Featured Review
Description
This webinar will encompass the causes of pain and inflammation, including the molecular biology and neurological biology mechanisms. We will discuss the chemicals of pain transmission like glutamate and substance P. We will also cover the treatments used in conventional medicine and natural medicine, and their possible mechanisms of action. Included in this discussion will be the effectiveness and problems of different systems of medications in addressing pain including possible pros and cons.
We will also cover how epigenetics affects pain response, for instance how people with a COMT genetic deletion will experience pain more than people who have normal COMT function. We will also show how clinically useful it is to consider medical marijuana and other natural medicines for chronic pain, as well as, finding the underlying cause of the pain and working to resolve it.
