M&B COVID-19 Series

A special series with the authors of your favourite herb books. Kerry and Simon share their insights into the latest information coming in from the clinical frontline and research efforts across the world concerning the long-term consequences of Covid-19 infection. This series includes both previous seminars, Mills and Bone Go Viral and Mills and Bone Go Post Viral.

The Gut and Immunity (and Autoimmunity)

In this webinar Kerry and Simon bring a herbal perspective to an updated review of the central role of the gut in immune health and disease. The experience of Covid and its after-effects remind us that autoimmunity can be a major cause of ill-health. We will look at ways in which improving gut functions could also reduce immunological complications.

The Gut and the Brain

‘Gut feelings’ are now a mainstream interest, and new terms such as nutritional psychiatry, ‘moody gut’ and psychobiotics pervade the medical journals! In this webinar Simon and Kerry will update these insights from a herbal perspective. After this webinar practitioners will learn new ways to help patients with chronic fatigue and long-term difficult mental health problems.

Bitters Renewed

Bitters have been both the most valued class of remedies in traditional medicine around the world, and largely ignored in modern research. There is now an explosion of discoveries about bitter receptors and their functions throughout the body. It is clear that they have important defence and mobilising roles. These bring new insights into the reputation and application of some or most important remedies. In this webinar Simon and Kerry will refresh our understanding of the bitters and suggest exciting new approaches to their use in clinical practice.

Everyday Gut Disorders Revisited

With this increased integrated insight into gut functions, and especially the role of the microbiome, it is now timely to look again at our management of the most common and frustrating functional problems, IBS and GORD/GERD. Irritable bowel syndrome and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease account for disproportionate consumption of prescription and over-the-counter medicines. These at best relieve symptoms, and underlying causes are barely addressed. Herbal remedies have obvious prospects to do better.

Mills and Bone Do Autoimmunity

In this webinar, Kerry and Simon will address some of the most complex and challenging conditions we see in practice. As well as classic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, Sjogren’s and inflammatory bowel diseases, there are a growing number that we now know have autoimmunity at their core: Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, thyroid diseases, coeliac disease and pernicious anaemia. We are now learning too that autoimmunity may also be central to ‘Long Covid’ and other chronic fatigue conditions. What features do these conditions share? What generates and perpetuates them? Are there any new herbal and dietary prospects emerging to help with their management? We will look at latest insights into both autoimmune processes and specific diseases to bring us all up to date.   

Mills and Bone Ponder Men, Women and Hormones Part 1

This webinar will include 'Functional Herbal Therapy (FHT) and the Ageing Man' with Kerry Bone, 'Endometriosis- An exploration into the microbiome, inflammation and immune dysfunction' with Angela Hywood ND and a Q&A with Angela, Kerry and Simon.

Mills and Bone are on the Case!

In this session, Kerry and Simon will reflect on the many recent theoretical insights they have shared, and will bring over 80 years of combined clinical experience to apply them to practice. Each will work through an assessment and treatment plan of cases from their own practice that involves autoimmune and hypersensitivity components. They will then together discuss cases pre-submitted by audience members.
