Lecture Schedule
8am Pacific • 11am Eastern
Treatment Approaches for Patients Affected by EMF Exposures
Elevated levels of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) in the home is another exposure that can disproportionately affect sensitized complex, chronically ill patients. Dr. McCarter presents approaches to diagnosis and treatment of EMF hypersensitive patients. Total body load, strategies to reduce environmental exposure, and medical treatments are covered.
9:15am Pacific • 12:15pm Eastern
The Clinician’s Guide to Key IAQ Learning Objectives
Clinicians are often the first to suggest that a patient evaluate the health of their home environment. Many of the questions that naturally arise are directed at the clinician. From “Aren’t all basements musty?” to “What test should I do?” to “Do I have to move?” Michael helps clinicians prepare for the questions, and steps, that come next.
9:30am Pacific • 12:30pm Eastern
Key Messages for Helping Patients Successfully Navigate Indoor Environmental Assessment
With the power to turn ‘home’ from a place of sanctuary into a place of constant threat, even the suggestion of mold can be a challenging experience. Seasoned clinicians share hard-earned wisdom on effective messages to help patients navigate the process of mold assessment. Panel members include Mary Ackerley, MD, Kelly McCann, MD, Nafysa Parpia, ND, Larry Schwartz, CIEC, and Mark Su, MD.
9:40am Pacific • 12:40pm Eastern
Indoor Air Quality Fundamentals: How Clean is Clean Enough for the Sensitive Patient?
Clinicians are often the first to suggest that a patient evaluate the health of their home environment. But soon, sources of contamination have been discovered, and what was once invisible now seems insurmountable. Linda tackles answers to important questions: Does a highly reactive patient need perfect air quality, or even a mold-free environment to heal? How do we know when the air quality is ‘clean enough’?
11am Pacific • 2pm Eastern
Evaluation and Treatment of Toxicant Exposures in the Home
Patients are commonly affected by elevated levels of chemicals and synthetic toxicants within the air in their home, from both indoor and outdoor sources. Key strategies for identifying and reducing these exposures.
12:30pm Pacific • 3:30pm Eastern
The Clinician’s Guide to Key Learning Objectives in Medically-Sound Mold Remediation
Unfortunately, mold remediation remains a mostly unlicensed and unregulated industry. ‘Traditional’ remediation even by experienced companies commonly makes sensitive patients sicker. Learn to recognize key industry best practices plus additional ISEAI standards for remediation for sensitive patients.
12:45pm Pacific • 3:45pm Eastern
Interactive Workshop: Identifying Key Components and Red Flags in Mold Remediation Plans
Apply principles from the prior lecture to evaluate real remediation plans.
1:30pm Pacific • 4:30pm Eastern
Medically-Sound Mold Assessment & Remediation: Approaches for Patients with Limited Resources
Practical strategies for evaluating and reducing mold exposure when resources are limited. Unfortunately, cutting corners in assessment and remediation can both make sensitive patients worse. Learn what can be cut without compromising a medically-sound approach.
2:15pm Pacific • 5:15pm Eastern
Key Messages for Helping Patients Successfully Navigate Mold Remediation
Mold remediation can be a logistically and emotionally draining process for patients. Most want to know if all the time, effort, and resources are really going to get them better. Seasoned clinicians share hard-earned wisdom on effective messages to help patients navigate the process of mold remediation.
2:30pm Pacific • 5:30pm Eastern
Simple Solutions to Improve Air Quality for Patients with Low Resources, Including Renters
Practical strategies for improving air quality when patients lack control over the building and/or have little or very little funding to devote to improvements. Strategies reviewed include ventilation, small particle cleaning, filtration, and more.
3:15pm Pacific • 6:15pm Eastern
Small Particle Cleaning 101
Practical strategies for improving air quality when patients lack control over the building and/or have little or very little funding to devote to improvements. Strategies reviewed include ventilation, small particle cleaning, filtration, and more.
3:30pm Pacific • 6:30pm Eastern
Keep or Toss? Guide for Clinicians
ISEAI IEPs share best practices for small particle cleaning of belongings. Contrary to some internet wisdom, it is rarely necessary to ‘leave everything behind.’ Key considerations regarding what to keep and what to toss, and how the patient’s sensitivity level and risk tolerance affect decision-making.
3:45pm Pacific • 6:45pm Eastern
Live Q&A with IEP Committee Panel
ISEAI IEPs answer questions live from the clinician audience.
“Critical information to help patients and their homes heal.”
“Inspiration to carry on, and clinical insights I will use with my patients on Monday.”
“Cutting-edge, can’t-miss event for those of us caring for complex, chronically ill patients.”
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR ENVIROMENTALLY ACQUIRED ILLNESS
ISEAI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization co-founded by 350+ clinician members to raise awareness about the environmental causes of complex chronic illness and to advance the care of patients through clinical practice, education and research.
Our vision is a world where a wide range of clinicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat the root causes of debilitating complex chronic and inflammatory illnesses.
