'Chinese Medicine for Treatment and Prevention of Cushing’s Disease' Webinar Presented by Dr Steve Marsden

About the Webinar

A common phenomenon in modern veterinary practice is the dog that has symptoms of Cushing’s disease, yet only tests positive for the condition years down the road. Prior to diagnosis, they are known as Atypical Cushing’s (AC) cases, and afterwards are often labeled as pituitary dependent (PDH). The reality, however, is that PDH and AC cases are likely not different at all and are, in fact, the same condition – a condition that is not originating from the pituitary gland.

This lecture will explore the research support for this claim, and explore the link of both AC and PDH to diet. Chinese herbal approaches that are commonly effective for the condition will be reviewed, along with tips for their integration with drug therapy.  Participants will no longer have to rely on drugs that impair adrenal gland function to address these patients, or wait until animals test positive to treat them, and will come to understand both PDH and AC as curable conditions.
