Sunday, May 19

9:00 AM – 10:30 AM

Parasites: The Devil Inside
Kenneth Proefrock, NMD
Parasitic infections pose significant health challenges globally, particularly in impoverished regions. We explore historical and botanical interventions alongside pharmaceutical treatments, while recognizing the need for balance between efficacy and microbiome impact. Anti-parasitic drugs and herbal regimens are more popular than they ever have been, and we explore the efficacy of these protocols, based on the life cycle of the identifiable infective agent. Botanicals addressed include the chemistry of tropane alkaloid containing plants like Datura and Belladonna, as well as cholinergic plants like Pilocarpus, Areca catechu, Piper betel, and Nicotiana spp. We also discuss Juglans niger, Syzigium, Berberis/Algerita/Mahonia spp, Artemisia spp, Castela spp, and Triphala.

It Hurts to Move: Herbal and CAM Treatment of Back Pain and Fibromyalgia
David Winston, RH (AHG)
Chronic back pain is very common, it is the leading cause of missed work in the US and can make getting out of bed miserable. Fibromyalgia causes chronic muscular pain, but is under treated, poorly understood and orthodox treatment options are limited. In this class we will discuss the herbal, nutritional, bodywork and mind/body therapies I have used successfully with my patients for over 40 years that can offer real benefits for both conditions, allowing for better movement, improved flexibility, quality of life and more pain-free days. Note: there is a part of this class that talks about orthodox pharmaceuticals used for back pain and fibromyalgia (for pharm D).

Tree Medicine: Sentient Beings and Allies for Life
Teresa Boardwine, RH (AHG)
Learn how to build a relationship with trees as allies in healing by exploring and identifying the trees in your area. We discuss how trees communicate, and that will lead to a better understanding of trees as sentient beings. We honor the medicinal legacy of their bark, seeds, fruits and roots, and how they support our journey by providing oxygen, shade, leaf litter, canopy for many organisms and food for a multitude of species. The understanding of tree medicine helps us to formulate herbal products to support health, vitality, and balance. You will have a chance to taste some favorite recipes of tree medicine that include; Black Walnut liqueur, Pine Cone syrup and Wild Cherry bark cough syrup. Thank you, Trees!

Herb Walk
Doug and Todd Elliott
Refresh yourself in the forests of Blue Ridge Assembly with Doug and Todd Elliott, the consummate storytellers, entertainers and musicians. Scientific medicinal plant information and folklore are combined in a seamless whole in this walk on the wild side! Join them in one of their favorite stomping grounds, finding botanical treasures at every turn, growing in wild abundance in the fields and forests of Blue Ridge Assembly.

11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

The 4 Horsemen of Chronic Disease: Assessing and Managing the Complicated Case, Pt 2: Environmental Toxins and Nutrient Deficiency
Jason Miller, DACM, LAc
In part 2 of this 2-part series, we explore the interconnected roles that environmental toxins and nutrient deficiency play as drivers of chronic disease. We discuss how to evaluate the presence of environmental toxins and how to address them with botanical medicine therapeutics. Special attention will be given to the most common agents seen in the clinic today, and how they promote the chronic disease process (including heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, pesticides and solvents). In addition, nutrient deficiencies are a growing problem worldwide with Vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, selenium and B12 being among the most prevalent. We give special attention to the most common nutrient deficiencies seen in the clinic today, how they contribute to the chronic disease process, how to effectively test for them, and how to address them. The combination of environmental toxins and nutrient deficiency is wreaking havoc on our physiology. Based on our evaluation and findings, we will be equipped to put together a comprehensive plan that uses a multi-toolbox approach to address some of the most challenging chronic disease cases.

Botanical Analogs for At-Risk Medicinals
Kat Maier, RH (AHG)
United Plant Savers (UpS) has created the invaluable “At-Risk” Tool, which is based on various relationships that we humans, as well as ecosystems, have with the plants. After reading the list, students always ask, “Well, what can we use in its place?” Often times the choice is simple: choose a cultivated species rather than one harvested from the wild. When cultivated species are not available, then it is best to find a plant analog; one having a parallel action, function or end result compared to the herb you want to save. In most instances, it is important and necessary to use a variety of analogs for the at-risk herb because an analog generally satisfies only some of the therapeutic actions of a particular plant species and does not demonstrate all medicinal actions of that plant. It is sometimes difficult to find replacements for our tried and true herb friends, but it also can be very satisfying and will expand your expertise, while helping to replant our future.

Wild Fruits of the Fields and Forests (Demonstration)
Vickie Shufer, MA
Fruits are the seed-bearing parts of plants and include berries, legumes, seeds, and nuts. Discover the abundance of wild fruits growing in our fields and forest that are edible and provide health and medicinal benefits. Find out how to prepare them in ways that are tasty and nutritious. Samples will be available for tasting.

