Zone researchers and medical professionals from Italy, Iceland, Germany, the United States, Canada, Japan and Mexico will join Dr. Sears at the second International Zone Conference of Anti-Inflammatory Medicine Nov. 12-15 in Cancun, Mexico, at the Cancun Palace.
“This conference promises to be one the most exciting ones that I have ever attended because of the great number of international experts in various disciplines discussing their work in the field of anti-inflammatory medicine. If you want to see the future of medicine, this is an international conference that should not be missed,” Dr. Sears said.
The emphasis will be on treatments that modify the genetic expression of chronic disease rather than treatments that just go after the symptoms.
There will be a pre-conference for the general public Nov. 12 and 13 and a conference Nov. 13-15 directed to medical specialists and professional health doctors.
The pre-conference will consist of practical workshops on diet, exercise, handling stress, and taking essential anti-inflammation nutrients.
On Nov. 12 there is registration and a pre-conference cocktail hour.
On Nov. 13, speakers are:
Dr. Sears, Overview of Anti-Inflammatory Medicine
