Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 NCCAOM Approved for 12 PDA’s Kingoff Acupuncture Presents 2009 East Coast Acupuncture Conference Dr Jake P. Fratkin, OMD Author of Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines 1999 Acupuncturist of the Year, AAOM 2006 Teacher of the Year, AATAOM The Definitive Leaky Gut Syndrome Seminar Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) is a major cause of disease and dysfunction in modern society, and in my practice accounts for at least 50% of chronic complaints, as confirmed by laboratory tests. In LGS, the epithelium on the villi of the small intestine becomes inflamed and irritated, which allows metabolic and microbial toxins of the small intestines to flood into the blood stream. This event compromises the liver, the lymphatic system, the immune response, and the endocrine system. It is often the primary cause of the following common conditions: asthma, food allergies, chronic sinusitis, eczema, urticaria, migraine, irritable bowel, fungal disorders, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory joint disorders including rheumatoid arthritis. It also contributes to PMS, uterine fibroid, and breast fibroid. Leaky Gut Syndrome is often the real basis for chronic fatigue syndrome and pediatric immune deficiencies. Leaky Gut Syndrome is reaching epidemic proportions within the US population. As a disease entity, it has not been discussed in classical or modern TCM literature. In fact, taking a strictly classical Chinese medicine approach to LGS is often ineffective or only partially effective, because the disease is not addressed in all of its complexity. TCM has never addressed the issue because it is a modern phenomenon. In this seminar, you will learn which lab tests to order and how to interpret them. You will then learn how to apply Zang-Fu differential diagnosis in order to appropriately treat LGS with Chinese Herbs, Acupuncture, Pro-biotic supplements, and Diet. Dr Fratkin is the definitive speaker on this topic and this is his most in-depth lecture to date. This twelve-hour lecture will not be held again before 2011.
