Interesting. Has Dr Fine written anything or done any new research lately? All his websites have stuff that's pretty old now. I'd like to hear his thoughts on current findings/research, but I don't have the time and money to go see him.

If you go please let us know what he has to say. And tell him to publish the current paper he's working on. :)

Thanks,
Mike

Hmmmm. I like the looks of most of those topics. I may have to try to make that one. I passed on the last one in Dallas, but Taos is a much more interesting location. New Mexico is probably my favorite state to visit. They don't call it "The Land of Enchantment" for nothing.

Thanks for the heads up.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I hope you both can go. I'd like to hear all about it when you return.

Mental mindset, spirtual healing in dealing with our bodies problems is a very good thing to learn about. It may be an enchanting conference and I also hope you can go. Might meet you there.

This one concerns me with children.

Hi all,

I attended the last conference, and it was lots of fun, and I absolutely love Taos and several areas around there that I will keep secret! Ha!

I'm not so sure I like some of the non-scientific topics this time around, ,, however, so kind of don't want to spend THAT much money when lots is pretty ""pseudo" in my opinion.

I'm also a bit disappointed not to have seen any new research, particularly since I've been such a devoted patient for a few years now.
Has anyone heard anything? Also, does anyone have any idea when the other stool tests for food sensitivies are expected to be available? I thought that there would be more after the soy test came out.

I fear that combining aspects and practices of the philosophical religions (a rose by any other name) into his conferences will cause THE CAUSE to loose credibility, and thus, many people won't experience the benefits of the dietary remedy that they might have, were his materials and conferences sticking to the subject.

Anyway, I'm with you, Tex, about NM. I've been thinking lately, that I'd like to be able to actually live out in that area for a bit after my caregiving days are over up until I'm too old to be on my own, at least. Was just telling my sister about that the other day.

Yours, Luce

Hi Luce,

It's good to see you posting again. I have to agree with you on the "melding of methods" that this conference proposes. If I attend, I'm pretty sure that I'll be somewhere else in NM after the first full day's session, (Friday), since most of Saturday's and Sunday's topics would probably put me to sleep.

I too have wondered why the "wheels of progress" have stopped turning at Enterolab. Do you suppose Dr. Fine is "burned out" on researching gluten sensitive enteropathy? Or maybe he's devoting most of his time to his musical interests, these days.

Maybe it's the financial aspect of conferences of that type that prompted the shift. If I remember correctly, the conference in Dallas restricted the "pseudo-science" topics to the last day of the conference, whereas in Taos it will be two out of three. I'm guessing that people who find those topics appealing, are freer with their money, than those who prefer strictly "hard" science. IOW, it's a way to kick the attendance to a much higher level, and thereby keep the project from ending up in the "red".

Attendance-wise, it's a "Catch-22" situation. Sick people aren't as likely to attend a conference, (because of the hardship and inconvenience involved), and people in remission don't see the need to attend, (since they have found a solution).

P S My above comments in this post may be misleading. Please don't misunderstand me - I am not opposed to learning how to influence health by using the principle of "mind over matter". I have absolutely no doubt that there is a very strong connection between attitude, state of mind, (or whatever you want to call it), and general health and well being. It has been adequately demonstrated that a positive attitude speeds healing, general health, and can even save lives. I just don't care to spend time and money at a seminar that features topics along those lines, because it's not cutting edge information. All that information has been available virtually since the beginning of recorded history. There are zillions of good books available on the subject, and it's probably a "mature" concept, until someone figures out how to "enable" mental telepathy for the masses.
