Phosphatidylcholine is a very important therapeutic in integrative medicine. In this lesson you will learn about the role of intravenous phosphatidylcholine in integrative care from an in an intravenous infusion based context. We will review some of the fundamental processes involved in cardiovascular disease and endothelial dysfunction and how phosphatidylcholine may positively impact these processes. We will review the clinical research on the use of intravenous phosphatidylcholine, particularly in cardiovascular disease, but also on potential neurodegenerative and inflammatory processes. Finally, we will discuss the best practices for administration, how to both assess patients for appropriateness of treatment, administer phosphatidylcholine safely and effectively, and monitor patients. This is an important prerequisite for referring patients to potentially receive delegation for infusion based phosphatidylcholine in your practice

Dr. Marsden ND obtained his undergraduate degree in Human Biology at the University of Toronto and graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2002.
