Transition from allopathic to integrated medical practiceLouis Cady, MD
This is the keynote lecture of the series of three lectures that Dr. Cady presented to the World Link Medical seminar in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 1, 2012.
The use of conplementary and alternative medicine (SamboGlo
This document provides an overview of a seminar presentation on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and nursing practice. It defines CAM and discusses the most commonly used CAM therapies. It outlines safety concerns regarding regulatory issues and potential interactions. It also discusses nursing considerations for assessing CAM use, educating patients, and ensuring safety. Nurses need knowledge of CAM to understand their patients' health choices and provide guidance on reliable sources of information.
This document discusses the psychological problems experienced by patients in critical care units. It begins by defining critical care and explaining the common medical conditions that result in admission to critical care units. It then explores the psychological effects of the critical care environment, which can include stress, anger, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and sleep problems. Specific psychological problems addressed include stress, anger, depression, anxiety, PTSD, delirium, helplessness, hopelessness, low self-esteem, and body image issues. The document concludes by outlining the nurse's role in assessing and caring for patients' psychosocial needs, including conducting psychological assessments, developing nursing diagnoses, planning and implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes.
The document discusses complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and its increasing use. It defines CAM and describes some common types like herbalism, acupuncture, chiropractic, and homeopathy. The document also provides statistics on CAM use in Saudi Arabia, finding high rates of use in Riyadh and Qassim regions. It discusses the WHO's role in developing national CAM policies and ensuring safety, efficacy, quality, access, and rational use of CAM therapies.
The document discusses end-of-life care for pediatric oncology patients, including an overview of treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. It then covers the process of death and available palliative care resources. Key perspectives discussed include those of patients, parents, siblings, and hospital staff.
Building on the lecture I gave (and uploaded) "Palliative Care: what every primary care doctor should know" I built this talk. It is geared for 1st year medical students who are learning anatomy, physiology, and perhaps some pharmacology and pathophysiology.
In this talk, I do not explicitly address hospice care - as that was provided in an online chapter for students at UMass. I will later upload another slide set on that topic.
I hope you enjoy it.

The lecture I gave for the Indiana University Health Joint Transplant Education and Research Lecture Series on palliative care. That's right, palliative care in transplant patients NOT at the end-of-life.
The CNS will provide education and support to the nursing staff regarding palliative care for dyspnea at end of life. This includes assessing the staff's comfort level and understanding of palliation, as well as determining if family input influenced the decision to transfer Mrs. J to the emergency department against her wishes. The goal is to develop strategies to improve end of life care and decision making in the nursing home setting.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Michael M. Miller on the prescription drug epidemic in the United States. It discusses how increased recognition of pain and addiction as medical conditions has led to more opioid prescriptions being written, resulting in higher rates of addiction, overdoses and deaths. While aiming to improve care, policies promoting greater opioid prescribing have had unintended consequences. The shortage of specialists means general physicians often lack training to safely evaluate and treat pain or addiction. Rising opioid prescription drug abuse now poses a major public health crisis in the U.S.

This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Michael Miller on the ASAM definition of addiction medicine. It discusses how addiction is a brain disease characterized by an inability to abstain from rewarding behaviors and substances. The presentation describes how addiction involves dysfunctions in brain reward circuits like the orbitofrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus and amygdala. Addiction progresses and results in constriction of emotions, behaviors and social connections in a downward spiral, but recovery involves expanding these areas in an upward spiral through treatment and reconnecting socially.
A Neurobiological Look at the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual Disease: Defining A...Rogers Memorial Hospital
Using the 2011 Definition of Addiction of the American Society of Addiction Medicine as well as its historical roots, attendees will learn how addiction is not just about alcohol or other drugs, but it’s about brains; and how it’s not just about mesolimbic reward circuitry, but is about the role of other brain regions in the relationship that persons with addiction develop with sources of reward and relief.

Nurses play a significant role in caring for patients at the end of life. They can help patients live as comfortably as possible until death and help families cope with loss. Palliative care aims to relieve suffering for patients with serious illnesses through pain management and other treatment. Hospice care also provides support to patients and families during the end of life through a team approach. Nurses must effectively manage symptoms like pain, breathing issues, malnutrition and constipation while also providing communication, spiritual support and dignity to the dying patient.
Psychosocial Aspects of Infertility - Jessie Priyanka.NJessie Priyanka.N
This document discusses the psychosocial aspects of infertility. It notes that infertility affects individuals physically, psychologically, emotionally, and financially. Infertile couples experience issues like anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and social stigma. Counseling can help address these psychosocial issues and improve outcomes of infertility treatment. The paper emphasizes that infertility counseling is important for providing support, therapy, and education to couples dealing with the complex biological, psychological, social, and ethical issues caused by infertility. Counseling allows couples to discuss their normal reactions to infertility and helps them cope with the psychological toll, including stress, anxiety, and depression.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life and relieve suffering for patients with serious illnesses. It can be provided along with curative treatment or on its own for comfort care. Total dyspnea involves physical, psychological, social and spiritual factors causing breathing distress. Signs that a patient is actively dying include profound weakness, disorientation, changes in breathing, and vocalizations like grunting.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients facing life-limiting illness and their families through pain and symptom management, psychosocial and spiritual support from diagnosis until end of life. It focuses on preventing and relieving suffering through early identification and treatment of pain, and addresses physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. Palliative care is applicable alongside curative treatments and aims neither to hasten nor postpone death.
This document provides information about palliative care and comfort care at the end of life. It discusses palliative care as improving quality of life for those with life-threatening illness through pain and symptom relief. Comfort care is care that helps or soothes those who are dying with the goal of preventing and relieving suffering while respecting wishes. The document provides guidance on identifying actively dying patients, managing pain and dyspnea with opioids, and using continuous opioid infusions.

During your journey through this slide deck of Geriatric Populations, Pain and Palliative Care for the Older (Geriatric) Adult, you will experience: the assessment of pain; pain management strategies; and learn more about Palliative Care services.
As a health care consumer it is important to recognize and be aware of the quality of life benefits of good pain and symptom control. This begins with a good assessment of the factors contributing to the pain. Pain is a multifaceted experience. There are many barriers to achieving effective pain control in the elderly (geriatric population). Health care providers need to be aware of personal biases surrounding pain for proper pain management. There are also many health care provider misconceptions regarding Palliative Care especially in the geriatric population.
To enrich your geriatric understanding, at the end of this slide deck we discuss Palliative Care: the relief you need when you are experiencing serious medical illness.

This document discusses end of life care decisions in the emergency department. It presents a case scenario of an 86-year-old lady presenting with shortness of breath, chest pain, and other symptoms who is admitted to the ICU and put on life support against her family's wishes. It then poses questions about the issues, ethical considerations, and medico-legal issues around end of life care decisions in the emergency department. It also provides context on tools and guidelines around identifying patients suitable for palliative versus aggressive care.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses through early identification and treatment of pain and other symptoms. Palliative care takes a holistic approach addressing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. Dyspnea, or breathlessness, is a common and distressing symptom experienced by over 50% of hospice patients. A thorough history and assessment of dyspnea is important to identify potential causes and guide treatment options. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions can provide relief, including opioids, benzodiazepines, oxygen, bronchodilators, and corticosteroids. Active management of dyspnea is important during the last hours of life to minimize suffering.
Nutrition and hydration are important aspects of palliative care aimed at improving patient comfort and quality of life. Terminal illnesses can negatively impact nutritional status through issues like malabsorption and increased nutrient needs. While nutrition cannot prolong life, optimal nutrition can empower patients by enabling them to fulfill final goals and maintain dignity. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to address individual patient needs, symptoms, and preferences through oral feeding, enteral nutrition, or parenteral nutrition when appropriate. Hydration also seeks to relieve patient discomfort through careful use of oral hydration or alternatives like subcutaneous hydration.
This document provides an introduction to palliative nursing care. It defines palliative care as an approach that improves quality of life for patients with life-threatening illnesses through pain management and treatment of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems. Palliative care aims to prevent and relieve suffering. It has developed since the 1960s in the UK and US and is now integrated into health care systems worldwide. Palliative care can benefit those with advanced diseases, uncertain medical goals, or end-of-life care needs. Effective palliative care is patient-centered, family-supported, communicates effectively, and works with an interdisciplinary team. Barriers to palliative care include cultural views of death and lack of understanding, knowledge, communication skills

Autismo é uma pena de morte psiquiátrica? Cady - IMMH Brazil 2016Louis Cady, MD
Dr. Cady tackles a remarkably challenging case of autism, plus converts a child that was thought to have autism into one where the child just has ADHD which is well managed with supplements, dietary restrictions, and medication.
Key learning concepts from this talk are:
- the need to not jump ahead to conclusions
- the need to look at ALL the data
- the need to use rational, precise, targeted medication and nutritional supplementation therapy
- the need to identify and treat, if they exist, IgG food allergies.
- the remarkable speed by which some children can be reclaimed from an autism diagnosis
- the importance of not overlooking the thyroid gland, or any other medical problem possible, in working with children with autism.
- My feeling that autism is NOT the "terminal cancer diagnosis" in psychiatry and that help, amelioration, and (sometimes) a total restore to normal function is possible.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to medical systems and practices that are not part of conventional medicine. Around 40% of adults in the United States report using some form of CAM. Common reasons for using CAM include dissatisfaction with conventional medicine, a preference for natural treatments, and a focus on overall wellness rather than just disease treatment. Physicians should be knowledgeable about CAM practices their patients may use, as some can interact harmfully with conventional treatments or be dangerous if used incorrectly. The document outlines various CAM modalities like herbal supplements, acupuncture, yoga and traditional medical systems; discusses integrated medicine approaches; and emphasizes the importance of physicians maintaining open and non-judgmental discussions with patients about all treatment options.

Transition from allopathic to integrated modelLouis Cady, MD
Dr. Cady presented this presentation at the World Link Medical seminar in Salt Lake City, UT on January 27 for the 2012 Medical Seminar Series - Mastering the Protocols for Optimization of Hormone Replacement Therapy, Part 1. It will be presented twice more for World Link Medical in 2012.
The natural medicine physician plays an important role within a new healthcare paradigm focused on wellness rather than just disease treatment. Conventional medicine has had successes but also problems like high costs, side effects, and not addressing the root causes of disease. Patients increasingly seek natural medicine due to these issues with conventional care. A wellness-oriented approach to primary care that emphasizes prevention, lifestyle, and addressing underlying causes can help reduce the disease burden and rising healthcare costs crisis. Research supports that addressing modifiable risk factors through lifestyle and behavioral changes can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity from chronic diseases. Overcoming political and reimbursement barriers can help create a system that better facilitates this wellness-focused approach.
In this first lecture of 2013 at Cady Wellness Institute, Dr. Cady presented the facts and strategies in front of a live audience for rebroadcast on WNIN - our local public television station. These are the EXACT SLIDES used in the presentation. We would like to thank all of those in the live audience who attended.

Health psychology developed in the 1970s to address challenges in healthcare as life expectancy increased and chronic diseases became more prevalent. It aims to promote health and prevent illness by understanding how biological, psychological, and social factors influence health behaviors and outcomes. Key developments included the biopsychosocial model of health and illness, emergence of behavioral medicine, and establishment of the field of health psychology through APA Division 38 in 1978.
This document discusses alternatives to the current healthcare system that focuses more on wellness and prevention of disease. It notes that 70-90% of diseases are preventable through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and stress management. Mind-body practices like tai chi, qigong, and yoga have been shown in research to effectively improve health outcomes related to heart disease, mental health, balance and falls prevention. Health coaching is presented as a way to empower individuals and maximize whole population wellbeing in a more cost effective manner compared to the current medical model. Web-based and group delivery methods are discussed to facilitate widespread implementation.

Two Docs Talk: Drs. Cady & Gabhart Take it On the Road:Louis Cady, MD
Drs Cady and Gabhart of the Cady Wellness Institute deliver a "command performance" at the Kannise Hair Salon in Owensboro - apparently a hotbed interest site for information pertaining to thyroid dysfunction in women. (Hair stylists hear about it all the time!). This was a fun example of staff at CWI "taking it on the road" out to our communities to educate the lay public on topics of self-empowerment.
Dr. Barry White, former HSE National Director, Clinical Strategy and ProgrammesInvestnet
The document discusses issues with the modern healthcare system including a reductionist approach, unrealistic expectations of health, and the failure to address behavioral factors. It argues that defining health as complete well-being has medicalized society and generated unnecessary demand. Bloodletting was the dominant medical practice for over 2000 years based on the ancient humoral theory but provided no improvement in life expectancy. While reductionism led to advances in the 20th century, a holistic approach is also needed. The key is developing self-awareness among both patients and clinicians to reconcile physical, psychological and social well-being.
INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS of fundamentals of nursingJRRolfNeuqelet
This document provides an overview of fundamental nursing concepts related to the concepts of man, health, illness, and wellness. It defines man as a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual being with universal needs. Health is discussed in terms of models that view it as the absence of disease, role performance, adaptation, self-actualization, and interaction between agents, hosts, and environments. Wellness incorporates physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, social, and spiritual components. Factors influencing health beliefs and behaviors are also examined, including internal variables like genetics and external variables like environment and culture. Models of health beliefs and theories of illness and adherence are summarized.
This document defines key concepts related to health, illness, disease, and wellness. It provides definitions of health from WHO and other organizations, distinguishing health from disease and illness. Illness is defined as an individualized perception of changes in body functioning, while disease refers to objective pathological changes. Wellness is presented as an active process rather than an endpoint. Several models of health are described, including the agent-host-environment model, health belief model, health-illness continuum, Dunn's high-level wellness grid, and Travis' illness-wellness continuum. Stages of illness are also outlined.

The only constant in science has, and always will be, change. Facts that were incontrovertible transform into things that we now have control over. And, new facts are discovered to take their place, which will in turn become altered or understood in new ways in the future. This is the rolling road that science has always followed, and in no other area of medicine is it as apparent as in the investigation into the ways we age.

