Vaccine Injury Treatment

July 26, 2022 by Dr Masha

Although vaccines can be lifesaving, it is not unheard of to have short term or long term side effects after an injection. For example, myocarditis and pericarditis after the recent COVID 19 vaccines. Some patients may experience some other effects on their health such as rashes, low immune status, chronic pain in different areas, joint issues, etc. This article discusses options for vaccine injury treatment.

Patients can find relief of their symptoms through the use of natural medicine and a few pharmaceutical medications.

With the naturopathic approach, the treatment of vaccine injuries can be a more systematic way of reducing the damage to the body.

How do naturopaths address vaccine injuries?

Using nutritional approaches, specific combinations of herbal and homeopathic remedies, intravenous vitamin injections and many other methods.

You are welcome to schedule a 15- minute Free Phone consultation to talk about your vaccine injury and possible approaches to heal the body.

Natural Approach to Coronavirus

April 14, 2020 by Dr Masha

SARS-CoV2 is the virus that causes the viral infection COVID-19 or Coronavirus.
Since it is a novel virus, we are learning every month new information about its action on the body and how it is best to protect from its complications. It might be that the conventional medicine treatments that we are employing at the moment
can be obsolete in a few months – that is how quickly we need to react to improve the methods we use to save those who are afflicted the most. Natural approach to coronavirus can be added along with treatments at home and in the hospital. The world is in physical distancing and isolation. We have never been in such a large pandemic since 1918 Spanish Flu.
What can naturopathic medicine do for patients to prevent COVID-19 and its consequences?
Naturopathic medicine can achieve two goals:
– Focus on improving IMMUNITY and addressing chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune). It appears to be that the virus can affect profoundly those who have concurrent chronic issues.
– If a person is afflicted with the virus, then shortening the duration of the illness and lessening the severity, and, most importantly, trying to prevent virus from binding to hemoglobin which can lower the oxygen supply, causing lack of oxygen in various tissues. The virus can also cause acute respiratory syndrome and lung necrosis (bilateral pneumonia)
Natural medicine is not a panacea nor a promised cure but it is an attempt to help the body fight better. Naturopaths gather their protocols through an accumulated information and research on similar viruses, clinical experience with natural treatment for influenza and common colds, notes from the physicians successfully treating patients during Spanish Flu (may seem outdated but lessons from the past should not be ignored).
There are some experts saying that Coronavirus will eventually become seasonal like flu and common colds. Thus, we do need to know how to address it naturally too. Without any doubt, the world is expecting a vaccine but vaccines may not be always an answer and key to good health of the people all over the world.
What does natural approach to Coronavirus include?
– Herbal formulations that show anti-viral properties and anti-inflammatory affects (to lessen inflammation in the lungs and other tissues)
– Vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin D, C, A, zinc and others). Zinc is especially is singled out as to help Hydrochloroquine (the anti-malaria medicine found effective in anectodal cases of the virus) work more efficiently, it was helpful to add high doses of zinc as Hydrochloroquine transports zinc from extracellular space
into intracellular space.
– The use of high dose intravenous vitamin C
–Individualized homeopathy along with homeopathic remedies used for this particular epidemic
-Life Style Changes
One recommendation I give all my patients is to get at least 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is free! Research shows that sleep by itself can increase the immune system and prepare the body to better fight viruses. The best sleep is before 12 am. So going to sleep at 10 pm can be optimal.
If sleep is something you need to work on, let me know too! There are herbs, minerals and vitamins that can help improve sleep along with working on sleep schedule and sleep routine.
If you have any questions about how to approach the viruses with natural medicine, do not hesitate to let me know!

