Dr. Exelbert’s care revolves around the endocannabinoid system (ECS) health and function.
Medical Cannabis supports normal ECS function, which in turn supports health and wellness throughout the rest of the body.

In-Person Consultation

If you seek the medical care of ExAlt Med, Dr. Exelbert will meet with you, your child, or your loved one in order to assess your diagnosis and current treatment regimen. The consultation will determine if Dr. Exelbert's care is right for your case and if there are any other options you should pursue.

If you are seeking a second opinion, the consultation will determine if the ExAltMed treatment approach will be compatible with your current health care provider as well.

What to bring:

• Your most recent hospital discharge summary

• A recent clinical note from your primary care physician

• Any notes or records from the referring physician

Dr. Exelbert would also be more than happy to talk with your primary care doctor or specialist to learn more about you and your case, with your permission.

Endocannabinoid Deficiency

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is responsible for regulating thousands of processes in our bodies. There are more cannabinoid receptors in the human brain than all other G protein-coupled receptors, combined.

This ubiquitous system is responsible for maintaining equilibrium and balance of neurotransmission, immune system activation, genetic transcription, and many other processes that affect every system of the body.

When the ECS becomes deficient, it loses the ability to maintain these vital processes, and disease is more likely to occur.

Many conditions involve ECS deficiency, including:

• Epilepsy/seizure Disorders

• Certain cancers

• Arthritis/autoimmune conditions

• Neurodegenerative disorders

• Many common immune, nervous, and chronic pain conditions

The Right Medicine

If endocannabinoid deficiency seems to be involved in your case, then Dr. Exelbert will walk you through the process of discerning the right kind of treatment to restore wellness. Medical marijuana contains high amounts of THC, which is therapeutic for many conditions but is not as valuable for certain other conditions.

If THC isn't right for you, Dr. Exelbert may suggest the use of hemp-derived CBD, which contains absolutely NO THC, but still packs the therapeutic value of cannabinoids and terpenes that interact with the endocannabinoid system.

Dr. Exelbert will help to craft a treatment plan tailored specifically to your unique scenario, based on your desires, your condition or set of conditions, other medical advice you value, and the best practices of the medical community.
