Understanding and Managing Microbial Resistance: A Chinese medicine perspective Presented by Brandon Horn, PhD, JD, LAc

 Understanding and Managing Microbial Resistance: A Chinese medicine perspective - Presented by Brandon Horn, PhD, JD, LAc  

In recent years we are seeing a sharp increase in pathogens that do not respond to pharmaceutical treatment. Conditions such as reproductive  infections that were once relatively easy to treat are becoming resistant to all known pharmaceuticals and even to herbal medicines.  

Historically Chinese medicine has presented a sophisticated description of pathogens and their interactions with the body, yet a solid understanding of the presented concepts was confusing and often elusive.  

In this lecture, Brandon Horn reviews the  Chinese medicine concepts of latent pathogens and how these pathogens are able to evade both the body’s defenses and treatments; leading to chronic degenerative diseases and infertility. He will further review relatively new concepts in microbiology* that explain the Chinese medicine descriptions of microbial pathogenesis. This information provides highly useful insights…
