AS YOU CAN SEE, ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS HAS PREPARED THE PUZZLE PIECE TODAY TO OVERVIEW WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AT HOMECOMING 2015.
The gut is the major interface to the outside world. It is our first line of defense as well as where our first exposure happens. It is where we decide if we are immune tolerant of the world or inflamed by the world. Recent research by Dr. Fasano demonstrates that the inflammatory contribution from the gut results in a host of systemic conditions, from neurologic to auto-immune but even contributing to diabetes and some cancers. He also affirms that movement away from a disease centered paradigm is possible by recognizing underlying processes that are occurring before pathology is evident. We will review highly evidenced biomarkers that map care. The gut is our window to prevention and remission. By addressing the triggers of histamine, pathogens and food sensitivities, as well as the body's ability to handle the assault, through enzymes such as diamine oxidase that degrade histamine, we can halt inflammation and truly practice healthcare and promote wellness.1-29
Objectives discussed for Homecoming Presentation:
1) To understand the extensive influence the gut has on a myriad of pathologies not limited to the GI system. We will review the systemic inflammatory pathways that are triggered from gut health.
2) To understand and be able to actualize the use of cutting-edge biomarkers such as Zonulin, Diamine oxidase, stool culture assessment and C3d/IgG food sensitivity assessment as they result to inflammatory process and pathology.
3) Review the research and evaluate the strength of the literature as it applies to biomarkers and successful natural modulation of these markers.
4) Review medications used in gastroenterology and their effects on diamine oxidase as well as Zonulin and LPS. We will cover PPIs, antibiotics as well as antidepressants and their gut effects.
3. Relevance to the medical profession.
This case based presentation will focus on biomarkers that enhance clinical direction and help in selecting appropriate treatments. Understanding biomarkers can't help to direct length of treatment as well as dosing of therapies.
4. Brief Speaker Bio
