What is Microdose Therapy™?

Microdose Therapy™ is a physician-supervised, FDA compliant, university-tested, patent pending treatment for inflammation and symptoms of auto-immune diseases. It was developed by Dr. Virgil Stenberg, Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor of Chemistry (retired) in order to cure his wife, Helen's pain and suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

How many people, besides Helen, have tried Microdose Therapy™?

Over 4,000 to date.

What diseases does Microdose Therapy™ treat?

All diseases of the auto--immune variety. The one thing they all have in common is inflammation.

• Arthritis in all its forms - rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.
• Fibromyalgia
• Parkinson's Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease)
  
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Asthma,
• and many, many more

How is that even possible?

The one thing all these diseases have in common is inflammation. Microdose Therapy™ eliminates inflammation, and the heat, redness, pain and swelling associated with it, whereever it occurs in the body.

Does Microdose Therapy™ have side effects?

Microdose Therapy™ has no adverse side effects. We can say this with confidence after 20 years of treating individuals with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and a host of other inflammation-based maladies.
The Arthritis Foundation confirmed this in 1993, saying "Microdose Therapy™...has very few, if any, side effects."

What is cortisone?

Cortisone is a natural hormone in the body, produced by your adrenal glands. You always have cortisone in your blood stream. If you ever lost the ability to produce cortisone, you would get Addison's disease and die very quickly, unless you could replace the cortisone in your system.


Doesn't cortisone have side effects?

Not in the normal amounts you should have in your body. The only adverse side effects occur when cortisone is over-dosed - giving much more than the naturally occuring amounts over a long period of time. In short, you can't get side effects from your own body's hormone, only from overdosing on it.

Is there a guarantee that Microdose Therapy™ will work for me?

Of course not! Even aspirin doesn't work for everyone. Your family doctor can't give any guarantees, even if he wanted to (which no reputable physician would ever do). Some things work for some people, and not for others. That is why there are so many medicines which do the same thing (for low level pain relief you have aspirin, ibuprofin, Tylenol, and more.)


Have there been any clinical studies on Microdose Therapy™?

Yes.  These clinical studies were performed years ago, with astonishing results - they exceeded everyone's expectations in the best possible way! We will post the details on these clinical studies shortly. Much of the information is available through Dr. Stenberg's book "Arthritis: The Simple Solution."

If Microdose Therapy™ supplies cortisol that my adrenal glands produce, won't they just atrophy and stop making it altogether?

They would if you just kept taking cortisone daily. In the Microdose Therapy™ program, you are shown how to take a cortisone holiday, that is, specific days without taking cortisone. This forces your adrenal glands to keep active and keep producing the cortisone you need to survive. This way, you never become entirely dependent on oral cortisone. You still have control.

Why does the doctor give cortisol shots to an injured or painful joint (which help alot)? Aren't they worried about overdosing a patient with cortisone in the shot?

Doctors know that the amount of time a cortisone shot stays in the body is limited. In order to overdose on a shot, you would have to receive massive amounts of cortisone over a period of time. Large amounts of cortisone directly relieve inflammation caused from injury, illness, allergy or stress. This is exactly why cortisone works in those shots. The trick is using it to prevent flare ups in physiologically normal amounts, only when needed. And that is what Microdose Therapy™ is all about.
