Uncovering the Hidden Causes of Autoimmune Diseases:
A Comprehensive Naturopathic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
Join Dr. Eugene Zampieron, a leading expert in naturopathic medicine, for an in-depth exploration of the complex and often misunderstood causes of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjogren’s syndrome, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Dr. Zampieron will begin by examining the immune system dysfunction that causes the body to attack itself, a concept first identified by Nobel laureate Paul Ehrlich as “horror autotoxicus.”
The workshop will cover a wide array of potential triggers for autoimmunity, including hormonal imbalances, oxidative stress, microbial infections, environmental toxins, and genetic predispositions. Dr. Zampieron will also review the latest scientific theories on the pathogenesis of autoimmune conditions and discuss methods to identify these root causes in individual patients. The latter two-thirds of the workshop will provide an abundance of clinical pearls, focusing on evidence-based natural therapies for both addressing the underlying triggers and managing symptoms such as pain and physical impairment.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the underlying causes of complex autoimmune diseases and practical strategies for treating both the root causes and symptoms in clinical practice. There will be generous Q & A time near the end of the workshop, with Dr. Michael Friedman joining Dr. Zampieron to answer questions.
Key Topics Covered:
- Hormonal Alterations: Exploring sex-linked theories and the role of estrogen in autoimmune diseases.
- Immune System Dysregulation: Excessive complement activity and abnormal immune responses.
- Oxidative Stress: The impact of reactive oxygen species on autoimmune pathogenesis.
- Gut Health and Dysbiosis: The role of gut microbes in triggering and spreading autoimmune responses.
- Pathogens and Toxins: The influence of environmental insults and stealth pathogens on immune dysfunction.
- Natural Treatment Strategies: Endocrine support, immune modulation, pathogen destruction, and pain relief through natural therapies.
