COURSE TITLE:
Candida Albicans, The Great Imposter
COURSE PRESENTER: J. A. Tankersley D.C. C.Ad.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. To inform the physician of the signs and symptoms of a chronic candidias patient and the attendant risks of ignoring the patient's presentations.
2. The relationship of candida and the obsessive/compulsive behavior of patients that exhibit comorbid (multiple) disorders of both behavior and oftentimes alcohol and other drug abuse patterns.
3. To describe the more scientific based protocols for identification and addressing the various organ damage and emotional problems that are associated with a candida patients life.
4. To prepare the physician with a workable nutritional approach, behavior modification and outside counseling format in order to address the multiple involvements that a candida patient faces.
5. To give the physician intervention tools for family interaction and support which if not given will only lead to more disease and behavior/family disruption problems.
This course will take the physician through the process of recognition and identification of a candida patient; provide a testing format that will monitor the progress of both the patient's compliance and the physicians plan; develop outside counseling contacts and methods of support for the patient and the family.
The chronic patient will have developed a myriad of what appears to be emotional and behavioral problems as well as addictions because of lack of recognition of other physicians. As in R.S.D., the typical physician thought of the patient as a psychiatric patient rather than one having "real" problems from a "real source". The leading physicians now recognize that the R.S.D. patient was not the "crazy one" but that the physicians that ignored and actually abused the patients with excessive pharmaceutical interventions were.
Helping the physician become aware of the subsequent disorders
that can and will develop in an untreated candida patient and
the probability, not possibility of the severe consequences in
that patient's life. These include, liver disease, arterial disease,
skin disorders, headache / T.M.J. disorders, other immunological
complications and possible institutionalization for apparent emotional
disorders.
