Join Dr. Allison Siebecker, SIBO specialist and Gastro ANP Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, to learn about truly effective natural treatments for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth – the most common cause of IBS). We’ll discuss which Herbal Antibiotics work best for each type of SIBO/IMO and the remarkable benefits (and challenges) of Elemental Diet for treating SIBO. Learning Objectives: Describe the symptoms, sub types and validated treatment approach of SIBO. Customize herbal antibiotic treatments options for patients based on their SIBO/IMO/ISO gas types Implement an elemental diet treatment plan while considering the mechanism of action and potential side effects of treatment. Topics Include: Which Herbal Antibiotics really work for SIBO, and how to make combination formulas work better The 4 different types of SIBO/IMO – and which herbs to use for each type The natural treatment option that works for all types of SIBO – the Elemental Diet Plus, how to increase overall SIBO treatment success

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has been used as an immunomodulating therapy in inflammatory disease for decades. In this webinar we will discuss the history of LDN use and its known mechanisms of action on the immune system and cancer cells. We will review the preclinical and clinical research supporting its use in chronic diseases like autoimmune conditions, neuroinflammatory conditions and cancer. We will discuss prescribing guidelines including dose titration, maintenance dosing, managing side effects and contraindications/interactions so NDs can assist in comanaging patients on this treatment. Case examples will be presented. Application has been made for 1 hour of CONO category A pharmacology credit.

Stealth pathogens are microorganisms characterized by their ability to remain undetected by the immune system through various mechanisms, such as intracellular habitation, antigenic variation, and immune suppression. this can lead to chronic infection/reinfection. Examples of organisms that are stealth pathogens include certain bacteria (e.g., Chlamydia pneumoniae), viruses (e.g., Epstein-Barr Virus), and fungi. In this webinar we will explore the connection between stealth pathogens and chronic diseases, emphasizing conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and certain autoimmune disorders. The webinar will detail how stealth pathogens contribute to disease persistence and exacerbation through chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and molecular mimicry. The need for advanced diagnostic methods, including molecular techniques (PCR) to identify these pathogens will be introduced along. Finally, we will review advanced holistic treatment strategies aimed at eliminating the pathogen and mitigating the effects on immune function and inflammation.
