Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
4th in a series of cardiovascular inflammation testing: Myeloperoxidase. There is an unusual problem here that causes some fear and drama. This test is the most common FALSE POSITIVE. However, even experienced practitioners call it the joker. By calling it the joker, they mean it can kill even when all other types of inflammatory markers are negative. So, I simply tell patients that. And I tell them we'll repeat the test. And meanwhile, I start them on the treatment - Melatonin.
Myeloperoxidase is an enzyme released by the granules of neutrophils (also called granular leukocytes or polymorphonucleocytes). This enzyme kills and digests foreign bodies. It gives the green tint to mucus.
