Several decades of research have expanded our understanding of the vast role the GI system plays in health and disease. From the microbial environment within the gut, to the delicate gastrointestinal barrier and its intricate relationship to the immune and neuroendocrine systems, the GI tract is the primary target of functional and conventional therapies alike. This two-day symposium will feature seven authorities answering the most pressing questions in GI-Immune disease and dysfunction. Attendees will leave the symposium with the tools to apply advanced diagnostic and treatment protocols in this critical area of patient care.

Up to 50 million Americans are estimated to have an autoimmune condition,* and annual direct healthcare treatment costs for these patients total $100 billion.¹ Nearly 100 different diseases have been classified as autoimmune in nature, with 40 more suspected.¹ IFM’s 2018 Annual International Conference (AIC), “Solving the Puzzle of Autoimmunity: The Interplay of Gut, Genes, and Environment,” focuses on the exploding research and therapies around the interconnected roles of intestinal permeability, genetic disruptors, and various environmental triggers that coalesce to create autoimmune disease.

The underlying causes of autoimmune disease are multifactorial and complex, and until now, too little attention has been focused on determining the central causal factors. Expanding knowledge into manifestations of the autoimmune process is yielding productive and compelling applications around the tangle of the gut, genes, and environment in the formula. At IFM’s 2018 AIC, we will translate the data into actions that can prevent, treat, and reverse the triggers and mediators of autoimmune disease in patients.

The Environmental Health Symposium is the premier Environmental Medicine conference dedicated to helping clinicians become proficient and current in diagnosing and treating patients whose illness stems from a burden of toxic compounds. This conference provides strategies to prevent and reverse the conditions that are threatening the health and vitality of this and future generations to come.

Each year we invite the experts to join EHS and present the latest and most accurate information. Our twelve presenters from last years’ conference had a combined total of 824 peer-reviewed published articles. This year the conference will be focused on who is most vulnerable to toxic exposures and providing evidence for reducing the total toxic load that all persons carry.

The CDC reports that over 120 toxic chemicals and metals, out of a total of 246 measured, are present in the average U.S. resident. This load is a prime causative factor for all of the epidemic chronic diseases in the U.S. and must be addressed.

Effective means of avoidance and reduction of toxic exposures will be explained in easily adaptable protocols.

Speakers will present their decades worth of experience to the attendees; Solid evidence of toxicant reduction, biomarker and clinical improvement will be presented. You will hear what actually works, not just hopeful theory.

Using current treatment strategies that are peer-reviewed and published in the current medical literature, this conference will provide a solution to the unsustainable current situation of exposure and disease.

At this conference you will:

• Learn effective strategies that safely lower body burden and improve health outcomes.
• Gain expertise in evaluating body burden of toxicants from experts in the field of Environmental Medicine.
• Discover the newest research and the most useful laboratory testing in the field of toxicogenomics and how to apply this knowledge in helping individual patients.
• Become an expert in the application of nutrition and botanical strategies for reducing body burden and avoidance of everyday toxicants in your patients and yourself.

The Premier Environmental Medicine Conference – COMMITTED TO PROPERLY EDUCATING HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ENVIRONMENTALLY INDUCED ILLNESSES

This year’s exciting EHS Conference will focus on effective methods and interventions for reducing toxic load & body burden and new technologies addressing toxicant exposures in correlation to chronic disease epidemics.

• Stop chasing symptoms; start treating the cause
• Learn from the expert clinicians and doctors who have documented results
• You cannot practice effective medicine without this!

Exposure to water damaged buildings, mold and mycotoxins can cause serious illness. Unfortunately, symptoms and illnesses often either go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed leading to ineffective, sometimes dangerous treatments.

The purpose of this workshop is to educate clinicians on the nature of exposures in water-damaged buildings and the mechanisms by which these exposures can lead to serious, often debilitating symptom and to review treatment approaches that have been found to be effective in alleviating symptoms. The workshop will include experts in the field of mold and mycotoxins including toxicologists, neuropsychologists and treating physicians from multiple specialties.

Reversing Cognitive Decline: Advanced Clinical Training in Treating MCI and Early Alzheimer’s Disease – In collaboration with Dale Bredesen, MD, and MPI Cognition.

TODAY’S LANDSCAPE

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide and is poised to become a major public health crisis. To date, there are few single treatments, pharmaceutical or otherwise, that can help with this degenerative condition.

