Description
More than 50 million individuals living within the U.S. now suffer from one or more autoimmune illness and 80% are women. Thirty years ago only one in 400 people developed an autoimmune illness but today one in 12 within the U.S. and one in nine women are diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. Currently, there are 100+ autoimmune disorders all caused by the common thread of autoimmunity. Why the radical change in incidence? Module VI will review the various etiologies of modern-day living that are skyrocketing the incidence of immune and mitochondrial dysregulation and inflammation leading to the clinical manifestations of autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, pain, and sleep dysregulation.

Learning Objectives
- A review of Immunology 101
- Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome: when the immune system is stuck in a vicious cycle and how to reverse that
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: the forgotten side of the immune system
- The genetics of predisposition to autoimmunity
- Mitochondrial Disorder: We will review the robbers of this basic cellular machinery and their impact on aging and chronic disease
- Environmental toxins and their impact on the immune system
- The role of heavy metals and proper elimination
- The role of viruses, bacteria in immune dysregulation
- The role of Lyme disease and mold in immune dysregulation
- Gut dysregulation and its role in inflammation
- The impact of hormones on the immune system
- Chronic inflammation and its role in peripheral sensitization, stress, insomnia, and pain
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, total body pain syndromes, and many others
- Discuss the diagnostic criteria dilemma for mast cell activation diseases
- Review of basic therapy for MCAS
- Review of advanced treatment for MCAS and POTS
- Examine the unique neurobiology of myofascial pain syndrome and the dynamic interplay of muscle nociceptors and endogenous biochemicals in the initiation, amplification, and perpetuation of peripheral and central sensitization
- Distinguish active (i.e., spontaneously painful) MTrPs from latent MTrPs and identify the referred pain patterns commonly encountered in clinical practice
- To understand the basic principles of the Cell Danger Response and the pivotal role played by mitochondria in this reaction
- To understand how metabolomic measurements can provide better diagnostic and treatment options for the treatment of many chronic illnesses, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism
- To understand the expanded conceptualization of the Cell Danger Response as presented in the Healing Cycle, which will help clinicians to understand the precise timing of therapeutic interventions and improve outcomes
- Recognize the importance of immune balance in health and disease
- Identify the key cellular components and functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems
