Parasites: A root-cause approach to diagnosis and management

​Parasites are organisms that live on or inside another organism (the host) and benefit at the host's expense. Many individuals believe that parasitic infections are a rare occurrence in the United States. However, the CDC estimates that millions of Americans are currently affected by parasites.  In fact, one-fourth of all infectious diseases are caused by parasitic infections. Lack of clinician awareness and inaccurate testing contribute to the underdiagnosis of parasitic infections. 

​It is important to understand how parasites are contracted, common signs and symptoms, and how to properly test for these infections.  Once diagnosed, management including support during detoxification is crucial.

​Join us on April 25th as Julie Ann Davey, ANP-C, ACNP-C, CFMP teaches us about the implications of parasitic infections and a root-cause approach to diagnosing and treating parasites.
