Episode #195: Heavily Metalled with Shari Guess

Why You Should Listen:

In this episode, you will learn about heavy metals, metal allergy, and Type IV delayed hypersensitivity responses.

About My Guest:

My guest for this episode is Shari Guess. Shari Guess almost died from severe allergies due to metal hypersensitivity after a litany of orthopedic surgeries, all performed within a few short years, which implanted a large amount of metal and dental hardware in her body. At the time she got sick, she was working as a full-time realtor and attending college, studying pre-med, hoping to eventually become a Physician’s Assistant. After being bedridden for nearly 3 years and feverishly researching everything she could to help find out the cause of her severe systemic symptoms, she had a lucky break in the case and was able to connect the dots with all of her symptoms. Suddenly everything made sense! Shari has undergone numerous surgeries to date to remove and revise hardware. These surgeries have restored her to near-full health as the symptoms related to her metal allergies began to subside by leaps and bounds immediately following the procedures. While in the thick of her illness, due to a compromised immune system, she also acquired Lyme Disease, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and several other autoimmune diseases. Shari is blessed to have been able to put almost all of that behind her, experiencing near complete relief from the symptoms of Lyme and co-infections after LymeStop treatment in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, along with the restoration of her immune system through the removal of the metals and implementing limbic system retraining.

Key Takeaways:

- What is a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction?
- What is the difference between a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to heavy metals and a mast cell reaction?
- Is there an overlap between metal hypersensitivity and autoimmunity?
- What role do medical implants play in triggering metal hypersensitivity?
- Can IUDs or hernia mesh trigger type IV hypersensitivity reactions?
- Might metal allergy play a role in Stiff Person Syndrome?
- Should titanium dioxide in supplements be avoided?
- Might heavy metals lead to EMF hypersensitivity or EHS?
- Is gadolinium toxigenic or immunogenic or both?
- What is MELISA testing?
- What is patch testing?
- Can detoxification of heavy metals be done too aggressively?
- Is there a place for immune modulation in dealing with metal allergy?
- How might tools like LDN, LDA, or LDI be helpful?
- What is the role of the low nickel diet in metal allergy?

Episode #193: Actinos as a Root Cause of CIRS with Dr. Eric Dorninger, ND, LAc

Why You Should Listen:

In this episode, you will learn about the root causes of CIRS including Actinos and endotoxins.

About My Guest:

My guest for this episode is Dr. Eric Dorninger. Eric Dorninger ND, LAc is a Registered Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist. He graduated from Bastyr University, the leading accredited university for science-based natural medicine. Prior to medical school, he received his B.A. in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1997. During this time he also finished his E.M.T. (Emergency Medical Technician) training and volunteered at Porter Care Hospice in Denver. This dual exposure of medical perspectives laid down the roots for Dr. Dorninger’s integrated approach to diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Following undergrad, Dr. Dorninger served as an EMT for the Cranford First Aid Squad in Cranford, NJ. He then completed his doctorate in naturopathic medicine and his master’s degree in acupuncture at Bastyr University in 2003, after which he returned to Boulder, Colorado to complete a 2-year residency in naturopathic primary care. In 2005, Dr. Dorninger founded Roots and Branches Integrative Health Care, a clinic dedicated to “Mystery Illness” where he focuses on elucidating the underlying causes of unrelenting chronic illness. Dr. Dorninger is not concerned with what you have as much as he is with why you have it. He has dedicated his professional life to a deeper understanding of differential diagnosis based in the tradition of “Remove Obstacles to Cure.” After the 2013 floods in Boulder, Dr. Dorninger noticed that patients who were initially getting better suddenly regressed. Moreover, patients he was struggling to diagnose got worse. Fortunately, he was guided to the honest, data-driven, peer-reviewed, reproducible published work of Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker on mold and biotoxin illness. In 2014 Dr. Dorninger signed on for his Shoemaker certification training. Dr. Dorninger is a certified Shoemaker practitioner and remains true to the Shoemaker protocol. According to Dorninger, diagnosing underlying causes and facilitating accurate treatment plans is a grind. At Roots and Branches, we embrace the grind. In addition to private practice, Dr. Dorninger teaches functional medicine for Apex Energetics, practices Jiu-Jitsu, skis, and enjoys watching his biotoxin-genetically susceptible kids thrive post chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) treatment.

Key Takeaways:

What are the root causes of CIRS?
What is the difference between endotoxins and lipopolysaccharides?
Do Actinos or endotoxins trigger MCAS?
Should Actino and endotoxin testing always be done along with the ERMI?
Is there still a place for HLA-DR?
What has GENIE revealed about patients with CIRS?
How should Actino and endotoxin testing be evaluated?
Are soil habitat Actinos a contributor to CIRS?
What is the role of Actinos on the skin?
What drainpipe maintenance should be considered to reduce exposure to Actinos?
What steps should be taken to optimize our sleep location?
Do air filters play a role in reducing Actinos and endotoxins?
What is the role of Cholestyramine in dealing with Actinos and endotoxins?
Can Actinos be found in the blood?
Might there be a place for antimicrobial interventions in dealing with Actinos?

About My Guests:

My guests for this episode are Dr. Christian Bogner and Alex Zaharakis.

Christian Bogner, MD, FACOG, CFMNP is a lecturer, educator, and experienced practicing clinician. He has four children, with his oldest affected with autism. He is a certified Functional Medicine physician with additional board certification in OBGYN. He has obtained his certification in Plant-Based-Nutrition from Cornell University. Dr. Bogner is a clinical consultant for MaxGen Labs, LLC, a nutrigenomics lab analyzing genetic data, utilized by over 800 practitioners around the world. He has lectured throughout the United States and abroad regarding integrative approaches to disease with a focus on genetics, the microbiome, and toxicities.

Alex Zaharakis, MA, MS, DABR is a grateful husband and father of two beautiful children. His interest in the microbiome and biomedical healing is driven by his son's regressive autism at 17 months, after a culmination and spark of several timely medical insults several of which were microbiome focused. Alex has devoted his spare time and efforts to researching and learning about the microbiome while helping other parents to navigate the biomedical and microbiome issues experienced in autism to develop strategies for intervention. Alex is a licensed and board-certified Medical Physicist in Radiation Oncology, a scientist with background in physics, mathematics, and biology who has utilized his life experiences to develop an analytical method for quantifying and intervening with intestinal dysbiosis which he believes to be significant in the development and severity of autism and other disease states. He has devoted his personal time to studying the microbiome through analysis of 16s type sequencing, and he has developed software to analyze raw 16s data and provide suggestions to improve dysbiosis in a targeted manner. Alex feels that providing support for dysbiosis is a direct window into increasing the quality of life for all individuals, including his own son which has been the driving force in the work that he does.
