It is defined by orthostatic intolerance with excessive heart rate increase on standing without sustained orthostatic hypotension, plus symptoms. In most people no single cause is found. Research describes subtypes / mechanisms and many associated conditions and triggers. This is not medical advice. For diagnosis and […]

A landmark study led by Dr. Monica Embers at Tulane University (published in Frontiers in Microbiology) demonstrated that while conventional 28-day single antibiotic courses (monotherapy) consistently failed to eradicate persistent Borrelia burgdorferi, specific drug combinations successfully cleared the infection. [1, 2] The validated regimens broken down by their combination structures include: Effective Dual-Antibiotic Combinations Effective Triple-Antibiotic Combinations Core Mechanistic Insights & Next Steps References See

**Vitamin D3, parathyroid, calcium level, albumin checked?High blood calcium is called hypercalcemia. The two leading causes are overactive parathyroid glands and cancer. Many other causes are possible, including medicines, excess supplements, and certain inflammatory diseases. A high total calcium result should be interpreted with albumin and, when appropriate, ionized calcium, which measures the active calcium directly. Dehydration or abnormal blood proteins can raise total
