COVID-19 Long-Haul Panel

Event: Integrative Healthcare Symposium (IHS)-2022

Title: COVID-19 Long Haul Syndrome-Exploring the Controversies and Pathways
Forward

Chair/Moderator David M. Brady, ND

Panelists: Bruce Patterson, MD
Richard Horowitz, MD
Tom Fabian, PhD
Gez Medinger

Summary:

Post-COVID-19 Syndrome, often known as Long-Haul Syndrome, represents a complex multi-factorial phenomenon that is being observed clinically in a significant percentage of those individuals that have recovered from initial acute COVID-19, but have far from fully recovered. There are millions of people suffering from ongoing persistent fatigue and malaise, joint pain and body aches, tachycardia, headaches, brain-fog, strange neurological symptoms, and many more problems long after the initial illness associated with SARS-CoV2 has passed. They are being observed both in the developed and under-developed world. It is becoming very clear that Long-Haul Syndrome is a complex entity and may represent the result of a “perfect storm” of biological and environmental factors and that a systems-biology
approach, utilizing a wider-lens perspective, will be required as these subjects are approached clinically. There exists considerable gaps between the focus of the initial research into this phenomenon and the current approach to these conditions in standard clinical medicine, with standard interventions based predominantly on symptom control. This expert panel with review the various hypotheses proposed to explain this emerging post-pandemic epidemic. Discussion elements will include an exploration of why some go on to suffer from long-term
symptoms, and many do not. The role of the immune system and its complicated reaction and adaptations to SARS-CoV-2, post-viral vascular/endothelial/glycocalyx aberrations, alterations in the GI microbiota and microbial metabolites, molecular mimicry, and other aspects of pathogenesis will also be explored along with how these may serve as leverage points for new diagnostics and clinical interventions.

Objectives:

1. Appreciate the current epidemiologic trends in
post-COVID Long Haul Syndrome.

2. Understand the linkage and association between Long-Haul and factors including immunological cytokine patterns, vascular abnormalities, the GI microbiota, ongoing stealth infections, molecular mimicry, and other
elements.

3. Appreciate the available emerging clinical
laboratory testing related to long-haul diagnosis, and clinical management, including complex cytokine pattern analysis, qPCR molecular-based evaluation of the GI microbiota, antigen testing, and others.

4. Understand the available evidence-based drug, nutritional, lifestyle and complementary therapeutic interventions for autoimmune disorders.

5. Become enlightened on the “patient experience”
and strategies of collaborative care for patients with long-haul syndrome.

General Outline:

1.
Opening statement and panelist introductions by Dr.
Brady.

2.
5-minute opening statement by each panelist outlining
their specific interests and areas of clinical or research focus regarding long-haul syndrome.

3.
Questions posed to individual panelists and the collective from panel moderator (To be further
developed and proposed).

4.
Q&A with audience members

NEED YOUR HELP NOW – PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CT LEGISLATOR

admin — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 17:22:25 +0000

Dear NDs, ND Students, Friends and Advocates,

CNPA (Connecticut Naturopathic Physicians Associaton) and UB College of Naturopathic Medicine are making progress in our effort to bring prescriptive authority to Naturopathic Doctors in Connecticut. Our Bill is H.B. No. 5294: ‘AN ACT CONCERNING NATUROPATHS’, will establish a procedure for naturopathic physicians to use LIMITED prescription medications.

YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED RIGHT NOW. We are targeting Public Health Committee members (PHC) as our Bill H.B. 5294 awaits a positive vote by the committee members to keep it moving. If your legislator is on the Public Health Committee your ACTION “NOW” IS CRUCIAL! (see link below).

NDs, ND students, family members, friends, and supporters have a role regardless of where in CT they live:

If your legislator is a member of the PHC, contact them to tell them you want them to vote YES on HB 5294.
If your legislator is NOT on the Public Health Committee (PHC), contact them to tell them you want them to encourage PHC members to vote YES on HB 5294.

IT IS IMPERATIVE… Only contact a PHC member IF you live in their district. Legislators LISTEN mostly to THEIR constituents.

Click Here to download a list of PHC members.

We also have another way to determine if you legislator is on the PCH and how to contact them. We created an automated email to help people send a letter to legislators on the Public Health Committee:

Use this link http://www.congressweb.com/AANP/65/ to see if you have a legislator on the PHC (put in your address and zip code). If you do not you will get this message (No recipients were found for your address).
If your State Legislator is NOT a member of the PHC , click on this link to send a letter http://www.congressweb.com/AANP/66/. Ask your legislator to speak with PHC members to support passing our bill out of the committee.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ADD A PERSONAL NOTE IN THE AREA PROVIDED.

Please keep in mind, even if your legislator is not on the PHC, the representative of family, friends, patients, or supporters may be. Ask them to contact the member. You can share the above links.

IN ADDITION TO YOUR EMAIL, CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS AND LEAVE THE SAME MESSAGE ON VOICEMAIL OR WITH AN AIDE. ALL CONTACTS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. EMAILS ALONE MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE.

Please act quickly. Thank you for your help.

Rick Liva RPh, ND President & Legislative Chair
Jon Goodman ND, Vice President and the CNPA Board Members.

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCED BRAIN PERFOMANCE

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 17:13:17 +0000

Dr. Adam Breiner has had a busy schedule attending several cutting-edge advanced courses for enhanced Brain Performance.

Dr. Breiner writes on his
NeuroEdge Brain Performance Facebook Page “We have some amazing new equipment so we can help improve the brain’s function and ability, in a quicker and more powerful way than ever before!“ Our new NeuroField equipment, which utilizes a very targeted approach to helping the brain “re-wire” utilizing trans cranial magnetic and

Dr. Adam Breiner and Neurofield Creator, Dr. Nicholas Dogris

electrical stimulation based on the person’s EEG; we combine this with customized neurofeedback protocols.

Training was done with NeuroField creator, Dr. Nicholas Dogris, this past January in beautiful Virginia Beach, VA.

(http://www.neurofield.org)

Dr. Adam Breiner and TBI Therapy protocol founder, Dr. John Hughes

February brought Dr. Adam Breiner to

Basalt, Colorado to train with Dr. John Hughes, for his patented TBI Therapy protocol that utilizes activated PRP (platelet rich plasma) and Stem Cells, in combination with hyperbaric oxygen and other modalities for brain injuries and cognitive enhancement. Dr. Breiner states. “
We will be the first Center outside of Dr. Hughes’s clinic to offer this amazing therapy.”
http://tbitherapy.com/

While in Colorado, Dr. Breiner also spent time with Dr. David Jensen where he observed and experienced Cranial Facial Release. Dr. Hughes states, “One therapy that we like patients to have prior to getting the intranasal PRP/Stem Cells is called Cranial Facial Release (also known as NCR, or Nasal Specific). “

According to Dr. Jensen: Cranial Facial Release’s “primary objective is to mobilize the cranial bones, unlock cranial fixations, open the breathing passageways, facilitate cerebral spinal fluid flow, increase vascular flow to and venous drainage from the cranium, and optimizes brain function. This often times improves symptoms related to various neurological disorders.”

For more information on the above cutting-edge techniques watch the videos and comments posted by Dr. Adam Breiner on The Neuro-Edge Brain Performance Center’s FaceBook Page
