Many sinusitis patients don’t have a lingering infection—they have a chronic inflammatory reaction to fungi. This post reviews a key paper on chronic rhinosinusitis, explains the fungal–eosinophilic model, and explores how intranasal Amphotericin B can help reduce inflammation, improve symptoms, and potentially delay or avoid surgery.
Systemic lupus erythematosus does not emerge randomly in patients carrying latent EBV. In this Part 2 of our Systems Homeostasis series, we trace how EBNA2-driven B cell reprogramming, the IFN-I amplification loop, and depleted “circuit breakers” such as IL‑10, Tregs, DNase activity, and antioxidant capacity converge to determine disease expression and treatment response. Clinicians gain a practical framework for reading IFN-I signatures and upstream signal environment data long before full diagnostic criteria are met.
What if “supporting the immune system” isn’t enough? In this thought-provoking episode, a panel of integrative practitioners explores how to move beyond short-term immune support toward lasting immune resilience-the body’s capacity to adapt, recover, and maintain balance through life’s physical and emotional stressors. Join us as we unpack the keyRead
Immune defense can be compared to a sport like baseball. You want to have all the bases covered with nutritional support. Combining a Multivitamin with Immune Support is the perfect double play to defend against all types of immune health challenges. This synergy between foundational micronutrients and powerful botanicals createsRead
As cold and flu season approaches, immune health is top of mind for most patients, But rather than reacting to infection, a proactive protocol centered around diet, lifestyle and science-backed supplements focuses on supporting the body’s defenses and shoring up resilience. “Reactive is the active process of responding to infection,Read
In the course of one year, the U.S. population contracts approximately 1 billion colds.1 Influenza accounts for 20-25 million doctor visits.1 During the fall and winter, patients are at an increased risk. Going back to school can be a stressful time for many children, and the stress can lower theirRead
Seasonal allergies are a significant problem for almost 25 percent of the U.S. population. Current treatment strategies are limited, demanding a more thoughtful approach from clinicians. Research suggests an integrated protocol that focuses on supporting and strengthening immune health with diet, lifestyle and science-backed supplements is a safe and effective strategy for managing seasonal allergies.
Scientists have called the endocannabinoid system one of the “gatekeepers” of the immune system.1 The endocannabinoid system is activated in response to immune challenges like viral or bacterial infections, increasing or decreasing many aspects of immunity.2 Certain endocannabinoids act on most immune cells and endocannabinoid receptors are also present on these cells.2 Read
Spring is a difficult time of year for many patients, due to the onset of seasonal allergies. In my clinical practice, I’ve found that employing a number of strategies can support the health of patients with seasonal allergies as well as allergic conditions such as asthma. In this article, IRead
Maintaining a healthy immune system is critical to supporting a patient’s overall well-being and productivity in daily life. No one likes to be laid low while meeting work deadlines, taking care of the kids, or letting the housework pile up. Especially in elderly patients, immune system challenges can also beRead
