Mark,

Thank you for sharing the email from Dr. Hayden. He is such a nice person,

so friendly...and intelligent. I have spoken to him several times. He is very

interested in helping others and although he studies diabetes, he always keeps

pancreatitis in mind. He said he would be interested in speaking at the

symposium and would only require travel and lodging expenses covered. He lives

in St. Louise, Missouri and the Symposium is in Indianapolis, Indiana. One

reason I was interested in his attending the Symposium is that he has a lot of

information regarding alternative medicine. His research focuses a lot on the

lack of natural vitamin and mineral biochemical interactions, such as folic

acid deficiency and antioxidants.

Mark,

You wrote, " So is he going to attend the symposium? "

I am still uncertain as to the agenda / speakers. Due to financial

constraints, we try to use local speakers, with the exception of the 'keynote

speaker,' which generally is a Pancreatologist. I think since diabetes is

something

almost all of us will deal with, and if we do not have it, we all are dealing

with prevention of diabetes. So, this may be a good choice. The symposium

will be videotaped, as many are unable to come, therefore, persons who are

interested in viewing the tapes, also have valid input. The other option re: a

session focused on herbs, vitamins, etc. is an RN Holistic Healthcare

Practitioner in Private Practice (in Indy). Her lecture would most likely be

less

scientific and more easily understood by the lay person, but would also

probably

be more generic, Vs Hayden's who is focused on actual current research.

I'll keep you posted.
