Loving the cool breezes coming our way, and seeing the subtle yellow aspen hues, and reds in the willows signaling early fall. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer. Nice to be mostly back to normal this summer and to experience the freedom we had pre-pandemic. Above is a short video updating you on my latest recommendations and practice updates. Below are a few quick links to help you stay healthy this fall season. Come see me this fall if it's been a while since your last visit. We have some new advanced diagnostic tools to screen for cancer and cardiovascular health that are worth considering.
Best in health,
Fred and the RevolutionaryMD team
Bivalent Covid-19 Booster details and Recommendations-
- This new booster vaccine includes components of both the original strain and the more recent omicron variants (BA.4 & BA.5)
-
Moderna Bivalent booster can be given to anyone 18yrs or older >2 months after last Covid vaccine .
-
Pfizer Bivalent booster can be given to anyone over 12 yrs old who is >2 months since last Covid shot.
- Best to stay with original brand of your primary series when possible, but ok to do bivalent of either brand as long as 18 or older. Stay with Pfizer if under 18.
- Wait 2-3 months from last Covid infection before doing this booster if applies.
- The new bivalent is better at generating neutralizing antibodies compared to the old ones.
- Similar side effects, so if you're like me and get the ass kicking reaction, do it in the afternoon and take the next day off. Otherwise ok to do it anytime.
-
Take oral glutathione (s-acetylglutathione or liposomal glutathione)orderlink and Curcumin (tumeric) order 2 days prior to vaccine, day of and for a week after to reduce inflammatory response of vaccine. We have in office or can order online on Xymogen site by links above and use code Revmd if prompted if you have not used wholescripts before.
-
Timing- I'd recommend waiting till mid to late October to hold you for the 3-4 months of winter. If you are at high risk due to chronic disease, age, or cancer, can do now, and repeat in December.
- Consider earlier if there is a sudden surge, or if you are planning to travel abroad soon. Keep up with a KN-95 of planes.
-
Q&A on booster by Scientific American article.
- FDA summary of booster recommendations
- Where can I get a booster or start the Covid vaccination?
What about a Flu shot?
- Get one 2-3 wks after your Bivalent Covid booster if possible, but ok to combine if needed.
- Strongly recommended if you are a higher risk individual or lots of exposures like me.
- I have 60 doses of preservative-free in office at 25 bucks each.
- You can get them at grocery store or pharmacy if desired as well, but likely not preservative free.
IV therapies
We continue to see amazing results with improved energy and focus with NAD+ and Fast Vitamin (Brain Refuel protocol). This can also help fight depression. Recently we added methylene blue IV infusions which can also help with cognition/mood by increasing ATP production and oxygen utilization. Let us know if you are interested in experiencing one or both! Post Covid inflammation can be treated with our high dose IV glutathione, NAD+ and is important to consider soon after resolution of Covid to help reduce risk of long covid syndrome.
Alma Duo Therapy-
Struggling in the bedroom? We have the best device on the market that improves bloodflow/sensation in a remarkable way with 75% success rate on average after 6 sessions. Learn more. Now also approved for women to improve sensation to the analagous organ. This fall we are offering 10% thru end of November if you mention this promotion.
Ketamine-
Stuggling with anxiety, depression or PTSD? This therapeutic medicine administered safely in our office by IM route can offer a reset and a letting go to help you reduce situational stress and improve mood. A much healthier way than resorting to alcohol and actually can help reduce alcohol addiction.
Vote Yes on Access to Natural Medicine proposition #122 this November!!
Please vote yes for the important proposition #122 and encourage your Colorado friends and family to do the same. I've seen so many patients effectively self treat themselves with psilocybin and other plant medicines when traditional psychotropics (Paxil, Zoloft, Cymbalta, etc) have failed, or created untolerable side-effects and or blunting.
Cognitive optimization and preventative strategies-
Many of my over 50 patients are worried about Alzheimers and cognitive decline related to aging and/or family history. Heart disease and cancer are up there in the top 3 too.
We are offering many therapies in the office that can help reduce your risk of Alzheimers. A few examples include:
-
NAD+ therapy with Fast Vitamin (Brain Refuel Protocol)
- Methylene Blue IV
-
Ketamine therapy and enhanced cognitive function article
- Mindful based strategies and lifestyle coaching to reduce cortisol and enhance bloodflow to your brain.
- Near infrared light therapy to brain.
-
Photic light therapy, gamma frequency
- Hormone balancing
-
Peptide therapy to stimulate BDNF and reduce amyloid plaque. We now have both Semax and Selank nasal spray in stock.
- Nutritional coaching
- Treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD with a combination of these therapies can also reduce your risk of cognitive impairment and alzheimers.
Grail/Galleri early cancer detection gene test-
We are now offering the Galleri test to help detect signals of 21 common cancers. This is not a perfect test, but can offer a reasonable opportunity for early detection via a simple blood test. This does not replace traditional screening such as colonoscopy, mammo or prostate cancer screen, but can complement it. It costs $949 via lab, but this is actually reasonable given the number of tests performed. Read more here. More info on the specifics of test.
Hopefully most of you know by now that Colorectal cancer screening is now recommended to start at 45 and not 50, please let us know if you need a referral to be screened. See current guideline here.
Cleerly Heart Scanning- For those over 50 or who are at an elevated risk for heart disease may want to consider the CT angiogram with AI evaluation Cleerly heart scan. It offers both a calcium score analysis as well as a view of whether you have narrowing of a coronary artery and if you have stable hard plaque vs unstable soft plaque. Here is a sample report. We also now have the Prevencio heart screening blood test which can be done as initial screen along with cholesterol testing to determine if you are higher risk and could benefit from a Cleerly scan. Or it can be done during the same month to review with Dr. G for a comprehensive picture.
Skin Care Promo!
10% off on Voluma, and other fillers till end of November! Botox at same great price of $12/unit. Get yourself looking 10 yrs younger now!
