Heavy Metals and Chronic Illness Training

Certification Process

Upon completion of this program, participants will receive an industry-recognized Certificate of Completion in Heavy Metal Toxicity and Chronic Illness Management, validating your expertise in environmental toxicology and patient-centered detoxification strategies.

Course Details

Course Content: Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics

This 1-day intensive is meticulously designed to combine theoretical foundations with clinical applicability

Pathophysiology of Heavy Metal Toxicity
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms of metal-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Endocrine-disrupting effects of mercury, cadmium, and arsenic.
- Immunomodulatory impacts and the link to autoimmune pathogenesis.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
- Biomarkers of Exposure: Analysis of blood, urine, and hair mineral levels to quantify toxic load.
- Advanced Testing: Use of provocation chelation tests, RBC mineral panels, and urinary porphyrins.
- Functional Assessments: Incorporating organic acid tests, inflammatory cytokine profiles, and oxidative stress markers.
- Differential diagnosis: distinguishing heavy metal toxicity from other chronic conditions.
Therapeutic Interventions
- Chelation Therapy: Detailed protocols for EDTA, DMSA, and DMPS administration, including dosage optimization, infusion techniques, and safety considerations.
- Nutritional Support: The role of glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid, and vitamin C in augmenting detox pathways.
- djunctive Therapies: Far-infrared sauna therapy, lymphatic drainage, and binders like activated charcoal and chlorella.
- Gut-Liver Axis: Enhancing hepatic clearance through microbiome optimization and bile flow modulation.
Chronic Disease Management
- Case studies in treating neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular dysfunction, and chronic fatigue syndrome linked to heavy metal exposure.
- Strategies for addressing comorbidities such as biofilm formation and persistent organic pollutant synergy.
Preventive Medicine and Patient Education
- Guidelines for minimizing environmental exposure in occupational and domestic settings.
- Educating patients on the synergistic role of diet, hydration, and lifestyle in mitigating toxic load.

Learning Objectives

After completing the Heavy Metals and Chronic Illness Training, participants will be able to:

Analyze Pathogenesis: Comprehend the intricate cellular mechanisms through which heavy metals induce chronic disease.
Employ Diagnostic Precision: Utilize state-of-the-art biomarkers and testing methodologies to accurately identify heavy metal burdens.
Implement Targeted Therapies: Design and execute patient-specific detoxification protocols tailored to individual toxicology profiles.
Optimize Patient Outcomes: Address systemic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune dysregulation in chronically ill patients.
Advance Preventive Strategies: Develop comprehensive plans to educate patients on reducing exposure and supporting innate detoxification pathways.

Prerequisites

To maximize the value of this program, participants should:

Hold an active medical license (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, DDS, or equivalent).
Possess a foundational understanding of biochemistry, pharmacology, and chronic disease management.

Agenda

Please look out for an email with the final agenda 3 days before your course date with more information. For assistance, call 866.333.6747 or email info@empiremedicaltraining.com.

7:45am – 8:00am

Registration

8:00am – 9:00am

Course Introduction and Q&A session based on pre-requisite videos and materials (if required by the course), led by Empire Medical Training’s physician faculty.
Discuss valuable insights, practical tips, and essential tools needed to effectively carry out the hands-on training or lecture presentation, in accordance with course requirements.

9:00am - 12:00pm

Live hands-on training session or lecture presentation (based on course requirements), led by Empire Medical Training’s physician faculty.
For courses with hands-on training, attendees will be in small group breakout sessions with live patients.
For courses with didactic training, attendees will participate in a comprehensive university-style lecture. Some courses will also feature anatomical models or live models to enhance the learning experience.

Breaks

Breaks will be provided throughout the day. Use this opportunity to mix and mingle with vendors and network with other attendees.

*Agenda may be adjusted based on course requirements and operational considerations.

Hands-On Training and Technique Demonstration

During the Physician-supervised training, practitioners will be required to demonstrate their injection techniques. Attendees must administer FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin Type-A products, tailoring their approach to each patient's unique needs.

Safety Measures: Adherence to the safety policies of Empire Medical Training is a requirement for hands-on training. All volunteers who will receive a procedure are required to fill out and agree to the policies before the session as well as adhere to the CDC Guidelines in place.

DISCLAIMER: Agenda listed above is for reference only and may be subject to change. The final agenda will be emailed to you a few days prior to your course. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at 866-333-6747.
