Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Treatment

The generalized view that there is no definitive treatment for Thyroid gland disorders, as for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (Disease), is wrong.

The usual administration of pharmaceutical preparations, has as a main purpose, to provide the body with the hormones it lacks, which it can no longer produce. This is achieved by administering synthetic thyroid hormones for decades now. In clinical practice, however, the patient is constantly deregulated. The change in the dosage of its hormones, is constantly required to treat his/her symptoms.

In addition, this cycle is infinite, with unfavorable results in everyday life, resulting to the burden of health and psychology of patients, who do not see their health levels being restored.

The key to a successful therapeutic approach is to find the causes.

Patients do not change their everyday life. Instead, they gradually see it getting improved, along with their overall physical health.

– Without “special diets” and deprivation

– Without taking chemical and pharmaceutical substances

– Treatments that act individually or combined, without side effects

By blood sampling, tests are carried out by specialised Molecular Biopathological Laboratories. In this way, we can detect the factors that caused the disease (Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis) at a cellular level.

The total duration of the first visit is about one and a half hour and includes a specialized multi-page Personal Medical History, for all the body’s systems – Head to Toe, as well as patient’s nutritional habits and preferences.

After the neccessary biochemical, hormonal or specialized metabolic tests, any malfunctions are detected and all possible deficiencies are found.

The combination of regimens to regulate the Thyroid gland’s function at its ideal levels may include:

Micro-Macronutrients Treatments

Molecular Nutrition

Hormonal Replacement Therapy with Bioidentical Hormones.

Therapies are personalized, determined by algorithms in relation to laboratory findings, thorough individual history, lesions, and the existence of additional Chronic or other Diseases.

These specific therapies have been used in clinical practice since 1997, starting from the United States of America. They do not contradict with any parallel pharmaceutical or homeopathic treatment.

The appropriate treatment and nutrition is the one that ultimately results in the greatest benefit, according to the clinical results and the relevant test scores.

Hypothyroidism – Treatment

The general view that there is no permanent treatment for the thyroid gland is false.

The usual administration of pharmaceutical products aims mainly at providing to the organism its missing hormones. That the organism cannot produce anymore. This is achieved through the administration of synthetic thyroid hormones for many decades. However, in clinical practice, the patient is constantly deregulated. It is all the time necessary to change the dose of hormones in order to treat the symptoms. Moreover, this cycle is perpetual, with unfavorable results, both in everyday life and in term of health and psychological burden of patients, who do not see their health being restored again.

A blood sample is collected during the first appointment, and it is sent to our collaborating specialized microbiology laboratories, thus we can identify the factors and the causes of the Disease. The total duration of the first visit is about one and a half hours, and it includes a special multi-page Personal Medical History, while your eating habits and preferences are also discussed.

Following biochemical, hormonal or specialized metabolic exams, dysfunctions are detected, as well as any deficiencies.

The combination of treatment regimens to regulate thyroid gland’s function at optimal levels may include:

Micro-Macronutrients treatments

Molecular nutrition and

Hormonal Replacement Therapies with Biomimetic Hormones only.

 

Treatments are specified based on algorithms related to laboratory findings, the detailed personal medical history, the lesions and the presence of additional chronic or other diseases, and they are strictly individualized.

 

Patients should not change their everyday life. To the contrary, they see their health improving gradually, together with their overall physical condition.

These therapies are systematically used in clinical practice since 1997, and the country of departure was the United States of America. They are notcontradictory to any other concurrent pharmaceutical or homeopathic treatment.

The appropriate treatment is that which ultimately provides the best possible benefit, according to the clinical outcomes and the relevant exam markers.

Hyperthyroidism – Treatment

Up until now, hyperthyroidism is managed with various treatments that include antithyroid drugs, such as methimazole, carbimazole, or propylthiouracil, which inhibit thyroid functioning. They cause side effects, including rash, hair loss, vertigo, aplastic anemia, lupus-like syndrome and hepatitis. Furthermore, treatments that involve taking radioactive iodine isotopes (131I) affect the patient due to the radiation, while the patient should then receive for life replacement therapy. Finally, total or partial surgical excision of the thyroid gland is also suggested in many cases.

