If you are dealing with a disc herniation,

your best bet is to fix this the right way FIRST.

If you've already tried treaments and it keeps coming back....something was MISSED.

If you want to understand what was missed & if we can help you.

DM us to get started.

If I had a disc herniation RIGHT NOW

Here's exactly what protocol I'd run

(And no its not more back extensions)

[Ian McIntosh D.C. @IanMcIntosh1]

If you herniate a disc here's what will happen:

Your body will heal the disc,
your nervous system will reduce the inflammation,
your back might feel fine,
but if the pain comes back in 5 months here's why:

You never addressed ROM
You never establish core stability
You never regained the strength

Fungus people often get really puffy and red...?

High amounts of estrogen can do that to you.

Here the link:
1-fungus overgrowth in the body
2-microbiome shifts towards pathogenic bacteria
3-bacterial enzymes will de-conjugate estrogen for recirculation into the body

The vicious cycle of high estrogen takes effect.

In men=man boobs, low T, high body fat
in women=PCOS, endometriosis, etc.

In fact, its well known that the long term side effects of fungal derived medicines (anti-rejection drugs) are:
-kidney damage
-liver cell damage
-increased risk for metabolic syndrome
-dysbiosis
-yeast overgrowths
-increased risk for infections

Same risk profile for chronic "normal" fungal exposure...

Something more people need to realize-> fungus and mold metabolites can TURN OFF your immune system.

Don't believe me?

Look at organ transplant drugs & where they come from:

-Calcineurin Inhibitors (fungus)
-Mycophenolics (mold)
-mTOR inhib. (fungus)

What the most likely reason for someone to develop asthma...?

Mold exposure at home.

If your home smells musty, its growing mold, and slowly killing you.

You don't have brain fog-> you have mold brain.

Inhaling mold spores can make your brain similar to someone with a TBI!!

When I removed myself from a moldy work environment and did a real detox protocol, my mental clarity was night and day different.

[Ian McIntosh D.C. @IanMcIntosh1]

Mold exposure can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and then subsequently trigger autoimmunity.

You don't need more caffeine you need a new job & better detox.

Concerned about pesticides and negative health effects?

->Consider taking a binder with humic acids!

CellCore specialized in these supplements by using Carbon Technology to make the highest quality humic and fulvic acid detox supps!

[Ian McIntosh D.C. @IanMcIntosh1]

One of the best binders (especially for kiddos) Is Modified Citrus Pectin! Check out this paper:

161% decrease in blood LEAD levels.

My favorite MCP -> Pectasol

In the United States, 30–50% of all structures have damp conditions that may encourage the growth and buildup of biological pollutants.
