The Next Revolution in GI Health Restoration

Discover Novel Nutritional Tools for a Systematic GI Program

Presenter: Michael B. Wald, MD, DC

Secrets to Success Unleashed…

Over 10 years ago, Dr. Jeffrey S. Bland introduced the revolutionary, systematic 4R^® GI Restoration Program, which has been successfully implemented by healthcare providers around the world ever since. Based on years of experience and high patient compliance, Dr. Wald will reveal his supportive, innovative clinical pearls for implementing this effective program. You will discover streamlined, easy-to-implement approaches to address complaints associated with the GI tract (where 70% of the immune system is located), which may be pre-clinical manifestations of numerous other chronic health conditions.

Dr. Wald will discuss disorders such as:

• Hypochlorhydria, hyperchlorhydria & achlorhydria
• Pancreatic fatigue syndrome
• Bacterial overgrowth syndrome
• Ulcerative colitis & Crohn's disease
• Helicobacter pylori and other GI infections
• Gluten sensitivity
• Malabsorption
• Candida
• Dyspepsia & GERD
• Peptic ulcer
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• And more

By attending this seminar, you will gain the fundamental knowledge to expand your GI healing therapy options and take your clinical practice to the next level!

Key Clinical Takeaways:

• Discover how low digestive capacity impacts inflammation and autoimmune dysfunction
• Learn when stomach acid impacts the absorption of medications, foods, and supplements, as well as how to modify stomach acidity to improve digestion and GI health
• Understand when to use specific enzyme supplements, as well as when probiotics should be used in conjunction with, or separately from, enzyme and stomach acid-supporting supplements
• Understand the clinical uses and dosing of melatonin, vitamins A, B₁₂, C, and D, folic acid, essential fatty acids, Lactobacillus plantarum, zinc, proteins, glutathione, and other antioxidants

Attendees will receive:

• A special summary of the proper use of all supplements reviewed during the seminar—plus a 295 slide review manual