Plant Walk with a Botanical Focus
7Song
On this plant excursion, we focus on the botanical characteristics of the plants in the wild. We look at their flowers, leaves, and other plant parts and discuss why they fit into a particular family, genus and species and ways to identify them. We also describe the medicinal and other uses for these plants.

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Botanicals that Provide Most of the Chemotherapeutic Drugs in Cancer Care
Donald Yance, CN, RH (AHG)
65% of chemotherapeutic agents either come from a plant or have been molecularly compounded based on a plant compound. This presentation reviews the search for cancer drugs in the plant world, taking a detailed look at several plants that have been used to create chemotherapeutic drugs. The discussion includes the difference in action between an isolated constituent and a whole plant extract, and how to combine the whole plant medicine with the chemotherapeutic agent.. We also address metronomic chemotherapy: what it is and why it is often the best option for treatment, even though it is seldom used.

Glutamine/Glutamate Dysfunction and Common Neurological Conditions
Jillian Stansbury, ND
Glutamate dysfunction is noted to contribute to neurologic disorders including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Depression, Epilepsy, Stroke and more. Naturally occurring molecules in herbal medicines can prevent glutamate-driven inflammatory and excitatory states. This session will review herbal medicines capable of reducing excessive glutamate synthesis and release, of  optimizing the expression of glutamate receptors in ionotropic and metabotropic tissues, and of enhancing glutamate transport and clearance from sensitive neurons.  We will review classic TCM formulas for neurologic conditions and Western Herbs for a variety of neurologic disorders that work, in part, via effects on glutaminergic neurotransmission.

Herbal Skin Care Preparations (Demonstration)
Lucretia VanDyke, Herbalist
In this class we will span the globe for botanical based beauty recipes from Asia to my family secrets from the mountains of North Carolina. Learn how to use what’s in your kitchen and the garden to craft skin/body care. We will explore acupressure face massage for sinus and headaches, topical pain relievers, and herbal infused oils for specific skin types.

We will also look at the anatomy of the integumentary system and Chinese Face Mapping to explore what our skin is trying to say about our overall health on a deeper level. We will study the link between indigenous beauty rituals, herbs, and self care to help integrate a slow beauty routine that will help clients with their stress management. This presentation provides tools, practical knowledge, and resources that help clients with skin issues such as eczema, sunburn, acne, shingles, women’s health, and hormonal changes in the skin.

Outdoor Plant Walk: Food as Medicine
Marc Williams, MA
Food as medicine is a concept that is rooted in the healing systems of Ancient Africa, Greece, China, India, and others. It is well known that various compounds such as antioxidants and bitters are helpful in promoting overall health and well-being. Classes of plants, such as adaptogens, make up a large part of the current superfood trends in our society. While walking the grounds of the Blue Ridge Assembly we will participate in an overview of plants and fungi that are prime examples of how food can be medicine, as well as some fascinating stories of how these life forms and humans have interacted over time.

4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Panel Discussion: The Challenges of Climate Change in Clinical Practice
Panelists: Kenneth Proefrock, NMD, Kat Maier, RH (AHG) and Lucretia VanDyke, Herbalist
As the climate warms and changes, it also changes the conditions we are seeing and the therapies we are using. We discuss the effects of a warming climate on general and heart health, the neurological implications of increasing stress from environmental impacts such as wildfires and flooding, and how this affects local communities throughout the US, especially in disadvantaged areas. We also talk about the changing landscape of botanicals available in our bioregion, and how vital it is to support each other and our patients during this time of change.

Online Intensive: Natural Treatment of Prostate Conditions: Blending Western Herbal Practice, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Pharmacy
Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG)
Prostate problems are extremely common and highly amenable to natural prevention and treatment.

• • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is experienced by the majority of men to varying degrees. We discuss how to assess the severity and type of BPH, choosing the most appropriate therapeutics, including when it is necessary to use drugs or refer for surgery (including what types of surgery are best).
  • Chronic prostatitis and pelvic pain are also extremely common, but little discussed. We review various theories of how these conditions arise, and especially debunk the widespread belief that infections always underlie this condition.
  • We will then review prostate cancer. We start with a condition that doesn’t really have a name but is currently mislabeled as low-grade, localized prostate cancer. This unnamed condition especially will be addressed with an eye toward avoiding the vast overtreatment that currently occurs in conventional medicine. Next we delve into established prostate cancer and the power of a combination of natural and conventional therapies, including the many new conventional options for focal (vs. prostate- or even pelvis-wide) treatment.
  • Finally we discuss issues around the prostate in trans feminine people who still have prostates.
  • Case studies are used as illustrations throughout.
