It's still April and we are all still here.

That's us at Center for Healing Neurology as well as all of you out there in your homes, yards and some at your places of work. Our coronavirus-environment continues to evolve and we have content for you this week about just that. 

  • The Exhaustion Epidemic interview with Dr Gillian airs TODAY. She examines a few ways this pandemic is exposing well-known societal vulnerabilities and what we can do now to strengthen ourselves, communities and society moving forward. 
  • New YouTube upload: 5 Ways to Manage Stress with Dr Gillian. This 17-minute video dives deeply into how to manage our feelings (from meditation to a primal scream & beyond) so that our minds can think more clearly about the nuts & bolts of paying attention in this national health and financial crisis.
  • IV Therapy services are available to you now- including a special recipe for COVID-19 support: Our Super Immune recipe includes a healthy dose of IV vitamin C (now being used in some hospital settings) plus a few other special nutrients to support the intelligence of the immune system. We list a sampling of our other neuro-specific recipes below. 
  • Zoom webinar on Using the Gut to Boost Immunity with Dr Gillian moved to NEXT Tuesday, April 14th at 1:30-2:30pm. The more we know, the more we find the gut at the root of both illness & wellness. 
  • Research updates: COVID-19 and the nervous system: Not a surprise to us, research is now being published quantifying & qualifying the toll this particular viral illness can take on our nervous system. Stay tuned for more info about how to recover your nervous system post-pandemic (regardless if you were sick or not).

Heather Russell, heath-coach and host of the online summit has this to say about our interview today: 

"Today, I’m honored to welcome Dr. Gillian Ehrlich, a doctor nurse with 20 years’ experience caring for her community. She brings a unique Functional Medicine and Ayurvedic approach to get to the root cause of illness and provide support needed for patients to truly heal mind, body and spirit.

We were already exhausted before the pandemic, but for many of us now, our stress levels have increased exponentially. In this timely interview, we are given an opportunity to collect and nurture ourselves and think about how we can shift from this broken paradigm and create a new, kinder world. Lots of empowering ideas and food for thought!

From our conversation, you’ll learn:

✨ To slow down, reconnect and go within and see reality as it really is

✨ Connect with the internal and external and make time for both

✨ How discharging distress and being heard anchors us into the light

✨ Creating a daily routine that is gentle and nourishing

✨ And so much more!

What do you have to lose? (Hint: stress, disempowerment, disconnection, always “doing”.) Tune in and let me know what you think."

5 Strategies to Manage Stress in the Time of Pandemic & Beyond!

To get through a pandemic, we need to be able to think clearly. 

To think clearly, we need to be able to look at reality as it is. 

To be able to see reality, we need to process out the feelings, fears, anticipations and expectations we have for ourselves. 

Our memories serve to guide our perceptions and behavior. Remembering that cars don't stop for you in the road is instrumental to survive when crossing streets. Sometimes, however, our memories are over-protective of us. They tell us we'll catch a cold and die in the rain from fear instilled by our parents but that may not actually be true, or in our best interest at all times and in all situations. 

We were filled with feelings before this pandemic and our systems wisely search our memory banks for ways we've 'encountered' and 'surmounted' a pandemic in the past. Most of us haven't lived through a pandemic before. 

This is new territory. 

But we've been humans a long long time. We've evolved to be resilient to so many challenges, including virus, toxins, trauma, etc, etc, etc. Our resilience is strongest when our minds can assess our situations accurately, which doesn't happen when we panic and our limbic system gets put in charge. 

Check out this 17 minute video by Dr Gillian. Take notes. Sit down and make yourself a schedule for processing and integrating your emotions as part of your daily routine. 

IV Therapy Full-Menu Available

IV nutrients and medications allow for 100% absorption into the blood stream and are able to avoid the unnecessary and sometimes allergenic fillers that are included in capsules, tablets, and other oral formulations.

IV therapy also can offer a powerful boost to help you jumpstart out of a stuck health groove. This includes the potential (although no research confirms this yet) to move differently through COVID-19. We want a robust viral response and then an appropriate recovery (vs cytokine storm). Our Super Immune recipe supports the intelligence of the immune system over more or less power. 

Best of all, we can customize an IV therapy just for you! If you haven't been seen as a patient here yet, you are welcome to access a series of standardized IV therapy recipes per your request (on completion of a health history that is reviewed by our clinicians for approval).

Alongside standard favorites like IV vitamin C, glutathione pushes, injections of Vitamin D & methylated B12, we have unique recipes designed by neurologist Dr Ruhoy & our team for all aspects of your health.

We also carry IVIG (IV Immunoglobulin G) in clinic for purchase which is an immunomodulatory product. This can also be used to sharpen our response to viral challenge like COVID-19. Research shows benefit with chronic immunodeficiency syndromes, encephalopathies, and we have found it beneficial for PANS/PANDAS and autism conditions in children and young adults. IVIG increases the intelligence and efficiency of the immune system (instead of just targeting global anti-inflammation- remember some inflammation is necessary for the constant remodeling of our cells and tissues!). 

Here are a few examples of conditions for which we use IV Therapy which you can access now in clinic: 
  • Migraines
  • Mitochondrial Boost and energy support
  • Detoxification and chelation including a personalized version of the PK Protocol
  • Immunomodulation: autoimmune disease, chronic immunodeficiency syndromes
  • Autism
  • Chronic pain
  • GI issues like IBS, IBD, 'leaky gut'
  • Nutrient deficiency (we can also order nutrient testing kits to get very specific- schedule a remote or local visit for evaluation for this)
  • Cognitive support, dementia, Alzheimer's
  • Common cold prevention and/or lingering upper respiratory infections
  • Shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia
  • Allergies and MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome)
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Mood stabilization
  • Substance addiction and detox & recovery support for cessation
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hangover rehydration
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Beauty and aesthetics
  • Regenerative and anti-aging

Did you know the gut holds 70% of the body's immune cells? You want to prevent cytokine storm? Start here!

Dr Gillian brings her training in Functional Medicine, Ayurveda & integrative neurology to explain how gut immunity works including a review of cell types and their networks and then a deep dive into how these are impacted by our daily life habits (diet, sleep, stress and exercise). You've got options to biohack your health just by tweaking what you're already doing (eating, sleeping, etc).

You'll come away with principles to live by and some practical strategies to sharpen your immune systems's intelligence & efficiency with a healthier and happier gut.

Join us for a lively discussion about Dr Gillian's favorite topic, the psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune system rooted in the gut. Q & A welcome!

Latest Research Findings: COVID-19 & the Central Nervous System

COVID19 has been found to cause neurological complications during both the acute and chronic phases. These complications include encephalitis, seizures, stroke, and AIDP. Delayed complications are likely to include cognitive decline, headaches, myopathy, and neuropathy.  Mechanisms are still being elucidated and includes the possibility of expression of ACE2 receptors on brain cells resulting in a cascade of cerebral involvement once COVID19 gains access via the circulation. 

There are many treatment options to consider including various means of immunomodulation and reduction of the inflammatory cascade. Regenerative medicine holds great promise. Mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes contain anti-inflammatory proteins that serve as immunomodulators. They also contain pro-angiogetic and anti-apoptotic proteins that help to restore and repair tissue including alveolar cells as well as cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
