NAD+ Treatment in Scottsdale, Arizona
NAD, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is an amino acid and coenzyme of Niacin (Vitamin B3) that is found in every cell of your body. Most of your body’s energy and organ function is supported by mitochondria in cells, and NAD plays an important role in mitochondrial function.
NAD+ IV therapy offers a variety of benefits such as boosting neurologic function, restoring mental clarity, supporting brain regeneration and repair, as well as increasing energy metabolism on a cellular level. NAD treatment may also help improve symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and depression.
As NAD+ decreases while you age, specific genes are triggered to accelerate aging. NAD+ IV Therapy combats this by activating enzymes in the bloodstream called “sirtuins,” which promote the “good” aspects of your genes to stay healthier for longer, thus reducing the effects of aging.
NAD+ is a longevity molecule that has been proven to repair DNA, strengthen the immune system, serve as an internal anti-inflammatory, protect brain cells, improves brain function and mood, combats chronic fatigue, improves athletic performance, and lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.
If you or someone you know has recently been diagnosed with cancer or an autoimmune disease, it’s important to gather and learn as much information about the disease as possible. The integrative oncology team at Brio Medical in Scottsdale, Arizona is experienced in the holistic treatment of cancer, Lyme Disease, and other autoimmune conditions and is here to help guide you through your journey to healing.
To learn about NAD+ IV Therapy at the Brio Medical integrative wellness center in Scottsdale, Arizona schedule a time to speak with a patient care coordinator at Brio Medical and learn if your insurance qualifies for the insurance deposit program, sign up for a risk-free treatment consultation or call us anytime at 1-866-379-8381.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is one of the most essential molecules in your body. In fact, you’ll find it in every single cell working in more chemical reactions than any other vitamin-derived molecule. When the molecule has oxidized and becomes inactive, it is known as NADH, but in its active form, it is known as NAD+. NAD+ is a coenzyme of the Vitamin B3 that activates reactions after binding to protein molecules.
As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decrease within our bodies. Habits such as overeating and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to a decline in NAD+. Unfortunately, low levels of NAD+ have been linked to health issues like premature skin aging, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, and vision loss.
NAD+ IV therapy is a treatment that seeks to replenish the levels of this vital molecule in your body with a solution administered through an IV.
What You Can Expect:
• For most customers, results are seen immediately
• 3-6 sessions are recommended for best results
What is NAD+?
NAD is a biologically active coenzyme form of vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and is found in every cell of the body. A reaction between the NAD molecule and oxygen in the mitochondria creates energy so that your brain can function and so that all of your organs and systems can function. Lack of NAD cellular fuel has been recognized as potentially a key factor in chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, addiction, impaired immune function, muscular pain, headaches, memory impairment, sleep disorders, concentration deficits, and other chronic diseases. Various environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle factors, including the use of alcohol, prescription medication, and other addictive substances, can cause someone to become NAD deficient. Intravenous NAD can correct the deficiencies and improve the above conditions.
How does NAD+ therapy work?
Intravenous NAD therapy is administered for a period of 9 to 14 days. The NAD gradually saturates the cells to restore cellular energy and functionality caused by NAD deficiency. NAD has been reported to be effective in improving a wide variety of chronic health conditions and also to assist in comfortably detoxifying patients from alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, and other addictive substances. The Advanced Rejuvenation Institute’s experience with NAD therapy has improved patients’ brain functioning and reduced chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions. The NAD protocol that is administered for addiction recovery has been shown to reduce withdrawal symptoms significantly and to diminish or eliminates cravings.
Intravenous NAD therapy functions in the body to:
- Provide the raw material needed to create energy in brain cells, heart cells, and in other organs and systems in the body
- Stimulate the production of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, thereby improving mood
- Protect DNA, reducing DNA mutations which may contribute to cancer, immunodeficiency, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other adverse health conditions
- Strengthen the immune system
- Enhance nitric oxide production, thereby increasing blood circulation throughout the body
- Improve mental performance
- Improve sleep quality
- Enhance libido
- Promote overall health and anti-aging

What is NAD+ Therapy (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)?
