2. Complex Health - It’s been said to take upwards of seventeen years to get medical insight from bench to bedside, meaning to move our learning gleaned in the research lab to the interventions we recommend for an individual patient’s treatment plan. In this section of our Science Library, we present some of the modern thinking about some of these complex neuroimmune conditions (mast cell activation, small fiber neuropathy, dysautonomias like POTS, Ehlers Danlos Syndromes and other pain conditions, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, and others). This section also documents the scientific backing for interventions our clinic offers including plasmapheresis, stem cell therapy, vagal nerve stimulators and other treatments.
