While our clinic sees 100s of mold toxicity cases per year, sometimes it helps to hear something from others besides a slew of nameless reports (nameless due to privacy) and to hear from someone publicly describing their symptoms. In recent months, Steve Locke, once a head of Olympic organizations, has been fighting a legal battle…
Treating autism spectrum disorder as early as possible requires an early diagnosis which current medicine struggles to provide, but a new computer tool offers an opportunity to improve, not to mention helping to differentiate ASD and ADHD, as is also necessary. Researchers from the Kennedy Kieger Institute and Nottingham Trent University developed CAMI (Computerized Assessment…
Searching for the root causes of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease requires a researcher to keep an open mind, including the possibility that a virus could be behind such disabling diseases. Researchers suspect from recent studies that head trauma could be waking up viruses like herpes simplex type 1 and varicella zoster (chickenpox…
We continued to feel a deep sigh within us when we hear the word COVID in just about any context, but hearing it connected with our children provokes an even deeper frustration with 2020’s ongoing gift to the world. In this study, British researchers aimed to pin down better statistics on how Long COVID was…
With self-driving cars and internet sites writing articles, Artificial Intelligence would seem to be the present hope for a glorious future upon planet earth. Yet, with self-driving cars still accident-prone and a slew of ridiculous AI-generated articles, maybe we should pause and ponder whether allowing AI to guide our health journey is wise. Maybe, just…
Caring for patients with mold toxicity can be a challenging task as we have to not only care for their bodies, but their environment as well. In caring for their bodies and the symptoms they are experiencing, we have to turn down inflammation, remove toxins, restore function that has been lost and more. These steps…
Clinicians should take note that long term use of the stimulant medications commonly prescribed for ADHD can increase the risk of cardiomyopathy. While the individual odds only increase slightly for a given child after 10 years on these meds, multiplying this rate over the millions of children placed on these drugs across the nation could…
In medical science, we often know something is wrong before we know what that something actually is. With fibromyalgia, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, the notion that inflammation and our immune systems played a role in this debilitating disease has long been present, at least in those suffering from it. Thankfully, over recent years, more…
(As part of a good medicine series interspersed in our usual blogs, these blogs explain how your provider handles your care with more than just what facts they know.) One of the last things I want to diagnose someone with is mold toxicity- unless they really have it. Just like a brain surgeon who wants…
We are complex organisms, affected by the interplay between our exposome and our nutritional status in light of our genetics. Children with autism don’t appear by random chance, like a number drawn out of a hat, but as a result of their genetics interacting with what enters their bodies whether for good or for bad.…
