Abstract:

Background: Reynaud’s Syndrome is a frustrating condition in which people suffer when the vasculature in their distal extremities constricts. This causes the tips of their fingers, toes, and ears to feel cold. In addition, the color of the skin changes due to the decrease in vascularity.

Method: Create a prototype formula to inhibit some of the stenosing in the distal arteries and increase blood flow; thereby, keeping the extremities warmer and without discoloration.

Biography:

Dr. Kondrot graduated from  Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia in 1977, completed his residency in Ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute and St Francis Hospital. He is A Board Certified in  Ophthalmology, Doctor of Homeopathic Therapeutics (DHt) and a Certified Classical Homeopath (CCH)

He has spent thirty years in private practice of ophthalmology in 3 states, culminating in the publication of 7 books on the natural treatment of eye disease and the design of residential intensives where patients undergo multi-modal treatment, using a variety of natural therapies, for their chronic eye conditions. Current projects include a weekly radio show, lectures, research, publishing and missionary work with SEE International.

Abstract:

Eye conditions that are considered progressive and degenerative and for which the causation is generally poorly understood or not understood within conventional medicine can respond to natural therapeutic interventions that result in arrest and/or improvement of morbidity, with enhanced functional results. Because many of the treated conditions are age related, a delay of disease progression for 5 or even 10 y can mean an additional decade of independence for seniors. The 11 included ocular conditions are ordinarily considered incurable by any method except surgery and, even with surgery, the outcomes can be variable and/or transient.

All participants remained in the study for the duration of the program. Following the administration of the protocol, significant improvement in acuity, contrast, and visual field resulted in the majority of participants. None of the interventions was toxic or painful, and all likely contributed to an improved, overall health status for participants.

These treatment protocols should be considered part of a treatment program for all ocular disease processes. Eye health needs to be repositioned within an assessment of general health with the understanding that, with the exception of congenital disorders or accidents, vision decline represents a general diminishment in overall health and results directly from toxicity from both external sources such as air and water, and the internal accumulation of toxic metals; poor nutrition; and other life exposures and habits. Long-term follow-up studies are now in progress.

Biography:

Dr. Anita Chen Marshall has dual doctoral degrees in Pharmacy and Oriental Medicine. During her more than 40 years of western and eastern patient care experiences, she had witnessed a great need to supplement western medicine with alternative approaches for treating acute and chronic illnesses, and pain management. In addition to her private practice in Alameda, she has been giving lectures and teaching a course on Herb and Drug Interactions for the last 10 years.

She is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, UH School of Medicine; Adjunct Faculty at ACTCM at CIIS, San Francisco, CA; and other acupuncture schools in the U.S.

Abstract:

The practice of medicine is now at a crossroad. Countless patients are being treated simultaneously with both Western and Eastern medicine.  It is quite common for a patient to seek herbal treatments while taking several prescription medications. Both patients and health care professionals are becoming more alert to the potential for occasional adverse herb-drug interactions. Today, half of all Americans take dietary supplements, according to the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements. Consumers spend more than $300 billion per year on prescription drugs and more than $28 billion a year on vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies. And because many dietary supplements are touted as “natural” and are often sold in health food stores, it’s easy to assume they’re harmless. Safety has become a major topic of concern and discussion. 

This session will provide an overview on Herb and Drug Interactions: Pharmacokinetic interactions and Pharmacodynamic interactions; therapeutic effects and interactions of commonly used herbs and drugs; herb-drug interactions with vitamin and mineral supplements. toxic herbs that cause the majority of adverse reactions; potentially serious herb-drug interactions in various illnesses that may cause life threatening conditions (i.e. asthma, CNS disorders, diabetes, heart attack, hypertension, insomnia, stroke, and pain management, etc)

As Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal supplements grow and thrive in the United States, it is of vital importance that health care professionals be aware of the potentially dangerous herb-drug interactions and herb-drug-vitamin interactions.  This knowledge will also improve treatment effectiveness and reduce the skyrocketing costs of medical care.

Tripathi  is an associate professor and a post graduate at the Govt. Autonomous Post Graduate  College Rishikesh, Uttarakhand,  India.

