Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune demyelinating disease of the nervous system, with intermittent or progressive course, often to disability, and even death.  In contrast, cerebrovascular disease (CVD) events such as stroke can be insidious, or acute, often with morbid disability or death. The completely different patterns of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment across these two disorders call for a wide repertory of knowledge and therapeutics. Dr. McKinney will provide insights into these neurological challenges from decades of clinical practice and scholarship. While explicit naturopathic protocols will be introduced, the therapeutic hierarchy and reasoning to successfully address these significant health conditions are easily applied to a great number of other medical conditions that naturopathic physicians can treat effectively.

When: November 10, 2020, 1:00-2:00 pm EST

Learning objectives

·        Doctors will understand the nutritional requirements of the brain and nervous tissue to repair and heal from a variety of insults.

·        Participants will have succinct clinically validated core therapeutics for auto-immune disorders in general.
