Vitamin B6 has multiple mechanisms of action in humans. Additionally, its biochemistry is complex with multiple vitamers, all having potential effects in the body. Added to this complexity is the known effect of low B6 causing neuropathy, but also a bimodal “B6 toxicity state” where low or high levels of supplementation may trigger neuropathy as …

Neuroinflammation is widespread in the chronic illness community. It is often known as part of the case, but the clinical nuances are often overlooked. In this CE we will discuss the triggers for neurological inflammation, underlying cause areas, and appropriate interventions. Relevant assessment, testing, interventions and pharmacology will be discussed.

Part 1 of this series went into histamine biology and management deeply. In this follow-up CE we will look more closely at the spectrum of mast cell disorders ranging from major pathologies in the mastocytosis family through all the functional mast cell activation syndromes. Causes, aggravations, therapies (natural and pharmacologic), and management will be addressed. …

While seemingly obvious, the issues of toxicant exposure and pathology in the GI tract are often overlooked. In this CE we will look at GI physiology affected by toxicants, exposure sources, the effect on microbiome and immune function, assessment, and natural and pharmacological therapies. Clinical management for both primary GI toxicity as well as secondary GI support …

Multiple Sclerosis is complex and can be difficult to manage medically. There are many potentiallydangerous comorbidities and proper diagnosis and management are critical. In addition to this, insome cases underlying pathology triggering the neurological autoimmune state may be assessedand treated. This case-based discussion of Multiple Sclerosis will discuss the pathogenesis,pharmacology, and assessment of underlying triggers.

Hyperthyroid states are often difficult to manage medically. There are many potentially dangerous comorbidities. In addition to this, in some cases underlying pathology triggering the hyperthyroidstate may be assessed and treated. This case-based discussion of Graves Hyperthyroidism willdiscuss the pathogenesis, pharmacology, and assessment of underlying triggers. Objectives:
