Module VI: Drivers of Immune System and Mitochondrial Dysregulation
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.
Upon completion of this module, the participants will:
- Recognize disease processes that are associated with poor thyroid transport and mitochondrial dysfunction
- Learn to evaluate and treat a patient with CFS and FM
- Learn the numerous metabolic/anti-aging treatment modalities from fibromyalgia
- Learn IV therapies for the treatment of fibromyalgia
- Analyze scientific literature on the molecular pathways, disease states and clinical therapies related to mitochondrial function
- Analyze the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of chronic and fibromyalgia
- Review and apply concepts related to Biotoxin Illness, Lyme disease and neuroinflammation
- Synthesize knowledge of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions related to exposures, inflammation and digestive function

Here’s What Fellows Are Saying About Module VI
"I plan on learning more and possible pursue a Master's degree in this area."
- Catherine Hickey
"Great Lectures. Really "love" how Dr Lavalle and Dr Heyman teach. Really enjoyed the cases with Dr Lavalle. Provided the global picture to disease and aging as inflammation and the body's lack of repair resources. Specifically PH Balance, mineralize, histamine status and Nutrient support!"
- David Tsai, MD
