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 […]
