Chronic illness may involve multiple interconnected inflammatory factors.
Dr. Horowitz explains how the 16-point MSIDS model examines potential contributors to chronic inflammation, including infections, mold exposure, environmental toxins, microbiome disruption, hormonal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, and immune dysregulation. He emphasizes investigating these interconnected factors rather than focusing on a single diagnosis.
Emerging research is exploring the relationship between chronic infections and Alzheimer’s-related biomarkers.
Dr. Horowitz shares his research and clinical observations involving Lyme disease, neuroinflammation, and Alzheimer’s biomarkers. He discusses a published case study in which a patient’s p-tau 217 biomarker reportedly decreased by 63% following a nine-week dapsone protocol, while highlighting the need for further controlled clinical research to investigate these findings.
Compassion and personalized care are important parts of the practitioner-patient relationship.
Beyond testing and treatment protocols, Dr. Horowitz reflects on how compassion, meditation, and genuine connection can influence the patient experience. He explains why listening to patients, understanding their individual circumstances, and addressing multiple potential contributors to chronic illness are important aspects of whole-person care.
