Episode #148: Resolving Chronic Viruses Through Immune Modulation with Dr. Frank Shallenberger, MD

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about how to resolve chronic viruses through immune modulation. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Frank Shallenberger. Frank Shallenberger, MD has been practicing medicine since 1973 and has been a pioneer in alternative and integrative medicine since 1978. He is one of only 16 physicians in Nevada that are licensed both in conventional medicine as well as alternative and homeopathic medicine; allowing him to integrate the best of both approaches for optimal results. Dr. Shallenberger has revolutionized the practice of anti-aging and preventive medicine by developing a method to measure mitochondrial function and oxygen utilization. He has written two popular books describing this method: "The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough" and "Bursting With Energy" and has authored numerous papers in the international peer reviewed literature on ozone therapy and oxygen utilization. He is also the editor of Second Opinion alternative medical newsletter. He is the developer of Prolozone®, an injection technique that has been shown to regenerate damaged joints, herniated discs, and degenerated joints, tendons, and soft tissues. He published the first paper on Prolozone Therapy in the Journal of Prolotherapy entitled “Prolozone – Regenerating Joints and Eliminating Pain”. Key Takeaways: What is a virus? Do they contribute to disease? Should the focus be on killing or on immune modulation? Can some viruses be health-promoting? Can antivirals be helpful in dealing with chronic viruses? What is the role of Th1 and Th2 in response to chronic viruses? What are some of the factors that lead to Th2 dominance Where do antibodies come into the discussion? Are high IgG levels relevant? How do "factories" and "missiles" help to explain the situation with chronic viruses? How big of a foe is EBV? Does the body itself produce ozone? Can ozone help to address both the "factories" and the "missiles"? What are some top "missile defense" tools? How might NK cells be stimulated in shifting the system towards Th1? How might medicinal mushrooms be helpful? Can melatonin be immune-modulating? How might hydrocortisone be helpful in addressing chronic viruses? Is it important to address parasites before downregulating Th2 response? How might immune tolerance tools like LDI be helpful in balancing the immune response? In chronic illness, would more ozone passes be less often or less passes more often be more effective?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about fluoroquinolone toxicity or "floxing". About My Guests: My guests for this episode are Dr. Mark Ghalili and Jason Sousa. Mark Ghalili, DO is a Regenerative Medicine Specialist at Regenerative Medicine LA. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of California Irvine and then went on to obtain his medical degree at Western University of Health Sciences. As a regenerative medicine specialist, Dr. Ghalili’s passion lies in teaching his patients about chronic disease, prevention, and finding the underlying reasons for an illness. Unfortunately, a monumental event in his own personal life changed his path forever. In late 2016, Dr. Ghalili experienced a severe and common adverse reaction to a widely prescribed antibiotic called Cipro. On his second day of antibiotic treatment, he found himself grasping for life in excruciating pain. This was only the beginning of an onslaught of symptoms that changed his life forever. Dr. Ghalili soon suffered from complete muscle wasting, burning neuropathy, seizures, brain fog, vertigo, blurry vision, and tendon tears in his legs. His life became confined to a wheelchair, crippled and unable to walk. Dr. Ghalili’s only hope was implementing alternative and regenerative therapies, as the traditional medical doctors had no answer for him, nor did they even believe him. Dr. Ghalili went from being confined in a wheelchair, unable to treat patients, living in excruciating pain, to gaining the gift of running again, something he will never take for granted. Dr. Ghalili was persistent to gain his normal life back so he could help millions around the world. Jason Sousa is a patient advocate and editor of FloxieHope.com. His own health took a sharp decline six months after using a fluoroquinolone antibiotic in 2013.

Key Takeaways: What medications may lead to "floxing"? How common is damage from fluoroquinolone antibiotics What are the symptoms associated with fluoroquinolone toxicity?

Do other medications contain fluoride and have similar potential adverse outcomes? Is the damage limited to the tendons? What is the role of magnesium and iron in fluoroquinolone toxicity? How do these drugs impact collagen and structural integrity Is there a connection between fluoroquinolones and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? Can fluoroquinolones trigger Mast Cell Activation Syndrome How can side effects be minimized? Can supporting the mitochondria lead to improvement? Is there a place for detoxification of fluoride? What is the role of leaky gut and supporting the microbiome Can supplemental collagen be helpful? How can macrophages be shifted to the anti-inflammatory M2 type?
