The FACA Treatment program is a bio-equivalent hormone replacement therapy utilizing findings that were developed through a double-blind cross-over study at a major university, and published in the medical journals in the early 1990's.
The program was originally developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. While treating the patients with R/A a remarkable finding was made. The patients that had other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases found the other diseases were also coming under control equally well.
The patients with fibromyalgia were reporting an average symptom relief of 75%, within weeks. The physicians then realized there was a common denominator. The patients bodies were no longer able to produce a pulse of cortisol to stop the inflammatory process when it was no longer needed. All the physicians had to do is teach the patient to replace the missing cortisol, like diabetics do insulin.
Problem: this must be customized for each patient. The patient must be monitored weekly. When using hormones, minimum is optimum. How do we minimize the intake thus eliminating side effects from over dose?
In order to eliminate side effects from over dose, we must mimic what the body did when it was healthy. This means the dosages will be different for each patient.
To minimize the intake of cortisol, we must work with each patient to help them determine what their triggers are. We must help the patient eliminate as many triggers as possible.
To administer a treatment protocol such as this, a team of specialists are assigned to each patient:
1. A specially trained educator
2. A counselor that is available 24/7.
3. A data input specialist to track symptom relief on a graphic progress report
4. A local physician, trained in this procedure.
Utilizing this treatment protocol, physicians around the country are now helping us get this treatment to the public. They have informed us that they are seeing few, if any, side effects and the patients are reporting an average of 75% relief.
Unfortunately, most physicians do not have the time to administer a complex treatment like this on their own. Thus the opening of our centers around the country. We do the monitoring and education of the patients and the physicians do the doctoring.