These therapeutic methods that are being used for many decades against Hyperthyroidism, are mainly used in order to eliminate the symptoms, but not the causes that led to thyroid gland deregulation.

Patients remain patients and they are in constant suffering, due to their health’s imbalance. The result of the non-causal and non-permanent treatment of their problem is the psychological and financial burden for life. Everyday life changes significantly. Symptoms usually reappear. Their focus is constantly on their diet and on ways to maintain their fragile health in good status.

Hyperthyroidism can be treated

Thyroid gland’s biochemical and functional restoration, so that hormonal production returns to normal levels, is a permanent treatment. Its duration is from six to eighteen months.

Mean duration changes according to the causes that led to biochemical aberration (the disease), as well as patient’s overall status and habits.

The combination of Micro-Μacro Nutrients therapeutic protocols with Molecular nutrition and a heavy metals removal program is often required.

Treatments aim at cellular restoration, and biochemical balance of cells, through the gradual correction of chronic deficiencies with micronutrients.

Furthermore, neurotransmitters are fixed and hormonal balance is restored using Biomimetic hormones only. Additional guidance is provided for exercise and nutrition during this period.

Molecular nutrition includes anti-inflammatory foods, rich in nutrients, with low contents in carbohydrates and gluten.

At the same time, treatment of the Permeable Bowel Syndrome is achieved, all infections are managed, and the immune system is strengthened.

Finally, the treatment applied to remove heavy metals or other chemical compounds, which have been identified through the exams as the causes of Hyperthyroidism, lasts three weeks and its results are amazing.

Therapeutic approaches

We need to be careful and be checked when the onset of symptomatology starts after the middle age, and it is sudden. Also, when it is progressively worsening, when it causes night-time awakening and in cases where it is accompanied by anorexia, weight loss, fever and loss of blood in the stools. We also need to be careful when diarrhea is not painful but also when there are suspicions of malabsorption. Still, if there is a medical diagnosis of IBS, any new symptom should lead to our doctor.

Usually, the treatment focuses on limiting symptomatology and psychological support is used, as well as dietary measures and medication. There are several medications that help relieve the symptoms of IBS. Commonly, spasmolytics (eg pinaverium / dicetel) are used, but others are also used, such as anticholinergics (eg hyoscyamine / buscopan), antidiarrheals (eg loperamide / Imodium), tricyclic antidepressants (eg amitriptyline (Eg, diazepam / Valium), prokinetics (eg metoclopramide / Primperan), laxatives increasing the amount of stools (eg paraffin liquid / Nujol), serotonin receptor antagonists Paroxetine / Seroxat), receptor agonists (e.g., tegaserod / Zelnorm), rifaximin (e.g., Lormyx).

Nonetheless, these specific treatments, although widely used for years, aim primarily at reducing the symptoms of the disease rather than finding its cause and actually dealing with irritable bowel syndrome.

Thus, patients suffer from repeated relapses and recurrence of symptoms, which also affects them psychologically.

 

 

Nutritional Treatment

Regarding to dietary management of the disease, it is recommended to drink an adequate amount of water (2-3 liters a day), avoid caffeine, reduce over-excitement and the exacerbate of symptoms. It is also good to avoid legumes because they cause “bloating”.

Lactose, fructose or other saccharides should be restricted or avoided in patients with known sensitivity. There are preparations in pharmacies that are not drugs and help. Flax fiber preparations, which are recommended for both constipation and diarrhea, are of great importance. There are also formulations of probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are living microorganisms similar to those of the gut and help balance the intestinal flora. Prebiotics are substances that help develop and maintain the existing intestinal flora. Studies on the IBS typically involve probiotics. It appears that probiotics modify the intestinal flora and affect its interaction with food components and the immune system, while improving general symptomatology and especially flatulence.

Given that IBS patients are a group that have multiple combinations of symptomatology and that microbial flora has excellent human to human variability, setting criteria for choosing the right probiotic formulation is difficult. Here, a pharmacist plays a very important role, who in close and frequent relationship with the patient can help identify the most effective probiotic.

 

 

Cellular, Molecular Therapeutic Treatment

However, because there are many conditions that affect our hormone levels, it is necessary to look at cell biochemistry through specific biochemical, hormonal and metabolic examinations, as these fluctuations affect the onset and exacerbation of irritable bowel symptoms. Therefore balancing the imbalances is necessary for the recession or even the complete disappearance of the symptoms.

