One reason for continued positivity can be the presence of viral fragments triggering the PCR test to be positive. If this is the case the person would not be infectious. One recurrent theme is people symptomatic with Covid 19 should be treated early. Here is a list of possible Side effects from Hydroxychloroquine. My review of the ‘dangerous side effects of HCQ’ literature is below. Prolongation of the heart beat called ‘QT prolongation’. Azithromycin also has this as a side effect. This prolongation detected on EKG can lead to heart arrhythmias, and heart arrhythmias can be fatal.

This loss triggers a cascade of detrimental events, including formation of scar tissue, an overload of blood flow and pressure capacity, the overstretching of viable cardiac cells attempting to sustain cardiac output, leading to heart failure, and eventual death. Restoring damaged heart muscle tissue, through repair or regeneration, is therefore a potentially new strategy to treat heart failure. - [What are Stem Cells? by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/what-are-stem-cells-by-dr-donaldson/) - Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important characteristics. First, they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimes after long periods of inactivity. Second, under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become tissue- or organ-specific cells with special functions. - [Cells that Heal from Cradle to Grave, A Quantum Leap in Medical Science](http://regenerativemc.com/cells-that-heal-from-cradle-to-grave-a-quantum-leap-in-medical-science/) - Stem Cells and Placenta.

All forms of isolation will work to diminish a communicable disease. Here are some timelines of COVID-19 in the United States and around the world. We've observed travel restrictions, lockdowns both imposed and also lifted. However, to render the virus extinct, takes total isolation which has not been done to date. At minimum, a quarantine or lockdown should be approx 60 days if the goal is to try to extinguish the virus as much as possible. Searching the internet for reliable sources is difficult. All numbers are most likely incorrect as reporting is not perfect. However, there emerges commonalities between many countries. - [Perspective on Quarantine, Lockdown, and Covid 19  Part II](http://regenerativemc.com/perspective-on-quarantine-lockdown-and-covid-19-part-ii/) - What is the correct quarantine time or incubation period for Covid-19? The incubation period of an infection is influenced by infectious dose and immune response. The aspects I chose to follow were: Population, Deaths per million, total number of deaths , Date of the first documented case , Travel restrictions, Date of lockdown, date lockdown was released and what happened to number of cases and deaths, Total deaths, Graph of deaths over time , Graph of cases over time and the Second wave of Covid 19. One interesting fact is the theory the denser the population and the closeness of living as a major factor in the spread of disease was dispelled by India’s initial total lockdown measures. - [Perspective on Quarantine and Covid 19 (Part I)](http://regenerativemc.com/perspective-on-quarantine-and-covid-19-part-i/) - Should we Quarantine? How Long should one Quarantine to Protect Everyone from not getting Covid 19? Studies and case studies showed onset of disease up to 29 days. I personally have witnessed 2 cases of people being positive for longer than 29 days. Knowing those numbers, I would presume a 40 day quarantine of those exposed, possibly exposed, or those with symptoms would suffice to stop disease progression. Statistics are only true if people truly isolate and have no contact with one another. ... In larger cities with large apartment complexes, the disease will be spread more easily. Assuming people get infected through shared ventilation, the quarantine in those particular buildings should be 40 days past the last person who is symptomatic. - [Low Testosterone as a Prognostic Factor of Severe Covid-19 Disease](http://regenerativemc.com/low-testosterone-as-a-prognostic-factor-of-severe-covid-19-disease/) - Hormones are healing.

Checking testosterone levels for a treatable prognostic factor just as they are checking CRP levels to evaluate the degree of inflammation. Make sure your zinc level is optimal. Zinc decreases viral replication of Covid 19, and it helps boost testosterone levels and function. True for both males and females. To be at our optimal health, maintaining optimal hormone levels are key. Optimal hormones are just as important as maintaining optimal nutritional levels and an optimal exercise program.

Who would have thought!? Ketones cause an elevation in beta-hydroxybuyrate (BHB) levels which in turn lowers excitability in the brain and modulates inflammatory processes in the brain. The full use of Ketone Esters to decrease inflammation in the body in general has yet to be unmasked. Improved Health Outcomes using Ketone Esters and Cognitive Function. Treatments for Neurodegenerative disease, Adjunct for Cancer Treatments, Cardiovascular Disease and Weight Loss. Ketone salts are ketone bodies, like BHB, bound to a mineral of either calcium, sodium, or magnesium. In the blood stream Ketone Esters are converted into ketones like your body makes. The Ketone esters are more efficient than ketone salts in making ketones. - [Good News - Covid Treatments](http://regenerativemc.com/good-news-covid-treatments/) - Covid-19 and Coronavirus Treatments.

