Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I just got home to central NYS after attending the Conference yesterday, combining it with a visit to my cousin who lives and works in the NYC area (big savings for my Mastercard ). She came to the conference with me knowing virtually nothing about LDN and went home with the promise to that she would see if her company (who has in-house printing) could print the 5000 copies of the LDN book. She also had the serendipity to have been assigned to the international discussion group in the afternoon--a terrific fit as one of her causes is working to eliminate AIDS in Africa. I second all I've read from the other post conference posters. It was an inspiring and informative conference--so much packed into one conference--so many came to present and from such distances for many. It's a sign of the dedication and belief in LDN. As was mentioned at the Conference, LDN is a whole different animal than most pharmaceuticals--it is a grassroots up movement instead of from the top down. I too want to thank Dr. Gluck and and the whole Gluck family for both the hard work of organizing and putting on this conference (I've organized conferences before and know how extremely time consuming they are) and for setting up the LDN website. As someone else mentioned, the website and this related email list is what has led to so many of us learning about LDN and Dr. Bihari's work. Although it is too late for my son to realize Dr. Gluck's stated vision--that children in the future will be able to be screened for Type 1 diabetes antibodies and then those positive for it can be put on LDN and saved from a lifetime of needle sticks--I do believe that my son will be able, now that he is on LDN, to stay in the honeymoon period he currently is still in and never get to the point of high insulin doses, difficulty controlling blood sugar, and the related bodily deterioration. And my husband is in what is considered Parkinson's honeymoon period--early in the progression when PD symptomatic medications work effectively. So my family now has the wonderfully positive outlook of two continuing honeymoons instead of downward progression. I thank all who have so generously shared their time and efforts on spreading the word about LDN and thank Dr. Bihari, and his ever supportive wife Jackie, for the discovery of LDN. It is and will be life changing in such positive ways for so many of us. Kathie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 , Please clue us in on the conference you are speaking of. I have never heard of either Dr. Temple Grandin or Dr. Jeanette McAfee of Eustacia, Cutler. Is this taking place in the USA?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hi Michele...the Autism/Asperger's Syndrome Conference was held yesterday, August 12th in Dixon, Illinois. There were approx 800 people that attended...it was awesome! Temple Grandin is the most famous person with autism in the WORLD. She is in her late 50's and earned her PhD in Animal Science from the University of Illinois. She then went on to become an associate professor at Colorado State University, and has written several books on autism. I would recommend that you start with 'Thinking In Pictures' because it gives you a wonderful perspective on how people with autism think and perceive OUR world. The second book you should read is Emergence: Labeled Autistic by Temple. Temple is one of the most celebrated, and effective, animal advocates on the planet. She revolutionized animal movement systems and spearheaded reform of the quality of life for the world's agricultural animals. Jeanette McAffee is a doctor who specializes in helping children with autism acquire social skills. The entire afternoon was devoted to this subject alone! Eustacia Purvis Cutler is Temple Grandin's mother. She was a wonderful speaker and truly had a gift with words. She has also written a book entitled 'A Thorn in My Pocket'. She talks about how she dealt with all the doctors, Temple's behavioral issues and her husband's denial. Next summer Tony Attwood from Austrialia is coming to Dixon, Illinois for the conference!!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 , I had hoped to meet you in Atlanta, I hope your weren't feeling too lousy to attend. It was an excellent conference with so much info given that my head was spinning.Luckily almost all of the presenters had handouts so we could go over them at a later time One thing I found encouraging was how healthy and upbeat people seemed. The big message of the week was to join clinical trials because there are too few people and too many forms of CLL/SLL. I want to share that I went off my special diet- no sugar, dairy, nightshades, fried foods, fruit only 2X per week, andafter three days of eating all the wonderful food they had at the conference, my stomach felt bloated and my joints ached so I am thinking that my restrictive diet is really helping. If anyone wants more diet details let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 >> LA or Florida would be better locations. ************************************************ Not for alot of us that don't fly (especially now). This is not a conference that has an employer subsidizing the individual's costs. Many (most) of us are on a limited income because of MS. I think TN is a great location with the conference traveling every year to give as many people as possible a chance to attend. cindred@... EarthLink Revolves Around You.