Speaker: Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG) In this intensive, Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG) discusses the role of herbs in helping counteract and reverse autoimmunity, the underlying cause behind many chronic and acute conditions. The focus is on the immunomodulating herbs, distinguishing them from the immunostimulant herbs, and clarifying the profound and potent (though gentle and slow) effects immunomodulators can have. The differences between these herbs and various immunosuppressive and biologic drugs for autoimmune diseases are considered, along with the problems with these drugs, including herb-drug interactions (positive and negative). Case examples from patients with complex autoimmune diseases are used to illustrate the practical implementation of the strategies presented.
