She is also a registered Yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner and plans to pursue fellowship in Global Health.

Abstract:

Introduction: Integrative medicine provides a patient-centered approach to improving and enhancing the therapeutic methods of treating primary care problems. Often, many patients are utilizing such alternative methods due to their own cultural beliefs and backgrounds.

Objective: This study is to determine the prevalence of integrative/alternative medicine amongst our primary care patients and whether any associations are present between specific regions or cultures as well as educational level.

Human Subjects Review: IRB approved as an exempt study

Design: Cross Sectional Survey

Setting: Ambulatory primary care practice. Eligibility criteria 18 years and older. Inclusion criteria includes ability to read and write English and Spanish. Exclusion criteria patients under the age of 18 and patients without capacity to consent will be excluded from survey. Numbers of participants: 500

Anticipated Results: Anticipate that patients are utilizing integrative medicine practices and are willing to include these practices in their formal treatment plans in the future. Anticipate that there are associations between engagement in alternative/integrative practices and patient ethnicity/nationality as well as educational level.

Conclusions: This study is in progress. The knowledge gained from the study will be used to educate physicians to support culturally-informed patient care. We will also the information from this study to devise patient education materials and develop integrative therapeutic plans.

 

Biography:

Amit Kumar Vyas is a founder and President at Homoeopaths Union of Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. He is graduated with a B.H.M.S Degree in 2008 from Rajasthan University, India. He has been treating patients in the city of Bikaner since 2011 by the method of Homeopathic medicines.

 

Abstract:

A drug is decided on symptoms of an individual patient in homeopathy. As life style and geography influences the gene expression and associated diseases, so patients may have some differences in their symptoms of a particular disease accordingly. To cover this situation and expand the range of homeopathic formulations it will be more beneficial to include new raw material resources from untouched geographical regions of the world. The World Health Organization Says, there is about 1.62 billion people with anaemia in the world and half of them is due to iron deficiencies. They can be successfully treated with homeopathy. Underutilized fruits, nuts and vegetables of Thar Desert, Rajasthan are rich sources of carbohydrates, proteins, energy, vitamins like C, B and A, minerals( Iron, Zinc, Calcium etc.) and reported to  have the capacity to prevent and cure various diseases like anaemia, diabetes, hypertension and hidden hunger. It will be more beneficial to include these new raw material resources from untouched geographical region of the world to combat malnutrition anaemia. Aqueous-alcoholic extract( 30%) of  dry fruits of Thar desert of Rajasthan viz. Prosopis cineraria, Capparis decidua, Cymbopogan tetragnobolis, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Ziziphus nummylaria, Citrulus lanatus   and Cucumis colossus  were prepared separately and  homeopathic mother tincture was prepared after mixing them in equal volumes.10 drops thrice a day of the mixture was given to randomly selected 10 outdoor patients of a local homeopathic clinic for 28 days along with main homeopathy remedy as supplement. CBC investigation reports before and after extract mixture administration were compared. Analysis of the CBC records after extract administration showed improvement in anaemic condition as indicated by mean increase of Hemoglobin from11.68g to 12.19g/dL, WBC count from7,16,000 to 8,08,000, Platelet count from 3,08,200 to 3,41,400, PCV from 37.51% to 38.42%, RBC count from 4,19,800 to 4,46,900  with no significant changes in other hematological indices like MCH, MCHC, MCV and DLC. The increasing trend of hematological parameters within normal range values showed that aqueous –alcoholic mixture of native dry fruits of Thar Desert may combat mal nutrition anaemia. These are very preliminary and robust studies and further long term and detailed studies are required.

 

Biography:

Segundo Mesa Castillo as Specialist in Neurology, he worked for 10 years in the Institute of Neurology of Havana, Cuba.  He has worked in Electron Microscopic Studies on Schizophrenia for 32 years. He was awarded with the International Price of the Stanley Foundation Award Program and for the Professional Committee to work as a fellowship position in the Laboratory of the Central Nervous System Studies, National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke under Dr. Joseph Gibbs for a period of six months, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, Washington D.C. USA, June 5, 1990.

 

Abstract:

Background:  There is increasing evidences that favor the prenatal beginning of schizophrenia. These proofs point in the direction of intra-uterine environmental influences that act especially in the course of the second pregnancy trimester creating a straight damage of the brain of the fetus. The existing accessible technology doesn't permit detecting what is happening at cellular level since the human brain is not visible  to a straight analysis in that stage of the life in subjects at great risk of emerging schizophrenia.

 

Methods: In 1977, we instigated a direct electron microscopic investigation of the brain of fetuses at great risk from schizophrenic mothers in imperative to finding differences at cellular level in kin to controls.

