Personalized Integrative Oncology: State of the Science by Dr Michael Traub, ND, DHANP, FABNO
Patient use of integrative oncology (the inclusion of nonconventional treatments alongside the conventional standard of care) continues to grow, with some studies showing its use in cancer patients to be as high as 91%.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Rosacea: The Gut-Skin Connection by Dr Michael Traub, ND, DHANP, FABNO
Increasing evidence suggests that the gut-skin axis is implicated in the pathogenesis of rosacea. Sufficient data exists to support the concept that the gut microbiome plays a role in the inflammatory cutaneous response and there appears to be associations with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and Helicobacter pylori infection. A dysbiotic microbiome and an innate immune system dysregulation […]
Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO): what is the evidence? by Dr Michael Traub, ND, DHANP, FABNO
Published data based on duodenal aspirated juice in patients with persistent unexplained GI symptoms has shown that 25% have exclusive small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO), 30% have exclusive SIBO, and 45% have mixed SIBO and SIFO. Stool tests are not an accurate test for SIFO due to the fact that there is an abundance of […]

Integrative Approach to Psoriasis, by Dr Michael Traub, ND, DHANP, CCH, FABNO
Psoriasis is a severe, common, multifaceted chronic immune-mediated systemic inflammatory disease resulting from genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Inflammation driven by tumor necrosis factor-α/interleukin-23/interleukin-17 axis is now known to be the major mechanism in the development of psoriasis. In addition, psoriasis has an autoimmune nature that manifests as autoreactive T cells and is co-morbid […]
