[NEW RESEARCH] Nutritional Disorders in Hypermobility Disorders

There is a strong association between #mastcellactivationsyndrome ( #MCAS ) and #hypermobilespectrumdisorders ( #HSD ), such as hypermobile #EhlersDanlosSyndrome (hEDS). People with MCAS and hEDS often experience…

[NEW RESEARCH] Autism and ADHD Risk Predicted by Chemical Intolerance in Parents

Previous research by the authors of this new publication demonstrated a connection between chemical intolerance and #mastcellactivationsyndrome ( #MCAS ). In the 2021 study, the researchers used the…

[NEW RESEARCH] Mycotoxin Damages Testicular Cells

Leydig cells in the testes produce testosterone and play an important role in physiological processes, including sperm production. The #mycotoxin enniatin is produced by the mold Fusarium. Since #mycotoxin s cause cellular damage,…

[CASE REPORT] Successful Treatment of Neurological Lyme with Ceftriaxone and Plasmapheresis

A 4-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and symmetrical ascending progression of muscle weakness causing respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with…
