May Functional Forum Meetup

This presentation explores the utilization of Ultra Violet Blood Irradiation (UVBI) and Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) in medical practice, focusing on their history, cellular mechanisms, clinical applications, safety, and effectiveness. Starting with an overview of the historical development of these therapies, we will delve into how they function at a cellular level and their therapeutic implications in managing pain, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, and infectious diseases. We will discuss their clinical indications, supported by recent research and case studies, and critically assess their safety profiles. The session aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of UVBI and MAH, highlighting their integration into current medical protocols for treating complex health issues.

About The Functional Forum

The Functional Forum is the world’s largest integrative medicine conference. On the first Monday of every month, this new concept in practitioner education, “medutainment”, brings together the latest health news, functional medicine research, practice development and health technology in an upbeat, entertaining way.

We curate the industry’s leading innovators in a mixed-media format that combines interviews, TED-style talks, videos, audience interaction, and music. You can learn more about Functional Forum Meetup and its previous conferences here.

Each monthly episode will focus on a different medical specialty and connect the value of a functional medicine approach to its evolution. This comes at a time where use of specialists is becoming an ever more costly drag on medical systems worldwide.

Each Forum will provide practitioners from all walks of medicine, not only Primary Care and Family Medicine, but all the integrative professions, with the clinical keys and practical emerging models to deliver truly effective predictive, preventive, and participatory medicine.

With our unprecedented global Meetup infrastructure, we will also seek to create new relationships locally between current specialists and with integrative providers in order to stimulate the creation of the specialty centers of the future.

Our events create dialogue between practitioners that are sharing best practices, asking tough questions, and helping each other to create the greatest impact with their patients and communities. It gives you the opportunity to not only network but also, keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in your own healthcare community.

The purpose of our Functional Forum local meetup groups is to empower physicians and providers to deliver high value, community focused, root cause resolution medicine. Our mission is to help to develop a community of practitioners in our area who “get it”, to build your referral network, add value to your practice, our local community, and the movement at large.