 

Results: In these studies, we have noticed within the nuclei of neurons the existence of complete and incomplete viral particles that responded in progressive form with antibodies to herpes simplex hominis type I [HSV1] virus, and mitochondria alterations.

 

Conclusion: The significance of these findings can have useful applications in the deterrence of the illness keeping in awareness it’s direct relative to the aetiology and physiopathology of schizophrenia. A study of amniotic fluid cells in females at danger of taking a schizophrenic offspring is measured. Of being detected the same changes that those detected previously in the cells of the brain of the studied foetuses, it would mean to these females in risk of having a schizophrenia offspring, the voluntary medical disturbance of the pregnancy, earlier sign of the results, or an early anti HSV1 viral treatment as defensive measure of the later progress of the sickness.

Keynote: Master Tung’s Points and advances in fascial plane anatomy
Conference Series Traditional Medicine Congress 2020 International Conference Keynote Speaker James Spears photo
Biography:

James Spears has Graduated from the International Institute of Chinese Medicine in 2001. He has studied in five university hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Hangzhou. From 2008 - 2011 he was approved by the NCCAOM to lead educational tours to China for Post-graduates. He has studied and practiced in the US, Vietnam, and Thailand. He has been practicing the Balance Method and Tung style acupuncture since 2004, and has written the book Meridian Circuit Systems. His current research is on Master Tung’s points and how they relate to fascial plane anatomy. From recent breakthroughs in connective tissue and fasciae functions, much can be understood about traditional point energetics. He is passionate about exploring the physiology of how acupuncture and herbal medicines work. He is also a strong advocate of movement therapies, and has been teaching qi kung and yoga therapy to his clients for many years. His method of practice and teaching is to integrate traditional methods with structural assessments and movement therapy.

Abstract:

Recent advances in fascial plane anatomy have demonstrated a high degree of overlap between the meridians and myo-fascial lines. Taking a functional anatomy perspective, we can come to better understand the actions of acupuncture points. Master Tung’s points and diagnostic systems have become very popular in the last 10 years, and for good reason. These groups of points are very powerful, and can quickly treat even the most difficult disorders. The functions of these points can be better understood through the functional anatomy of the fascial lines described in Anatomy Trains by Tom Myers. According to fascial line anatomy, there are eight primary planes consisting of the Superficial Front Line, Superficial Back Line, Lateral Line, and four arm lines. The Superficial Front Line (SFL) corresponds closely with the stomach meridian, and the Superficial Back Line (SBL) mirrors the urinary bladder meridian. Similarly, the Lateral Line (LL) runs a similar course as the gallbladder meridian, while the Deep Front Line (DFL) relates to the three leg yin meridians. By taking a fascial and anatomical approach to understanding Master Tung’s points, and acupuncture points in general, we can increase our understanding of distal needling actions and indications. The fascial line theory presents a firm anatomical basis for many phenomena observed with acupuncture therapy. Through grounding our understanding in anatomy, and current fascial research, we can begin to develop a stronger scientific consensus on the physiological basis of how acupuncture works. This has great potential for increasing our treatment protocols and outcomes.

She has written and published numerous articles in international journals, magazines, and press on how to re-connect to surpass challenges in the next era.  Her work has been seen on numerous arab press and  TV such as: MTV, Tele Liban, OTV, NBN, Future TV, Khaleej Times, Gulf News, Yoga magazines as seen in the USA, Lebanon, Canada, and Dubai. The Holistic Movement brings light to the evolution of the future human being through consciousness, movement and training that combines the best of every sport practice, movement, alternative medicine, and holistic practices to re-connect the body, mind, spirit  to a higher field of energy.

 

Abstract:

We are witnessing the birth of an E- Human species, extinction of the human species race, in the new era. The human body, mind and spirit is transforming into an E-human species that is a semi-robotic being where movement, thinking, feeling, emotions will vanish. The Holistic movement is the movement of the future that educates, trains, and prepares individuals to surpass all body and mind challenges thru powerful training in Holistic body, mind, education, living, and healing. Its methods prepare the human species to be traditionally interred- connected in body, mind, and soul within and to a higher universal field to surpass future challenges by igniting the human species to adapt to the future era with happiness, health, and youthfulness. Traditional and alternative medicine, and the innovative Holistic movement and ancient practices are integrated in the Holistic methodology to automatically empower individuals to re-connect to their optimal powers in body, mind and spirit as our ancestors have done for centuries. For the majority, the E-Human will overtake and leak into the human body, mind, and soul without or little awareness creating a dis-connected, distorted, unhealthy, unhappy, sickened, and unaligned body, mind and soul to the universal field of energy and themselves. These hazardous challenges will sicken and cripple the human species in and on all three levels. These affects are already visible in the rise of numerous body, mind and health issues. The Holistic movement prepares and trains the human species to be inter-connected within, above, and to know how to surpass external environmental challenges such as: pollution, technology, stress, pandemics and more that are poised on the creation and existence of the human species. It teaches and trains the mind and body thru innovation Holistic education and living in body, mind, emotions, and healing to empower the human species in all three elements. The Holistic Movements is a language that the body and mind recognize and automatically react to. As a result, the human species is left empowered, alive, strong, healthy, human, and internally and externally equally connected within and above to themselves and a larger field. In conclusion, the Holistic movement is the future of existence and the predatory system to train and ignite the body, mind and soul to avoid major challenges thru training and er-aligning oneself equally within and outside of oneself. Our future and lives are in our hands, and the power of this movement and inner connection can transform humans on all levels.

