Episode #195: Heavily Metalled with Shari Guess

1/22/2024
Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about heavy metals, metal allergy, and Type IV delayed hypersensitivity responses. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Shari Guess. Shari Guess almost died from severe allergies due to metal hypersensitivity after a litany of orthopedic surgeries, all performed within a few short years, which implanted a large amount of metal and dental hardware in her body. At the time she got sick, she was working as a full-time realtor and attending college, studying pre-med, hoping to eventually become a Physician’s Assistant. After being bedridden for nearly 3 years and feverishly researching everything she could to help find out the cause of her severe systemic symptoms, she had a lucky break in the case and was able to connect the dots with all of her symptoms. Suddenly everything made sense! Shari has undergone numerous surgeries to date to remove and revise hardware. These surgeries have restored her to near-full health as the symptoms related to her metal allergies began to subside by leaps and bounds immediately following the procedures. While in the thick of her illness, due to a compromised immune system, she also acquired Lyme Disease, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and several other autoimmune diseases. Shari is blessed to have been able to put almost all of that behind her, experiencing near complete relief from the symptoms of Lyme and co-infections after LymeStop treatment in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, along with the restoration of her immune system through the removal of the metals and implementing limbic system retraining. Key Takeaways: - What is a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction? - What is the difference between a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to heavy metals and a mast cell reaction? - Is there an overlap between metal hypersensitivity and autoimmunity? - What role do medical implants play in triggering metal hypersensitivity? - Can IUDs or hernia mesh trigger type IV hypersensitivity reactions? - Might metal allergy play a role in Stiff Person Syndrome? - Should titanium dioxide in supplements be avoided? - Might heavy metals lead to EMF hypersensitivity or EHS? - Is gadolinium toxigenic or immunogenic or both? - What is MELISA testing? - What is patch testing? - Can detoxification of heavy metals be done too aggressively? - Is there a place for immune modulation in dealing with metal allergy? - How might tools like LDN, LDA, or LDI be helpful? - What is the role of the low nickel diet in metal allergy?

Episode #193: Actinos as a Root Cause of CIRS with Dr. Eric Dorninger, ND, LAc

12/12/2023
Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the root causes of CIRS including Actinos and endotoxins. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Eric Dorninger. Eric Dorninger ND, LAc is a Registered Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist. He graduated from Bastyr University, the leading accredited university for science-based natural medicine. Prior to medical school, he received his B.A. in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1997. During this time he also finished his E.M.T. (Emergency Medical Technician) training and volunteered at Porter Care Hospice in Denver. This dual exposure of medical perspectives laid down the roots for Dr. Dorninger’s integrated approach to diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Following undergrad, Dr. Dorninger served as an EMT for the Cranford First Aid Squad in Cranford, NJ. He then completed his doctorate in naturopathic medicine and his master’s degree in acupuncture at Bastyr University in 2003, after which he returned to Boulder, Colorado to complete a 2-year residency in naturopathic primary care. In 2005, Dr. Dorninger founded Roots and Branches Integrative Health Care, a clinic dedicated to “Mystery Illness” where he focuses on elucidating the underlying causes of unrelenting chronic illness. Dr. Dorninger is not concerned with what you have as much as he is with why you have it. He has dedicated his professional life to a deeper understanding of differential diagnosis based in the tradition of “Remove Obstacles to Cure.” After the 2013 floods in Boulder, Dr. Dorninger noticed that patients who were initially getting better suddenly regressed. Moreover, patients he was struggling to diagnose got worse. Fortunately, he was guided to the honest, data-driven, peer-reviewed, reproducible published work of Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker on mold and biotoxin illness. In 2014 Dr. Dorninger signed on for his Shoemaker certification training. Dr. Dorninger is a certified Shoemaker practitioner and remains true to the Shoemaker protocol. According to Dorninger, diagnosing underlying causes and facilitating accurate treatment plans is a grind. At Roots and Branches, we embrace the grind. In addition to private practice, Dr. Dorninger teaches functional medicine for Apex Energetics, practices Jiu-Jitsu, skis, and enjoys watching his biotoxin-genetically susceptible kids thrive post chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) treatment.

Alex is a licensed and board-certified Medical Physicist in Radiation Oncology, a scientist with background in physics, mathematics, and biology who has utilized his life experiences to develop an analytical method for quantifying and intervening with intestinal dysbiosis which he believes to be significant in the development and severity of autism and other disease states.

Episode #183: The Iron Curse with Dr. Christy Sutton, DC

4/20/2023
Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about iron dysregulation and hemochromatosis. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Christy Sutton. Christy Sutton, DC's interests in asking why health problems occur, what the root causes are, and what are the safest and most effective solutions to health problems are the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her personal health struggles, and her desperation to find answers to her own serious health problems surrounding Crohn’s and Celiac disease have led her down the alternative healthcare path and to look for ways to find and avoid genetic landmines. Her first book "Genetic Testing: Defining Your Path to a Personalized Health Plan" and its corresponding "Genetic Detoxification" report were the precursors to creating the Labrogenomics educational webinars and to writing her upcoming book "The Iron Curse". Her book "The Iron Curse", inspired by diagnosing her husband and many patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-related health problems, takes a deep dive into hemochromatosis and other iron-related disorders. Her husband's hemochromatosis led to liver problems and likely led to the development of a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing's syndrome. From her experience as a clinician, she has discovered that there is an epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and this epidemic is being driven by myths, misperceptions, and a failure on the part of the medical community that should be diagnosing people with hemochromatosis; a disease that is easy to screen for, prevent, diagnose, and treat. "The Iron Curse" course and upcoming book are powerful tools for ending the epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and they give people the information they need to diagnose, prevent, and correct iron-induced damage.
