On Sunday March 8th 2015, the Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM) held a ground-breaking conference led by top specialists from around the world, all of them renowned for their expertise on infectious pathogens and chronic disease.
The specialists’ combined approaches are revolutionary, and raised many important points and serious questions about how and why it is that treatments that are insisted upon by mainstream medicine do not effectively deal with the root causes of certain conditions.
The subject matter discussed covered an eye-opening approach to the state of these conditions and covered:
- Human retroviruses and ME, fibromyalgia, autism, Lyme Disease and more
- The complex symptomatology and diagnosis of diseases caused by vector-borne pathogens
- Therapeutic interventions for these conditions.
The keynote speaker was Professor Malcolm Hooper along with Dr Judy Mikovits MD, Dr Armin Schwarzbach, Professor B. Puri and Dr Philip Kielman. Brief outlines of each of the speakers are included at the end.
Presentations accompanying the talks from several of the speakers are being made available by AONM on our site below with free access and can be found after the speakers short biography below.
