse T3 levels indicate that your body is struggling to function effectively, and it's often linked to stress. After ten weeks, her reverse T3 levels significantly decreased, showing that her body was healing and functioning optimally. Personalized Health Plans: The Key to Hope and Healing This case study demonstrates the power of personalized health plans based on comprehensive lab tests. We might not have all the answers, but we're moving in the right direction, providing hope and the possibility of a healthier life. So, remember, where there is help, there's hope.

Introduction Are you struggling with chronic joint and tendon pain? Do you experience chronic inflammation and discomfort? If so, you are not alone. In this article, we will explore the connection between autoimmune diseases and collagen, shedding light on a complex and often misunderstood aspect of chronic pain. The Prevalence of Autoimmune Diseases Did you know that autoimmune diseases affect more than 23 million individuals in the United States alone? Shockingly, this figure is more than twice the number of individuals diagnosed with cancer. Furthermore, autoimmune diseases are estimated to cost a staggering 100 billion dollars to treat in the United States annually, compared to 57 billion dollars for cancer. Despite this, research funding for autoimmune diseases lags far behind that of cancer, with only 591 million dollars allocated for autoimmune disease research, compared to 61 billion dollars for cancer research. The Connection Between Autoimmune Diseases and Collagen Collagen is a vital component of our body's connective tissues, found in tendons, ligaments, skin, cartilage, bones, blood vessels, and the gut. When our immune system mistakenly attacks collagen, it can result in chronic joint and tendon pain, muscle pain, and inflammation. Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and systemic scleroderma can all target collagen, leading to debilitating symptoms and a reduced quality of life. The Importance of Diagnostic Testing Diagnostic testing is crucial in identifying the underlying autoimmune components of chronic joint and tendon pain. The Array 5 test from Cyrex Labs, for example, checks for autoimmune disease against specific tissues in your body, including 24 different markers. This test provides insights into the extent of your immune system's response and its impact on your overall well-being. In particular, it can identify the presence of antibodies against collagen and other markers associated with joint and tendon-related issues. Embracing a Path to Recovery By gaining a better understanding of the underlying autoimmune components of chronic joint and tendon pain, individuals can seek out tailored treatment options and targeted interventions. Guided programs can provide invaluable support and assistance in your journey towards a pain-free life. With greater awareness, research funding, and improved diagnostic approaches, we can unlock the secrets to a life free from the constraints of chronic pain. Conclusion Chronic joint and tendon pain can be challenging to manage and reduce, but by unraveling the complexities of autoimmune diseases targeting collagen, we can empower individuals to seek out tailored treatment options and achieve a better quality of life. Remember, you are not alone in this journey towards healing. Together, we can promote well-being and unlock the secrets to a pain-free life.

Video outline: Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? There's a supplement that could significantly improve your quality of life: Magnesium l-threonate. This particular type of magnesium is unique in that it's able to cross the blood-brain barrier and promote relaxation in the brain by increasing the production of GABA, a calming hormone. By calming the brain, this supplement can ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Magnesium l-threonate is a powerful form of magnesium that is far more effective than other forms of magnesium, such as magnesium malate, magnesium glycinate, or magnesium citrate, which can't cross the blood-brain barrier. Considering magnesium citrate vs glycinate? In the case of depression or anxiety, the answer is neither! Magnesium l-thronate is the way to go.
