Dr. Dee Grace, PhD, of Bedside Manners  is a cancer patient advocate who teaches that we can “conquer and prevent cancer holistically”  She spoke about the importance of eating healthy eating as well as provided tips on how to purchase and prepare various fruits and vegetables.  She prepared a delicious green smoothie for us to sample using fresh ingredients. 

You may recall that Dr. Dee was a guest on my Podcast recently and you can listen to the entire broadcast interview here.

Holistic Dentists

 

Dr. Grace Liu, and Dr. Lewis Yu, owners of All About Smiles; spoke about holistic dentistry and “preparing your mouth for the fight of your life: what you should know to optimize your oral health”.  This husband and wife duo told us about the danger of mercury fillings as well as the proper technique for removing mercury restorations.

 

Midday, we broke for lunch which also gave the attendees an opportunity to check out the vendors and exhibitors where they could receive a little pampering with a chair massage and/or hand massage as well as receive samples from Chanel and organic honey tasting from Queen Honey.
