90 minutes 1.5 CEU credit
In most chronic disease cases in the modern era, the patient is taking prescription pharmaceutical drugs, and the use of non-prescription over-the-counter drugs is nearly universal. In very many cases, the patient is experiencing side effect of the medication but often does not recognize it as such. Where feasible clinically and legally in many case the individual will have to stop using the medication in order to become healthy. Such withdrawal may occur in the overall context of a vitalist approach to the case. In this presentation we offer a strategy for the stages of withdrawal from a medication, with case studies.
