SUMMARY:Treating Alzheimer’s and other Dementias with Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. Currently\, considered the 6th most common cause of death in the United States\, but according to the National Institute of Health\, it should be ranked third (https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/alzheimers-disease-fact-sheet). While the most common form of dementia\, there are lots of different types other than Alzheimer’s. This course will examine these dementias from both biomedical and Chinese points of view\, and discuss Chinese medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Often biomedical treatment involves pharmaceuticals with adverse drug reactions. Chinese medicine can help treat and support patients with dementia. Participants will leave with a real-world approach to treating these conditions.

SUMMARY:Nine Drugs and Ten Herbs to Worry About
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar We may not be able to predict all drug-herb interactions\, but we can determine potentials for interactions This seminar examines how to approach these potential drug-herb interactions. A discussion of basic pharmacology\, including the ADME scheme (absorption\, distribution\, metabolism\, and elimination) and the therapeutic index\, form the foundation of this understanding. The participant will leave with real skills to assess potential interactions and the ability to determine which are important\, which aren’t\, and which may be in the future. Both the nine drugs and ten herbs most prone to drug-herb interactions will be discussed. These drugs and herbs are based on an evidence based approach. and discusses the practical application of the ADME scheme and therapeutic index.

SUMMARY:Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) and Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit)
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar We are going to be recording two episodes of the Sperb’s Herbs podcast. The first covers another Chinese formula\, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction)\, a formula that releases exterior wind-cold. The second episode covers the Chinese herb Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit) from the herbs that relieve food stagnation category. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category\, and functions\, we will explore the history\, quality\, science\, pharmacology\, evidence\, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective\, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!

SUMMARY:GLP-1 Agonists and Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar \nGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists\, such as Ozempic\, Wegovy\, Mounjaro\, and others\, are really popular right now. Like really popular. And several experts say they will fundamentally change our society in our eating habits and in secondary uses such as aiding addictions and sex. This course will look at the science and pharmacology of these drugs as well as how they may work from a Chinses medical view. We will also explore herbs\, Chinese and otherwise\, and supplements that may help support users of GLP-1 agonists or have similar effects and can be used instead of these pharmaceuticals. And\, as usual in our courses\, we will determine the risks of drug-herb interactions. This is a must take course for any modern Chinese medical practitioner and/or herbalist!

SUMMARY:Anticancer Drugs and Chinese Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Click here to sign up for this webinar Anticancer Drugs as a group of drugs are more commonly used than we would like. But cancer is not a singular disease and is actually thousands of very different diseases with only one thing in common: unregulated and malignant cell growth.

This seminar will look at classes of anticancer drugs: alkylating agents\, antimetabolites\, antibiotics\, microtubule inhibitors\, steroid hormones and their antagonists\, monoclonal antibodies\, tyrosine kinase inhibitors\, and other anticancer agents. We will look at what they do and how they do it\, as well as the dangers Chinese medical practitioners need to be aware of when combining with herbs and acupuncture. This is a must review seminar for anyone who has cancer patients in their practice.

Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category\, and functions\, we will explore the history\, quality\, science\, pharmacology\, evidence\, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. Whether that is a unique story or an interesting perspective\, there will always be something different to learn about these herbs and formula!
