Just Back from the Spring ACAM Conference in Orlando, Florida

Monday, April 14

I just returned from a trip to Orlando Florida where I attended the Spring Conference of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM). There I joined hundreds of like-minded colleagues to learn of the latest advancements in nutrition and complementary medicine.

I chaired a workshop on Clinical Nutrition, and gave lectures on natural approaches to Gastrointestinal Disease and Intravenous Nutritional therapy. Among the many great speakers there were Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, Dr. Ken Bock, and Dr. Michael Schachter--all known to listeners of Health Talk.

Didn't get much time poolside, but I did manage a quick side trip to Sea World Orlando, where I arranged a "shark encounter" in which I was lowered in a special cage into the shark aquarium, where I got up close and personal with some toothy specimens ranging up to eight feet in length. I'll see if some of the pictures come out so we can post them on the website.

Also, I will provide exciting updates throughout the week on Health Talk on fresh new scientific breakthroughs that I gleaned from the many excellent lecturers at the ACAM meeting. Okay, excuse me now while I start unpacking and get ready for work . . .
