Meet The Speaker
Dr. Neu (aka James R. Neuenschwander, M.D.) is a graduate of the University of Michigan medical school and has spent the last 37 years treat medically complex patients with chronic disease including tick-borne illnesses. He has always sought to determine the underlying causes for his patients symptoms. Since 2007, he has incorporated the biomedical treatment of children with neurodevelopmental issues, such as autism, into his practice and is currently the president of the Medical Academy of Pediatrics and Special Needs: an organization dedicated to the integrative treatment of children and young adults with chronic conditions.
Abstract
Anyone that has a practice with patients that are chronically ill from tick borne illness has dealt with the patient that gets stuck. They may have responded initially to your treatment but have plateaued, or they may not have responded at all. In this presentation, I will look at the role of the mitochondria in the healing process and how mitochondria not only impact the response to infection, but how they are responsible for many of our patient’s symptoms. I will discuss the impact of multiple factors on mitochondrial function. Finally, I will review some action steps on how to treat mitochondrial function and improve your patients’ outcomes.
