Autoimmune Disease & Chronic Illness
Environmental toxins in our modern world are exponentially growing and in turn chronic diseases are increasing at an alarming rate in children and adults. Underneath these chronic diseases is immune system dysfunction and under that is the “why” the immune system became compromised. Autoimmune disease arises when your immune system does not recognize something in your own body and starts misfiring, attempting to get at “it.” This can cause physical damage to your organs – from your thyroid in the case of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis to your joints in the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The problem is that once there is physical damage it becomes harder to reverse, so you want to get an autoimmune condition under control as quickly as possible.
The Deep Dive Difference…
We don’t like to leave any stone unturned. First, we collect a very comprehensive medical history. We’ll ask questions that you have most likely never been asked before… especially by a physician. This intake form is a very important part of the process and needs time and attention, it will include a” timeline” of your history. During the process, we garner very important information which usually reveals some triggering factors. Common ones are a period of extreme stress from life events, exposure to toxins, or perhaps a change in you diet or other toxic exposure etc. From this history one of our expert diagnosticians will make a hypothesis as to what might be the underlying cause of your current medical problem. Then we confirm suspicions with very specific labs using the latest cutting-edge testing. Once all the results are in a Comprehensive Treatment Plan will be shared that includes details on treatments, the order/timing in which they should be delivered and estimated costs. And we walk alongside you every step of the way…
LABS It’s common many patients approach us after years of a downward health spiral with no answers and a pile of lab results. Many others feel that they have never had solid test results or have really gotten to the bottom of the root cause of their issues. Many patients travel great distances to get here that have already gone to many doctors, hospitals and centers abroad without results or answers. We specialize in doing deep-diving medical detective work to get to the bottom of what’s really going on and have a state-of-the-art center in which to implement a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each person.
Do I need to get labs/tests run? We can accept recent labs + relevant tests to review (upload to our patient portal) but in our experience most previous labs are insufficient for the in-depth investigation that we need to unpeel the onion to the bottom. If needed, additional labs will be ordered after your first consult. As an example, this may include blood screening labs, mycotoxin testing (mold) or heavy metal testing and many others.
POWERFUL TREATMENTS We don’t subscribe to doing things in the short run that may hurt in the long run. Deeper Healing uses effective tools that don’t usually involve antibiotics or harsh medications that may mask symptoms but, in the process, disrupt your microbiome, increase inflammation, have terrible side effects and sets you up for the downward spiral. Our goal is to retrain your immune system so that it gets back to functioning normally, doing the important work of protecting you from real threats to your health, while promoting healing. Deeper Healing uses a progressive medical toolbox for healing. Our belief is that your body must do the healing work or you will not experience lasting results.
From Almost Wheelchair Bound to Skiing Again!
Almost 2 1/2 years ago, after a decade of declining health, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. At the time I had difficulty walking, driving my car and even holding a cup of coffee. I had vision, speech and memory prob- lems. I also had severe fatigue and it was quite normal for me to spend half of my day in bed. I started taking daily injections, but things just kept getting worse. I was just a few months away from needing a wheel chair. Then I met Dr. Bauerschmidt who not only took the time to listen, but actually cared. He ran lots of tests and I was off the charts on heavy metals and allergic to lots of different foods. With Dr. Bauerschmidt’s Detox Program, diet and supplements my life has totally turned around. This last winter I went skiing in the Pyrenees Mountains which is something I had never thought I would be able to do again! Last month on a visit to Rome, I walked 8-10 hours a day for 4 days without any problems. Dr. Bauerschmidt gave me my life back. Tone, France
