Description
Autoimmune disorders are on the rise and affecting our children more and more. A “new” category of drugs is in the marketplace for these autoimmune conditions — biologics. Unfortunately, biologics put the patient’s very life at risk while managing the condition.
We don’t have to put our patients’ lives at risk! We can teach them how to live differently for a different outcome and use our skills to help them reframe their traumatic experiences (invariably involved in autoimmunity).
This course offers a deeper understanding of the drugs used to manage autoimmune conditions, the problems they can cause (iatrogenesis) and the steps toward their healing, health, and deprescribing.