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is the chemical term for a molecule that reacts with oxygen in the mitochondria which is the energy-producing “power plant” in every cell of your body. The mitochondria make the energy your body depends on to move, think, pump blood, digest food, think, and generally, animate life. Lack of this essential cellular fuel is now recognized as a key feature of chronic fatigue, apathy, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction, weak immune system (infections and cancer), mood disorders, muscle pain and weakness, headaches, memory disturbance, insomnia, focus and concentration defects and other metabolic disorders and chronic diseases. NAD deficiency, in my opinion, is an epidemic cellular disease because each and every disease is fundamentally caused by oxidative stress and a NAD deficiency accelerates the negative effects of oxidative stress – cellular function decline and then death.
NAD is a coenzyme of Niacin – B3. Enzymes are responsible for every biochemical process that supports life. There are two primary classes of enzymes: digestive and metabolic. Metabolic enzymes are responsible for the structuring, repair, and remodeling of every cell.
NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a metabolic co-enzyme that continuously varies between the NAD and NADH compounds in the body. Metabolic enzymes operate in every cell, every organ, and every tissue, and they need constant replenishment. Lifeless, enzymatically void diets today tend not to keep up with metabolic demands. NAD levels naturally decline with age. In today’s world, however, NAD is depleted far more quickly as cells today work much harder than even 10 years ago to metabolize toxins, handle stress, and adapt to an unhealthy, over-stimulating psychological, emotional, and physically toxic environment. Our environment has changed more in the last 100 years than in the last 20,000 years and the requirements of adapting to those changes, along with the nutritionally void processed foods that people consume in an environment that requires MORE nutrition to function well places a high demand on our cellular energy performance to keep up with it all. Therefore degenerative and autoimmune disease, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, mental disturbances– essentially all metabolic disorders and diseases will surface early as cells will age more quickly and succumb to the inherent oxidative stress in our lifestyles, diet, and environment.
All human activities require energy. Research has indicated that 90% of our physical energy must be made available from the biochemical processes within our cells. Each cell in your body has a particular function that needs the energy to do its job. This energy is produced by various chemical processes in the mitochondria. Glucose is the fuel for these power plants and is supposed to be obtained from the food we consume by means of digestion. Today’s processed, GMO, and nutritionally void foods do not supply the required demand to properly deliver and utilize glucose. So it floats around in the blood and becomes food for harmful bacteria, disrupts the neuroendocrine system (insulin resistance), and produces everything from cancer to harmful neurotransmitter analogs. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of glucose derived from dead, processed foods; just not the nutrients and enzymes to deliver it to the mitochondria and burn it. This is why people who eat a lot don’t have a lot of energy!
Without sufficient NAD, the mitochondria simply cannot function and the cell will die. However, first, a cellular slowing of operation will happen which is when various symptoms will manifest such as “fog brain”, inability to focus, general fatigue, losing ambition, aspiration, and inspiration for life, laziness, disinterest in things you once loved, etc. After a period of this, actual diseases and metabolic disorders will begin to manifest.
Chronic NAD deficiency results in metabolic energy deficiency. This metabolic energy deficiency is called a NAD Energy Deficiency (NED). NED is insufficient chemical energy which means the body does not have enough NAD molecules and accompanying energy nutritional and enzymatic cofactors to generate enough metabolic energy on a cellular level to maintain the body in a constant state of health; ergo, produce the energy required to fuel the biochemical processes that sustain and animate life.
This is a primary reason as to why those that suffer NED will get a disease in the same environment when others will not. The people who do not succumb to a disease, such as those caused by contaminated water, have better NAD production and utilization (producing ATP) so cells are able to protect themselves, repair, replicate, efficiently utilize nutrients, and perform the all-important task of removing waste- detoxification. This is really important for the brain as waste products can mimic neurotransmitters, and compete for the healthy ones for receptor sites, therefore causing mood issues and even adverse mental health conditions such as schizophrenia in addition to causing actual organic damage resulting in tumors, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
NED can result in a wide spectrum of diseases (probably all). NED mostly manifests itself as chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, substance abuse, depression, stress, anxiety, and various other chronic illnesses.
