In 2024, the International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine (ISOM) held its annual conference in partnership with Advanced Applications in Medical Practice (AAMP). Under the leadership and vision of Dr. Paul Anderson, the spring and fall events took place in Scottsdale, Arizona (and online).

Each of the three-day conferences had over 300 participants from countries including the USA, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Slovenia, and Taiwan. The expert faculty of naturopathic doctors, medical doctors and nurse practitioners provided an advanced level of continuing education for health professionals, offering a combined total of 36.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for physicians and specialists.

For his exemplary leadership in naturopathic and integrative medical education, Paul S. Anderson was inducted into the the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame on May 18, 2024, during the spring conference.

The Sensitized and Reactive Patient

September 20–22, 2024

Mast Cell Disorders, Dysautonomia & POTS, Allergy & Sensitivity, Biotoxins & General Toxicity States

Why are so many more of our patients reactive and more difficult to treat? It seems that even though the integrative and naturopathic practitioner community is uniquely set up to help these patients we are inundated with more and more complex patients. Why are our “typical difficult” patients getting more so? In this conference we will delve into the most common triggers of patient sensitivity, why these triggers are worse now, and strategies for providing optimum patient care.
