We are a seven weeks away from the finish line, so the course price is DROPPED!!
End-of-term price drop!!! Only $90 if you sign up by October 7! (See Syllabus, below)
Autoimmunity and Human Health (ipak-edu.org)
We just finished Dementia and Autoimmunity. If you sign up now, you’ll be granted access to 14 FULL LECTURES going into the deepest details of autoimmunity from an expert in the pathophysiology of disease … with more to come!
Best of all - Dr. Kory has confirmed his lecture on PANDAS/PANS!

SYLLABUS (subject to change)
Instructor: James Lyons-Weiler, PhD
In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of autoimmunity and acquire a working knowledge of the systems biology, cellular and molecular biology and of disease pathophysiologies involved in autoimmunity.
This is equivalent to a 300-400 level college course. We'll have live Zoom class meetings w/Q&A and students can access the video lectures if they miss a class.
Prerequisite (Recommended): IPAK-EDU Biology of Immunology (Offered again in January 2024)

So a lecture series about nothing. Will he be discussing the nothing or what caused the nothing, what continues to push the nothing and why the nothing is so important to the nothings?
I would love to do this course but can't this semester. Sounds awesome. Have you checked out the Coimbra protocol for autoimmune diseases? It is very well known in the rest of the world, but only five doctors are trained to administer it in America. It's very popular in Latin America and mostly Germany.
