SUMMARY:Oriental Diagnostic Systems by Dr Stefan Stangaceau
DESCRIPTION:INTEGRATION OF ORIENTAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS (TCM AND AYURVEDA) WITH DERMATOGLYPHICS\, AURICULO DIAGNOSIS AND IRIDOLOGY FOR ENHANCED CLINICAL ASSESSMENT IN DAILY PRACTICE\nby Dr Stefan Stangaceau\, Family Medicine Specialist\, licensed in Apitherapy\, Phytotherapy\, Aromatherapy\, and Acupuncture. \nSummary:\nThis presentation explores how integrating traditional Oriental diagnostic systems—primarily Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda—with modern complementary assessment tools such as dermatoglyphics\, auriculodiagnosis\, and iridology can significantly enhance clinical practice. TCM and Ayurveda both rely on centuries-old observational diagnostics rooted in the analysis of patterns: the balance of organ systems\, constitutional types\, pulse characteristics\, tongue features\, and energy flow. \nWhen these are combined with structural markers such as dermatoglyphic patterns (genetically influenced ridge formations on fingers and palms)\, auricular reflex points (mapping organ systems to the external ear)\, and iridological signs (variations in structure\, color\, and fiber distribution in the iris)\, the clinician gains a more multidimensional understanding of the patient. \nBiography:\nDr. Stefan Stangaciu is a world-renowned expert in Evidence-Informed Medicinal Apitherapy\, with decades of leadership and innovation in the field. As a Family Medicine Specialist and licensed practitioner in Apitherapy\, Phytotherapy\, Aromatherapy\, and Acupuncture\, he bridges traditional bee-derived medicines with modern scientific methodologies. \nHe currently serves as the President of the Romanian Apitherapy\, Phytotherapy and Aromatherapy Society and the President of the International Federation of Apitherapy\, and is also the founder of Apitherapy.com. His commitment lies in advancing apitherapy through evidence-informed practices and fostering international collaboration. \nBookings:\nFee: R200 \nDeposit to SASIM Account number: 1357003986\, Nedbank. \nPlease reference your name and the talk. \nSend proof of payment to elma@integrativemedicine.co.za

SUMMARY:Enhancing Patient Management Strategies by Dr Danny Meyersfeld
DESCRIPTION:ENHANCING PATIENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES BY INCORPORATING\nPHARMACOGENETICS FOR PRECISION PRESCRIBING \nBy Dr. Danny Meyersfeld \nThe talk will describe how a Pharmacogenetics test can be used to tailor medication to the individual patient; ensuring an optimal response and reducing risk for side effects. The medical community has become polarised in the use of pharmaceuticals; with some using them excessively\, whilst others rule out their use completely. This talk proposes a balanced; where pharmaceuticals can be used for the right patient\, at the right dosage. \nBiography: \nDr. Danny Meyersfeld completed his PhD in Molecular Biology in 2005 at University of Witwatersrand\, South Africa. Following two years of post-doctoral research\, and passionate about the concept of personalised medicine\, Danny set up DNAlysis Biotechnology\, a company dedicated to the widespread adoption of genomic insights into clinical practice. \nDanny is passionate about availing doctors in sub-Saharan Africa of the same tools that are available elsewhere in the world and is determined to ensure the appropriate and responsible integration of genetic tests into clinical practice. To this end\, the DNAlysis portfolio of genetic tests has been developed with a focus on scientific integrity and accuracy\, and a significant portion of time is spent on the upskilling of medical practitioners to try and ease the transition of complex genetics into medical practices. \nNO NEED TO BOOK FOR THIS ONE – WE WILL SHARE THE ZOOM INVITE ON THE DAY.

SUMMARY:Histamine Intolerance by Marenel Pansegrouw
DESCRIPTION:HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE AND DIETARY/TREATMENT PROTOCOLS\nby Marenel Pansegrouw RD(SA)\, Bdietetics 09 UP\, Bdip Hospitality 05 TUT \nSummary:\nOften dismissed or misunderstood\, histamine intolerance can be more complex than it appears. Rather than being a standalone issue\, it may point to deeper underlying imbalances – such as an overwhelmed central nervous system\, a distressed or dysregulated gut\, or methylation pathways that aren’t adequately supported. \nThese factors can reduce the body’s ability to break down histamine efficiently\, leading to a wide range of confusing symptoms that vary from person to person. Understanding these interconnected systems offers useful insight into why histamine reactions occur and helps guide more targeted\, sustainable dietary and lifestyle approaches. \nBiography:\nMarenel studied at UP\, Bdietetics. Started her career in the military and then found herself in private practice since 2014. Her practice is located in Midstream. \nMarenel is a curious mind and completed many practical courses like SOS approach to feeding for problem feeders (2018)\, various diabetes\, renal and gut nutrition courses and in 2020 completed her integrative functional nutrition academy(IFNA) course under the guidance of Kathie Swift. Marenel became interested with histamine intolerance and MCAS after seeing a surge in her case load with patients. \nBookings:\nFee: R200 \nDeposit to SASIM Account number: 1357003986\, Nedbank. \nPlease reference your name and the talk. \nSend proof of payment to elma@integrativemedicine.co.za

Adele Pelteret\, BSc Comp Health Sciences\, BSc Naturopathy\, Erika Drewes\, Specialist Family Physician\, Marna Turner\, MBChB\, DipPEC(SA)\, Nicola Buchan\, MBChB. \nSummary:\nHistamine sensitivity is a key feature of MCAS\, a condition where mast cells release too many chemical mediators\, including histamine\, in response to triggers. Unlike histamine intolerance\, which is a reduced ability to break down dietary histamine\, MCAS involves the overactivation of mast cells themselves\, leading to a broader range of symptoms caused by the release of histamine and other substances like leukotrienes and prostaglandins. \nPeople with MCAS can experience a wide variety of symptoms affecting multiple body systems\, which may be worsened by histamine-rich foods\, but also by stress\, temperature changes\, and certain medications. \nBiographies:\nDr. Marna Turner \nDr. Marna Turner brings a wealth of experience to the table as a seasoned medical professional with extensive expertise in treating vector-borne infections.
