She also addresses the connection between Eczema, Allergies, Asthma, Autoimmune Diseases, the Immune System, and the Gut.

Coming in November
Wise Traditions 2008 Conference
The Wise Traditions 2008 Conference is only two months away.
One of the Eugene Chapter goals for this year has been to facilitate several people going down to San Francisco for this conference.
I found train tickets for myself and my 3 yr old son, Casey, but the Eugene Chapter has also discussed the possiblity of renting a van. I’ve heard from one person that has expressed interest. If there are a couple more people who would like to drive by van it may be worth doing. If there is not enough interest, then Casey & I will take the train. Right now my plans are to leave Eugene on Thursday night, arriving Friday morning, and leave SF on Monday night, returning to Eugene on Tuesday. I would also be willing to stay another night if other people would like to have a short visit in San Francisco.
I have also reserved a hotel (next to the conference site) for $89/per night. There are two queen beds, so there is space for one or two more people.
If you are interested in attending the conference, carpooling, or sharing a room please let us know.
Dates:
Friday, November 7 to Sunday, November 9, 2008
(with additional special events on Monday, November 10th)
Location:
Hyatt San Francisco Airport,
1333 Bayshore Highway
