Cancer, The Disease
of Our Time:
From Traditional Principles to Genetic Signatures
and Molecular Markers
Elevate your cancer care practice.
From the earliest human records of tumors, cancer has played a significant role in human health and disease. This course reviews the evolution of our understanding of cancer from antiquity to the modern day - from the earliest naming conventions to modern day tumor genetics. With a specific emphasis on the role of botanical medicine, this course reviews key genes and pathways that are important targets for Mederi Care therapeutics. The relevance of specific tumor markers, as well as biological terrain markers are reviewed in the context of specific cancers, with special attention given to the most common cancers seen in the modern clinic.
We review the primary causes of cancer, from stress and toxins to microbial pathogens, and the role of the terrain in the prevention, inhibition, or promotion of cancer in the body. We also review some of the brilliant minds that have been influential in developing many of the therapeutic strategies employed in Mederi Care today.
Your purchase also includes exclusive access to our bi-weekly LIVE Q&A sessions with Donnie Yance, CN, RH (AHG) & Jason Miller, DACM, LAc!