Abstract:

Man remained eager and curious  to  live a disease free, better  and quality life ever science the dawn of human civilization and eventually  started looking towards  the Mother Nature resulting in the  advent of  natural, traditional and alternative  systems  of  health care and more appropriately  as Ayurvedic System of health care. Ayurvedic Science,  targeting  disease free  and quality life even without ayurvedic herbal drugs, was  founded by our  greatest sages, scholars and pennants based on  their researches and realizations. It  advocates the value of reasonable, seasonal and pro to body  foods, exposure, thinking and actions as “Chaturangini Sena” to fight against diseases of all types thereby giving life style more value. Our body is the best drug/ pharma/biochemical industry synthesizing and secreting all that is  needed for our wellness and better health. All these inputs resulted in conferring  a disease free, better and quality life to human beings by enhancing the concept of vitality and Longevity.The amazing properties of ayurvedic herbal remedies as  drugs,  like Pro to body concept of action, holistic approach, principle of totality, eco-biofriendly innocuous nature, easy availability etc. enabled these therapeutic molecules as better choices for uses. However, with the passage of time, these Ayurvedic herbal drugs were realized to become unacceptable worldwide due to their slow acting nature and the  problems of reproducibility, clinical validity, credibility and the global acceptability. All these shortcomings were being further fueled to fire due to great variations in therapeutic and clinical peculiarities of herbs because of several factors like altitudinal, latitudinal, geographical, seasonal, climatic and edaphic etc. This unexplored area of paramount research significance highly demands prompt, scientific and rational studies to confer these drugs  high levels of credibility and reproducibility. To achieve these amazing qualities, an intensified and composite scientific plan of  research execution appears to be the reality of the day.

Abstract:

As the universality of Ayurveda comes more and more into demand based on environmental, physiological and socio- cultural breakdowns across our world we see a need for tools and practices available to a wider audience based in this science. The subject of allopathic medicine vs. alternative medicine has culminated into a new era of healing and wellness adopted predominantly in the West known as Functional Medicine. Functional medicine is primarily interested with the efficiency of gut health and lifestyle choices rendering into optimum vitality and well being. This rather new fashion emerging in medicine is being vastly adopted as healthcare practitioners and medical professionals are understanding that whole health and longevity is no longer a singular or unilateral therapy or protocol. The meeting of alternative healthcare and the adoption of Western medical therapies are proving a more sustainable and evolutionary practice in our world today. Ayurveda, dating back as the oldest form of healing modality spanning over five thousand years, has always been an evolutionary science. It moves with the times and adopts itself within its environment and it’s cultures. It is far more accessible and modern than the classical form of it’s rudimentary recordings in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda is interested primarily in balance. This balance is also based on individuality. It is a dynamic recognition that the body mind is an intelligence that can mutate and self medicate based on giving a catalyst to the body’s own internal pharmacy. In Ayurveda we say, ‘let food be your medicine’. Ayurveda is interested in gut health as the centerpiece to building high immunity and thus whole health and longevity. The universal and modern adoption of Ayurvedic principles and practices in our world today are forefront and urgent. We need to educate the public of their individual constitution and body mind relationships. We can do this by offering tools and practices of self care that will continuously bring an individual from a state of imbalance to a state of balance and radiance again and again, each time allowing the natural pharmacy of the body’s own intelligence to become stronger and more adaptive. The purpose of bringing Ayurveda into a wider public understanding and practice will harness better modes of healing, lifestyle and productivity. People need to become whole before they can truly become happy. Educating the public on practical solutions like seasonal cleansing bringing about awareness of the  inclusion of certain ingredients and superfoods in their diet, meditation and other lifestyle choices will catapult a trajectory of awareness and well being that can render us free of so many ailments almost immediately.  Our integrated whole health is an urgent and dire call ushering in a new Golden Age of a new man, radiant, happy and whole.

We will also include along with this topic a deck showing stats on the growing need of a sustainable form of healing modality in our world today.

Abstract:

Eastern influences have been shown to positively affect outcomes in many areas of western medicine. Recent evidence-based research validates these age-old approaches used globally for thousands of years. So too, in psychiatric treatment and psychosocial recovery-- as we aim to partner with clients in their search for meaning and purpose, social connectedness, and reintegration into the community-- utilizing eastern concepts and approaches expands our clinical repertoire and enhances our work with those we serve. This presentation will introduce several of these eastern concepts and their correlations with integral psychosocial approaches. It will also present evidence-based research on effective mind-body practices to highlight the momentum in the field of psychiatric recovery and the value of a more integrated and comprehensive approach to psychosocial rehabilitation.

