- ArthritisEnbrel is a drug used for the treatment of Psoriatic arthritis and other auto-immune diseases. Enbrel is a large molecule, so when given as an injection or IV in the arm it cannot pass the blood-brain barrier. However, research has shown that if Enbrel is injected into the vertebral vascular system the drug goes directly into the central nervous system i.e. the spine and brain.

- SciaticaFoundational Health Center has begun using ozone in addition to PRP treatments to increase the oxygen content to the stressed area of the body, taking PRP therapy to a whole new level of effectiveness. We have seen very encouraging results from this form of treatment, not only for common joint issues and wounds, but also people with various back problems such as sciatica or disc problems. This treatment, called Prolozone, aims to not only be highly effective in helping relieve pain, but to aid the healing process, possibly helping to even regenerate cartilage.
- Joint ReplacementAccording to a well-known orthopedic journal, a study was conducted using HGH for arthritis; 93% of the patients treated with HGH injections in arthritic joints avoided total joint replacement and other surgeries.
- Hip Replacement“In 2016 I visited the Young Foundational Health Center because my health was failing. I had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and told I needed hip replacement surgery. I was also prescribed medicine that I decided I would not take because I felt there was another method of healing that would be effective. My body was also very frail. When Dr. Young consulted with me, he asked what I ate on a daily basis. Even though I felt it was healthy food, it wasn't much and it lacked essential nutrients. Dr. Young asked me several times, "What proteins are you eating?" I ate fruits and vegetables, but it was clear to Dr. Young that I wasn't getting the proper proteins. He had me take protein supplements and told me to increase the amount of foods with protein that I ate. I am happy to report I am no longer frail and walking with the assistance of a walker. My body continues to strengthen and heal daily. Thank you Dr. Young.”
- BotoxThis summer we are serial casting his legs. His physical therapist and OT has wanted to cast him for years but we were always hesitant because with his previous level of stiffness we thought the turning in of his feet would revert right back after the casts were off. The umbilical cord blood stem cells have decreased the stiffness to the point where we believe the serial casting will be an effective treatment for him. Also, when Tyce receives his Botox injections, we no longer have to put half the dose into his right hip area, so that allows us to focus on his lower left leg. Prior to the cord blood, his right hip area was almost just as tight as his left hip area, and now the Botox injections are not even needed on that side! Which is huge and definitely because of the stem cell treatments.
- Ulcer“I am 66 years old and for the last 5 years have been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney disease with an initial EGFR of 51. I have been treated with various blood pressure medicine and diuretics to help my Kidneys and was seeing a nephrologist 2 times a year until Jan of this year when my EGFR was 42 and she told me I didn’t need to go back until my test was under 30. In May it dropped to 39 and then again in June to 34. I had started a weight loss program I heard on the radio and had listened to the broadcast on how functional medicine looked to find the cause rather than just treat the symptoms. I saw Dr. Young in June and he suggested I try extended fasting as well as Renadyl for my kidneys. The fast was for water or tea only and taking no medication. I fasted 3 weeks but had to stop due to stomach upset. I have history of stomach ulcer. I had blood tests taken and returned to Dr Young with my EGFR of 50. Yeah....level of 5 years ago. I am thrilled. We are dealing with my stomach issues and hope to be able to try the fast again. Thank you Dr. Young for not just telling me to wait for my kidney function to get worse before you do anything. I couldn’t be happier and have a better peace of mind as I do not want to spend my retirement years on dialysis. I am excited to continue to find out how to help my body function better and be as healthy as I can.”

- AllergiesAt Young Foundational Health Center we do not do the traditional Type 1 allergy testing which most people are familiar with. Type 1 allergy testing consists of a series of pin pricks to the skin and monitoring for a resulting allergic reaction. Typically, a reaction from Type 1 testing results in a reaction in under an hour’s time as in the case of hives or breathing trouble following the eating of peanuts by someone allergic to peanuts.
