Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock, ND. This lecture presents a series of case studies gleaned from 24 years in a botanical medicine-based naturopathic family practice. We discuss both acute and chronic pulmonary conditions with clinical pearls and long-term clinical strategies. Cases include management of acute asthma and allergy through early childhood into adulthood, acute and chronic bronchitis, lung cancer (small cell as well as non-small cell), COPD, bronchiectasis and pulmonary fibrosis. Within this discussion will be specific instruction for in-office compounding and at-home compounding of nebulizer solutions as well as other botanical and nutritionally based strategies, and the occasional pharmaceutical-based intervention.
