Advanced Study
Weekend September 7 to 9, 2007
The Advanced Study
Weekend held September 7 to 9, 2007 was an
outstanding success with more than 160 people
enjoying each other’s company, fabulous food,
and the nation’s top speakers on nutrition,
health and medicine. Dr. T. Colin Campbell,
PhD, appeared as a national hero to his
captivated audience. The presentations of
Michael Greger, MD’s were a work of art. Brenda
Davis, RD provided the audience with basic
lessons on nutrition and the story behind her
personal campaign to save the people of the
Marshall Islands from the ravages caused by the
rich Western diet. Jason Wyrick, Master Chef,
cooked soups
of the world for an excited crowd. Most people
considered it the best health dollar they had
ever spent and planned to return to the February
22 to 24, 2008 weekend. You had to have been
there to fully appreciate the experience.

A Few
Representative Comments from Attendees
of the September 2007 Weekend |
|
|
I just
wanted to thank you and tell you what a
great time I had at your advanced study
weekend. My sister and I attended last
year and decided then to make it our
annual girls’ weekend. We enjoyed it
thoroughly. I was a little concerned
that this year wouldn't be as good as
last but the caliber of speakers you
have each time is amazing. We were both
educated and inspired. The speakers were
so clear about what foods we should be
eating for optimal health that I've
recommitted and am feeling the benefits
already. Even my three children ages 7
to 16 are excited about eating this way
and looking forward to seeing the
benefits in their school and sports
performance. Lynette Mendoza
Thank you,
your lovely wife Mary, Heather, and your
growing staff for putting on another
fantastic weekend of information and
great food. All the speakers were
great. René and I never get tired of
attending as often as possible. Don
Carrier
First, let
me say once again how much Joyce and I
enjoyed the advanced seminar weekend
last week. We are always amazed at the
quality of speakers you continue to find
and the wealth of information imparted.
Al & Joyce Viviani PS The food was
really wonderful as usual!
First off
let me affirm that what you are doing in
the field of health is nothing short of
fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the
weekend seminar. Allen Appell, PhD
My husband
and I just returned from a trip that
included your Advanced Studies Weekend.
It was great! We were inspired by all
of the speakers and enjoyed meeting
other people who are also on this
journey. The food was wonderful and it
is so helpful to have some simple, but
delicious, recipes that I have tasted to
help me stay on the diet. Please thank
Mrs. McDougall for her work in this
area. Peggy Henry
Thanks so
much for an absolutely wonderful
weekend. The speakers were wonderful
(especially you as always) and Chef
Jason was great. I just wanted to let
you know that I made two of the dishes
that he showed us yesterday for dinner
tonight, the 20-minute chili and the
blue corn chip salad. They both turned
out great and my husband, Jeff, and my
daughter really liked them. If I can
continue to cook like that every night I
can definitely get Jeff on the right
track. Shirley Semel
I was just
at your health weekend and had a great
time and all your speakers were
excellent - a better group one could not
find. Ron Scheinberg
The
speakers you had at your program this
weekend were brilliant, humorous,
compassionate and motivational. The
food was outstanding as usual and my
room was fabulous! I will certainly be
at the next one. I can't stop talking
about everything I have learned! Leslie
Altier
I just
wanted to say it was a fabulous
weekend! Sincere thanks to you and your
staff for putting together such a
stellar program! Somehow, I always walk
away with highly relevant, important
knowledge. Sandy Ballinghoff
I just
wanted to say thanks for another
wonderful weekend! They just keep
getting better. I don’t know how you’re
going to top this one. Bill Lawton

FABULOUS WEEKEND that was! Thank you