NAD and Longevity – The Anti-Aging Neuron Elixir
It is the environment of the cell that determines how quickly it will age and die, as well as how efficiently it will function. When the environment is full of the raw materials required to produce energy and repair and replicate, they live long, healthy lives. When the environment is toxic and nutritionally non-supportive, they begin to fail and die quickly.
In a paper published in the journal Cell, Dr. David Sinclair, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School ,and his colleagues pointed to NAD as the naturally occurring catalyst made by young cells that was able to revive older cells and make them energetic and youthful again. In an experiment in mice, the team found that giving older mice NAD for just one week made 2-year-old-mice tissue resemble that of 6-month-old mice (in human years, that would be akin to a 60-year-old’s cells becoming more like those belonging to a 20-year-old).
As mammals age, says Sinclair, levels of NAD drop by 50%; with less of the compound, the communication between the cell and its mitochondrial energy source also falters, and the cell becomes vulnerable to common aging assaults — vulnerability to toxic assault and oxidative stress, inflammation, muscle wasting and slower metabolism. With improved amounts of NAD, aging can theoretically be reversed. “When we give the molecule, oxygen delivery is enhanced, and everything revs back up again,” Sinclair says.
The NAD pathway may become an important target for cancer researchers as well, since tumors typically grow in low-oxygen conditions and are more common in older patients. And because it improves cellular oxygen, communication, detoxification and metabolism, it only makes sense that it would be a good adjuvant therapy for cancer patients.
Because NAD is a naturally occurring compound that simply declines with age, Sinclair says that “If a body is slowly falling apart and losing the ability to regulate itself effectively, we can get it back on track to what it was in its 20s and 30s using NAD,” he says.
NAD & The Kreb’s Cycle ~ The Chemistry of Animating Life
NAD is an activated form of vitamin B3 which becomes a coenzyme when it is bound with hydrogen, making it NADH. Hydrogen is the explosive power that the body uses, along with oxygen, to make energy. Hydrogen and Oxygen are “sparked” in the mitochondria to make energy.
This is how it works. We eat carbohydrates, proteins and fats which provide the chemicals that enter the Citric Acid Cycle, a biochemical pathway that produces NADH. The NAD is now carrying hydrogen (NADH) which in turn enters the electron transport chain in the mitochondria and is “sparked” with oxygen and the outcome is energy (ATP), along with water. ATP, or adenosine triphospate, is the fuel for the heart to beat, the muscles to contract and for every cellular energy requirement within the 100 trillion cells of the body.
It is clear to see how important NADH is for the body as it is involved in every bodily function and catalyzes more than a thousand metabolic reactions in the organs and tissues. The heart uses the most NAD as it beats around 86,000 times daily. The brain consumes about 20 to 35% of the sum total of energy produced by the body. Often an energy deficiency is first detected in the brain with poor concentration, memory loss, short term retention of information, difficulty focusing, and attention deficit. If the energy shortage lasts long enough, brain neurons cannot synthesize neurotransmitters, the molecules of consciousness, such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, and we experience anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and other mood changes.
Vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats come from our diet and provide the building blocks to the citric acid (kreb’s) cycle energy production. If any one of the nutritional factors is low, energy production is diminished. Since oxygen is just as important as hydrogen in cellular energetics, lack of exercise can reduce the amount of oxygen at the cell level. Also, most people simply do not eat live foods anymore which are rich in enzymes, enzymes catalyze the citric acid cycle. The toxic environment and food people eat today inhibit (due to depletion of required nutritional cofactors) and destroy NAD. Chemical or physical toxins that create oxidative, or free radical, damage also accelerates the disease and aging process. Free radical damage comes from cigarette smoke, drugs, radio waves from cell phones and wi-fi, and the myriad chemicals found in all humans at this time on earth, including phalates, parabens, pesticides, styrene, benzene, toluene, and thousands more. For example, medical scientists now widely believe that Alzheimer’s dementia and Parkinson’s disease share the common feature of nerve cell degeneration due to impairment of the ATP producing enzymes with the citric acid cycle and mitochondria.