She is editor of Neurophenomenology and Its Applications to Psychology and author of “Psychoneurointracrinology: The Embodied Mind” (Springer, 2013).

Abstract:

Andrew Rubman and Susan Gordon explain the interdisciplinary construct psychoneurointracrine, which represents a complex system that is psychological, neurological and intracrinological forming a mind-brain continuum within the person. Psycho (psychological) refers to constructs variously referred to as psyche, self, soul, mind and consciousness. Neuro (neurological) refers to the composition of and reactions within the nervous system. Intracrine (intracrinological) refers to the biosynthesis of steroids; the intracellular binding of receptors and the formation of enzymes that catalyze the creation of hormones within the cell. The theory of psychoneurointracrine autopoiesis explains how the regulation of a steroid’s receptor is modulated by the person’s perception of experience and sense of well-being. The theory of emergent global states explains how reciprocal limbic projections from the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and adrenal axes (HPG-HPA) originating at the paraventricular nucleus, terminating at the median eminence, govern the reactive and anticipatory response to stress. It is argued that the sense of well-being is embodied at the HPG-HPA axes, which integrates autonomic, prereflective, and subliminal experience in the development of meaning and the emergence of self. This presentation explores: 1) the autopoietic role of estrogens, progesterone, and DHEA in the ovary, adrenal gland and the brain, 2) the corticolimbic system in the development of emotion, 3) the theories of psychoneurointracrine autopoiesis and emergent global states, and 4) the clinical implication of these theories for the assessment and treatment of women across the lifespan using natural psychopharmacology. The psychoneurointracrine model extends knowledge of the mind-brain relationship and the growth-oriented dimension of personality.

Abstract:

In 1966  Otto Warburg addressed the Nobel Laureates offering a novel but compelling argument that detailed his theory on the prime cause of cancer. We will challenge our audience to consider a reexamination of Warburg’s thesis in light of  recent NIH reseasrch. We ask also that Dr James Beard’s work from the beginnning of the 20th Century be examined in a manner that is consistent with Warburg’s thesis. Finally we  will offer our experience with  a Dow chemist,  Jim Sheridan, whose work has gone  essentially overlooked by today’s modern science although he was a member of that fraternity for many years.

Is it possible that some among us  know the prime cause of cancer and how “cancer cells’ are awakened and can be successfully suppressed. then eliminated. Is there a bridge to modern science able to connect  the walls of Big Pharma ,and  the costs of double blind research seeking a validation  of what will only be presented as a well reasoned theory of cancer elimination.? Will there be those among my audience willing to offer this theory to clients as information they should consider prior to cancer visiting their families. ?

I will posit that once informed of anecdotal successes we can offer , many would  choose the path I offer my clients.

I am not allowed by law to diagnose nor treat cancer.  I am limited to coaching and counseling to alternatives once a diagnosis from an MD is obtained. Even then I can not  counsel to avoid the traditional “cut and burn” path that is offerred to them. So for now I teach while healthy sharing my “knowledge”  of a cancer cause, its orgination and a method to eliminate  cancer from  one’s body. This presentation will challenge us to build those bridges to Modern Science and save lives.

Abstract:

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the pelvic peritoneum and ovaries, is one of the most commonly diagnosed gynecological conditions in women. It represents a debilitating condition for females and a challenging and complex disease for clinicians. Abnormal menstrual cycles are hard to identify, even for women, and the ability to diagnose endometriosis is limited to serological and imaging tests. Endometriosis is often underdiagnosed and poorly treated, resulting in delayed diagnose, significant pelvic pain and infertility. Studies have shown that endometriosis has a strong affinity towards estrogen, angiogenesis, and dysregulation of the immune system as well as multifactorial causes such as stress, genetics, and environmental factors. An integrative approach may help patients based on the totality of their symptoms while providing treatment that covers the following physiological aspects of endometriosis: anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenetic and aromatase inhibitor. Besides conventional treatment, there is a variety of therapies such as homeopathic medicines, nutritional and herbal supplements which may be used to treat endometriosis. The implementation of nutrition & herbal supplements and homeopathy may help endometriosis patients improve help achieve bleeding control, restore an acceptable menstrual pattern, reduce dysmenorrhea, improve fertility, and reduce the progression of endometriosis using effective natural therapies and providing a long-term solution.
