6th BioCeuticals Research Symposium

Restoring the Balance: Strategies for managing immune-mediated dysfunction.

Recent epidemiological data provides evidence of a steady rise in immune-mediated disorders throughout the industrialised world. The implications of this is profound, affecting not only the immune system’s capacity to protect the body from harmful environmental influences, but also unleashing a cascade of destructive effects upon the body. Fortunately, great strides have been made in our understanding of the drivers of immune dysfunction and how we might address these clinically. Genetic associations, diet, infection, toxicity, the gut microbiota and new functional subsets of T cells are now recognised as some of the crucial factors in regulating immune function.

From 27 - 29 April 2018 BioCeuticals will bring together world leading researchers and clinicians to review this exciting research. They will demonstrate how to apply this rapidly growing body of knowledge to create a cohesive clinical model that offers effective treatment strategies for even the most complex immune related cases.

Under the theme Restoring the Balance: Strategies for managing immune-mediated dysfunction, this symposium will provide an in-depth exploration of the key underlying imbalances that integrative medicine is able to address in order to improve the health of patients suffering from the wide range of illnesses related to altered immune responses.

BioCeuticals is excited to have confirmed some of the world’s leading functional medicine experts in the fields of immunology, neurology, endocrinology, integrative paediatrics and nutritional medicine. Together, these speakers will provide you with the insights required to piece together the underlying factors that drive immune dysfunction leading to inflammation, a break in homeostasis and wide systemic health impacts.

We warmly invite you, our practitioner clients, to join us for this innovative program.

Your’s in health
