Immune Competence and Inflammation Control

Speaker: Dr. Chris D. Meletis, Naturopathic Physician

Discussion will provide educational teaching points for clinicians to share with their patients relative to: How, When and Why harnessing the endocannabinoid system is critical for immune and inflammation balance.

Educational takeaways

• Endocannabinoid deficiency in immune/inflammatory dysregulation       
• The “endocannabinoidome” as it relates to the microbiome and cannabinoid receptors       
• Cutting Edge-Peer Reviewed Literature on Novel ways to enhance oral bioavailability.       
• Hemptourage (entourage) effect in clinical practice        
• Genetic SNPs relative to receptors and viral illness (RSV) 
• Pulmonary Inflammation  
• Synergy of phytocannabinoids and augmented clinical efficacy

As healthcare providers we are educators for our patients “translating science into English” or the language of your choice.  This presentation will provide every attendee with information that they have not heard or possibly considered before when it comes to preparing patients for seasonal viruses or historical effects such as COVID-19 pandemic on body and mind. 

Bonus discussion will be on the synergy of some of my favorite botanicals and nutraceuticals that I have successful used since 1992 in my clinical practice.