As a rehabilitation medicine specialist he had first hand experience replacing depleted hormones such as testosterone and GH in people whose endocrine glands had been injured and noted no side effects. So he decided he would replace all his hormones that were low on his bloodwork to that of a 20 year old. He took GH, testosterone, thyroid hormone, and DHEA. Upon doing this, he noted miraculous changes. His chest pains stopped, he started losing weight, started gaining muscle, and his cholesterol and triglycerides turned to normal. Seeing himself and his pituitary deficient patients getting better on GH, Chein became passionate about building an Anti-Aging Clinic in the US. In order to do this, he had to convince the FDA to reverse their decision to ban the use of GH in adult patients, and being a lawyer, he did just that. - [Growth Hormone – The Anti-Aging Movement – Aging Is a Disease](http://regenerativemc.com/growth-hormone-the-anti-aging-movement-aging-is-a-disease/) - In 1990 in a controlled, randomized study, men who were given Growth Hormone (GH) had increase muscle mass, Decreased fat and increased bone density.

Flora means plants that live in a particular habitat. In this case, our gut is our habitat and the flora are microorganisms such as bacteria. Our gut microbiota is made up of tens of trillions of bacteria which is ten times more cells than make up our own bodies. There are 1000 different species of known bacteria in our gut and these bacteria contain over 3 million genes. This is more than 150 times than human genes. Although there are 1000 different species of known gut bacteria, only 150-170 species reside in one person at a time. One third of our gut flora is common to most people and the other 2/3 are specific to each person. Therefore, each person has their own individual unique gut flora. Amazingly the gut microbiota can weigh up to 4.5 pounds which gives you an idea of how many of those critters are in you working on your digestion. Our gut flora seems to have a brain of its own making many neurotransmitters which can control our moods. The majority of serotonin, a feel good neurotransmitter, is made in the gut.

In the 1960's, iodine was added to our bread dough. This was a good thing, since one slice of bread gave you your recommended daily allowance. Unfortunately, twenty years later, the National Institute of Health came to believe we were getting too much iodine. This idea was not based on any credible scientific evidence. In 1980, iodine was removed from bread and was replaced by bromide. This was highly unfortunate, as bromide is toxic. It purges iodine from your body. Bromide is found in bread, Gatorade, swimming pools, fire retardant, carpets, furniture, nail polish, and make-up, to name a few items you're in contact with on a daily basis. Bromide toxicity is the underlying cause of the rise in breast cancer. Bromide has been banned in Europe, but not in the United States. HELP! Does anyone know of an antidote for bromide toxicity? After reading this post, you will know! In addition, we have depleted iodine from our soils, so our foods have much less of this micro-nutrient that our bodies demand to function at their highest level. Some areas near the ocean have moderate levels of iodine in the soil; however, the further inland you go, less and less exists in the soil. - [Kathryn's Story](http://regenerativemc.com/kathryns-story/) - Kathryn is a thirty-eight-year-old female who came to see me with complaints of fatigue, weight gamin, muscle aches, and joint pain. She was taking fifty-eight prescription pills a day, including anti-depressants, narcotic pain medication, and two different anti-inflammatory prescriptions. She was feeling horrible and not getting any relief. Her marital life was in disarray and she was temporarily disabled because she could not work. Not one of the multiple physicians she was seeing, including an internist, ob-gyn, psychiatrist, and rheumatologist, had checked her hormone levels. - [No-Pasta Mediterranean Zucchini Salad](http://regenerativemc.com/no-pasta-mediterranean-zucchini-salad/) - Zucchini noodles stand in for wheat noodles in this gluten and grain free take on a pasta salad that's packed to the brim with chickpeas, olives and feta.

For example, how amazing is it that we live with billions of organisms called our flora working in precise unison with our human cells, keeping our bodies and minds functioning to create the whole of who we are. Diet and nutrition were running in the forefront this year, with stem cells, placenta, and human derived amniotic tissue (HADT) a close second, and the power of hormones continue to amaze me as they help create the foundation of our personalities. I stand in awe. I stand in awe as I see human stems cells, human amniotic derived tissue (HADT), and placenta extract derived from the afterbirth of C-sections used as tissue transplant to help another human being heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. - [32 Clean Eating Low-Calorie Snacks](http://regenerativemc.com/32-clean-eating-low-calorie-snacks/) - It is so easy to fall off the healthy eating track.

