21st Century Epidemics- Autoimmune, Lyme, and Stealth Infectious Disease
 
The Epidemic of Autoimmune, Lyme, and Stealth Infectious Diseases
 
From children to adults, autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease
and co-infections, and various conditions linked to chronic
stealth infection are growing in incidence at an alarming rate.
While these clinical issues are becoming more widespread
there is considerable controversy and confusion on proper
diagnosis and management options both within orthodox and
complementary medicine. We now have learned through
medical research that years before the diagnosis of these
conditions is finally made there are clinical clues and
laboratory evidence present to either detect or predict the
future emergence of overt diseases in these patients. This
program will help you to understand the most current evidence
related to the etiology of these disorders and how to identity
these conditions early and clinically intervene with nutritional,
pharmaceutical, and lifestyle interventions in order to alter
the pathophysiologic basis of these conditions.
