Deprescribing in Allergies, Asthma and Recurrent Respiratory Infections

Deprescribing in Allergies, Asthma and Recurrent Respiratory Infections

What You'll Learn

  • How conventional medicine sees and treats respiratory issues, how that can drive the pathology deeper, and how to recognize and reverse the pattern
  • The usefulness of inflammation, its purpose in acute disease, and how best to intervene in the various phases without causing harm
  • Iatrogenesis in allergies, asthma and recurrent respiratory infections
  • How to walk along the steps of the Therapeutic Order, asking "why" one is considering using a given modality, with the goal of disease reversal in mind
  • How to deprescribe the drugs

Description

Practitioners see respiratory issues every day. Many of our patients come to us for the sole purpose of getting OFF their prescriptions!

This course is designed for those practitioners who enjoy teaching their patients how to live differently for a different outcome and those wanting to know more about drugs used in respiratory issues. Dr. Christie Fleetwood will answer questions such as how to offset the worst of the “side effects”, and how to ultimately remove the medications while following subjective symptoms and objective signs of over-medication.

Strategies for deprescribing and the nearly literal “steps” of deprescribing and the rationale behind each are included. Fun Pharm with Fleetwood!
