To me, this seems like an advertisement from a private company.
It is not clear if it/they are after our/your money, or not, but it does not strike me as something that is compatible with a community/charity such as the 'PBC Foundation'.
This 'PBC F' site is : a support providing network, formed and hosted by a free-to-join Charity, which was founded by a PBC sufferer: ... a compassionate person who - with the help of family and the subsequent aid of helpers/workers and volunteers - tries to guide people through the complexities of the 'authentic and medical', recognition, diagnosis and treatment of PBC, so that we can go on living happy, full and worry-free life with PBC (or the risk of PBC, as in my case).
Other 'PBC F' members, as well as other users of this wonderful site, can make up their own minds … but I'm not sure that this post has a place, here.
I feel everything I post here is exceptionally important.
I’m sorry if some people are not able to do what I’m doing.
Look at it this way, if I find something that is going to help us, that is a good thing because I’m going to share it with all of you anyway.
And also, I’m in the Healthcare field in a very reputable hospital, my job is to help my patients reach there optimal health, to lead to a normal happy life
You may think I’m nieve, but I’m not, actually I am pretty smart in this area.
If other people agree with your findings, I will step into another forum with this vital info.
Aperiomics CEO Dr. Crystal Icenhour to Pitch for Venture Capital in Vinetta Showcase September 26th in DC
By Robb Milne|September 11th, 2018
Ashburn, VA – September 11, 2018 – Dr. Crystal Icenhour, CEO of Aperiomics and one of the fastest rising stars in American biotechnology, has been chosen to compete in the annual Vinetta Showcase in Washington, DC. Vinetta is a high-impact pitch and panel series in which top female founders of successful startup companies compete for venture capital.
The event is Wednesday, September 26, 6:30 – 9:00 p.m. at the Booz Allen Hamilton Innovation Center, 901 15th Street NW, Washington, D.C. A judging panel will be comprised of three active investors and a company CEO. The event is open to press. The audience will include entrepreneurs, venture influencers, young professionals and service providers, all of whom see massive growth potential for investing in female founders.
Dr. Icenhour is an expert in infectious disease diagnostics, with more than 25 years of experience in medical research and biotech. She holds two patents, has authored numerous research articles and theses, and is a prolific speaker. She has served on review panels for the National Science Foundation, the EPA and NIH. She is also an adjunct assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center and has done postdoctoral research at the Mayo Clinic.
Aperiomics is the only company of its kind and scope in the world. Its proprietary technology can identify every bacteria, DNA virus, fungi and parasite – the causes of infections — in a single test. It does this using a method called “deep shotgun metagenomic sequencing” of the DNA from any sample (patient, environmental, etc.).
It helps doctors and their patients worldwide solve difficult medical cases, limit the use of antibiotics, and drastically cut trial-and-error testing. Last year Aperiomics was recognized as one of the D.C. region’s most innovative companies as a finalist in The Greater Washington Innovation Awards. The company was named “Life Sciences Innovator of the Year” in 2016.
About Aperiomics
Aperiomics is the only company identifying every bacteria, DNA virus, fungi and parasite in one test. Clinicians and patients call on Aperiomics to identify infectious diseases that other tests cannot. The only company of its kind and scope in the world, Aperiomics identifies every known pathogen (bacteria, virus, fungi or parasite) in a single test via deep metagenomic shotgun sequencing of DNA from any sample, be it patient, environmental, or otherwise. The complete genetic fingerprint of that sample is then compared to the Aperiomics Microbial Database™- the most comprehensive database of microorganisms, including the world’s largest collection of pathogens. This breakthrough, only possible through Aperiomics, can be used to accurately identify unknown/chronic infections, limit the use of antibiotics and solve difficult medical cases. Patients and their families often contact Aperiomics directly after hearing about our successes in helping others. Aperiomics is supported by the National Science Foundation. It was named Life Sciences Innovator of the Year in 2016 and a finalist in the 2018 Greater Washington Innovation Awards. For more information, visit aperiomics.com or call (703) 229-0406.

But, I’m sure Dr Burkson throughly checked out this company. Burt would have never offered the test if he thought there was something shady about the company or test. Burt is not about guess work.
Hi Sunny - I was wondering what other treatments you had followed before going the functional medicine route. Are you still taking Urso? Does your primary care physician support this direction? Thanks in advance.
I tried taking Urso and other bandaids, but side effects horrific for me,
My Liver Specialist does not promote intergrative function Medicine, but he knows every step I take. We work in close proximity, so, basically he’s in my kitchen.🙂
He doesn’t say anything ( he can’t), against hospital policy “NO NATURAL PRODUCT AND NO ENCOURAGING PT’s to go with Intergrated functional medicine.
I’m total convince big Pharm had a lot to do with this, they don’t care who lives and who dies, as long as the old mighty dollars keeps coming their way.
Integrative medicine is an approach to care that puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. Employing a personalized strategy that considers the patient’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances, it uses the most appropriate interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to heal illness and disease and help people regain and maintain optimum health.
Integrative medicine is grounded in the definition of health. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Integrative medicine seeks to restore and maintain health and wellness across a person’s lifespan by understanding the patient’s unique set of circumstances and addressing the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect health. Through personalizing care, integrative medicine goes beyond the treatment of symptoms to address all the causes of an illness. In doing so, the patient’s immediate health needs as well as the effects of the long-term and complex interplay between biological, behavioral, psychosocial and environmental influences are taken into account.
Integrative medicine is not the same as alternative medicine, which refers to an approach to healing that is utilized in place of conventional therapies, or complementary medicine, which refers to healing modalities that are used to complement allopathic approaches. If the defining principles are applied, care can be integrative regardless of which modalities are utilized.
The defining principles of integrative medicine are:
The patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
All factors that influence health, wellness and disease are taken into consideration, including body, mind, spirit and community.
Providers use all healing sciences to facilitate the body’s innate healing response.
Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive are used whenever possible.
Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry driven and open to new paradigms.
Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
The care is personalized to best address the individual’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances. Practitioners of integrative medicine exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self-exploration and self-development.
In addition to addressing and handling the immediate health problem(s) as well as the deeper causes of the disease or illness, integrative medicine strategies also focus on prevention and foster the development of healthy behaviors and skills for effective self-care that patients can use throughout their lives.
Hopefully this helps everyone understand what Intergrative medicine is.
