Suzanne Rosenberg, Rph
Pharmacist and founder of Community Compounding Pharmacy
Suzanne Rosenberg, RPh brings a very experienced, pharmacy-based perspective to supporting patients with mast cell activation and histamine-related conditions. This session focuses on how individualized compounded medications can expand clinical options when standard therapies fall short, are poorly tolerated, or require dose/formulation customization.
Drawing from real-world case experience, Suzanne will review commonly used mast cell–stabilizing agents, antihistamines, and adjunctive therapies, with an emphasis on how compounding can tailor dosing, delivery forms (capsules, liquids, topical, sublingual), and excipient profiles for sensitive patients. Special attention will be given to patients with chemical sensitivities, filler intolerances, and complex, multi-system presentations.
Chip Halverson, ND
In the Waters: Restoring the Art of Vitalist Naturopathic Care
Join MANP's member physician, Dr. Chip Halverson, for a clinically grounded return to one of naturopathic medicine’s most enduring foundations: hydrotherapy. This ce program will revisit water as a therapeutic medium not simply in technique, but in principle—engaging the vis medicatrix naturae through strategic stimulation, restoration, and regulation.
Rather than reintroducing fundamentals, this gathering is designed as a collaborative re-engagement with the art and nuance of hydrotherapy in modern practice. Together, we will explore how constitutional hydrotherapy, Kneipp applications, and other water-based interventions can be thoughtfully adapted to individual patients—supporting nervous system tone, endocrine balance, immune resilience, and overall vitality.
Through shared clinical insight and hands-on application (arm and foot baths, wraps, and select balneotherapy techniques), participants will exchange practical approaches, refine dosing strategies, and revisit where these modalities fit within today’s clinical landscape.
The session will also include discussion of adjunctive therapies such as nebulized glutathione—framed within a broader conversation about terrain, delivery methods, and clinical rationale.
We’ll close in good company with thoughtfully crafted mocktails—an informal extension of the hydrotherapy theme—and a facilitated exchange on sustaining a vital, effective, and aligned clinical practice.
