Gain a detailed medical understanding of why chronic Bartonella infection drives many autoimmune diseases. Come away from this educational event with a clear path on how to identify and treat patients suffering from Bartonella.

Topics covered include:

  • General medical overview of Bartonellosis–Dr. Alexander Shikhman
  • Rheumatological manifestations of Bartonellosis–Dr. Alexander Shikhman
  • Diverse manifestations and persistence of Bartonellosis–Dr. Monica Embers
  • Comparative medical observations relative to Bartonellosis in dogs and humans–Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt
  •  Principles of Bartonellosis therapy–Dr. Alexander Shikhman
  • Laboratory diagnosis: current practices, challenges and recent developments–Dr. Jennifer Miller
  • Bartonella in Pediatrics–Neenah Grade, PA-C
Feedback on 2021 Virtual Bartonella Conference 

“This seminar has BLOWN MY MIND….incredible. I am in awe that you can treat these difficult patients without the massive dosing I have been trained to do.”

“His whole approach to these infections….and his ability to help some of these autoimmune diseases with his approach is unique and new to me and his results are far superior to mine.”

“The conference was so helpful and so well done.  I learned more about Bartonella from this conference than I have learned in the previous ten years.  Bravo.”