With personalized medical treatments and protocols, we can intervene and personalize each type of deficiency and remove the toxic load.

With this methodology, we are basically restoring Health in a cellular level and restore the body’s ability to produce high-quality combustion necessary for Life.

 

The Medical Protocols that are administered adjust the amounts, doses and type of components that change from person to person (actual personalization), as opposed to 50,100 or 500mg identical dosing approaches for all.

The clinical results of the use of such Medical Protocols over the last 20 years are more than satisfactory, with rates of improvement and re-regulation of the body of over 80%. Patients undergoing treatment for Functional Medicine see the quality of their daily routine change. Their quality of life is improving. Along with treatment, their mental and physical resources are increasing.

How can I lower Cholesterol without drugs?

There is no such thing as “good” and “bad” Cholesterol.

Cholesterol is one thing, and it has its “carriers”, i.e. Lipoproteins (fat and proteins). Simply because Cholesterol is insoluble to water, it uses the “submarines”, Lipoproteins, to be transferred to the cells.

The current approach to keep Cholesterol production at ideal levels requires:

No strict diets, which deprive our organism from valuable nutrients and are a trouble for patients.

The organism should not be burdened with chemical and toxic compounds, so that to avoid any risks or side effects and adverse events. Among these, hepatic toxicity, energy loss and physical decline, muscle rhabdomyolysis, depression and many others are included.

No changes should be present in terms of cellular balance and hormonal functions. To the contrary, the ideal cellular state should be regulated, according to the causes (targeted therapy).

At the same time, all the organism’s individual imbalances should be identified and treated as a whole. These are the actual risks for heart attacks, hypertension, strokes, cardiac diseases and Metabolic Syndrome.

Following biochemical, hormonal, or specialized metabolic exams, dysfunctions as well as any deficiencies present are identified. Most of these exams are affordable and the results are ready within two to three days. The combination of treatment regimens to regulate Cholesterol at the ideal levels may include:

Micro-Macronutrients Treatments

Molecular nutrition and

Hormonal Replacement Therapies with Biomimetic Hormones.

Everything is determined in accordance to the laboratory findings, the detailed personal medical history, the lesions and the presence of additional chronic or other diseases.

Patients should not change their everyday life. To the contrary, they see their health improving gradually, together with their overall physical state.

These therapies are systematically used in clinical practice since 1997, and the country of departure was the United States of America. They are not contradictory to any other concurrent pharmaceutical or homeopathic treatment.

The appropriate treatment is that which ultimately provides the best possible benefit, according to the clinical outcomes and the relevant exam markers.

Cellular Therapeutic Approach

The main causes of Autoimmune Disease concern the reduced production or deficiency of enzymes, hormones and other basic elements of burning the human organism.

All of these Insufficiencies, Malfunctions, bad burns lead to biochemical diversion, mechanisms and function of all human tissue and organ cells

Our cells are the smallest units of life, cell groups create the tissues and organs of our body. Their overall biochemical and hormonal balance, homeostasis, is directly related to our state of health. Body homeostasis and metabolic pathways depend on the absorption and absorption of food, as well as on toxic compounds that enter our body.

Psoriasis as an autoimmune disease can be treated, where specialized examinations are used to understand the imbalances that exist in the body and that synergistically lead to the disorganization of the immune system and ultimately to the onset of the disease.

In this way, it is possible to apply an individualized regimen without causing stressful cellular conditions, thus reaching homeostasis at cellular and hormonal level and thus controlling the disease.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) – Diagnosis and Treatment

It is essential to identify and carefully detect all disturbances that have occurred in all the seven systems of the organism among people suffering from the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Patients should be monitored through Special Exams.

Bio 4h type exams are essential.

Moreover, exams at cellular level, performed simply through the collection of a blood sample that is sent abroad.

The results of the exams determine the Treatment Regimen for the patient, with a mean duration of three to twelve months.

In cases that there are no other Pathological conditions, the patient that thought s/he was healthy, returns to normal biochemical levels. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and tiredness disappear, the levels of energy are high again, and s/he can face everyday life adequately.