To make all this extremely simple: The brain is a condensed and very sophisticated network of information signals and relays that process environmental and informational messages in the form of biochemicals and “energy”. It depends entirely on a good energy source to do everything from read and breath to responding to messages from the environment in order to adjust metabolism and keep you alive while sleeping. It is also the body’s “alarm” system and expresses moods from the heart when it is healthy and when it is not will adulterate those authentic moods with chemicals and dying circuits that produce depression, anxiety, insomnia, fear as well as the inability to focus (can’t fire sufficient neurotransmitters to keep your attention), addictive biochemistry (trying to mediate the symptoms), lack of follow through, and a generally uninspired life. Mental health symptoms are usually your first sign that you are suffering an NAD deficiency and that it’s time to take change in diet and lifestyle seriously. Treatment is also available for those with the financial resources, however, it can be expensive so it is a good idea to heed the non negotiable laws of health and live as you were designed to; with organic clean food and exercise while closing off all routes of toxic exposures in your food, air (home air cleaners), food containers, hygiene products, water (as well as shower), OTC drugs, and “medicine”. The road to recovery can be much slower for some over others, and in the case of psychiatric drug damage, alcohol abuse or illicit drugs, it is a good idea to seek treatment to minimize the likelihood of not being able to get through the time it takes to heal and relapse, or resume (or never stop) taking a sleeping, antipsychotic, or psychiatric “mood” drug that is destroying your brain many times more aggressively than even illegal drugs.
Key Neuro/Biochemical Functions of NAD
• Protects and repairs DNA, reducing DNA mutations which are caused from chronic bioaccumulation of biotoxins, age, drug/alcohol abuse, improper diet, stress, etc.
• Increases energy in heart cells
• Increases energy in brain cells
• Improves communication between the mitochondria (energy producing organelle in every cell) and the nucleus which enhances all cellular communication.
• Enhances the utilization of nutrients and removal of waste within the cell.
• Reverses cerebral aging as well as protects the brain from aging by adding mitochondria organelles within the cell
• Proven clinical record for dramatically improving neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
• Improves general metabolism
• The “most powerful antioxidant” in the body according to Dr. Richard Passwater in his book NADH-The Energizing Coenzyme
• Lowers cholesterol
• Lowers blood pressure
• Strengthens the immune system
• Stimulates production of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, thereby improving neurochemical communication, moods, concentration, and memory
• Stimulates nitric oxide production, thereby improving blood flow in the body – this is essential for healthy brain function as the brain is a very dense network of capillaries charged with the responsibility to get blood flow to the brain
• Reverses insulin resistance quickly when diet is corrected
• Quickly establishes healthy blood sugar regulation
• Reduces and when diet is corrected, entirely eliminates brain inflammation

As you begin your journey to healing, it is natural to feel overwhelmed or anxious about your decision to receive treatment away from home. When you are ready, a patient care coordinator is awaiting your call to go over your treatment options and help you plan a trip to visit the Brio Medical clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. To help you start your journey, we have provided links to patient resources below to help guide you on how to become a patient.
Dr. Mitchell first realized his strong passion for helping people through the wellness field while working at a drugstore in high school. That experience inspired him to earn a graduate degree in pharmacy and help people for more than 24 years. While practicing as a compounding pharmacist and consultant pharmacist, Dr. Mitchell learned that many of the drugs dispensed for treatment were ultimately harming patients by suppressing their symptoms while allowing the underlying cause of illness to remain untreated. With this epiphany, Dr. Mitchell decided to pursue medical school and provide patients with the best of both naturopathic and conventional medicine. He completed his medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Dr. Mitchell’s first experience in using natural, restorative healing came before he even entered medical school, when he helped both his wife Ann and a family member with debilitating illnesses. His wife suffered from a painful back injury for years and was told by the “best doctors” that only drugs and surgery would help. At 20 months old, the family member was diagnosed with autism and was told that there was nothing doctors could do to reverse the disorder. His love for these members of his family kept him from accepting these answers and urged him forward to find alternatives, which included DAN! (Defeat Autism Now) training education.
While in school to earn his NMD, Dr. Mitchell trained under leaders in environmental medicine and autism, including Walter Crinnion, ND, Jessica Tran, ND, William Rea, MD, and Elizabeth Mumper, MD. Through that work, Dr. Mitchell developed his own treatment protocols and was able to further reverse the autism disorder and allow his family member to recover, develop, and thrive as a neuro-typical child at home and in the public classroom. Dr. Mitchell’s wife Ann recovered and was able to return to work following orthomolecular nutrient therapy and lifestyle changes.