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Now the way it works with Cyn and I is that she tells me a couple of months ahead of time that I am going someplace and what I am going to be talking about. I start my lecture notes, slides etc and give them to Adam. He makes them pretty and explains to me how to use the computer thingie. I go, she puts me up front and turns me on. I do my thing. She comes and gets me and puts me in the car and takes me home. I am very portable. I will go to where ever, when ever. I always ask for a gazzlion dollars, but nobody has come up with it yet, so I will just keep trying. Seriously though. Putting together one of these things is an enormous undertaking. The strategic planning is something else. Some of the speakers will probably want an honorarium, as well as travel costs. Not an unheard of thing, but has to be planned for. Weather and travel costs for the folks comming also has to be taken into account. Usually these things are covered by a big drug company. Maybe we can get some compounders together to put up some buck, but I wouldn;t hold my breath. Anyway I am rambling, but maybe we should all think about giving some help to brenda and make this a real grass root effort. A song for Cyndi, How about A-1A.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Donna, I’m sorry to hear that you won’t make it to the conference. You’ll be missed by many. For anyone who wonders about the rooms~~ the conference is being held Sunday thru Wednesday rather than the usual Thursday thru Sunday because of room cost. The $149 is a HUGE discount and it took a lot of work to get the price down to that. Liz From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of ajaoky@...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Just a reminder to all~~ There are usually some scholarships available from your local chapter. If you cannot afford to go on your own, please contact your chapter office. This is especially important if you are a newly diagnosed family or have never been to a conference.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Don't feel bad Donna, we may not get to attend either. We have applied for a scholarship with our local AF, but if we don't get a full one, we won't be able to attend either. Just think positive though and maybe it will happen. Who knows!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have been checking on other motels close by too, just to compare. They aren't as nice, but there are some less expensive. The rooms are usually like $369 a nite so $149 is a great price.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Donna, I am with you on this. Plus many other's. If the AF here want's me to go and I will go but other wise I will wait for next year. I will fill out the Scholarship papers. But I feel since and I have been to one We know how important it is for every Newly Diagnosed needs to go to one. So I would step back and let someone who hasn't been go in my place. I ENCOURAGE Everyone to call their Local Arthritis Foundation and have them send you a Scholarship Paper. You will not come back as you went as it is a Most uplifting experience you will ever have. Since this Year's Date is not my cup of Tea to travel Plus I do family gatherings on July 4th as Tradition. It's not the best of time for Families. So I hope each does go for it as it doesn't hurt to fill out papers. If you can't attend this year There's next year. We all will know where that will be on the last day of the Conference. This way we can plan on taking this off through putting in for it at work. Some Jobs require you to tell which Vacation days you want on the first of the year. So I can't wait til July 4th to know where the next one will be. RobbinSee what's free at AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Each year I hope we will be able to go to a conference. This year it will not happen again. My daughter just found a summer job so she will not be able to take off a week for this. And her next Remicade is due on the 5th. $149 may be a bargain for the hotel but I have never paid $149 a night to stay anywhere. That is WAY out of my league. e, mom to "joe" 20 poly + lupusajaoky@... wrote: I received the 2007 Juvenile Arthritis Conference Brochure today and after looking it over I know I will most likely NOT be attending (sob,sob).

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thank you Kim! I am so happy you guys will be there and of course still sad that we won't. There is always next year. In KY only one scholarship is given and the process is it is first offered to families who have never attended. Beings I have been to a bunch this lessens my chances of getting the help need to make the trip. Tell Adrienne hello from Bran! DonnaSee what's free at AOL.com.
