What Is TruDOSE™?
It’s a treatment where we draw your own blood, concentrate the platelets to a dose specific, disease condition specific concentration meant only for you, and then it’s re-infused back into you. So, its your own blood healing your own body!
​
The reason we utilize this therapy is because it has shown great results helping patients with all kinds of disease conditions get symptom relief and even reverse their conditions. Its safe, and because its your own blood, there is very minimal risk.
Understanding Systemic Inflammation
Unresolved immune and repair issues cause systemic inflammation and break the body down (see video above). These unresolved issues force the body to sequentially shut off functions (cellular, organ, and metabolic) in an order only the body knows. As functions shut down in the body, symptoms arise along with disease conditions. This cycle keeps repeating itself until the body is simply stuck perpetually in a state of systemic inflammation.
What's the treatment process like?
The whole process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You come in and fill out some symptom questionnaires. You then have your finger pricked and a few drops of blood will be taken for measurement. After the software determines a personalized treatment, you’ll have your blood drawn…similar to having blood lab work done. An IV line will be put into your arm and blood will be drawn…somewhere between 4–8 tablespoons of blood. That blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. After the centrifuge has processed your blood, your treatment will be ready to be infused back into you. After the treatment, you will stay for a few minutes just for observation and then you will be free to go.
Are there any risks?
To date, there have been thousands of treatments done across the US at other clinics and nobody has reported any side effects or complications. It’s your own blood going back in to your body…nothing more.
​
​Even though this is not a bad effect, there is a 50% chance that you could experience a herx reaction. The herx should only last 2-3 days. Some patients who have neurological conditions could experience pain that they otherwise did not have before the treatment. This is completely normal. Feeling pain is a good sign of healing inflammation happening. It’s a sign the body is waking up the nervous system. When you wake up the nervous system, it can feel painful. Think of sitting on your foot and making it go to sleep and then standing up.
What should I expect/do after treatment?
This depends on the individual and the disease condition. Each person’s healing progress will be slightly different…even if two people have the same disease condition. You should experience effects from the treatment within 24-72 hours. Some people have immediate effects before they leave the office. A majority of people experience great sleep, energy, cognitive improvement, and other small improvements to their body within the first 24-72 hour timeframe.
​
The treatment effects and benefits will continue up until the 8-12 week mark. All of the little benefits your body had been experiencing will maintain, and that will become your body’s new normal or homeostasis or balance. That’s when you need to get the next treatment because the benefits will build from there.
​
After treatment, you should take it easy. Your body will be experiencing a metabolic boost and everything will start working again. Even though you might feel the best you’ve felt in a long time, you should avoid excessive exercise or activities, or stressful events on the body. We want you to give your body time to work itself out.
