Why Some Patients Don’t Improve, Even When You’re Doing Everything Right
This week’s mastermind walked through a case that highlights one of the most frustrating scenarios in practice: a patient who is doing everything right on paper but continues to decline or react to nearly every intervention.

Consistently elevated inflammatory markers, clear signs of biotoxin exposure, and evidence of ongoing viral reactivation created a picture of a system under constant threat. Not just inflamed, but stuck in a defensive state where even well-intentioned treatments were being rejected.