Biography:

Chioma Jovita Nwakamma is a graduate of Plant Science and Biotechnology from Imo State University Owerri, and a Post-graduate student of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Nigeria. Her research interest includes medicinal plants and ethno botany, drug discovery, plant conservation, biotechnology, plant taxonomy and biosystematics. She currently teaches Agriculture and Biological Sciences in one of the high schools in Nigeria.

 

Abstract:

This research surveys and documents information on medicinal plants and their botanical preparations used in the treatment of children’s ailments in South-eastern Nigeria. Children under the age of 5 in developing countries suffer from diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate yearly due to inaccessible and unaffordable health care. Structured questionnaires were administered to the herbal sellers, traditional medicine practitioners, nursing mothers and adult dwellers to collect data on the names of plants used to treat the conditions, methods of preparation, duration of treatment, adverse effects and the methods of administration of the plant materials. A total of 135 plants belonging to 55 families were identified for the management of children’s health in the area. Common paediatric ailments which were said to be treated with herbal remedies by the respondents included malaria, pneumonia, stomach ache, diarrhoea, dysentery, measles, chicken pox/small pox, convulsion, jaundice, pile, ringworm, scabies, eczema, stubborn cough, scurvy, catarrh, wounds, boils, insect bites, food poison, cholera, and umbilical cord complications. Percentages of respondent were; herbal sellers were (48.2%) traditional medical practitioners (21.6%), nursing mothers (11.1%) and others (19.1%). The most occurring plant families were Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Apocynaceae with 8 species of plants each, followed by Annonaceae and Asteriaceae with 7 and 6 species respectively. The recipes were made from the combination of different parts of two or more plants species, and others were made from single plant parts. Methods of extraction were mostly decoction, raw squeezing out of the juice and infusion, while oral administration was the main route of administration.

Biography:

Abstract:

Black ginseng (BG, CJ EnerG), prepared via nine repeated cycles of steaming and drying of fresh ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), contains more accessible acid polysaccharides and smaller and less polar ginsenosides than red ginseng (RG) processed once. Because RG reportedly exhibits host protection against viral infection, we investigated the antiviral effects of BG. Mice were orally administered either BG or RG (10 mg/kg body weight daily) for two weeks followed by infection with the A (H1N1) pdm09 (A/California/04/2009) virus. Mice were fed either BG or RG for one more week. We also included the negative control without treatment and the positive control given Tamiflu. Infected mice were monitored for 14 days to determine the survival rate. Lung tissues were evaluated using virus titer and histological analyses. Cytokine levels were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Mice treated with BG displayed a 100% survival rate against infection while mice treated with RG had a 50% survival rate. Further, BG induced fewer accumulated inflammatory cells in bronchioles than RG. BG also significantly enhanced the levels of GM-CSF and IL-10 during the early and late stages of infection, respectively compared to RG. Thus, BG (CJ EnerG) may be useful as an alternative antiviral adjuvant to modulate immune responses to Influenza A virus.

Abstract:

This study investigates the protective role of Quercetin in Sodium azide induced Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, the role of PPAR-γ in Quercetin mediated protection has been explored. Donepezil served as the positive control in the study. Rat administered  i.p. injection of SAZ. The morris water maze (MWM) test was employed for assessment of learning and memory. Various biochemical estimations, namely brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, Thiobatbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) activity, nitrite/nitrate activity, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were also performed. The study showed that i.p. SAZ significantly impaired learning and memory of the animals along with a significant enhancement in brain AChE, MPO, TBARS, nitrite/nitrate levels and reduction in brain GSH levels. Treatments of Quercetin/ Donepezil significantly attenuated SAZ induced behavioral and biochemical changes. Pre- treatment with bisphenol-A-diglycidyl ether (BADGE), a selective PPAR-γ antagnost, significantly abolished the beneficial effect of Quercetin in i.p. SAZ treated animals. The results of this investigation document a potential role of PPAR-γ in the beneficial effects of Quercetin in i.p. SAZ Alzheimer’s disease.