SEND IN THE SHRINKS - 2009 Oliver CME seminarLouis Cady, MD
This one was fun.
I was invited by Dr. Randalll Oliver, MD, Founder of the Oliver Heachache and Pain Clinic in Evansville, to present to an audience of primary care practitioners about how to use pysychiatric mediations ("psychopharmacology") in clinical practice.
Along the way, I covered, ADHD and treatments, depression, anxiety, erectile dysfunction, hypoadrenia, and even touched on hypothyroidism. Although this presentation was in 2009, all of the drugs covered are stills in use, and, at times.... stupidly.
This presentation deconstructs the intricacies of selecting and antidepressant, particularly in the SSRI class.
What is the nature of QUALITY in medicine -for ASQ 11 14 2023.pptLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation, Dr. Cady deconstructs the tensions and stressors on both patients and health care providers in today's system.
This presentation reviews checklists foe liminating mistakes, the actual number of mistakes that are being made in medical practice, and what patients and their loved ones can do for self protection.
This isn't a "bash the doctor" presentation. It's a thoughtful, careful exploration of stresses and ramifications to the current US healthcare system.
This document provides information about a presentation given by Dr. Louis B. Cady on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for depression. It begins with Dr. Cady's credentials and commercial disclosure stating he has received honoraria from several companies but that this presentation is not being underwritten by any company. The presentation then covers how TMS works, its safety and effectiveness compared to antidepressant medications and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and its inclusion in treatment guidelines for depression.
Hormones and Mental Health - Thyroid and Testosterone.pptxLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation for the Psychiatry Redefined program, Dr.
Cady breaks down and deconstructs the accepted, unthinking, "practice guideline based" notions of thyroid and tesotsterone, with there seemingly "normal" levels and dosing, versus what the actual peer reviewed medical literature says. In this presentation, do use of all forms of thyroid, and all forms of testosterone are reviewed. The idiocy of "T4 only treatment" is covered. The use of T4, T3, a combination of T4 and T3, and all of the porcine and compounded products is review.
In terms of testosterone, dr. Katie reviews the concept of "do you want to be optimal or do you want to be normal." He notes that it is "normal" for oil in cars to deteriorate and break down with age. It's also "normal" for men's and women's testosterone (as well as thyroid) to go down with age. The question is, "do we want to do anything about it?"
Logical ways of intervening in both the thyroid and female and male gonadal axes are covered. There is scrupulous attention paid to the thyroid hormone pathways, and the relevance of reverse T3 versus free T3. Similarly, in terms of women, the downstream effect of estradiol coming from testosterone is also reviewed.
The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine 2022.pptLouis Cady, MD
The document discusses the case of a 16-year-old teenager with a long history of treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Previous medication trials with SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antipsychotics, and lamotrigine had failed to provide sustained relief. Upon further evaluation, the doctor found potential contributing factors including an undiagnosed MTHFR gene mutation and hormonal imbalances. The doctor adjusted the teenager's supplements and medications, focusing on addressing the underlying functional issues. At follow-up several months later, the teenager reported significantly improved mood with only brief periods of low mood, though menstrual irregularities persisted.
CORONOFOBIA - Passos práticos para equilibrar as defesas do corpo e da menteLouis Cady, MD
Esta palestra, apresentada em 29 de maio de 2021 para o Congresso de Medicina Integrativa para a Saúde Mental 2020, promovido pelo Laboratório Great Plains no Brasil, enfocou coisas simples e de bom senso que os pacientes (e seus médicos) podem fazer para se manter seguros e viver durante o Pandemia do covid.
Os seguintes conceitos holísticos foram revisados:
- sono adequado e por que é tão importante;
- o uso de melatonina, cientificamente validada como tendo atividade antiviral (referências citadas);
- a importância de diminuir o estresse e técnicas para fazê-lo;
- a necessidade de "comer frutas e vegetais" como sua mãe e sua avó ensinaram devido à ingestão de carotenóides e antioxidantes ((referências citadas);
- o uso adequado de suplementos vitamínicos / nutricionais (referências citadas).
O foco desta apresentação não foram medidas heróicas para salvar vidas na unidade de terapia intensiva para pacientes gravemente enfermos com COVID, mas, sim, técnicas de bom senso, práticas, baratas e (em alguns casos) GRATUITAS para melhorar você e seus pacientes 'saúde e resistência às doenças.
THE MORAL IMPERATIVE OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE - O IMPERATIVO MORAL DA MEDICINA...Louis Cady, MD
Neste programa, o Dr. Cady baseia-se em uma série de casos clínicos para ilustrar a necessidade absoluta e moral do tratamento de precisão de nossos pacientes com todas as ferramentas disponíveis para uso por meio da medicina integrativa.
O uso de testes de polimorfismo MTHFR, testes convencionais e laboratoriais e testes farmacogenômicos foram revisados.
Os casos apresentados ilustram a trágica dificuldade de um menino com deficiência de MTHFR que estava prestes a desviar sua vida; um paciente esquizofrênico com vários problemas de medicina funcional que precisavam ser resolvidos (levedura, glúten, sensibilidade alimentar de IgG); uma estudante universitária a quem foi dito "não há nada de errado com você; seus laboratórios estão bem", embora ela tenha manifestado todos os sintomas relevantes de hipotireoidismo; e um CEO do sexo masculino de 42 anos que estava "tão cansado que parecia morrer" e que, na verdade, estava funcionalmente com pouco testosterona. O último caso revisado foi de um adorável garotinho que tinha autismo e foi recuperado por meio de uma abordagem focada e intensa de medicina integrativa.
Dr. Cady deconstructs some the medical literature about the use of nutrients - and the evidence of what happens in the presence of their insufficiency. Everything for decreased viral replication to decrease brain shrinkage is covered. The role of antioxidant and carotenoids, measured by the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner, is reviewed.
Please note - there is no representation that any nutrient or supplement can treat, prevent, mitigate, or cure any medical condition. It does seem, however, upon reflecting on the medical literature, that there seems to be a lot of evidence for therapeutic effect in the presence of good levels of nutrient, and harm to patients if they have insufficient levels.
Subtitle: The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine
This presentation, two hours in length, was delivered to the A4m MMI Audience in their Frontiers of Neurology - Module 3.
The following topics are reviewed:
- ADHD, Autism, Depression, Schizophrenia