Just take a minute to google the word and look at the images that come up. WARNING: not for the faint of heart or for those with weak stomachs! Go ahead, I’ll wait for you. You’re back? Scary, huh? Now you know where I’m coming from because I have experienced multiple instances of angioedema over that past two years. Two of them were severe enough to land me in the emergency room. When you wake up at three AM with a bottom lip that belongs in a Star Wars movie and the last instance involved a swelling tongue, you begin to worry about a blocked airway and you get yourself to the emergency room stat. Plus, my husband’s reaction when I woke him up didn’t do anything to ease my mind! - [RMC Gift Certificates](http://regenerativemc.com/rmc-gift-certificates/) - Give someone you love the gift of health + wellness by purchasing a Regenerative Medicine Center Gift Certificate.

If you put stem cells in a dish with a different environment they can differentiate into bone, fat, or muscle. Why? How do they do this? How do they know what to cell to become? All are identical, so what controls the fate of cells? The answer is their Environment. They are directed and influenced by their environment. - [Dawn's Story; Part 4, "Diet"](http://regenerativemc.com/dawns-story-part-4-diet/) - Diet. Yes I am back to diet, because just when I was getting the hang of the gluten free, histamine diet, I got the results of my stool test. Yes, it’s that kind of stool and I don’t want to talk about it except to say that the lovely Anne-Marie who is a nutritionist at Dr. Donaldson’s office had some changes for me based on the results. - [A (3) Minute Cardiovascular Assessment at RMC](http://regenerativemc.com/a-3-minute-cardiovascular-assessment-at-rmc/) - Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that play a role in virtually all major bodily systems and functions including your cardiovascular system.

First you would hear it had a positive effect on the body and next you would hear you should not drink it. When I opened my coffee shop, Perks and Passions, years ago, and was looking at transitioning from traditional medicine to integrated medicine, I was told those two ideas were incompatible with each other since coffee was not good for you, and was encouraged to close my coffee shop. - [7 Steps to Optimal Digestion](http://regenerativemc.com/7-steps-to-optimal-digestion/) - Stop any random person on the street, and chances are, they’ll admit to experiencing “common” symptoms: reflux, bloating, gas, weight gain, constipation… even those people who claim to eat a clean diet, consume vegetables by the boatload or avoid sugar like the plague.

Tori is a 56-year old female who has been a Regenerative Medicine Center patient for several years. Tori’s diet at that time was one that nearly everyone would agree was healthy: plenty of organic vegetables, organic fruit, wild-caught salmon, and organic meat, eggs and poultry. Tori rarely indulged in sugars, processed foods, or grains, and she cooked with foods known to have health-boosting properties, like garlic and olive oil. Despite her healthy eating habits, Tori was having difficulty losing weight. - [EAT this, NOT that. Yogurt.](http://regenerativemc.com/eat-this-not-that-yogurt/) - Flavored yogurt has sugar added to it... some flavored yogurts actually have more sugar than the equivalent portion of ice cream! (And no, that's not an insinuation to eat ice cream instead...) Eating plain yogurt keeps sugar content lower, and by adding fresh fruit you get the added bonus of fiber. - [Light Portal Testimonial](http://regenerativemc.com/light-portal-testimonial/) - Light Portal™ has the unique ability to transport me to new levels within my own body.

Some women have it and don’t even know what it is called, or even it is an issue that can be resolved. A whopping fifty percent or more women have stress incontinence! It is a monumental problem with few traditional medicine solutions. Stress incontinence is leakage of urine when you laugh, or sneeze, twist, or cough. Sometimes women have it when they are climbing stairs, fast walking, running, jumping on the trampoline or doing jumping jacks. It is embarrassing to have happen and most women adapt by just avoiding the things that give them stress incontinence. They become resolved this is the way their body is and just accept there is nothing to do about it. - [Integrated Genetic Solutions Program](http://regenerativemc.com/integrated-genetic-solutions-program/) - Your DNA is your key. Gene expression controls body chemistry. The up-regulation and down-regulation of your genes control the processing of hormones, proteins, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.

