Los Angeles: AIDS/Natural Therapies Symposium, Feb. 4-5

Over 60 speakers, including 40 M.D.s or Ph.D.s, are scheduled to speak at the "Advanced Immune Discoveries Symposium 1989" at the Regency Hotel, Universal City Los Angeles, February 4 and 5.
The conference is organized by by Laurence Badgley, M.D., author of Healing AIDS Naturally. Dr. Badgley organized a similar but smaller conference, in August 1986; it was reported in AIDS TREATMENT NEWS issue #12.
The speakers list for the February conference includes top experts, but also persons regarded as far outside the medical mainstream. A key paragraph in a press release announcing the conference gives the flavor:
"The speakers scheduled for the conference read like a who's who of immune system research, including Candace Pert, Ph.D., 'Neuropeptides', George Solomon, M.D., 'Psychoneuroimmunology', Emanuel Revici, M.D., Russell Jaffee, M.D., Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D., from Israel, Laurence Badgley, M.D., author of Healing AIDS Naturally, Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., a pioneer in herbal research of the immune system, David Steenblock, M.D., Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., a well-known nutrition expert, Ann Wigmore, N.D., who will speak on 'Living Foods', Dana Ullman, M.P.H.,
'Homeopathic Research", Jin Lin Wang, C.A., M.D., an expert on acupuncture, chinese herbs, and AIDS, and many more authorities on the immune system and natural therapies."
Another flyer lists topics beginning with "The role of vitamins in metabolic imbalances. The impact of syphilis in AIDS. The cancer microbe and the origin of AIDS. The use of ascorbate in infectious diseases and allergies. HIV and AIDS: correlation not causation..." We expect that attendees may find important information at this conference, but that
they should be selective.
The cost for the two days is $155. regular, $120. student/senior citizen, or $275. with continuing-education credit.

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS Computer Access: New Phone Number

The computer system we previously used to make AIDS TREATMENT NEWS available in computer-readable form is no longer running. The newsletter is available on another computer at 415/626-1246. This system, the AIDS Info
BBS, is run by Ben Gardiner in San Francisco. It does not have downloading software, so it will be necessary to save the terminal session and edit out any extraneous lines in order to obtain a good copy to make available online
through other computer systems.
Note: While AIDS TREATMENT NEWS is copyright, we give permission to make online copies available without
payment or other arrangements with us, providing the material is not cut or editorially altered.
