Chronic Illness Treatment at Vance Medical
You’ve seen multiple doctors. You’ve had the tests. You’ve been told your results are ‘normal.’ And yet you still feel terrible every single day. At Vance Medical, we hear this from patients constantly — and we believe you. When conventional medicine runs out of answers, integrative medicine often finds them.
Chronic illness can stem from many sources — genetics, nutrient deficiency, toxin accumulation, chronic low-grade infections, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune dysfunction, physical or emotional trauma, or some combination of all of these. Because many chronic illnesses share overlapping symptoms, accurate diagnosis requires looking at the whole patient, not just the lab report.
‘Just because you haven’t found a cure, doesn’t mean there isn’t one.’

Our Approach to Chronic Illness
At Vance Medical, we approach chronic illness from multiple angles simultaneously. Rather than prescribing a single treatment and hoping for the best, we investigate the underlying drivers of your condition — and build a personalized protocol that addresses them directly.
Common root causes we investigate include:
- Nutrient deficiency and malabsorption
- Heavy metal and environmental toxin burden
- Chronic low-grade bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
- Hormonal imbalance and deficiency
- Genetic factors including MTHFR mutations
- Low cellular energy
- Emotional or physical traumas
- Autoimmune dysfunction and immune dysregulation
- Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
Conditions We Treat
Autoimmune Disorders
Conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn’s disease often respond well to integrative approaches that support the immune system rather than suppress it. We use therapies including LDN, ozone therapy, LDA/LDI, and IV nutrients to help restore immune balance.
Lyme Disease & Chronic Infections
Conventional medicine frequently struggles with persistent Lyme disease and co-infections. At Vance Medical, we offer therapies specifically targeted at chronic infections — including high-dose ozone, EBOO, UV blood irradiation, and Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) — that can reach pathogens that antibiotics alone often cannot.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is one of the most frequently misunderstood and undertreated conditions in medicine. Our approach addresses it from multiple angles: nutrient repletion, LDN, neural therapy, Neural Reflex Therapy (NRT), ozone, and hormonal optimization — often producing meaningful improvement where medication management has failed.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Persistent, debilitating fatigue that does not resolve with rest is a hallmark of chronic fatigue syndrome. We investigate nutrient status, infectious burden, toxic burden, and hormonal health to build a targeted recovery plan for each patient.
MTHFR & Methylation Disorders
MTHFR gene mutations are far more common than most patients realize — and far more consequential. Impaired methylation affects neurotransmitter production, toxin elimination, hormone balance, and immune function. With targeted supplementation, many patients experience significant improvement in energy, mood, and cognitive function.
Wilson's Temperature Syndrome
Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome is a protocol designed for patients who have symptoms often associated with suboptimal body temperature regulation. When temperatures are brought to a more normal range, many of these symptoms significantly/markedly improve.
Chemical Sensitivities & Allergies
Many chronically ill patients develop heightened sensitivity to environmental chemicals, foods, and inhalants. We offer Low Dose Allergy (LDA) therapy — which desensitizes the immune system to hundreds of antigens simultaneously — as well as Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) for autoimmune and infection-related immune dysregulation.
Heavy Metal Toxicity
Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and other heavy metals accumulate silently in the body and can drive chronic illness for years before being identified. We offer comprehensive heavy metal testing and IV Chelation therapy + EBOO to safely remove these toxins.
Hormonal Imbalance
Declining or imbalanced hormones — including thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, etc. — are a common driver of chronic illness symptoms. Vance Medical offers comprehensive hormone evaluation and bioidentical hormone replacement for men and women.

About Dr. Mark Vance, MD
“Living without chronic pain is possible. You shouldn’t have to rely on medications just to manage pain or illness.”
Dr. Vance founded Vance Medical on a conviction he has carried throughout his entire career: that most patients can be helped significantly — often more than conventional medicine believes possible. His training spans family medicine, psychiatry, and integrative and functional medicine. He approaches every chronic illness patient as an individual puzzle to be solved, not a condition to be managed.
