I would totally go to this if I was closer. Bringing all of the highly respected leaders in various fields of medicine together, where they can all contribute and offer ideas sounds powerful. Hopefully through discussion, these medical professionals will implement something that will be effective for reducing/or reversing chronic illnesses. We need something!!!
