Abstract

---

The author is a world renowned natural medicine and holistic health practitioner. Who will highlight the complex interplay between the autoimmune disease process, genetic mutations like the MTHFR (Methyl Tetra Hydro Folate Receptor), and underlying multiple bacterial and viral infections she sees in female patients in her practice with multiple sclerosis, ALS, lupus, and other autoimmune conditions. The author will discuss the pathology in depth along with the accompanying physiological and biochemical changes seen as a result of microbial infiltration. These include but are not limited to vitamin D status, gluten, and toxic metals such as mercury, intestinal barrier function, gut infections, rickettsia, and iodine. In addition, a large number of the author’s patients with chronic autoimmune conditions also deal with inadvertent exposure to biotoxins. This can trigger an inflammatory cytokine cascade and endocrine axis disruption which is commonly seen that further complicates the clinical picture. The author utilizes sensory, integrative and natural plant based biological and herbal medicine in her practice and will talk about her highly acclaimed bio-individualized genetic based protocols to help alleviate underlying pathology and enhance cellular repair and homeostasis in these patients.
