Seminar: Allergies: Nothing to
Sneeze At Allergies are more than just the horrible runny nose and itchy eyes. Suppressing those symptoms might make you feel better, but it won't solve the problem. Find out how to treat your allergies symptoms in a way that lessens your reactions and supports your overall health. In this one hour talk, Dr. Gary Weiner will present the naturopathic and Chinese Medicine understanding of allergy, and outline successful treatment strategies that really work. Seminar: An Introduction to Naturopathic Medicine with an Application to Treatment of Eye Diseases In this one hour talk, Dr. Gary Weiner, naturopathic physician and acupuncturist, will present a basic introduction to naturopathic medicine in an integrated medical landscape such as Portland, Oregon, with special attention to applications of natural medicine to diseases of the eye.

Stress & Disease Adrenal fatigue (technically called hypoadrenia and hypoadrenalism) has been one of our most prevalent yet rarely diagnosed conditions for the last fifty years. Despite being described in medical texts in the 1800’s, and despite the development of the first really effective treatment in the 1930’s, most “conventional” physicians are unaware that the problem exists! The purpose of your adrenal glands is to help your body cope with stresses and survive. The adrenals are known as “the glands of stress.” It is their job to enable the body to deal with stress from every possible source, ranging from injury and disease to work and relationship problems. Your resiliency, energy, and endurance all depend on their proper functioning. Learn about adrenal health and adrenal imbalance in this one-hour presentation about stress disorders, their diagnosis and treatment. Topics will include:
Seminar:
Optimal Thyroid Health Thyroid illnesses (most commonly hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism) are best treated in the context of one’s overall health. In this one-hour presentation, Dr. Gary Weiner will discuss the role of the thyroid gland in relationship to total health and elaborate the methods and strategies in managing and curing thyroid illnesses such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Grave’s Disease with natural medicine. The talk will also focus on the exploration of the thyroid as a hidden factor in one’s overall health despite normal thyroid function tests. The presentation is equally suited for those with diagnosed thyroid illness as well as those exploring whether the thyroid may be related to health problems.
Seminar: Put an End to Chronic Fatigue Chronic Fatigue is one of the most common complaints in daily naturopathic practice. In this one hour-presentation, Dr. Gary Weiner will discuss the most common causes of chronic fatigue, as well as their remedies. The talk may be useful to those who suffer from chronic fatigue as well as individuals wishing to walk the path toward optimum energy. Topics will include:

In this one hour-presentation, Dr. Gary Weiner will discuss the most common causes of hypertension, a comprehensive naturopathic approach to resolution of the problem, and the strengths and weaknesses of common remedies. The talk may be useful to those who suffer from hypertension, those on standard medications seeking alternative resources, and those who are being treated (conventionally or unconventionally) without adequate results. Topics will include:
Seminar: Heavy Metal Toxicity in Chronic Health Problems With environmental exposure to heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium on the rise, we cannot overlook heavy metal toxicity as a hidden factor in many chronic health problems. Heavy metal toxicity is often a factor behind chronic fatigue and lethargy, chronic headaches, high blood pressure, impaired cognitive, motor, and language skills, learning difficulties in children, attention problems, nervousness, emotional instability, insomnia, nausea, digestive disturbance, and other symptoms.
Find out the answers to these questions and more in Dr. Weiner’s one-hour presentation on the role of heavy metal toxicity and chronic health problems. Topics will include:
