How We Approach Chronic Conditions
We don't chase symptoms. We find out WHY they're happening.
Some chronic conditions are driven by underlying toxins like mold, viruses like EBV, bacteria, or hidden infections such as Lyme disease. Most chronic conditions are also driven by or caused by deeper imbalances in the body, such as inflammation, hormone disruption, gut dysfunction, immune dysregulation, or nutrient deficiencies. Our job is to identify those underlying issues or imbalances and create a personalized plan to restore your health.
Gut & Digestive Issues
OUR FOCUS: GI Mapping, microbiome analysis, and gut healing protocols.
- Gut: Pain, Stinging, Burning, Cramping, Upset Stomach
- IBS (IBS, IBS-C, IBS-D)
- Bloating, Gas, Burping, Belching, Flatulence
- Reflux/GERD
- Food Allergies and Sensitivities
- Leaky Gut
- Chronic Constipation or Diarrhea
- H-Pylori
- Parasites
- SIBO/SIFO - Bacterial or Fungal Overgrowth
- Dysbiosis and Microbiome imbalance
- Nausea or Vomiting
- Candida
The Gut is one of our areas of excellence for our Doctors and Nurse Practitioner. Many Patients with gut issues, have an abundance of bad bacteria like H-pylori, C-Diff, Escherichia coli (E. Coli) or SIBO in the gut biome. They often also have virus, and candida or fungal overgrowth like SIFO. Some have leaky-gut that need addressing. Some can be even hidden in or under a biome film. Our True Gut Detox Program removes the biofilm and kills these bad actors. The Gut and the treatment of the gut is one of our areas of excellence. We love treating the Gut and restoring the microbiome.
After removing bad bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungal overgrowth from the microbiome we now must fix the leaky gut and then add and restore good bacteria. This will get the body digesting and absorbing nutrients again.
COVID, Long Covid, Long-Haul Covid, Covid Longhaulers and Spike Protein Detox
OUR FOCUS: Quantify COVID Spike Protein from Infection, Vaccination, or Shedding. Detox the Spike Protein from the body. Immune Support,
- Fatigue
- Brain Fog
- Shortness of Breath
- Whole Body Pain
- Organ Damage
- Inflammation
Millar Functional Medicine has been selected to be one of the few clinics in the US that can test for COVID Spike Protein quantity. We have been on the forefront of treating COVID related illness and conditions including COVID, Long COVID, or Longhaulers and many others. But up until now, we were never able to measure the quantity of the Spike Protein in the body from COVID or from the Vaccine. NOW WE CAN. This is NOT a PCR test or not a test that measures the body's antibodies to SARS-Cov-2 virus. This test measures the quantity of the viruses in the body.
The treatment of Long Covid also known as Post Covid Conditions (PCC) is one of our areas of clinical excellence. The ongoing symptoms of COVID and Long Covid can be debilitating and even deadly. If you had COVID or any of the Covid vaccines or boosters then you have the COVID Spike Protein. This spike protein must be detoxed from your body as soon as possible. The research is now coming to light on what this virus and spike protein does to the body. We have the latest in COVID Spike Protein detox from Europe and India. This product which contains no nattokinase is used in 27 countries around the world to detox the spike protein.
Europe has been working on this COVID Spike Protein quantity test problem for several years without the political pressures in the US. They now have a blood test for the quantity of Sars-CoV2 Spike Protein from COVID or from the Vaccine. We draw your blood and overnight the test to the lab in Italy. Once your results are back, (about 4 weeks) we can now detox your Spike Protein. This is not an antibodies test like COVID test in the US. Call the clinic at (256) 523-4888 for a COVID Consultation.
SARS-CoV2 Virus with Spike Proteins

They hide well. They nest in organs and release neurotoxins and more. They can cause other disease processes. For instance, viruses stay in the body for your whole life. If you have had Mononucleosis, from EBV and think its dormant and doing nothing to your body, think again. You're 32 times more likely to get MS with EBV.
