Over the past 2000 years, traditional Chinese medicine has catalogued over 300 seasonal epidemic diseases that occur at a rate of about one every 4-6 years. A great deal of information has been compiled about these seasonal challenges, including how they manifest and how to manage them in the collaborative medical setting. In this lecture, we explore the results of months of intense clinical practice, observation, and research into the different types of epidemic diseases, their manifestations, risks, and effective treatment strategies with botanical medicine. In addition to therapies for acute illness, we discuss COVID \"long-haulers,\" pharmaceutical treatments, and vaccines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\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:\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2021-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Herb-Symposium-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2021 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603413635288,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602276061400,"sku":"21ME13","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_aa46c4d8-dd4e-4102-a46d-db76d549e804.png?v=1752121233"},{"product_id":"long-covid-symptoms-etiology-and-management-plans-from-the-eu","title":"23SW06 - Long COVID: Symptoms, Etiology and Management Plans from the EU","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Lambert-Jack\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJack Lambert, MD, PhD\u003c\/a\u003e From his perspective as a researcher in chronic conditions such as HIV\/AIDS and chronic Lyme disease, Jack Lambert, MD, PhD begins the presentation with his observations and research into the development of long COVID symptoms from the start of the pandemic in March of 2020, and the similarities in symptoms to other long-term conditions such as Lyme disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. Based on his experience in those conditions, he has developed a management plan which includes modifications of diet, lifestyle, and, in some cases, low-dose pharmaceuticals.

The interesting similarities between CFS, Epstein-Barr and long COVID are mentioned, and the discussion is based on these observations. Paul Bergner describes the foundational dietary and nutritional factors which can underlie the many possible symptoms of long covid and other \"long\" chronic diseases. He evaluates nutrient and lifestyle deficiencies in each patient which are associated with common, very specific symptoms of long COVID and other chronic conditions. He explains how herbal therapeutics alone are unlikely to produce a strong recovery if these dietary and lifestyle imbalances are still present. Kenneth Proefrock addresses the medications given for acute COVID and their long-term effects, and whether any of these drugs may be useful in the treatment of long COVID. And finally, David Winston described the syndrome of \"medium COVID\" in which patients develop serious cardiovascular and other symptoms about 6 months after recovery.