Therapeutic Protocols for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome include Molecular nutrition, Biomimetic Hormones administration and Restoration of any deficiency, at cellular level, helping Adrenal glands to return to restore normal functioning.

Hypertension and Treatment

Thus, one can understand that to solve the problem of the so-called “silent killer”, Hypertension, s/he should solve the problem of Chronic Inflammation.

On the other hand, what is now clear is that we should investigate further our therapeutic approach for Arterial Hypertension.

Micronutrients protocols, according to the American Standards, are differentiated for this Chronic Disease, as well as according to a large number of other factors.

Thus, dosage, duration, quantity and combination of ingredients (formula) are determined on an individual basis for each person.

Biochemical aberration at the functional level in the organism of patients with Hypertension, can be restored. Following the appropriate biochemical and metabolic exams, dysfunctions are detected and existing deficiencies are identified.

There are many exams available to ultimately determine treatment, depending on the patient’s Medical History. The cost of most of them is affordable and the results are ready within two to three days.

Treatment is adjusted depending on the extent of the lesions and the individual findings. It may last from three months to one year to fully restore the patient’s clinical image.

Patients should not change their everyday life. To the contrary, they see their health improving gradually, together with their overall physical condition.

These therapies are systematically used in clinical practice since 1997, and the country of departure was the United States of America. They are not contradictory to any other concurrent pharmaceutical or homeopathic treatment.

The appropriate treatment is that which ultimately provides the best possible benefit, according to the clinical outcomes and the relevant exam markers.

Autism

Treatment through a simple biochemical means gets closer to the causal treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders – ASD.

Based on this self-evident approach of the Functional Medicine system, the child or adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder – ASD is treated aiming at restoring or strengthening biochemical and hormonal balance, depending on the aberration that will be identified.

With the gradual increase of energy production at the cellular level, i.e. increasing response to stimuli, we strengthen all metabolic pathways and mechanisms, as well as the production of hormones, so that the individual can be at its optimal physical state and respond maximally to external stimuli.

For Autism Spectrum Disorders – ASD, the essential exams concern the molecular profile for heavy metals, test of toxicosis from organic solvents, and full hormonal profile.

In addition, an exam for the main gene polymorphisms is also performed.

Treatment may also include Molecular nutrition. The duration of treatment, aiming at improving responses at the social, language and communication levels, is from six to twelve months.

Diabetes Mellitus

Treatment Protocols with Micronutrients – Regimens

Biochemical aberration at the level of organism’s functioning can be measured through the relevant biochemical or metabolic exams. There is a large number of exams and tests available according to the Medical History to ultimately determine the treatment regimen. The cost of most exams is affordable. The results are ready within two to three days.

Micronutrient protocols, according to the American Standards, strictly define the dosage, duration, quantity and combination of ingredients (formula) per person.

Depending on the extent of the lesions and the individual findings treatment may last from six to eighteen months to fully restore the patient’s clinical picture.

 

Treatment Protocols with Biomimetic Hormones

The wide popularity of biomimetic (bioidentical) hormones is due to the fact that they are natural, thus our body can metabolize them similarly to its own hormones, without any side effects.

Biomimetic Hormones bind (“snap”) on our hormonal receptors, exactly as the key fits into its lock, providing a direct effect, as opposed to the traditional hormone replacement therapy, where synthetic hormones are poured over hormonal receptors, but also on other steroid receptors, and finally their effect is both non direct, but also a lot of side effects may occur.

Patients see their everyday life improving gradually, together with their overall physical condition.

These therapies are systematically used in clinical practice since 1997, and the country of departure was the United States of America. They are not contradictory to any other concurrent pharmaceutical or homeopathic treatment.

The appropriate treatment is that which ultimately provides the best possible benefit, according to the clinical outcomes and the relevant exam markers.

Obesity and Overweight – Treatment

Scientific data that have been documented and approach the topic of Chronic

Metabolic Diseases and Obesity from a causal point of view, guide us to manage individually and as a group the following:

The organism’s ability to Burn and Metabolize Fat

Brain’s functioning

Hormonal Balance of the organism, in every system

Proper Biochemical composition of the cell, so that to manage successfully

Reduction or Elimination of Toxicity

Inadequacy or deficiency of micro-nutrients.