Our treatment program is designed to stimulate your immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells in combination with natural, non-invasive, effective therapies that will take advantage of cancer cells' weaknesses.
Brio Medical's natural treatment approach offers patients a holistic way to heal the mind, body, and spirit, using proven non-toxic therapies to target cancer cells while providing essential immune system support. Whether you are searching for a natural cancer treatments plan, a way to rebuild your body after chemotherapy or radiation, an adjunct to traditional natural cancer treatments, or are looking to obtain optimal health to help prevent cancer, Brio Medical has an Intensive Integrative Oncology that will treat cancer naturally with non-toxic therapies.
Our alternative or integrative cancer therapies are much safer than traditional treatments such as full-dose chemotherapy and radiation because the body is exposed to much less toxicity. Licensed physicians who hold themselves to the highest medical and ethical standards perform all treatments, including the intersection of conventional and alternative cancer treatments such as those we offer at Brio Medical.
A majority of the cancer patients that Brio Medical treats respond well to our therapies, and report improvements in their prognosis. This including a variety of cancer patients who have all types and stages of cancer that we treat, as well as patients who have already undergone conventional oncology treatments such as surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.
Dependent on the state of the patient's health when they arrive at the clinic, the effectiveness can vary greatly, particularly based on how suppressed the patient's immune system may be from toxic treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
With decades of experience treating breast, prostate, lung, pancreatic, and all other types of cancers in all stages we can create a personalized treatment program based on clinical testing and your medical history. You can count on the expertise of our specialists in cancer at Brio Medical
After signing up to speak with a patient care coordinator, you will schedule a time to speak with Dr. Cheryl Kolin, NMD, who has been working with cancer patients for nearly two decades.
After your initial consultation, the doctor will work to give you the relaxing healing experience and the personalized treatment you need in conjunction with the beautiful and peaceful desert and scenic views in Scottsdale, Arizona. All types of cancer can be treated with our multi-disciplinary approach to healing metastatic cancer.
In conventional oncology, the concept of making the body less toxic, improving diet and nutrition, and regulating the immune system while treating the malignancy is still widely regarded as an unessential aspect of oncology treatment protocols. The belief that medication alone can and should reverse disease and cure a patient without consideration of the body’s own defense and recovery systems still dominates the medical mentality of conventional oncologists throughout the world of Western Medicine.
In standard oncology, there is no treatment that is not deleterious to the immune system or the overall host defense of the patient. In our concept, the foundation of any form of therapy should be the restoration of the biological capabilities of the host with specific emphasis on the immune system.
Given chemotherapy to a patient who recently underwent surgery will only worsen their appetite, strength, and well-being, reducing defense systems and the chances of a successful outcome. In standard radiotherapy programs, statistics show that the higher the dose of radiation, the higher the tumoral response.
However, the same statistics prove that higher doses do not necessarily mean longer survival. This means that we must strike a balance between how aggressively we attack the tumor and how much support we give the body or at least how much assault our biological systems can endure. A healthy body with an intact defense system does not develop cancer. So, the mere fact that cancer is present denotes a failure, mutation, or biological change important enough to trigger such a diagnosis.
If we continue to follow the concept that the elimination of the tumor mass brings cure, we will continue to see the recurrence of cancer – which is one of the consistent outcomes of conventional oncology.
The fact is that when a breast tumor, for example, is removed we could still be far from solving the problem. So, the lump is not the disease – and that should be an important conclusion. By lengthening and enhancing tumor control through human immune/defense systems while remaining completely free of side effects over long periods of use, this is the most nature-similar way of controlling malignant growths.
The backbone of the Brio Medical cancer treatment protocol is awakening the immune system and reprogramming it to fight naturally. We want to strengthen your immune system by detoxing your body of heavy metals with chelation therapy, replenishing vitamin and mineral deficiencies with nutritional IV therapy, and a variety of other treatments to help jumpstart your body's immune system.

