Osteoporosis treatment may do more harm than good.

Australian research study reveals a class of popular osteoporosis medication could be contributing to rather than preventing fractures… Read more. To optimize bone health, Dr. Jaffe recommends eating an immune-tolerant alkaline diet, maintaining 1st AM urine pH between 6.5 – 7.5, and taking a comprehensive mineral complex.  It takes much more than just calcium and […]

First Line Comprehensive Care Part II:

Managing Persisting Bio-accumulating Pollutants: Toxic Minerals, Biocides, Hormone Mimics, Solvents, and Chemical DisruptorsRussell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, NACBFirst line comprehensive care is an increasingly sought choice by patients, clinicians, and frontier scientists, looking functionally for causes; recognizing the role of the integration of mind and body; appreciating our adaptation to our environment; using predictive and […]

ACAM – Nov 12 – 15, 2015

Full Day WorkshopThursday, Nov 12, 2015, Red Rock Resort, Las Vegas, NVACAM invites you to attend this new and exciting workshop with Dr. Russell Jaffe. By the end of this workshop, attendees will know what predictive biomarkers are and how to use them in practice, understand the difference between standard tests and functional predictive tests, […]

Lecture on Functional Immunology

ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies founder, Dr. Russell Jaffe, recently lectured on the topic of functional immunology to students of National University of Health Sciences.  Joined by former NUHS faculty Dr. Erica Mennerik, the two presented the foundations and practical applications of functional immunology, including numerous case reports documenting success in removing obstacles to repair and evoking the […]

First Line Comprehensive Care Part I:

Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, NACBThis article addresses aspects of the human healing response in the context of what the evidence supports in the use of functional assays to improve diagnostic precision, patient-specific comprehensive case management, and out-comes monitoring.Essential and innate to human life is our immune system, with a principal action in defense and […]

Predictive Biomarkers

Russell Jaffe MD, PhD, CCN, and Jayashree Mani, MS, CCNPredictive biomarkers are a few tests that can now be referenced to goal values whose interpretation can include a lifestyle action plan that enhances functional cost and outcome effectiveness, adding years to life and life to years.This article addresses:what these predictive biomarkers are and why they […]

The Biochemical-Immunology Window:

Russell Jaffe, MD, Ph.D. and Oscar Rogers Kruesi, MD Molecular regulation of brain metabolism and function can now be measured selectively. Patients with mood and thought disorders can often be classified based on this information. Clinical management can often be improved by therapeutic interventions based on advanced chemical and immunologic testing techniques. The relevant information is […]

Immune Defense and Repair Systems in Biologic Medicine I:

Diagnosis, treatment, tests and interpretation.By Russell Jaffe, MD, Ph.D.,CCNA common clinical assumption is that homeostatic mechanisms and immune defense and repair reserves are intact or can be spontaneously restored. This is not the case in autoimmune illnesses where homeostasis and immune defenses have been disrupted as marked by intracellular acidosis, impaired electron transport, and depletion […]
