Foods That Stimulate the Immune System
We have done a lot of research in developing what we call the Hauser diet. This diet represents general recommendations that may be modified slightly to adjust to individual metabolic differences. We want to remind you that there is no one perfect diet for everyone. Our clinic is known as an interventional natural medicine clinic that practices science-based interventional natural medicine.

NUTRITION FOR BETTER CIRCULATION
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Natural medicine doctors are continually faced with patients with poor circulation due to some factor causing an excessive amount of blood clotting. The most common reason for this is a diet high in saturated fat and sugar. Thus when a patient starts on a high-protein (low-fat), low-carbohydrate diet (rich in vegetables), this will have a positive effect on the blood clotting parameters.
Another common cause of excessive blood clotting is infection. It is common when the bowels are tested in patients to find intestinal dysbiosis or the growth of many potentially harmful organisms such as parasites, fungi, or abnormal bacteria.
This is treated by giving the person soil-based organisms such as acidophilus and bifidus, as well as medications directed toward the organism(s) in question. The most common medications we use are antifungals.
An often overlooked cause of procoagulant activity is heavy metals. In one study, it was found that mercury caused a 56-fold increase in the rate of thrombin formation when platelets were subjected to it.
Heavy metal toxicity causing a coagulopathy would be one indication for chelation therapy. Chelation therapy involves the intravenous injection of an amino acid derivative, such as DMPS or EDTA.
Supplement wise...there are many different methods to decrease blood coagulopathies, including nutriceutical products, for example, cod liver oil, garlic, curcumin, horse chestnut, bromelain, pycnogenol, vitamin E, and many others.

NUTRITION AND JOINT PAIN
Ross Hauser, M.D.
Pseudo-gout is a condition that causes pain, redness, heat and swelling in one or more joints. Pseudo-gout is caused by deposits of calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate crystals in a joint, which weakens the cartilage and causes it to break down more easily. The presence of these crystals in the joints and the body’s reaction to these crystals, create inflammation to attack these crystals.
-
Pseudo-Gout is also referred to as a form of arthritis. For this, Pantothenic Acid and Glucosamine can be taken. Also applying DMSO can help relieve some of the pain. And Bromelain can be taken.
-
Some causes of pseudo-gout may be lack of Vitamin E and digestive enzyme deficiency.
-
Over time, the crystal calcium deposits can weaken the cartilage and cause it to degenerate. For this I would take Pro Cartilage. Prolotherapy can be used on the effected areas.
-
Pseudo-gout is also known to be associated with thyroid and parathyroid disorders. Ask your physician for a Hormone Test and a Thyroid Profile.
-
You may take Cod Liver Oil to help with joint lubrication as well as Super Omega.
-
A change in diet is necessary. Patients should avoid polyunsaturated vegetable oils, all sources of trans fatty acids such as margarine and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Instead your diet should include omega 3 fatty acids and flax seeds. Patients should also take a potent antioxidant.
