At a physiological level Endometriosis is a pelvic inflammatory process with altered immune surveillance in the local peritoneal microenvironment. In this three part online seminar Dr Melanie Alexander will present a holistic view discussing the psychological factors and comorbidities that are associated with sustaining the growth and maintenance of endometriosis through endometrial-peritoneal adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, and proliferation.

In this ground-breaking webinar Dr Daniel Weber will discuss: The Prostate Cancer tumour microenvironment (TME), Chronic inflammatory patterns, Immune factors and coagulation and Lipid peroxidationin prostate cancer. Utilising recent studies on Immune system responses to Prostate tumours and the effects of Immune Drug Therapies, Daniel will show how botanicals can act as immune based therapies that regulate inflammatory factors. Additionally, Daniel Weber will discuss how Lipid peroxidation in prostate cancer patients can affect the progression of disease and how it can be measured and treated.

In this webinar Daniel will look at all the various components of the immune system. Is it innate, or adaptive, is it cell-mediated or humoral immunity, is it T-cells, B-cells, macrophages. In particular Daniel will look at cytokines, inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 6, 1 and 17 and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 4 and 10. These are not opposites, but are a dynamic, fluid and flow into each other.

Historically, civilisations have arisen and fallen, each collapse preceded by a paradigm shift, which changes all memes, values and our understanding of reality (See the writings of Jared Diamond). As we enter into a new paradigm we must destroy the old. This is frightening to many, when all of ’this reality’ around us is about to collapse. In this webinar Daniel Weber shows us how to ride the rapids of change and how to flourish in this new reality.

Now, more than ever, our patients need our support. Overwhelmed, fearful and/or bored they need contact from us, if for nothing more than reassurance. The classic face to face is no longer viable and we need to reinvent our practice. For example, you might suggest that your top twenty patients get access to you when needed for a flat monthly fee. Or you establish a Zoom, FaceTime or Skype window each week where they can log on to answer questions and get support, which can feed into a consultation. These or other innovative changes in consultations will perhaps help you maintain an ongoing and successful practice.

The future offers great promise of reinvention and renewal.

Finding meaning and purpose for the practitioner in a changing environment. What do our practitioners need? Creating a new medicinal model based on relationship and support, rather than just remedies.

This is a new model for us as practitioners.

Ovarian cancer is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the world and the tenth most common in China. Endometrial cancer is the sixth most commonly occurring cancer in women in the US and the 15th most commonly occurring cancer overall. There were over 380,000 new cases in 2018.

This Webinar will look at those botanicals, which have chemopreventive* effects in ovarian and endometrial cancer pathways as well as looking at the use of herbs supporting chemotherapy for these diseases.

*chemopreventive definition: the use of substances to prevent or slow the development of cancer

Based on an analysis of prior research, a Johns Hopkins study estimates that more than 250,000 Americans die each year from medical errors. On the CDC's official list, that would rank just behind heart disease and cancer, which each took about 600,000 lives in 2014. The problem is not bad people in health care--it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer and more patient friendly. Is medicine a service or a commodity? On the ground, practitioners of all medical disciplines are ethical, caring and concerned but yet we all operate in a system that de-humanises patients as well as practitioners.

This brief Webinar challenges our assumptions on medicine in all its presentations: Biomedicine, complementary medicine and the latest buzz word, integrative medicine.

This is the second part of Daniel Weber’s talk on Botanicals and Chemotherapy with the focus on MDR.

In this presentation, Daniel Weber will review a number of evidence-based botanical medicines that effectively support patients during chemotherapy and will be focusing on multi-drug resistance, which interferes with chemotherapy. This will help those of your patients, which choose to use chemotherapy.

The standard medical practice in cancer treatment are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These interventions are of major concerns for cancer patients due to serious side-effects. These patients often seek-out complementary practitioners for treatment to manage these issues. We find that patients report fewer side effects, better chemo outcomes, improved QoL and these are but a few of the benefits of botanical medicines. This complementary approach is truly integrative and all evidence supports the hypothesis..

Daniel Weber has been doing seminars on the gut for well over a decade and recent research is showing us what an amazing organ this is.

In this series we shall be looking at the various gut diseases, secondary pathologies; mind and body, which are initiated and progressed by the gut.

Integrative medicine is a new buzz word, which is thrown about without a full understanding of what is involved in IM. Yes, IM is necessary and will be the future of medical practice. However, the integration of two systems of medicine, that on the face of it are incompatible, is not as easy as declaring ‘I do integrative medicine’. What is called scientific medicine or Western medicine is based upon a philosophy of rationalism or reductionism. This was pioneered by Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton, which gave rise to the development of highly impactful treatment. Empirical science was established by such philosophers as Aristotle and David Hume and involves the concept of holism. Integrating holism and reductionism is impossible in the current scientific environment, although both are forms of science.

This brief seminar looks at the possibilities of creating IM by establishing a new paradigm of medicine, whereby all practitioners will transcend their current point-of-view and reconceptualise the entire approach to treatment. Why this paradigm shift is necessary comes down to the fact that currently, there is a struggle between reductionism and holism for the influence on the future of medical practice. There is little or no dialogue between these approaches but a factional power struggle on which group has power to determine how medicine is practiced. For some, this discussion may seem unnecessarily esoteric but in reality, what is currently the major paradigm, Western medicine is likely, through the power it exerts societally, to dominate the outcome. Is it not better for our patients, for our culture and for the well-being of the planet to establish a new.

The current Western scientific approach to oncology is based upon reductionism, that is, the pursuit of the ‘magic bullet’ to cure cancer. This approach, while appropriate and effective in acute conditions, and while valid in treatment is only half of the science needed to treat cancer.

Cancer is a complex, chronic disease that requires a complex, multi-focused approach, which may include Western biomedical interventions along-side complex holistic interventions. The science of holism and reductionism is called integrative oncology. Daniel Weber, PhD, DSc, in these two webinars on integrative treatment protocols for cancer will focus on the cancer micro-environment. The webinars will support practitioners in making effective interventions by addressing factors such as glycolysis, chronic inflammation and coagulation. The intention is to change the underlying dynamics rather than focus on the tumour type.

The purpose of these integrative oncology webinars is to support change in the underlying dynamics of the patient and to allow the person afflicted to restore balance and harmony within a scientific model. The approach taken by Daniel Weber, PhD, DSc is unique in that he is not working to cure cancer but to change those properties that created the tumour.

Systems medicine is an interdisciplinary field of study that looks at the systems of the human body as part of an integrated whole, incorporating biochemical, physiological, and environment interactions. A systems approach looks at the interaction of various organ systems holistically.

In this seminar, ‘Stress, Inflammation and Hormones’ we will look at how stressors that occur in daily life create a low level inflammatory response, an immune response, which impacts the endocrine system. It dysregulates the endocrine function, and further impacts capacity to cope. This activation of endocrine stress response and the activation of chronic inflammatory factors, impacts our capacity to think and correctly perceive relationships and intimacy. The central and autonomic nervous system are also impacted negatively.

We will also look at several theories of emotion and how emotions are different from feelings. Looking specifically at the stress response and its impact on the endocrine system we look at botanicals that are able to treat several of these factors simultaneously. It will be an interesting seminar.
