CHRONIC INFECTIONS AND IMMUNE DISORDERS

Chronic persistent infections have been somewhat slow to be acknowledged by mainstream medicine, although this is changing more rapidly in the post-COVID environment.  This has long left a huge gap in medical care for those patients who suffer from such conditions. Naturopathic medicine doctors long ago stepped in to help those people and as a result, we are experts in this area.  It is my experience that chronic infections are a result of a confluence between an infectious agent or collection of toxins and an inflammatory immune response that fails to resolve appropriately.  In some people, this can lead to autonomic nervous system dysregulation or autoimmunity.  These can be difficult cases to unwind as they are always multifactorial and sometimes very long-standing.  I approach treatment by unfolding and supporting the body in its efforts to find balance and clear obstacles, one layer at a time.
