Dr. Prior has studied women’s menstrual cycles, perimenopause and the causes for and treatment of osteoporosis. She is the founder (2002) and Scientific Director of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR). CeMCOR/Prior has shown that regular cycles (with enough estrogen) commonly do not produce sufficient progesterone (anovulation or short luteal phases). More versus fewer ovulatory disturbances within regular cycles are related to significant spinal bone loss in healthy women ages 20-45. She has shown in controlled trials that the ovarian hormone, progesterone, is effective treatment for menopausal hot flushes. She also documented that progesterone is safe for heart health. Dr. Prior is internationally known for her research showing that progesterone increases bone formation by stimulating osteoblasts. More recently, she has documented that estrogen levels, besides being unpredictable, are significantly higher than normal in the perimenopause, the 3-10 years of changes before menopause.

CeMCOR is actively researching women’s health and has a very accessible, informative website that receives on average over 1,700 page views per day (www.cemcor.ca). Prior is also Director of the BC Centre of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMOS) that is studying osteoporosis, fractures and bone density and has followed over 9000 adult women and men across the country for over 16 years, plus about a 1000 youth, ages 16-24, for two years.

She has authored scientific papers numbering over 200 and holds six patents. She is an Honorary Alumna of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine and was awarded its Distinguished Medical Research Lecturer Award (2002). She has numerous other honours including the Ann Voda Lifetime Achievement award of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research.

The human microbiome is the subject of an explosion of medical research. Naturopathic physicians need to be on the leading edge of understanding the link between the intestinal microbiome and the pathogenesis of disease. This lecture will review the current research on the microbiome. Dr. Macdonald will discuss how the microbiome affects our normal physiology, what disturbs its function, the implications for disease, and how to protect this delicate ecosystem.

Dr. Deidre Macdonald has been practicing naturopathic medicine since 1997. She runs a multidisciplinary clinic in Courtenay, BC. She has a BA in Psychology from UBC and received her ND from NCNM in 1996. She is currently a director on the board of the BC Naturopathic Association.

For our Roots of the Profession lecture, Dr. Steven Bailey will draw from his recently published biography of Dr. Ralph Weiss. Before the mid-1930s, health care in North America was composed of many approaches. There coexisted a diversity of medical schools, each addressing a different facet of the healing arts. Doctors could be trained in osteopathy, herbology, homeopathy, chiropractic, and naturopathy—the drugless sciences. For the vast majority of people, the choice of a practitioner was a matter of personal preference. It was in the late 1930s that young Ralph Weiss was trained at the American School of Naturopathy in Manhattan, New York, under the guidance of Dr. Benedict Lust, the father of naturopathy.

Dr. Weiss was a quiet, unassuming individual with a healing gift and a unique story to tell. His path has crossed many of the pioneers of the naturopathic movement, including Kellogg, Pfeiffer, Shelton, Lee, Bragg, Walker, and Howell, to mention just a few. Among the many patients he worked with was Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet. It was he who named Weiss his “reluctant healer.”

Steven Bailey received his ND from NCNM in 1983. Upon graduation, he received a rare award for community service, and was elected to the college’s Board of Trustees, where he served as treasurer, then secretary until 1991. He was the founder of Portland Habilitation Center’s union employment program, the now multi-million dollar organization that employs disabled persons, at union wages and benefits, in providing janitorial and maintenance services in local and government facilities. Dr. Bailey’s program was the first in the nation to provide union employment for the disabled. He regularly presents grand rounds to medical students. Reverend, Steven A. Bailey, ND was ordained in 2010. This honor represents the culmination of theological study, personal commitment, community service, and a walk in grace with the divine. Dr. Bailey continues his naturopathic practice, serving Body – Mind – and Spirit in Portland.

You are 10 per cent human: For every human cell intrinsic to your body you have 10 resident microbes. We have scheduled Dr. Macdonald’s overview human microbiome lecture to immediately precede Peter Conway’s botanical medicine session on the same subject. Research in this area is a new frontier for advances in medicine; the American Gut Project at the University of Colorado is taking a page from 23AndMe, mapping out the microbial landscape of each individual. This humbling new way of thinking about the self has large implications for human and microbial health, which turn out to be inextricably linked. Disorders in our internal ecosystem—a loss of diversity, say, or a proliferation of the “wrong” kind of microbes—may predispose individuals to a whole range of chronic diseases, as well as some infections.