 

The human body has evolved within millions of years according to certain specifications. Temperature limits, as well as its needs in oxygen, water, nutrients, trace elements, minerals, and vitamins were specified. When some of these specifications vary, the human body is not very tolerant.

Overall burden has influenced significantly human physiology and cell’s biochemical balance. Instead of attempting to restore what’s normal through our methods, i.e. the specifications according to which we have been created to function, we further burden ourselves with charlatanism and futuristic methods.

It’s not a coincidence that 40 years ago, only the wealthier social classes were portly, but nowadays it’s the exact opposite. Obesity and extra weight appear on the less wealthy social classes.

Proper management includes specialized markers, through specific exams that determine the real causes of the accumulation of extra weight.

In addition, before administering any type of treatment, all environmental factors are taken into account, as well as the lifestyle of each patient.

Obesity and Overweight are chronic conditions, which may underlie for a long time before its manifestation, therefore long-term management is required.

Diets that last for ten days won’t solve the problem, neither the insufficiency that caused it.

The duration of treatment regimes administered for the treatment of Overweight individuals is six months, while for Obese individuals eighteen months.

Therapeutic protocols include, depending on the laboratory findings and the overall clinical picture, micro-macro- nutrients treatments, Natural (Biomimetic) hormones Protocols, and Molecular nutrition.

Patients are gradually losing weight, but they are not feeling hungry or a lack of energy.

Molecular Diet:

What is it and who it is targeted for?

Molecular Nutrition is a special nutritional platform, which results from specialized medical examinations, which show the precise metabolic profile of each individual. Based on this particularity, Molecular Nutrition is a diet that does not contain specific and same foods for everyone. Instead, based on the findings of individual tests and in collaboration with the scientific team composed of  Doctors , Biologists and Molecular Nutritionists, a special dietary plan is formulated, different for each individual. In this plan, therefore, different foods are proposed for each individual, aiming at supplementing cellular deficiencies, which are the main causes for the increase in unnecessary weight. Also, special treatment is proposed for potential cellular deficiencies in Micronutrients.

The philosophy of Molecular Nutrition follows the physical specifications of the human body and its metabolic processes, which take place inside the cells. More specifically, the organism immediately after eating food performs a complicated process of converting it into biofuels, which is used to produce energy. However, the “fuel” that every body needs is not stable. On the contrary, it varies and depends on the particular needs of each body.

Therefore, the nutritional plan of the Molecular Nutrition arises and is structured on the basis of the individual’s individual specificity. This very specific targeting of Molecular Nutrition is also the recipe for its success as it is based on the fact that every food platform, as it has emerged from each person’s special tests and needs, is the basis for a gradual reduction and definitive discharge of excess weight .

The success of Molecular Nutrition is therefore that for every nutritional platform it proposes, it also builds strong foundation for the creation of healthy cells capable of optimal combustion for maximum and stable energy production.

Contrary to diets of the past, which did not target the metabolic profile of each patient and failed to suggest optimal amounts of food for the ideal intake of vitamins, minerals and trace elements per person.

It is easy to understand is that the building blocks that the organism needs in order to function properly and efficiently are very specific with the help of modern know-how, any deficiency of which can be ascertained and restored. Any deviation in obtaining these structural elements may lead to a metabolic dysfunction, which in turn incriminates for deviation from the normal weight of the individual and the permanent installation of unnecessary weight.

 

With which examinations is the Molecular profile of each individual formed?

The exploration of the individual’s metabolic pathways results from specialized metabolic examinations, which investigate and accurately measure throughout the Krebs cycle exactly what does not function properly at the cellular and biochemical level. Once the exact causes of metabolic dysfunction have been established, only then the individual is eligible for proper nutritional intervention. The nutritional program proposed by Molecular Nutrition therefore seeks and gradually achieves the restoration of all parameters, which contribute to the optimal metabolic function of the organism. Thus, based on the Molecular Nutrition and given that the body functions as a combustion engine, intake of the right food, the ideal quantity for each individual and the intake of all the micronutrients required, leads to correct and complete burns of the cell, without this, in return, to lead to accumulation of unnecessary fat (biofuel energy, which for some reason the body does not consume).

