REVERSING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, PART II

Course overview

Autoimmune disease is essentially the body attacking itself. The immune system can either be weak and fail to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and internal pathogens or the body's immune responses become hyper-vigilant and are directed against itself. In Part II of this course, Regan Archibald, an experienced Acupuncturist, teaches you how to identify autoimmune patterns, nutritional deficiencies, toxic burden, gut dysbiosis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), yeast and parasites that can be found at the core of most autoimmune diseases, and a clear plan of how to treat the underlying cause of autoimmune disease with Chinese herbs, western herbs, acupuncture, and dietary modifications. Topics to be discussed include but are not limited to: jing depletion and epigenetics in America, how internal and external environments can lead to autoimmune disease, how to diagnose the microbiome to understand the mechanism behind the majority of autoimmune disease, how major diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and depression have roots in autoimmune disease, how to use TCM diagnostic tools to identity autoimmune diseases, taming cortisol and the HPA axis for autoimmune diseases, lifestyle recommendations, and how to communicate with patients on reversing autoimmunity.
