Where Do You Go When No One Believes You Are Sick: Putting an End to Undiagnosed Chronic Illness
Presented by Rolf Habersang, MD There are millions living with unexplained symptoms of chronic illness. They are looking for answers that conventional medicine won’t or can’t address, which is why they seek out alternative methods. But even with a functional or integrative approach, many practitioner are still missing the mark and not asking the question WHY. Are we really looking for causes? Or simply trading one means for another by using supplements in place of medication which sometimes still only mask symptoms. In this presentation, keynote speaker Dr. Rolf Habersang will share what he has seen and learned in his decades of clinical practice that has allowed him to restore health in the most challenging patients. |

Pediatric Immune Resilience: Healthy Cell, Healthy Gut, Healthy Child (How to Put Theory into Practice - A Universal Approach)
Presented by Sheila Kilbane, MD with Deborah Allen, RPh This presentation will address common immune-related problems in children and the building of immune resilience in kids.

This topic is of critical importance during this time of immune stress and its impact on children’s health. All members of the health care community are connected either directly or indirectly to the health of children, and therefore this topic should be of value to both those who are directly treating children and those who are involved in delivery of care in the primary care setting. |

The most common denominator seen with many clients is poor assimilation of nutrients. In this presentation Dr. Polly Heil-Mealey will be discussing how she uses EAV technology and PS3 scanning to identify gut dysfunction and her approaches to eradicate it with the proper nutrition and supplemental support.
