Heavy metal exposure comes from many sources environmentally. All of us are exposed to various metals whether it's from food, water, or air, and the bioaccumulation of these metals can lead to health challenges. It is well-known that there are certain metals like aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury that carry high toxicity potential and various metal binders can be used to assist in their removal from tissue spaces through the process of heavy metal detoxification, aka chelation. The focus of this lecture by Kurt N. Woeller, D.O. of Integrative Medicine Academy is to discuss certain metal exposures and the chemistry behind their chelation and why certain detoxifying agents are preferable over others.

Fungal infections of various types can initiate immune dysfunction leading to systemic infection and serious disease. The overuse of antibiotics and subsequent microbiome disruption, along with other factors, e.g., nutrient imbalances, mucosal surface damage, can increase the potential for autoimmunity and related diseases. Various immune cells and their cytokines are intimately involved in regulating mucosal reactivity to opportunistic fungus. It is the dysregulation of these factors which create the potential for fungal related autoimmunity. This webinar will explore these details and more.

Autism and other special needs individuals often have biochemical and nutritional imbalances that contribute to language, socialization, and behavioral problems. In some situations, these issues are exacerbated by fungal toxins linked to chronic candidiasis and mold-produced compounds. For example, chemical aldehydes from fungus are known to be highly reactive compounds that need to be converted to less toxic forms via converting enzymes and phase detoxification within the liver. These aldehydes and other compounds can have detrimental effects within the body. The use of various nutrients such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), etc. are often essential in supporting the body against fungal toxins. This lecture designed for health professionals, as well as parents and caregivers will discuss new information related to certain fungal toxins and strategies for treatment.

BHRT can be an effective method for replacing diminished sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. This lecture by Dr. Tracy Tranchitella will discuss modes of delivery (e.g. oral, transdermal), best absorption, follow-up testing and more.
