Proud to share a new publication in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology: our one-year study of ruxolitinib 1.5% cream in 103 teens with mild-to-moderate eczema found it was well tolerated, with no serious safety signals and skin involvement dropping from ~9% of the body to 2.5% by week 8 and holding steady through 52 weeks. Grateful to the patients and families who participated and to my research team. 🙏 Open access: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40257-026-01043-0 — funded by Incyte Corporation.

Looking for answers to alpha-gal syndrome? It’s a condition in which allergic sensitization to mammalian meats occurs after tick bites. This is evidence of an external event causing a new food allergy to arise in the genetically susceptible person. The condition is a true allergy, and can result in hives, GI distress, and even severe anaphylaxis. It cannot be solved by chiropractic manipulation. The syndrome should be managed by allergy/immunology ABAI board certified specialists. We have expert guidance and treatment available to you to alleviate the burden for food allergies. Give us a call. 309-452-0995 or 217-717-4404. MASA Food Allergy Center for Treatment.

Why Upright Exercise Fails for POTS (and How to Fix It) 🩺👇

If you are living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), you have likely been told to exercise more. But there is a massive roadblock: standing up to work out triggers the exact racing heart, dizziness, and fatigue you are trying to avoid.

The secret to breaking this cycle? Start horizontal.

Midwest Allergy Sinus Asthma SC's latest patient guide explains the physiology of POTS deconditioning and why the "golden rule" of recovery requires keeping your heart below your head for the first 1 to 2 months.

Learn how to safely build blood volume and cardiac strength using recumbent exercise (like rowing, swimming, and recumbent cycling) before ever attempting to stand.

If you watched the most recent episode of "The Pitt," you may have questions about the safety of turmeric supplements. Can they really damage your liver?

A recent survey indicates that more than 50 percent of adults in the United States look for health information on social media, particularly related to wellness and holistic medicine. Various supplements are touted as providing physical, mental and emotional health benefits.

However, some of those herbal and dietary supplements can actually cause liver damage or other serious health problems, said Joseph K. Lim, MD, a hepatologist and gastroenterologist at Yale New Haven Health who specializes in treating liver diseases. Dr. Lim is also a professor of Medicine at Yale School of Medicine.

“It’s estimated that 20 percent of drug-induced liver injuries in the U.S. are related to herbal and dietary supplements,” Dr. Lim said.
Take turmeric, for example. The spice contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric is a popular dietary supplement promoted as a natural remedy to improve a variety of conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, depression and allergies. While the spice itself is generally regarded as safe, turmeric supplements can cause liver damage if taken at high dosages.
