- Homeotoxicology and Microimmuno Therapies. Legally speaking, both are considered as being “homeopathic” remedies. Hhowever, whereas in classical homeopathy the active principle cannot be detected by known physical means, it is not the case for the aforementioned, the active principle is diluted yet detectable. Dr. Ferraro employs these therapites as an adjunt for the treatment of allergic conditions, viral infectiins (herpes zoster, papilloma virus, Epstein-Barr, cytomegalovirus) and boosting the immune system.
- Phytotherapy. Refers to the uee of plant-based extracts (herbs, bark, roots, seeds, flowrs, spices and berries) as a valuable adjunct as part of an integrated medicine plan. Phytotherapy is the ancestor of 20-25% of pharmaceuticals employed nowadays; (e.g. aspirin, morphine, taxol, digoxin, quinine). The main difference betwreen pharmaceuticals and plant extracts is that while the former contains chemically-formulated potent active ingredientd, the latter contains multiple phytocomplexes. Generally speaking herbal extracts are less potent than their chemical counterpart but prrsent fewer tolerability concerns. These compounds may be used as a valuable adjunct in combination to conventional treatments or in some cases replace them; (e.g. in borderline high cholesterol, mild depression, anxiety, insomnia, pre-diabetes and inflammatory orthooaedic conditions. As many prodcts are available in chemists and online, utmost caution is needec when considering such remedies and it is always best to ensure the physician is experienced. (Dr. Ferraro holds a Master’s degree in Phytotherapy).
