The Ochsner-Scherer Regime Does Not Exist as a Medical Treatment Protocol

I cannot find any evidence in the medical literature for an "Ochsner-Scherer regime" or "Oschner Sheren regime" as a recognized medical treatment protocol.

What the Evidence Shows

The search results contain no references to any treatment regimen by this name. The provided evidence includes:

  • Guidelines for Sjögren's syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, Erdheim-Chester disease, and colorectal cancer 1
  • Blood pressure measurement techniques 1
  • A quality improvement initiative at Ochsner Health System (not a treatment regime) 2
  • Information about the Gerson regimen (an unproven alternative cancer therapy) 3, 4
  • Scheuermann's disease (a spinal condition unrelated to any "Scherer" treatment) 5

Possible Explanations

Misheard or Misspelled Terms

You may be referring to one of these actual medical entities:

Gerson Regimen - An alternative cancer treatment developed in the 1930s involving raw juices, supplements, and coffee enemas, which lacks scientific evidence of efficacy 3

Scheuermann's Disease - A juvenile spinal osteochondrosis treated with rehabilitation and bracing, not a treatment regimen itself 5

Ochsner Health System - A healthcare organization that implemented quality improvement measures in cardiology, but this is not a treatment protocol 2

Recommendation

If you are seeking information about a specific treatment protocol, please verify the exact name and medical condition it addresses. Without accurate terminology, I cannot provide evidence-based guidance on appropriate therapy.
