MDI (Micro-Dosing Insulin) is a specialized treatment designed to address the underlying cause of several debilitating neurological diseases and diabetic complications: insulin resistance.

MDI for Neurological Health

Most cases of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and Post-Stroke Syndrome, are rooted in brain insulin resistance.

Why the Brain Needs Insulin

  • High Energy Demand: While only 2% of body weight, the brain consumes 20% of the body’s blood flow and 50% of its oxygen.
  • Glucose Dependency: Unlike other cells that can use fat, brain and nerve cells can only produce energy from glucose.
  • The Escort: Insulin is required to “escort” glucose into the cells. In a state of insulin resistance, glucose transport receptors fail, leaving brain cells “starving” for energy even if blood sugar levels are normal.

MDI for Diabetes Management

In diabetes, high blood sugar is a symptom; the true problem is insulin resistance. This condition is responsible for serious complications such as:

  • Blindness and kidney failure.
  • Neuropathy and non-healing wounds.
  • Heart attacks and high blood pressure.

MDI therapy aims to normalize blood sugar without heavy reliance on medication and to treat or prevent these life-altering complications.

How MDI Therapy Works

The MDI process is a three-hour clinical session designed to gradually correct resistance in the liver, blood-brain barrier, and systemic cells.

  1. IV Access: A nurse places an intravenous (IV) line in the patient.
  2. Glucose Elevation: Blood glucose is raised through sugary foods or IV glucose infusion.
  3. Micro-Dosing: Once glucose levels are sufficiently high, a small dose of insulin is injected into the IV to bring levels back to baseline.
  4. Repetition: This cycle of increasing and decreasing blood sugar is repeated for three hours.
  5. Supplemental Care: Following the session, the brain may be treated with intravenous oxygen and red light therapy to stimulate dormant cells to better utilize the newly delivered glucose.

Treatment Goals

Depending on the level of damage, patients typically require 12 to 30 treatments to restore function. The ultimate goals of MDI include:

  • Reversing or turning around difficult neurological diseases.
  • Decreasing or eliminating the need for diabetes medications and insulin.
  • Treating complications of diabetes and eliminating “brittle” control.
