Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock, NMD Several case studies in a variety of neurodegenerative conditions are presented to illustrate the pharmacology of conventional care and how we specifically strategize to implement alternatives. In each case we discuss the biochemistry and rationale for the prescribed pharmacologic agents and then the botanical and nutritional strategies that we use to eliminate the pharmaceutical, or minimize its dosage, and/or modify its side effects.

Cases included in this discussion: Parkinson’s disease (2 cases), Multiple Sclerosis (1 case with commentary on other autoimmune conditions) and Dementia/Cognitive decline/Alzheimer’s (2 cases–Lewy body and Bismuth toxicity).