- confounding factors and the ways to mitigate them: Omega6/Omega 3 imbalance in the Western diet, MTHFR polymorphism, the use of elemental lithium, the presence of intestinal dysbiosis and the role of gluten/dairy IgG Food allergies.
- pharmacogenomic testing
The Moral Imperative of Integrative Medicine - IMMH 2020Louis Cady, MD
IN this presentation, Dr. Cady reviews several of the handful of functional, integrative medicine techniques required for a holistic and comprehensive management of psychiatric issues. MTHFR, hormone balance, diagnosis and treating intestinal dysbiosis, need for trace elements, and hormones (including thyroid, testosterone and estradiol) are reviewed.
This brief webinar, a gift to the local Jewish community and Temple Adath B'Nai Israel here in Evansville, IN, reviews the tradition of mindfulness and the interdigitation of Buddhist practices with some Jewish traditions. Dr. Cady reviews the downstream effects of stress, how meditation and mindfulness are useful tools and techniques, and actually how to practice it. Multiple references without being complicated or overdone are provided.
Webinar 5: Designing Your Future: WHAT'S COMING NEXT?Louis Cady, MD
In this capstone webinar presentation, closing out Dr. Cady's series on dealing with COVID 19, he turns his attention to a nunmber of interesting thems:
- what's the REAL case fatality rate of COVID 19
- How is it likely that society will reopen?
- What's going to happen in education and medicine?
- What's going to happen when the robots and AI arrive?
- What's the future going to be out 500 years?
HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HEALTHCARE: An Integrative Medicine ApproachLouis Cady, MD
In this webinar, the fourth in a series of five from Dr. Louis Cady and the Cady Wellness Institute, we focus on the actual dollars and cents of health care expenditures, and the societal and PERSONAL costs of poor health maintenance behavior. We examine the essentially passive US medical system, that would rather drug a symptom than fix the underlying problem.
Great attention is paid on not shaming the patient or the doctors as they exist in the current system. Both groups "do not know what they do not know." Confirmation bias is rampant.
This webinar points the way to living a more vital, energetic life, with a minimum of cost, grief, and misery.
The Do It To Yourself Treatment of Depression - Webinar #3Louis Cady, MD
This is the third in a series of five webinars. The first was on staying alive by boosting your immunity during COVID 19. The second was on not screwing yourself up inside your head. This third one encompasses a romp through the peer reviewed medical literature looking for supplements and nutrients that you could use to self treat depression at home, CAREFULLY. Numerous cautions and warnings are included.
The driving impetus to this program is that many people - due to social isolation and their mental health care, or medical practitioners' offices being closed down - have not been able to get help or succeed in optimizing their treatment for depression. There are multiple useful nutrients for both depression and anxiety in nature's abundant pharmacopeia, and this webinar touches on just a few of them.
I hope you enjoy it.