This can negatively affect your energy, cognitive ability, body composition, immune system, and overall health. - [Running with the Wind, Part 1 by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/running-with-the-wind-part-1-by-dr-donaldson/) - I found I loved the freedom of being alone while running and would also find people with whom to run. I found I loved to be outside feeling the weather. I found I loved running in hot weather and sweating profusely. I found an outlet for my built up frustrations. I started running the hills of Pennsylvania with joy and delight. It became my meditation. It became my peace. It balanced me. - [Sugar: The Bitter Effects by Anne-Marie Alderson](http://regenerativemc.com/sugar-the-bitter-effects-by-anne-marie-alderson/) - Your body likes to operate with your blood sugar in a specific range. When you consume sugar or grain carbohydrates like bread or pasta (which break down into sugars), your blood sugar level starts to rise. When blood sugar levels surpass your body’s comfort level, the pancreas begins to secrete the hormone insulin... So, what happens when the liver and muscle glycogen stores are full? When this happens, the sugar is converted to triglycerides for storage in your fat cells. - [Ketogenic Protocol: Fat for Fuel, Part 1 by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/ketogenic-protocol-fat-for-fuel-part-1-by-dr-donaldson/) - History of Ketogenic Diet. Definition of Ketogenic Diet. Calories In. Calories Out. It Is All In The Math! A ketogenic diet uses dietary and stored body fat as a source for fuel in the form of ketones. When ketones are high, the body is said to be in a state of “ketosis”. when you are in ketosis, your body is using fat as its primary fuel source. Using the right ratio of whole food macro-nutrients to burn fat calories rather than sugar calories, the ketogenic diet is the best diet for weight loss at the lowest cost. It is not always the easiest diet to follow. It may take you two or more weeks to get into ketosis and become what is commonly known as fat-adapted. - [Gluten Free: What's the Deal? by Anne-Marie](http://regenerativemc.com/gluten-free-whats-the-deal-by-anne-marie/) - Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Bread, bagels, pasta, cake, cookies, cereals, cornbread, pretzels, most crackers, waffles, and muffins are among some of the obvious gluten-containing foods. But did you know beer and soy sauce contain gluten? People who are diagnosed with Celiac Disease must avoid gluten due to an autoimmune response. When a person with Celiac eats a gluten-containing product, (even in small quantities such as breadcrumbs in meatballs), their body launches an immune attack on the small intestine. This immune response damages the ability of the small intestine to absorb nutrients from the diet, leading to gas, bloating, vomiting, and indigestion to seemingly unrelated symptoms, like fatigue, muscle and joint pain, anxiety and depression, and headaches. - [Nutrients; Part 1, "Zinc" by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/nutrients-part-1-zinc-by-dr-donaldson/) - For example, you need Zinc for your immune system to work properly. Zinc has a role in - cell division and cell growth, wound healing, breakdown of carbohydrates to glucose for energy, sense of smell and taste, enhances the action of insulin, kills infections when it sits on the cilia in your nose, helps testosterone release, regulates gene expression, nerve impulse transmission, gene directed cell death, needed for a normal pregnancy, over 300 enzymes depend on zinc to help them work the structure and function of cell membranes... - [Age Management Aesthetics Conference](http://regenerativemc.com/age-management-aesthetics-conference/) - One of the first presentations was about the use of PRP (platelet rich plasma) to treat sexual incontinence and vaginal wounds. Some of the women in the case studies had been abused, and some simply had malformations. Heavy stuff for 9 a.m., but the results were impressive: a quick procedure in which PRP was injected into the area yielded healing (and even long awaited orgasms that were not attainable beforehand) for the patients. Skin and soft tissue heals rapidly after injections. Also, knowing about PRP, growth factors, stem cells and chemical peels help us to understand how skin can be broken down to ultimately be rebuilt and restructured. Through healing, our largest organ in our bodies can become better than ever. This is where not only the use of DMK products come in, but also procedures such micro-dermabrasion, micro-needling and the cold laser, can help to tear down the old to make room for the new. - [Nutrition, Part 2 "Zinc, Alzheimers & Diet" by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/nutrition-part-2-zinc-alzheimers-diet-by-dr-donaldson/) - Recently, I was at an age management conference and one of my more brilliant colleagues from medical school was talking about Alzheimers and zinc deficiency as being a possible probable cause. Can you imagine, curing Alzheimers with zinc? The theory he proposed made a lot of sense. He said one of the enzymes that needs zinc in order to be able to perform its function breaks down beta-amyloid. Build up of beta-amyloid in the brain is thought to be the cause of Alzheimers. So if a person is zinc deficient and can’t break down the beta-amyloid in the brain, a zinc deficient person should get Alzheimers. Rather than developing a drug that has side effects and does not treat the cause, should we not be spending money looking at our nutrition as a probable cause and treatment of Alheimers. - [Father's Day Reflection by Dr. Donaldson](http://regenerativemc.com/fathers-day-reflection-by-dr-donaldson/) - I thought, a father is like the tallest tree growing with their branches extending into the heavens and their roots growing firmly and deeply into the ground. They are grounded, they care, they are survivors, they do what they have to do, they are miracle makers in their own way. To All Fathers…Happy Father’s Day. Have a wondrous, beautiful, enlightening day teaming full of joy, peace, and love. May you understand as you helped create your children, you helped create miracles, as life itself is a miracle.
