An Integrative Approach to COVID-19
9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. April 7, 2020
Hear from experts from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (AWCIM), including world-renowned advocate for alternative medicine, Dr. Andrew Weil.

Unfortunately, no integrative measures have been validated in human trials as effective specifically for COVID-19. Notwithstanding, this is an opportune time to be proactive. Using available in-vitro evidence, an understanding of the virulence of COVID-19, as well as data from similar, but different, viruses, we offer the following strategies to consider.
