Description
In this course, Dr. Satya Ambrose will present information regarding the ethics of using herbs and natural therapies for chronic serious conditions versus conventional medications. In many cases, it’s been shown that herbs work better than drugs, but this is not added into protocol or the PARQ conferences of conventional medicine and the information is ignored or not included in choices of treatment. In fact, once something has been discovered with research, it’s not translated into clinical use for another 20 to 50 years.
Dr. Ambrose will discuss cytokines pathways and how we can use those with herbal therapies to treat chronic autoimmune issues. The information in this area is currently burgeoning. She will also mention all the different underlying causes of diseases that are currently known to interface with autoimmune issues and cover how current clinical cases that are successful – using this information can be used as an example for how to go from here.
This will all be covered under the umbrella of ethics and clinical practice helping you to find the best pharmacological and ethical best practices without prejudice.