What’s emerging from research into the human microbiome is simultaneously validating many traditional botanical strategies and suggesting new herbal approaches. This presentation will explore the history and the potential of the profound therapeutic fit between medicinal plants and the human-microbe “superorganism.”

Peter Conway is a herbalist trained in the UK. He is a Fellow of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and a Fellow and former President of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy. He is the author of “The Consultation in Phytotherapy,” Elsevier 2011. His background in herbal education is extensive; he is currently a Professor at Pacific Rim College. He moved to the West Coast in 2015 and is now developing his practice on Vancouver Island.

MOVING BEYOND DIURNAL FREE CORTISOL TESTING —THE NEED FOR MORE COMPREHENSIVE CORTISOL TESTING

Mark Newman, MS

LDA IMMUNOTHERAPY:THE NUTS AND BOLTS

W. A. Shrader, MD

CLINICAL ANECDOTES: WHAT WORKS

Shiva Barton, ND

Each currently available test for cortisol offers providers different pieces of the HPA-axis puzzle. Salivary testing is often favored because it has been the only way to test the diurnal pattern of free cortisol. Urine testing typically does not include this information but does add an important piece to the puzzle—cortisol metabolites. Serum testing lacks both of these pieces of information for adrenal assessment. When providers assess HPA-axis function in complex cases, a more comprehensive approach (one that includes the information available in saliva and urine testing) helps practitioners in making clinical decisions. Along with discussing the pros and cons of each available testing modality, a new model of testing adrenal hormones (employed by multiple clinical labs) will be proposed to improve the comprehensiveness of adrenal testing. Case studies that highlight the types of scenarios that may require more comprehensive testing for proper assessment will be presented.

Mark is one of the foremost experts in the area of hormone testing, especially regarding monitoring HRT. Mark has educated thousands of physicians on hormone testing best practices. He received his BSc in Chemistry at Willamette in Oregon, then his MSc in Forensic Chemistry from the University of New Haven. He has held senior research positions with US Biotek, ZRT and Meridian Valley. He currently owns Precision Analytical Consulting.

Building on the overview lecture he gave at ANM11, Dr. Shrader returns to discuss in more detail the uses of low dose allergens immunotherapy. He will focus on what immunotherapy does, how it works, which patients would benefit from treatment, protocols for diagnosis and treatment. He will also provide an update on LDA and autoimmune diseases, autologous vaccines, Dr. Ty Vincent’s Lyme vaccine, among other issues.

Dr. Shrader completed his undergraduate degree at Purdue, his MD at University of Tennessee and his residency at Queen’s Medical Centre in Hawaii. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and a Diplomat of the International Board of Environmental Medicine. He has been a member of ACAM since 1992 and currently sits on their Board of Directors. He is the founder of the American LDA Society. He has been lecturing and presenting research papers on LDA for over twenty years. He practices in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Delegates can share in Dr. Barton’s action packed, interactive and informal session that allows NDs to discuss their successful treatment protocols as well as to ask other NDs for help with cases where guidance is needed. A long-time favorite at AANP, this is Dr. Barton’s first visit to ANM. His session is open for any topics NDs would typically encounter in general practice. In addition, he will also present his “Case of the Year” and “Research Article of the Year.” You must be on site to win his prize for the delegate who answers the mystery question during the middle of the session! Leave this lecture with at least five treatment protocols that can be learnt Saturday, put into practice Monday.

Dr. Shiva Barton graduated from Bastyr University in 1983. He is the past president and co-founder of the Massachusetts Society of Naturopathic Doctors. He was also the founder of the Clinical Support Network. Dr. Barton has spoken at the annual AANP conference for the last 18 years, including the yearly “Clinical Anecdotes: What Works” session, as well as presenting “Therapeutic Magnets for the Treatment of Pain.” He was awarded the AANP Physician of the Year in 2011.
