Prominent Speakers on Holistic Cancer Treatment

WISE TRADITIONS 2009
FEATURES PROMINENT SPEAKERS ON HOLISTIC CANCER TREATMENT

Looking for alternatives to conventional cancer treatments? The Weston A. Price Foundation is proud to present two of the most prominent alternative cancer physicians in the U.S. at Wise Traditions 2009, its 10th annual conference.

NICHOLAS GONZALEZ, MD, received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered the father of modern immunology, he completed a research study evaluating nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Since 1987, Dr. Gonzalez has been in private practice in New York. His nutritional research has received substantial financial support from the National Cancer Institute. Results from a pilot study published in 1999 described the most positive data in the medical literature for pancreatic cancer. Gonzalez treats a wide range of cancer conditions with a combination of traditional whole foods, supplements and detoxification protocols.

THOMAS S. COWAN, MD, is a physician in private medical practice in San Francisco, California. He is the author of The Fourfold Path to Healing, which describes the use of Iscador (mistletoe extract) for patients suffering from cancer, especially breast cancer. Iscador has shown positive results in numerous European clinical trials and is widely used in Germany. Cowan combines Iscador with traditional whole foods and nutritional supplements.

Both physicians will lecture on Sunday, November 15. For details, visit www.westonaprice.org.

The Wise Traditions Conference is pleased to provide a children’s program for this year’s meeting. $100 per child, includes lunch. Children 3 – 12 who are potty trained are welcome to Wise Traditions 2009 as long as they are enrolled in our children’s program. For the sake of other conference attendees, we ask that parents refrain from bringing children to the conference sessions.
Please note: We will serve nourishing traditional food (including fruit and natural sweeteners) but we cannot cater to special diets in the children’s program. There may be casein and gluten in the children’s lunches and snacks. Parents will need to supply their own food if their children are on special diets.

New this year: A special room has been set aside for mothers of infants who want to attend the conference. There will be a live audio feed from one of the sessions to that room throughout the day’s events. There will be no child care provided for infants and children under age 3.
