Topic: Oxidative Stress and Its Impact on our Health
Presenter: Dr. Joseph Holiday, MD

Don’t worry if you are not exactly sure what oxidative stress is. Dr. Holiday will teach us all about it. Oxidative stress has a major negative impact on our health. The cumulative effect of oxidative stress affects each person differently. Common ways that it can impact us include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Neuro-Degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer Disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), and Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Holiday will help us to understand oxidative stress and teach us what we can do to decrease its affect on our bodies. Dr. Holiday is a practicing physician in Athens, TN specializing in vascular, thoracic and general surgery. In addition to usual medical procedures, he also uses Chelation therapy and nutritional and vitamin therapies in his practice.

A drawing will be held for a $35 certificate for Sunrider herbal nutritional products donated

     "Mercury, Vaccines and Autism, Is There A Connection?"
  
The 2007-2008 President of CHEO, Tami Freedman is going to give you a quick glimpse into the side of vaccines you don't hear much about in today's media, speaking on "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Children's Vaccinations," and "Autism IS Treatable."   She’ll be addressing the questions: “Is there PROOF that vaccines and mercury have something to do with the epidemic rise in autism?” “What do the studies really say?” “Are there studies you don't hear about?” “And are there treatments during a "small" window of opportunity that your doctor and insurance company should be promoting?” 

Contact Tami at: TamiFreedman@aol.com, 706-866-1074. Tami has spent years in Autism and Vaccine Awareness, worked with the Tennessee State Legislation seeking a ban on mercury in infant and pregnant mom vaccines, and leads an online Vaccine Awareness group with 180 people, has given out over 4000 Autism Fliers and maintains websites with autism and vaccine information at: http://AutismFliers.tripod.com, http://TN4SaferVaccines.tripod.com, and http://TamiHealth.tripod.com

Topic: Personalized Medicine-Treating the Whole Person

Presenter: Dr. Diana Sarkar, MD

Dr. Sarkar feels that the medicine of the twenty-first century should be individual not disease diagnosis with a ”one size fits all” treatment protocol. Dr. Sarkar will share her ideas with us on how it is possible to have integrative medical consultation that will treat the whole person. This is a holistic approach that allows for a safe and supportive environment for the healing process, and guidance for self development and self healing. Some of the therapies and modalities that might be used to individualize treatments include but are not limited to medical acupuncture, herbal medicine as an adjunct to traditional medications, preventive medicine, lifestyle and stress management, counseling and biofeedback, manual therapies, nutritional and supplement counseling, mind-body techniques for wellness and guidance in learning to live effectively with chronic Illness. Dr. Sarkar will focus on how to partner with illness and injuries to facilitate healing. Dr. Sarkar has an active practice in Knoxville .She most commonly uses therapies that are an adjunct to a patient’s regular medical care from his/her primary care physician thereby being able to treat the whole person.

A drawing will be held for a free one hour in home massage donated by Jackie Culp, LMT.