The Institute for Functional Medicine, in collaboration with Dale Bredesen, MD, and MPI Cognition, presents a two-day CME program this December 2017, with an exciting new approach to the treatment of early stage AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). During this program, attendees will learn a multi-pronged treatment strategy for these patients. Using a systems biology approach, attendees will learn to assess patients for MCI and early AD, stratify them based on the likely causes of their dysfunction, and apply a multimodal protocol to individualize treatments for each patient that address the appropriate underlying causes. In this way, you can arrest cognitive decline and in many cases even reverse it.

Environmental toxicity is the “elephant in the room” in women’s health.  While much time is spent using pharmaceuticals to balance hormones and stabilize mood, practitioners often fail to recognize toxic burden as a primary driver of health issues.  Toxins can be potent endocrine disruptors and create a fight-or-flight state in the nervous system. Learn new science behind detoxification and explore how to use food, supplements, and lifestyle to “clear the way” to stable metabolism, hormones, and mood.

This conference will give practitioners a whole body approach to successfully diagnose and treat underlying issues contributing to the manifestations of neurological, social, and behavioral disorders.  Research has revealed that many disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorders often have biomedical causes that contribute to symptoms, from nutritional deficiencies to chronic infections. Patients have better outcomes when these causes are addressed and treated through a combination of specialized testing and nutritional therapies, even in combination with traditional approaches.

This year’s conference will have more new speakers and new topics than ever before!

AFMCP is a well-orchestrated, comprehensive, patient-centered educational program that helps you deepen your clinical understanding and practical application of the Functional Medicine Matrix Model.The digestive system is a critical component of human health with numerous complex functions and interactions with other physiologic systems. The Digestion, Intestinal Permeability, Gut Microbiota, Inflammation, and Nervous System (DIGIN) framework provides an anchor not only for understanding the functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, but also for the dysfunction to which this system is susceptible and can subsequently contribute to chronic disease. Dr. Carnahan will leverage insights gained from Case #1 in the previous session to identify and explore the common etiologies of GI dysfunction.

Remaining 2017 program schedules will be posted at a later date. In the meantime, please feel free to review the information for the June 2017 session to be held in Washington, DC. – See more here!

Medicine is currently at a crossroad. Historically in medicine, a protocol approach has been used. The science is now here to individualize and customize a patient’s care and to also look at the etiology of the problem and not treat only the symptoms.

The science is here to measure hormone levels, amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, and neurotransmitters. New studies to aid in the evaluation of the patient’s gastrointestinal tract have been developed along with new medical therapies. Each medication that is prescribed by a health care provider potentially causes a nutritional depletion that has not been looked at previously in the field of medicine. We now have the capability to measure more than 35 nutrients in the body and supplement the patient with the nutrients that are individualized to their specific needs due to changes in their environment and their own genetic history.

This workshop is designed to fill the gap in knowledge of the practitioner from a protocol-driven treatment system to scientifically based treatment modalities that are designed to provide customized care to their patients.

Surviving Mold and the Center for Research on Biotoxin Associated Illnesses announce the opening of the registration website for the Third Annual State of the Art in CIRS Cutting Edge Conference. This year we will convene in Irvine, California in Hotel Irvine from October 13-16, 2016.

I will be speaking on CIRS Treatment Protocol on the Friday at 10.05am.

The expansion of our conference over the last several years has been phenomenal. Beginning with one day and ten talks for 20 physicians in 2014, our Cutting Edge Conference held in Phoenix in 2015 hosted nearly 200 speakers, healthcare providers and patients. In three short days, we attended 24 hours of intensive, scientific presentations and panel discussions.

Our third conference promises to raise the standards of our conference even higher. In addition to lectures on CIRS, we will hear State of the Art in NeuroQuant and in unusual biofilm forming, possibly-toxin producing Multiply Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci dwelling in biofilm communities in deep aerobic spaces of nose and dental cavitations. For all patients who know that low MSH is a risk factor for MARCoNS, this session on Friday afternoon is a must attend.

We begin with a causal “Meet and Greet” on Thursday evening followed by a full day of lectures/panels on Friday. That night we can all enjoy a keynote presentation presented by Scott McMahon, MD. On Saturday, we begin with a half day of discussions and panel presentations from our Indoor Environmental professionals group, together with a video address from both David Lark and Vince Neil from Australia. Saturday afternoon has plenty of time to review our posters, speak with our vendors and enjoy the afternoon of Cutting Edge speakers.
