TRILLIUM'S EXPERIENCE WITH VIRUSES
OUR APPROACH TO IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH
Dr. Thomson has been treating chronic viruses and post-viral syndromes since the early days of her career: 15+ years. Since early 2020, many patients have been seen at Trillium to gain relief from COVID-related post viral issues. Since there is overlap with treatments that help all types of viruses, Dr. Thomson was able to help people feel better early on in the pandemic.
Chronic virus treatment at Trillium incorporates many different treatment types, including IV therapies such as high-dose vitamin C, ozone therapy, lysine, peptides and others, as well as oral herbs and nutrients. Depending on symptoms, nebulized glutathione or cromolyn can be helpful, as well as B-vitamin injections, pharmaceuticals, and more.
TREATING CHRONIC VIRUSES
HISTORY AND LAB TESTS
We can begin the healing process by sussing out your symptoms and history timeline, and doing lab tests to find out which viruses are present. Dr. Thomson will also check on hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, clotting issues, and other common health issues that come up because of viral infections, or that can look like post-viral illness.
Virus treatment varies based on the types of viruses a person has or has had, as well as their individual symptom picture. No two people get the same treatment plan, which ensures that you get the right plan for you, and you get back to health faster.
