What is Microdose Therapy™?
Microdose Therapy™ is a proprietary treatment protocol involving very small, controlled doses of medications that stimulate healing without the side effects typically associated with higher doses. It’s especially effective in conditions that respond to cortisone or other anti-inflammatory treatments.
How is Microdose Therapy™ different from conventional treatments?
Unlike standard high-dose medications, Microdose Therapy™ aims to reset the body’s inflammatory response with minimal medication. This reduces risks of side effects while still providing symptom relief.
Is Microdose Therapy™ safe?
Yes. Because the therapy uses ultra-low doses, it greatly minimizes the risks and side effects often seen with traditional medications like steroids or NSAIDs. All treatments are closely monitored and tailored to the individual.
What conditions does Microdose Therapy™ help with?
Microdose Therapy™ has shown effectiveness in a wide range of inflammation-based and cortisone-responsive conditions, including:
• Fibromyalgia
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Lupus
• Psoriasis
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
• Tendonitis and Bursitis
Is Microdose Therapy™ effective for Fibromyalgia?
Yes. Many patients with fibromyalgia experience reduced pain, improved energy, and better sleep quality with Microdose Therapy™, due to its targeted anti-inflammatory and regulatory effects.
Can it help if I’ve already tried cortisone or steroids with limited success?
Yes. Microdose Therapy™ may be effective even for those who have had limited or short-term success with traditional steroid therapy, because it works differently and addresses inflammation at a micro-immunological level.
What is the treatment process like?
You will begin with a personalized assessment to identify your inflammatory profile. The treatment involves periodic microdoses administered according to a proprietary schedule. Most therapies are non-invasive and can be done in-office or under clinical supervision.
How soon will I notice results?
Some patients report improvement within days, while others may take a few weeks. Results depend on your specific condition, its severity, and how your body responds.
Do I need to stop my current medications?
Not necessarily. Microdose Therapy™ can often be used alongside existing treatments. However, your care provider will guide you to ensure safe integration or gradual tapering if needed.
Is Microdose Therapy™ FDA approved?
The therapy uses medications that are FDA-approved for various indications. However, Microdose Therapy™ as a protocol is a specialized, integrative approach and may be considered off-label depending on the condition.
Where is the therapy offered?
Treatments are currently available through the Helen Foundation’s clinical locations or affiliated practitioners. Virtual consultations may also be available in select cases.
Is this covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Some components may be reimbursable under out-of-network benefits. We can assist with documentation and provide a superbill for potential reimbursement.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for Microdose Therapy™?
The best way is to schedule a consultation. We’ll evaluate your symptoms, history with inflammation-based conditions, and previous responses to medications to see if this approach is right for you.
