“There are two objects of medical education: to heal the sick and to advance the science.”
- Dr. Charles H. Mayo, MD
“The glory of medicine is that it is always moving forward, that there is always more to learn.”
- Dr. William J. Mayo

![Page 6: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Classic “atypical presentation”• History continued:
– Exhausted/fatigued with multiple vague symptoms for 3 years. Taking naps in car in afternoon while working.
– Intermittently nauseated for last two years. MD ignored him.
• Known attention deficit disorder. Started on lis-dexamfetamine by family physician
• Past history: at 41 yoa – diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Treated with Doxycycline– Ulcer dx by GI doc, with + h. pylori.
• Rx: macrodantin + metronidazole.
– “Pins & needles sensation under skin began – May 2009 (Antihistamine tried – didn’t work. )
![Page 7: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Diagnostic Interventions and Trial Tx• Sleep study – non revealing• IgE food allergy possibility per dermatologist. Anti-
histamine used. Sxs would stop then come back. • Soreness – consulted pain management doctor.
No help. • Transdermal testosterone tried (low normal T) –
no help. • Cholecystectomy – Sept 2009• Severe constipation Dec 2009 – went days
without bowel movement• Colonoscopy – benign. Possible “small bowel
bacterial overgrowth.” ABX used. • Dx’ed with possible Lyme’s – more ABX.
![Page 8: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Other past dx/tx procedures:- CT brain – normal - CT abdomen – normal- HIDA (gallbladder) scan – abnormal
- (Gallbladder subsequently removed)- MRI – lower lumbar – essentially normal but
with slightly bulging disc- MRI – thoracic and cervical – good - Colonoscopy & sigmoidoscopy – benign. - Muscle biopsy – “nerve damage”- Stress EKG and Stress Echocardiogram –
normal.

Lab review – May 2011– Testosterone 460 {300 – 890}– % Free Testosterone 1.4%(L) {1.6 – 2.9%}– CBC shows ANEMIA
• RBC 3.87 (L) {4.5 – 6.0}HGB 12.8 (L) {14 – 17}
• HEMATOCRIT 37% (L) {42 – 51%}
– TFT’s• TSH 1.13• FTI 4.50 (L)• T4 thyroxine 4.9 (L) {6.1 – 12.2}• T3% uptake 36.4% {32 – 48.4$}
– A.m. cortisol 10.4 {5 – 23}

Working hypotheses, treatment• Anemia – etiology unclear• Hypoadrenia• Rule out post-viral fatigue syndrome• Subclinical hypothyroidism• Possible symptoms of low testosterone• Possible IgG food sensitivities (dairy?)• Probable candida (by history) • Low Vitamin D• History of depression and ADHD – on treatment• History of Lyme Disease – allegedly treated
![Page 12: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Initial treatment planning
• Consider transition to compounded porcine thyroid
• Consider testosterone
• Dairy free diet. (based on history)
• Start Xymogen IgG 2000 DF
• NutraProbiotics – one daily
• Get more labs, including IgG
![Page 13: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Interventions and follow-up
• 6/14/2011 – Start NO DAIRY DIET. Baseline medications (incl. Lexapro, T4), continued. Probiotics. Minimize exposure to brewer’s yeast.
• 6/30/11 – better energy. “allergic shiners” gone. (Labs reviewed) – Rx: started DHEA – 50 mg SR; 5HTP – up to
100 mg daily for documented low serotonin. Slight increase in thyroid Rx. Start Nystatin.

Zinc & Testosterone
• Low Zinc- associated with low testosterone– Tsai, E.C., Boyko, E.J., Leonetti, D.L., & Fujimoto, W.Y. (2000).
Low serum testosterone level as a predictor of increased visceral fat in Japanese-American men. International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders, 24, 485-491.
• Per U.S. Department of Agriculture, 60% of US men between 20 – 49 years of age do not get enough.
• Fast food = low zinc = testicular tissue inflammation = decreased testosterone– El-Sewedy MM et al. J Pharm Pharmacol. 2008 Sept;60 (9):1237-
42.

T vs Cognitive Function
Rosario ER. JAMA. 292(2004):1431-2
![Page 20: Introduction to Integrative Medicine for Mental Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a649efa7f8b9a52568b4e6b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
T vs Cognitive Function• 400 independently living men, 40-80yo
– 100 in each age decade– MMSE 21-30, average 28– TT: 208-1141ng/dL; Bio-avail T 78-470ng/dL
• HIGHER T = better cognitive performance in OLDEST AGE category
• Men testosterone in lowest quintile – did worse than men in highest quintile
• Highest Bio-available Testosterone more significant than TOTAL Testosterone, age, intelligence level, mood, smoking, and alcohol.
Muller M. Neurology. 64(2005):866-71

T vs Mood in men
• Study: 278 men, >45yo, followed 2 years
• Compared to eugonadal patients, hypogonadal men w/TT <200ng/dL had – 4-fold increase risk of depression– Significantly shorter time to depression
diagnosis
• Depression risk inversely related to TT w/statistical significance <280ng/dL
Shores MM, Arch Gen Psychiatry. 61(2004):162-7

Low Vitamin D linked to depression[Muhlestein JB et al. Am Heart J, 2010; 159(6):1037-43.
(citation from Dr. Shaw)
• 7,358 patients >/= 50 yoa with CV diagnosis and NO HX of depression
• “Vitamin D levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of depression, compared with optimal vitamin D levels.”
• Optimal level: > 50 ng/ml– Normal 31 – 50 ng/ml– Low: 16 – 30 ng/ml; “very low = < 15 ng/ml

“Pending strong evidence …from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.” Fletcher & Fairfield, JAMA 2002

Ames & Micronutrient Triage - deconstructed
1. Inadequate dietary intakes of vitamins/minerals are widespread. [United States & Brazil are not exceptions!]
– Excessive consumption of energy-rich, micronutrient-poor, refined food
1. Deficiencies in many micronutrients cause DNA damage in cultured or living human cells.
2. Proposal: DNA damage and late onset disease are consequences of a triage allocation based on micronutrient scarcity.
– Natural selection favors short-term survival at expense of long-term health.

Ames & Micronutrient Triage - deconstructed
4. If proposal is correct, “micronutrient deficiencies that trigger the triage response would accelerate cancer, aging, and neural decay but would leave critical metabolic functions, such as ATP production, intact.”
5. “A multivitamin-mineral supplement is one low-cost way to ensure intake of the Recommended Dietary Allowance of micronutrients throughout life.”

CONCLUSIONS: Only few studies have been performed and enrolled populations from south/southeast region of Brazil. The actual Identification and background information: [Iodine Deficiency Disorder] prevalence analysis is complex because it was detected bias due influence of individual studies and very high heterogeneity. IDD might still be high in some areas but this remained unknown even after this meta-analysis evaluation. The generation of a national program for analysis of iodine status in all regions is urgently required.
