The focus is on the immunomodulating herbs, distinguishing them from the immunostimulant herbs, and clarifying the profound and potent (though gentle and slow) effects immunomodulators can have. The differences between these herbs and various immunosuppressive and biologic drugs for autoimmune diseases are considered, along with the problems with these drugs, including herb-drug interactions (positive and negative). Case examples from patients with complex autoimmune diseases are used to illustrate the practical implementation of the strategies presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2023-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603434016984,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602265444568,"sku":"23SW21Pt1andPt2","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8.png?v=1761793460"},{"product_id":"mast-cells-their-role-in-health-and-disease-and-botanical-affectors","title":"23ME17 - Mast Cells – Their Role in Health and Disease and Botanical Affectors","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Stansbury-Jill\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJillian Stansbury, ND\u003c\/a\u003e Mast cells are renowned contributors to hypersensitivity reactions, particularly type-I hypersensitivity, through their release of histamine and proteases, as well as potent lipid mediators. The term \"Mast Cell Mediator Disorders\" is being used to refer to the trickster symptoms now being shown to be contributory to a wide range of disorders, which include not just allergic reactions, but a variety of cancers and autoimmune diseases. Many of these cases stump physicians, presenting as digestive, cardiac, psychiatric or other disorders. They are found to involve a spectrum of mast cell disorders only after years of misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. This session will take a deep dive into exploring mast cell activity and botanical agents that can help control abnormal mast cell activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2023-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2023 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603428380888,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602263380184,"sku":"23ME17","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_19d67f38-c081-4c05-8177-08ebe72ae617.png?v=1752121550"},{"product_id":"a-comprehensive-management-plan-for-multiple-sclerosis-botanicals-nutrients-and-the-new-generation-of-pharmaceuticals","title":"24SW16 - A Comprehensive Management Plan for Multiple Sclerosis: Botanicals, Nutrients and the New Generation of Pharmaceuticals","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKenneth Proefrock, NMD\u003c\/a\u003e Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disabling disease of the central nervous system that affects people during early adulthood. Despite several US FDA-approved medications, the treatment options for MS are limited, and up to 70% or more of people with MS explore complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments to help control their MS and treat their symptoms. We discuss the CAM anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective therapies most frequently used, including dietary strategies, fatty acid supplementation, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin D analogs, thiamine derivatives, and other supplementation for both relapsing and progressive forms of MS. We include an overview of the conventional pharmaceutical approaches to MS, many of which are relatively new, with eight new drug interventions approved over the past five years. These represent some interesting shifts in therapeutic strategy, and many are very compatible with botanical medicine interventions. Case histories are included to illustrate these therapies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2024-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2024 Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603413536984,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602261479640,"sku":"24SW16","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8.png?v=1761793460"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/collections\/autoimmune.oembed","provider":"Botanical Medicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