Guiding Principles To Hope And Healing
All Treatment Programs Are Individualized. One Size Does Not Fit All! The Treatment Plan Designed For You Will Be Based On Personal History, Physical Exam, Labs, Imaging, Medications, Allergies, And Your Overall Health. When You Are Seriously Sick You Need Serious Help. Brio-Medical, Combines Natural Supplement IV’s Along With Specialized Equipment To Boost The Bodies Ability To Respond To Disease And Injury. This Is Where Hope Is Restored Thanks To Our Highly Trained Staff And Our Unique Combination Of Treatments & Therapies.
Principle 1:
Your Biology Is Controlled By Your Thoughts
All Treatment Programs Are Individualized. One Size Does Not Fit All! The Treatment Plan Designed For You Will Be Based On Personal History, Physical Exam, Labs, Imaging, Medications, Allergies, And Your Overall Health. When You Are Seriously Sick You Need Serious Help. Brio-Medical, Combines Natural Supplement IV’s Along With Specialized Equipment To Boost The Bodies Ability To Respond To Disease And Injury. This Is Where Hope Is Restored Thanks To Our Highly Trained Staff And Our Unique Combination Of Treatments & Therapies.
Principle 2:
Eat Healthy Food
That Is Organic, Non-Gmo, Whole Foods. This Also Includes Avoiding Refined Sugars Like Sodas, Cakes, Candies, And Anything With High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). HFCS Is A Genetically Modified Product. Fruits Are Acceptable But Juice Should Be Limited To Leafy Green Vegetables With A Granny Smith Apple To Taste. The Idea Is To Avoid A Spike In Blood Sugar And Subsequent Strong Insulin Response.
Principle 3:
Drink Plenty of Water
The Body Consists Of About 60-70% Water. Water Loss By The Body Is Termed Sensible, Loss From Urine And Stool Or Insensible, Loss From Respiration And Evaporation (Sweating). Water Is Lost By The Body All The Time Which Is Why It Needs To Be Replenished. The Body Needs Water For Digestion, Excretion, Absorption, Circulation And Regulation Of Body Temperature.
Principle 4:
Get Some Sleep
The Majority Of Americans Suffer From Sleep Deprivation Which Causes Mental, Emotional And Physical Fatigue. Sleep Debt Has An Effect On The Immune System And Healing. Research Has Shown In Mammalian Models That Animals Who Get More Sleep Have Higher Levels Of White Blood Cells (WBCs) Which Are Paramount To An Immune Response. Inadequate Sleep Is Also Associated With Breast, Prostate And Colon Cancers.
Principle 5:
Detoxification
Most Cancers Take Years To Form. The Standard American Diet (SAD) Including Alcohol Creates An Acidic And Inflammatory Environment In The Body That Leads To A Number Of Health Issues Including Diabetes. Then Take Into Account A Daily Bombardment Of Environmental Toxins (Toxicants), Such As Cigarette Smoke, Diesel Fuels, Pesticides, Herbicides, Pollution, Toxic Metals, And GMOs, Etc That Further Elevates The Total Toxic Burden Of The Body. No Wonder Chronic Illness Is On The Rise!
Principle 6:
Supplementation
Specific Nutrients, Vitamins, Minerals, Fatty Acids, Adaptogens, Botanicals, Etc That Are Used To Replete The Body From Depleted States. As The Immune System Becomes Strengthened And The Toxic Burden Reduced, The Body Can Start To Heal. Quality Of Supplements Vary, So Discuss With Your Naturopathic Or Integrative Practitioner Before Purchasing.
Principle 7:
Exercise

I saw Dr. Kollin for cancer prevention. In 2014 I had pain on the left side which occasionally radiated to my left breast. Ultrasound showed nothing but fibrous breasts. The origin of the pain could never be pinpointed. She had me apply a lotion to my torso daily. After a few months, I began to have eruptions under the left breast and increased the lotion applications as instructed. The eruptions progressed, the pain on the left side increased. After 4 months the eruptions stopped and the skin healed. The pain on the left side is gone. Follow up u/s has shown that the breasts are no longer fibrous. Incidentally, they are no longer tender when menstruating. I am so thankful for dr. Kollin. She listened and supported me. She is truly caring.
