Immune System Review: Fever to Modern Immunotherapy with Gurdev Parmar, ND, FABNO
Worth 1 CE
This talk will review the powerful effects of the body’s hardwired fever response, and how it has been developed over 400 million years of natural selection and evolution. It will review the biological, biochemical and immunological mechanisms forming the basis of a fever. It will review the evidence for and against the suppression of fever as a strategy, and when it is or isn’t necessary to suppress a fever. We will then look at all the treatments used through time to recruit fever as a way of treating infections, psychosis, and cancer. Lastly, we will look at the myriad treatments that have been borne out of our knowledge gained by exploring the immunological mechanisms involved in the building a fever.
Learning Objectives
A better understanding of what happens to their patients during a fever.
I am hoping to foster a larger comfort level of allowing their patient’s fevers to ride when medically appropriate.
An understanding of what the literature offers in regards to when it is necessary to manage a fever in their patients, and when to safely let it ride.
An understanding of all the conventional immunotherapy treatments currently available including checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, therapeutic vaccines, and the non-specific immune modulators.
An understanding of naturopathic treatments currently available including medicinal mushrooms, botanical medicines, mistletoe, vaccines, and fever therapy.
