Heck, I hope so, Rico. We will have adequate capability to do that ourselves, in any case.

The abstracts indicate that some very interesting discussion could arise in your session. I know that the MPers will do well - hope you have fun, too,
Ruth

I am so excited and blessed to be a part of this new and innovative treatment for TH1 illnesses. I imagine my full recovery each day and I cannot wait until the nay sayers confess their error!!!!
Can't wait to get the DVDs of the presentation.

Let's see what happens... Meg, Belinda and I all have laptops, if there is connectivity...

Dr. Marshall,
I have reviewed the abstracts of the upcoming conference, and want to confirm that all the speakers are "on our side". That is, supplementation of Vitamin D in the human diet is not beneficial; it is harmful to the human immune system. If so, this means the ARF is collaborating with individuals in Israel, Netherlands, Italy, and Iran?
And may I ask was "supported by an unrestricted educational grant" from ARF means?
With highest respect and good wishes,
Sherry

An unrestricted grant means that the sponsor has no control at all over the content of the session. The conference content has been selected by the conference's Scientific Committee.
Not all the presentations will be made from the background of what we have discovered, obviously the four we are presenting will do so Also it looks as though the Israeli group are pretty close to understanding our message
The aim of conference presentations is to let the others working in this field know what we have found, and expose our discoveries to peer-review by the delegates.

Hi there,
How can I access the abstracts of the other conference presenters? I have tried clicking around on the conference website but cannot find the link .
Also, specifically, does someone have a link to the Israelis' abstract Dr. Marshall mentions?
Thank you, Cocoa
