Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) is generating buzz as a potential treatment for a range of conditions, from chronic pain to autoimmune disorders, offering new hope for patients with difficult-to-manage symptoms. While hailed for its symptom relief, some health experts warn that LDN may not tackle the underlying causes of disease. The question remains: Is this affordable, underutilized drug a breakthrough or merely a temporary fix? A Lifeline Linda Elsgood felt unstoppable. A mother of two and full-time bank manager, she balanced work and family with ease. “I was Wonder Woman. I could do anything,” she told The Epoch Times. But when both her parents fell ill, the stress of caregiving began to take its toll. Soon after, Elsgood began experiencing troubling symptoms: numbness in her leg and face, extreme fatigue, and vision issues. In 2000, she was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). By 2003, the disease had progressed to secondary progressive MS, and her doctors informe...

Ivermectin and Fenbendazole in Cancer Care: A Functional Medicine Breakthrough As cancer diagnoses rise globally, the urgency for innovative, effective, and supportive therapies grows stronger. A peer-reviewed study has highlighted a groundbreaking protocol combining ivermectin, fenbendazole, and natural compounds such as Vitamin E, curcumin, and CBD. These elements, when used together, demonstrate significant potential in supporting cancer care.  The Study: A Synergistic Approach to Cancer Care The research reveals the combined effects of ivermectin, fenbendazole, and complementary compounds in addressing cancer at multiple levels. While traditionally known as antiparasitic drugs, ivermectin and fenbendazole, when used together, showed potential to modulate cancer pathways and support the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Key Findings from the Study 1. Immune System Modulation:  The protocol enhanced the immune system’s ability t...

By Chris Centeno, MD - It’s not uncommon that I speak to patients on a Telemedicine evaluation who are convinced that Lyme, mold exposure, COVID, or some other environmental trigger caused their ligaments to degenerate. So what do we know about infections and environmental triggers and ligament health? Let’s dive in. Functional Medicine Diagnoses The purpose of this blog isn’t to get into the extensive controversy over whether chronic Lyme or mold-caused illnesses (CIRS) or any of these other diagnoses are valid. The traditional medical community doesn’t like many of these diagnoses which are staples of the functional medicine community. For my entire career, I have worked with patients who are comfortable being treated in both worlds. My goal with today’s blog is to explore the science behind whether we can draw a connection between these diagnoses and ligament damage. Hence, I will be looking for basic science studies done in the lab or in animal models that tie these two things toge...