The simple assumption that a person’s weight is determined by taking fewer calories than is necessary is extremely wrong, unscientific and practically, people who consume few calories continue to gain weight despite any attempt to reduce the amount of food or exercise.

 

Why build your own Molecular Nutrition Platform

Given that Molecular Nutrition schemes are developed individually, due to specialized examinations, the individual loses weight constantly while his/her energy levels increase .

There is no feeling of hunger.

They do not necessarily change eating habits.

The results are stable and become permanent over time.

Molecular Nutrition aims at achieving cell homeostasis, in proper biochemical balance, with concurrent results on our optimal health.

Along with Molecular Nutrition, the individual “prevents” the appearance of Chronic, Autoimmune and Other Metabolic Diseases, resulting from cellular dysfunctions. Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional cuisine of the countries around the Mediterranean and in foods such as fruits, fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil. Although this particular is considered one of the healthiest and most traditional ways of eating, it does not have a specific plan to deal with emergency situations. The Mediterranean diet until 70-80 years ago when the natural environment was not altered did indeed keep people fit. In recent years, only at the level of the name but not at the level of the outcome, one could say that this diet is only used as a successful diet of another age and statistically if and then followed, it ultimately does not help to reduce obesity and lose weight.

 

Menopause and Sex Hormones

Our sex hormones register directly to genes, which “turn on and off” like switches according to the hormonal directives, determined and in accordance to our environmental needs.

Our sex hormones determine which genes are “turned on”, i.e. expressed, and which ones are “turned off”, i.e. silenced, in the nucleus of our body’s cells.

Estrogens, Progesterone, Cortisol, Testosterone, Insulin, Prolactin, and Melatonin, reach all the way down into the nucleus of every cell in every organ in your body to hit “promoter regions” and “response elements” of our genes, constantly organizing and controlling everything in our lives.

Our hormones are not only responsible for thinking, behaving, and reacting to what happens around us, so that to increase our chances for Survival, but they also take us much further. So that we can evolve, and actually multiply.

Without a regular ovulation, which must be stimulated by particularly high levels of estrogens (estradiol), and without progesterone that follows ovulation, the regulatory genes involved, and leading to Cancers, Cardiovascular diseases, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementias, Chronic and Autoimmune Diseases, are left “deranged” and uncontrolled.

The particular experience each woman will have from this deregulation process will include the appearance (expression) of any inherited condition existing in her genetic material.

In other words, when our sex hormones fall off significantly, Cellular Death begins.

The disease that will get to us depends on our personal, family threshold of Entropy.

Will the heart, breast, endometrium, ovaries, pancreas (sugar) become ill first?

Treatment management of Andropause (Hypogonadism)

Following specific exams for Andropause, including the Bio 4h hormonal profile, hormonal status is detected, and special needs of each individual are identified.

The cost of the exams is affordable and the results are ready with two to three days.

Treatment of Andropause is achieved through the restoration of testosterone levels with Biomimetic testosterone, usually in the form of cream.

Biomimetic testosterone administered during Andropause is extracted from natural ingredients, which are then converted to the natural hormone of a young man.

Restoration using Biomimetic hormones is also based on the restoration of all male hormones levels, DHEA in particular.

Patients should not change their everyday life. To the contrary, they see their health improving gradually, together with their overall physical condition.

Your Hormones and Cancer

Estrogens grow Life and Progesterone improves and stabilizes Life.

 

These two hormones always act in tandem to control cell growth, aiming at normal functioning.

Cancer researchers call progesterone’s end of jobs Apoptosis.

They are using, once again, a word of our wonderful language.

The word Apoptosis in our language means Falling away from Life.

In science it means “Programmed Cell Death”.

When this happens, the cell is shrinking, and so is chromatin (DNA) of its nucleus, the mitochondrial membrane breaks, the cell is deconstructed and dissolves into pieces, which are phagocytosed.

Progesterone, during the process of Apoptosis, is in charge to control and balance the right amount, the Rhythm of Cellular Death, so that to keep things Living.

Anything alive must grow and die, within the framework of its own Life.

All our cells, bone cells, muscle cells, blood cells, or even brain cells begin in an embryonic form, mature, and die. All in a matter of days, and then the process of Life starts again.

As long as we have our hormones at the appropriate levels, to regulate the proper Rhythm.

