Free radical damage causing inflammation from a deregulated immune system is at the root of all chronic conditions. Stress is the culprit, and stress may be one or a combination of the following:
Toxic overload of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and synthetic hormones as found in the standard American commercial diet Sugar excess
Chronic anxiety and depression
Metabolic deficiencies of liver, colon and kidney function
Environmental toxins including unhealthy as such as here in San Diego county
Tap water
Use of plastic containers
Every disease that you can think of has inflammation at the root. Dr. Dunn can help assess the different stressors that cause inflammation due to lifestyle and metabolic imbalances leading to chronic sinusitis, earaches, herpes, arthritis and other immune disorders. He knows which tests to run and how to implement an integrated natural treatment plan to correct the underlying cause of chronic disease.

Two common immune system issues are chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIDS) and fibromyalgia. Addressing these and other immuno-deficiency concerns is a specialty area of Dr. Dunn’s. Making the diagnosis and putting together an integrated natural treatment plan for chronic fatigue and or fibromyalgia has been a part of Dr. Dunn’s practice for nearly 20 years.
Treating chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia requires extensive clinical experience which Dr. Dunn has, and the knowledge of appropriate testing to get results. Adrenal cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, antioxidant status, liver function and heavy metal evaluation are a few of the tests commonly used to address this condition.
De-tox and recovery programs are also offered at this clinic for those with multiple chemical sensitivities, hepatitis and long term drug concerns including nicotine and alcohol, although we do not offer in-house care.
