Speakers: Kristin Gilmour, BHSc (Naturopathy) and Julianne Grant, BHSc (Naturopathy), BApSc (HM) Phytomedicines and medicinal mushrooms can play an enormous role in overcoming viral infections and in reducing, or averting, their chronic pathological sequalae. This lecture encompasses the physiological mechanisms of acute and chronic viral infection, the mechanisms by which viruses can re-emerge within the host, and the pathophysiological outcomes of chronic infection. Using specific viral examples, including COVID and herpesviruses, this lecture demonstrates the progression from acute to chronic sequalae, and discusses botanical treatment aims and the relevant properties and application of phytomedicines and medicinal mushrooms.
