Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel investigates triggers: hepatitis C testing, medication review, amalgam removal if suspected trigger, food allergy testing. Uses immune-modulating supplements, addresses gut health, stress management, topical natural anti-inflammatories, and optimizes vitamin D. Works with dentist/oral surgeon for severe erosive cases. Recognizes small increased oral cancer risk requiring monitoring.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Topical corticosteroids (most effective), topical tacrolimus or cyclosporine for refractory cases, systemic corticosteroids if severe, retinoids for erosive OLP, good oral hygiene, avoid irritants, biopsy to diagnose and rule out dysplasia, monitor for malignant transformation.
Topical steroids effective but long-term use has risks, doesn't investigate medication triggers thoroughly, amalgam removal controversial but may help subset of patients, inadequate stress management support, doesn't address gut-immune connection, doesn't optimize vitamin D and anti-inflammatory nutrition.