Improving Fertility Naturally For Women and Men

April 13, 2020 by Dr Masha

In my practice, I see women and men, couples (heterosexual and same sex couples) for natural treatments to improve fertility. I work with couples who would like to conceive naturally as well as with those who are seeking assisted reproductive technology to help them achieve their dream of having a family.
The best approach is to prepare for conception, healthy pregnancy and delivery. We call it in naturopathic medicine –Pre-Conception. Pre-Conception should be initiated a few months before intended conception or Assisted Reproductive Procedures (such as IVF, IUIs, etc).
What does Pre-Conception include?
-Identifying possible causes of fertility challenges in both partners (hormonal testing, general health testing, thorough history during extended visits)
-Implementing treatment after identifying the causes to improve fertility naturally for women and men (it can include herbal formulations to balance hormones, antioxidant/nutrient dense formulation to address sperm quality, nourishing and improving the quality of the female egg reserve, etc)
Low ovarian reserve and low sperm count and quality can be improved through the diet, exercise, correctly formulated botanical, vitamins, minerals, and finding emotional balance. And many other fertility challenges (thyroid imbalances, low progesterone/high estrogen state, PCOS, anovulatory cycles, just to name a few) can be improved through naturopathic protocols.
I have been through fertility struggles myself with my partner. It took us 7 years to conceive our first baby. We ended up doing IVF in Vancouver, Canada. The first course of IVF worked for us. We started preparing for IVF 6 months before the procedure. My husband was taking high quality supplements to improve his sperm quality and count, I was taking herbal/mineral/vitamin supplements to improve my endocrine system (hormones), take care of my follicle health (there are nutrients that follicles use as food), weekly session of acupuncture. Our diet was anti-inflammatory, we both had a routine for exercise.
I see it so often that families who are pursuing assisted reproductive technologies are not informed by their physicians or fertility specialists about the importance of caring for their bodies, their hormones, their reproductive health (including health of the sperm, ovaries, follicles, uterus, etc) before the IVF is initiated, thus, IVF may not have a high success rate and couples end up going through more in-vitro fertilizations many times spending a large amount of money and getting frustrated.
Couples who try to conceive naturally can benefit tremendously from adding natural medicine as part of pre-conception care.
As you can see this topic is vast and very individualized. Improving fertility naturally for women and men is what natural medicine is very good at.
If you have questions about natural approach to fertility, please do not hesitate to schedule a 15 Minute free Phone Consultation.

Holistic Cancer Care

November 23, 2016 by Dr. Masha Leave a Comment

Naturopathy has emerged in the last twenty years as one of the adjunctive therapies for Cancer Care.

Naturopathy can help conventional therapies like Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation, Immunotherapy and Hormone Therapy become more effective.

Naturopathy advocates adding changes in the diet, supplementing with vitamins and minerals that improve the patient’s sleep, give energy while their bodies are healing.

A patient does not lose anything by adding natural medicine because it is non-toxic and gentle.

It is best to see a practitioner though.

Why?

Because Naturopathic doctors have the resources to check for a lot of things, like drug-herb and supplement interactions, etc.

Naturopathic doctors can assess nutritional deficiencies and guide patients to a better and more effective whole body natural treatment options, dietary changes and recommend high quality supplementation.

If you want to learn more about the role of Nutrition in Cancer, you can read about it in this post: 80% of adult cancer patients are malnourished.

Vitamin B12 Shots

November 23, 2016 by Dr. Masha Leave a Comment

naturopathic-medicine

Many people are deficient in vitamin B12.

An injection (shot) is done into a muscle (not painful) – it takes only less than 10 minutes for a visit.

Doing a vitamin into a muscle allows it to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and be absorbed into the blood stream right away bringing instant benefits.

The following conditions can be particularly responsive to Vitamin B12 injections (shots): 

-heart disease

-neurocognitive disorders

-coordination problems (ataxia)

-fatigue

-peripheral neuropathy

-during and after stomach acid reducing medications

-after gastric bypass surgery

-vision loss

-fertility challenges

-after chemotherapy, radiation, etc 

-many other conditions

Here is a short article about B12 deficiency. 

Many people will feel energized after the shot.

It helps during flu and cold season. It can also boost an immune system during other immunocompromised situations.

If are interested in scheduling vitamin B12, please call 714-924-5592 or email drmashand@gamil.com.
