MDA Therapy

Steps Involved in IVF:

Procedure Description

MDA Therapy, or Metabolic Dietary Approach Therapy, is an innovative therapeutic strategy that targets specific metabolic pathways to manage and treat a range of chronic illnesses, particularly cancer. The core principle of MDA Therapy revolves around controlling metabolic processes within cells to alter the disease progression. It emphasizes a combination of dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, and metabolic modulation to create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of malignant cells or other chronic conditions.

MDA Therapy operates on the understanding that certain diseases, including cancer, thrive on particular energy sources within the body, primarily glucose. The approach aims to manipulate the body's metabolic state through diet and metabolic interventions to starve the diseased cells or hinder their ability to grow and multiply. By adjusting the body's metabolism, MDA Therapy seeks to enhance the efficacy of conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy or serve as a complementary approach to these traditional methods.

This therapy is highly individualized, with protocols tailored to the unique metabolic needs of each patient and the specific nature of their condition. These tailored regimens often include dietary modifications that may reduce carbohydrate intake, incorporate ketogenic elements, or focus on specific nutritional needs to support overall health and target disease mechanisms effectively.

Procedure Duration

The duration of MDA Therapy can vary significantly depending on the patient’s condition, disease stage, and how their body responds to the metabolic interventions. Typically, the therapy is structured in phases, each designed to incrementally shift the body’s metabolism and adapt to the dietary and nutritional changes prescribed.

Initial Phase: The first phase involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's metabolic state, health history, and specific disease characteristics. During this time, the treatment plan is customized, including dietary guidelines, supplements, and any concurrent therapies. This phase may take a few weeks, as it is crucial to fine-tune the protocol to the individual's needs and ensure the body is responding positively to the changes.

Active Therapy Phase: The second phase is the active treatment phase, where patients strictly adhere to the dietary and metabolic regimen. Depending on the condition and therapy goals, this phase can last from several months to a year or more. It is a period marked by ongoing monitoring, as regular check-ups are necessary to track progress and adjust the therapy for maximum effectiveness. The patient's metabolic markers, weight, energy levels, and response to any complementary treatments are closely watched.

Maintenance and Recovery Phase: Once the primary objectives of the therapy have been achieved, patients often transition into a maintenance phase. Here, the strict dietary and metabolic interventions may be eased slightly to sustain the benefits achieved while allowing for a more balanced and less restrictive lifestyle. The recovery and adaptation period may last several months, with a focus on integrating the long-term dietary changes and maintaining health and metabolic balance.

Benefits

  • India: India’s reputation for combining traditional healing practices with modern medical therapies makes it a favorable destination for MDA Therapy. With a wide range of treatment options and cost-effective services, it draws patients from around the world seeking metabolic and dietary-based treatments.
  • Spain: Spain has several clinics focusing on innovative dietary and metabolic therapies for chronic conditions. The Mediterranean lifestyle, favorable climate, and access to personalized medical care make Spain an attractive destination for medical tourists pursuing MDA Therapy.

Risks & Considerations

  • Nutritional Deficiencies: One of the main risks of MDA Therapy is the potential for nutritional deficiencies, particularly if the diet is restrictive or eliminates key food groups. Close monitoring by a dietitian or healthcare professional is essential.
  • Compliance with Diet: The success of MDA Therapy relies heavily on strict adherence to the prescribed diet and regimen, which can be challenging for some patients to maintain over the long term.
  • Possible Side Effects: Some patients may experience side effects such as fatigue, gastrointestinal disturbances, or changes in energy levels as their bodies adjust to new dietary patterns and metabolic shifts.
  • Interference with Other Treatments: If MDA Therapy is used alongside conventional treatments, there may be concerns about how the diet and supplements interact with medications or therapies. Patients should consult their primary care provider to ensure compatibility.
  • Not Suitable for All Patients: MDA Therapy may not be suitable for all individuals, especially those with pre-existing metabolic conditions or who are underweight. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine eligibility.

How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital

When selecting a provider for MDA Therapy, it is important to look for practitioners and facilities that specialize in metabolic and dietary interventions for chronic diseases. Seek out hospitals or clinics that offer a multidisciplinary approach, involving dietitians, oncologists, and metabolic experts to ensure comprehensive care.

Consider the provider’s experience and success rates in MDA Therapy, as well as their commitment to patient education and support. Because this therapy requires ongoing monitoring and adherence to dietary protocols, finding a team that provides thorough follow-up and patient support is crucial for successful outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?

The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.

What happens during egg retrieval?

When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment  where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.

What happens to the eggs?

In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle.  Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.

How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?

The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.

Embryoscope©

Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