BOOSTING YOUR IMMUNITY During the COVID 19 PandemicLouis Cady, MD
In this presentation, presented as a live webinar on Monday, April 27th, Dr. Louis Cady of the Cady Wellness Institute reviewed practical, common-sense things that can be done to boost your immunity, with documentation from the peer-reviewed medical literature. Dr. Cady also reviews supplements and nutrients that are established in the peer-reviewed medical literature as having antiviral capabilities. These include Vitamins C,D, and E, Zinc, carotenoids and antioxidants, probiotics, the reishi mushroom, elderberry, cannabidiol (CBD - not marijuana or weed!).
Points presented are scrupulously documented from the medical literature. This presentation does not guarantee or represent that using ANY of these nutrients will "keep you from getting infected or dying" from COVID 19. They are presented for your thoughtful consideration.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Why don’t we DO anything about
it (with our careers, or practices,
and our patients lives)?
43. Factors trapping physicians & HCP’s
• “Doing it, doing it, doing it.” (Michael Gerber, The
E-Myth)
• Already time-pressured –
– Minimal time to think or plan
– PROBABLY ADRENALLY DEPLETED ALREADY,
perhaps with suboptimal thyroid and sex hormones
• Tip – GET YOUR LABS CHECKED!!
• Must “make overhead.”
• Can’t “take chances.”
• Trapped by “provider panel” arrangements,
including cut rate fees. (Alcoa story)
44. Beating the FUDD Factor ™
• F ear
• U ncertainty
• D oubt
• D ESPAIR:
– Don’t know where to start, don’t know how to
test, don’t know how to interpret the labs, afraid
of “hurting” the patient.
45. MAKING THE TRANSITION
• Must DECIDE
– Must have INFO (e.g., this weekend)
– Must INTROSPECT
• Must have something LEGITIMATE to offer
• Start SMALL – both with interventions and testing
– E.g, ¼ grain Armour, or Cytomel 5 MICROgrams, or Cortef 5 mg
twice daily, or FDA approved testosterone for guys
– E.g., OAT and IgG testing
• Get EDUCATION
– IMMH Conferences
– AAMG – American Age Management Medicine Group; Institute for
Functional Medicine.
For hormones – Neal Rouzier & World Link Medical
• Find a mentor (s) – start here
46. Marketing & Practice Development
• Maintain excellence in allopathy, osteopathy,
chiropractic or naturopathic medicine)
– (knowledge base, prescribing, surgery)
– (“Be able to debate the great issues.” – Jim Rohn)
• Know your [new] stuff!
• Do not badmouth the competition. (Chris Lord
example).
• Give CME talks and paper over their objecting
mouths with references.
• Spiritual and ethical clarity.

Mayo

fine).

good!)

inventory clerk.

• Being nice to patients
– (on time, polite, compliment on questions, don’t be a
jerk or abrasive, put yourself into their shoes, etc.)
• Be good and get results. BE THE BEST!
• Be TRANSPARENT – give’em their labs.
– Write on them. Draw pictures. Take time (and BILL
FOR IT).
– Cenegenics model
• Be appropriately self-protective of your time and
talents. “If they show up, bill’em.” – Dan
Kennedy.

60. Success and Failure (Jim Rohn)
What about you? You’ve only got one body.
• “Errors in judgement” - High glycemic eating,
no exercise, poor nutrition, no labs and “flying
blind”, lousy/no supplementation, high stress
practice.
- “Good disciplines” – appropriate diet, labs,
supplementation, exercise, hormones. Stress
management. Decent practice and lifestyle.
61. "If you have knowledge, let others
light their candles in it."
- Margaret Fuller (May 23, 1810 - July 19, 1850)
(American journalist, critic, and
women’s rights advocate.)
I wish you all
the best!
Good luck!

Editor's Notes
Beneficiaries going up; workers going down to support them.
First thing politicians have to do is serve their constiuents – to “maintain the current perceived benefit of the structure.” Next priority is taxes – “You will protect your constituency.” Republicans want tax cuts for everybody. Democrats – protecting their constituency. “Tax the rich” Both see the same problems. Their solution is different. Next, doctors will fight with the hospitals and organizations for reimbursements.
This represents a disconnect between the AMA and physicians.
In the 1960 ’s and 1970’s – when it was known that someone’s child was becoming a doctor, it was viewed as a great accomplishment.