Science has proven than no Higher Organism can grow in a healthy way unless they are Time-Controlled and Differentiated towards a Purpose.

So, what we call Cancer is the Unregulated, Uncontrolled cell growth.

Cancer cells not only proliferate and multiply without ever going beyond the embryonic state, but they can even go further backwards.

Cancer cells can actually be Undifferentiated (i.e. not specific cells of a specific tissue).

The reversal to the oneness of Life in the Universe, along with the unstoppable growth, are characteristic properties of Cancer.

Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis

Conventional treatments so far are not effective in fighting the causes of MS.

The therapeutic regimens applied in classical medicine are based on the reduction of the severity of the symptoms of the disease or the slowing of its progression. Also, continuous and long-term administration of chemical formulations leads to undesirable side effects.

 

Microparticle Therapies

The Western diet based on increased saturated fat and manufactured products has been accused of participating in the aetiology of MS.

From analyses of patients’ plasma lipids, a decrease in the percentage of linoleic and arachidonic acid was found, with a compensatory increase in saturated fat, where some researchers have linked them to the aetiology of myelinary damage.

There is indication that vitamin D may be a natural inhibitor of MS. As Dr. Gock explains, “vitamin D” pushes the immune system’s T-cells, which are directed against the body’s own nervous cells, to remain in the bloodstream rather than end up in the central nervous system. ”

 

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient, essential for myelin production. In addition, recent studies suggest that B12 has significant immunological and neurotrophic effects. Vitamin B12 deficiency and abnormalities in its metabolization are recognized as causes of CNS demyelination, so its inadequacy would be expected to contribute to the progress of MS.

Antioxidant elements are the natural protection of the organism against free radicals, which as unstable oxygen molecules, build up circuits in the cells and destroy the genetic material resulting in the destruction of the nerve tissues.

Numerous studies that have been conducted on the effect of diet with increased Essential Fatty Acids (eg omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have shown beneficial effects, both in severity and duration of relapses, and in the course of the disease, especially in patients in early stages of MS.

In patients with MS, significant low selenium (Se) levels and decreased activity of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) have been found at times. Following a study in which patients received high doses of Se and vitamin E for five weeks, GSH-Rx levels of activity increased five times, while selenium increased by 24%.

According to a Harvard University study published in the journal Nature Medicine, the amino acid tryptophan appears to play a regulatory role in the levels of inflammation produced in the brain and the central nervous system.

Numerous research, studies, and essays focus on the lack of nutritional micro-elements as a cause for the disease.

Following specialized examinations, which can show us all the deficiencies of the body, we administer Medical Personalized Microparticle Protocols with the purpose of handling the causes that cause Multiple Sclerosis.

The effects of such therapies are excellent, with a gradual recovery of each morbidity.

 

Gene Therapy

Management of the disease genetically may not be highly developed as a treatment but is a definitive solution to the problem.

It requires translation of about 30,000 genes which are tested exclusively in America, and it takes approximately three months to determine the final treatment.

Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

Based on the fact that the disease is characterized by a dopaminergic deficit, the basic treatment is that of dopamine substitution in one way or another, either by administering its precursor, levodopa, or by acting directly on dopamine receptors with substances that mimic its action, dopamine particles, or by blocking the dopamine metabolism by the enzymes MAO and COMT. Although these treatments are not so effective, they only treat a spectrum of disease, kinetic manifestations at the limbs, they do not reverse the evolving neurodegeneration, and over time lead to significant side effects which, to a large extent, appear to be related to the abnormal way of dopamine administration.

For this reason, it is necessary to develop and improve modern therapies for the effective treatment of the disease.

How will this happen? Therapies should strike the disease at its root, that is, it should target the underlying causes of the disease.

In particular, it is necessary to examine the biochemistry of the cell through a series of biochemical, hormonal and metabolic tests to find the cause of the disease and by appropriate treatment to balance hormones and treat the disease.

Thus, patients will cease suffering with sustained relapses but also with side effects of medicines given by doctors.

 

Gene treatment

Gene therapy is not developed in a great extent as a treatment, but it is a definitive solution to the problem.

It requires translating of 30,000 genes, taken place exclusively in America and it takes around three months to determine the final treatment.
