Treating the Impossible
September 23-25, 2011—Dearborn, Michigan
Many of us who do integrative medicine got in to it in order to treat things that conventional medicine gave less than satisfying results. For this conference, we’ve found treatments for a host of conditions for which there is no satisfying conventional treatment. Note that these may not all be cures, but at least are more beneficial than the conventional treatments.
