A San Francisco integrative medicine practice treating chronic illness with intravenous therapies, detailed laboratory testing and nutritional and pharmaceutical treatment plans.
Anatara Medicine is a private integrative medicine practice at 1700 California Street in San Francisco. Integrative medicine here means the practice combines conventional Western medical assessment with functional medicine, nutrition, physical medicine, environmental medicine (the study of how mould, heavy metals and other environmental exposures affect health) and complementary therapies such as acupuncture. The medical director is Dr Ahvie Herskowitz, a physician who the site says was previously a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
The practice works mainly with people who have long-running or difficult-to-diagnose illness. Its stated method is to run both conventional and what it calls leading-edge diagnostic testing, then build an individual treatment plan from the laboratory results. Treatments described include intravenous (IV) therapies, nutraceuticals (nutritional supplements used in a medical way), peptides, prescription medicines, acupuncture and lifestyle counselling. Telehealth consultations are offered to patients in many locations, and the site says it may refer patients to selected clinics in other states.
A caution for readers who found this listing while searching for stem cell treatment: the pages reviewed do not describe any stem cell procedure and do not name any cell source such as umbilical cord tissue, bone marrow, fat-derived cells or exosomes. The directory entry title includes the phrase stem cell treatment center, but that is not supported by what the website itself sets out. Anyone interested in cell therapy should ask the practice directly whether it is offered at all, and if so exactly what the product is.
The practice lists a very wide range of conditions. If you are considering treatment, ask specifically what published evidence supports its use for your own diagnosis.
No stem cell source or cell product is named anywhere on the website.
Three clinicians are named on the site.
