About My Guest: Dr Raj Patel has extensive experience with, various natural therapies including nutritional medicine, homeopathy, herbs and mind-body medicine. Integrating these diverse therapies with allopathic medicine has enabled Dr. Patel to offer a highly refined approach to healthcare that produces lasting results.

Over the years, Dr. Patel has specialized in treating patients with Autistim Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as well as Lyme and other vector-borne diseases.

It is well documented that patients with chronic Lyme disease also suffer from Candidiasis, food sensitivities, accumulation of heavy metals, and hormonal imbalances. With his background in treating these conditions, Dr. Patel has been able to create a comprehensive program for treating those struggling with chronic Lyme disease. He has found incredible success in treating individuals with chronic Lyme disease by combining antimicrobial treatment with heavy metal detoxification, food allergy desensitization and hormonal support. Dr. Patel is an active member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). He has also completed advanced training in pediatric Lyme disease. Dr. Patel first began looking into Dr. Shoemaker's incredible work on chronic inflammation resulting from exposure to water damaged buildings (WDB) in 2010. He found that many of his "Lyme patients" who had experienced only partial improvement, turned out to be simultaneously struggling with toxic exposure to water-damaged buildings. When they began responding dramatically to simply getting out of their home and taking cholestyramine, Dr. Patel's interest was piqued to learn more about Dr. Shoemaker's treatment approach to this illness. Dr. Patel today integrates the findings from Dr. Shoemaker as well as other doctors working with mold illness to see patients making impressive recoveries from this debilitating illness. Key Takeaways: When mold and Lyme are both factors, what is the proper treatment order? What is the impact of HLA-DR in recovery? What do elevated C4a and TGFb1 mean? Is an ERMI helpful for testing your living environment? How is MARCoNS approached? Does VIP help? How is Lyme treatment approached? Is the goal to eradicate every microbe? Is that required to get well? Are parasites an issue in chronic Lyme disease? What works for detoxification? What is UVB therapy and how is it used? How can ozone be helpful?

Episode #19: Cutting Edge Medicine with Dr. Neil Nathan, MD

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about mold illness, cell danger response, mast cell activation, and much more. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan, MD. Dr. Nathan is a Board-Certified Family Physician and a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. From the time he began medical school at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, it has always been his passion to try to help as many of patients as possible. He was never satisfied with sending patients home with the cliché: "Sorry, we just don't have any answers for you." In a career of more than 40 years, he has delivered babies, done surgery, and worked in the emergency room but over the years found other disciplines that held the promise of providing more useful answers for those patients that did not respond adequately to conventional care. Over time, he found himself working mostly with patients who had not received a clear diagnosis from conventional medicine and were suffering with persistent and debilitating illnesses. These included Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme disease with its co-infections, mold illness, Autism, and all varieties of Chronic Pain, amongst others. Dr. Neil Nathan is honored to have been the recipient of the First Annual Rich van Konynenburg Award from the Seeking Health Educational Institute Conference coordinated by Dr. Ben Lynch. Dr. Nathan worked with Dr. Konynenburg in completing research on methylation chemistry in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia which helped to launch the profound increase in interest in this subject on an international level. He is an author with several books available on Amazon.com including "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks", "Healing Is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and his latest "Mold & Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2016" which is a personal favorite. Many of his patients simply cannot take even miniscule doses of herbs, or homeopathic remedies without a profound reaction. While their physicians, who may never have seen such sensitivities, diagnose them as having depression and anxiety, these reactions are not psychogenic, but physical. He continues to develop new strategies and treatments to help these patients recover their health. Key Takeaways: What tests are useful for exploring mold in the environment? How is RealTime Labs urine mycotoxin testing helpful? What is his basic approach to treating the mold patient? What do you treat first - Lyme or mold? What is Cell Danger Response and what research is underway in this area? What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, what triggers it, and how is it treated? What is the role of viruses in chronic illness? Should we be looking at SNPs when exploring methylation?

Dr. Gupta doesn't aim treat "diseases", but rather to help clients to learn to treat their own underlying physical, emotional and spiritual factors to address the causes of disease. Of course, specific treatment protocols can help us to "turn the corner" on our health situation, but an underlying foundation of healthy living is vital for long-term results.
