The integration of Tibetan and functional medicines with applications to the clinical care and research of neurological disorders

Title : The integration of Tibetan and functional medicines with applications to the clinical care and research of neurological disorders

Abstract:

Current concepts in Tibetan medicine have been in practice for over 1500 years. We have previously shown that Tibetan medical theories are consistent at the microscopic molecular level and macroscopic whole-body level for the understanding of myelin lipids and multiple sclerosis. We have since added functional medicine system biology theories and approaches for an integrative approach in the clinic and find that the use of functional labs provides an optimal outcome for assessing the effects of Tibetan medicine in the clinic and in clinical research. This includes evaluations of the gut microbiome, genetics, and gene expression. We share the overlap of Tibetan and functional medicines as relates to nervous system disorders by comparing and contrasting multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. We share how the use of functional labs correlates with Tibetan medical theories to provide optimal outcomes for monitoring the effects of Tibetan medicine. Similarly, the theories of Tibetan medicine can help simplify complex laboratory data into meaningful patterns and we provide examples of a variety of functional labs that are utilized to help determine Tibetan herb and herb/mineral formulations. This also allows targeting of nutritional supplements to help stabilize nervous system imbalance. In addition, we review the integration of the Neubie direct current device for helping to restore nerve conduction and function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and atrial fibrillation. The integration of Tibetan and functional medicines and the Neubie direct current electrical stimulation device provide a synergy that optimizes clinical healing outcomes. We believe this approach is also beneficial for other Traditional medicines.

Biography:

Dr. Cynthia Husted, PhD, is a medical researcher and the founder and president of the Science and Spirit Institute. She obtained a Ph.D. in physical chemistry with a focus on nuclear magnetism and quantum mechanics as a possible link to the energy concepts of traditional medicines. She has had a varied and integrative approach to university scientific research of neurological disorders during the past 40 years with approaches in physics, neuroscience, traditional, integrative, and functional medicines, including longstanding interests in the concepts of energy as relates to healing from perspectives in physics and traditional medicines, particularly from the view of Tibetan medicine. The recent formation of the 501(c)3 non-profit the Science and Spirit Institute is the culmination of her lifelong interests in physics and research with a focus on healthy longevity and restoring balance in neurological disorders and other chronic illness, including autoimmunity, mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and atrial fibrillation. Her approach is on the mind, body, spirit connection to all through better understanding of the universal unlimited energy.
