I am honored to have a booth and to be a guest speaker at The 2008 Natural Living Expo in Sturbridge MA, www.spiritofchange.org/expo-2008 This is an annual event sponsored by Spirit of Change Magazine of New England, New England's alternative health resource since 1987!

My topic for the event will be, "The Power of Food and Healing". Learning from oriental medicine that used foods, herbs and plants to heal illness and disease, the lecture will offer insights into various nutritional approaches that can improve one's physical and mental state. An interactive post lecture period will involve all participants as they are guided on a "how to begin" phase: how to change their eating habits, how to convert their kitchen and how to help their family move in the same direction.

The keynote speaker will be Bernie Siegel, MD famous retired physician, author, guest lecturer who became internationally known through his work with patients on mind, body and spiritual healing (www.berniesiegelmd.com) I have great admiration for Dr Siegel because he left his medical practice to help many afflicted with cancer by empowering them to learn more about themselves through their illness. During my healing in 1986 and 1987, I read his first book, "Love,Medicine and Miracles". His words helped me through some difficult times and taught me that some physicians actually put an emotional "side" on a person's illness and disease. Dr Siegel also helped my friend and co-worker Gail with her cancer diagnosis when he was still a surgeon at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Before he operated on her, he had her change her diet and visualize her tumor shrinking (and she did!).

Bernie's lecture at this Expo is entitled, "The Art of Healing and the Psychology of Illness". Bernie Siegel, MD outlines survival behavior patterns, as well as the role of love, hope, humor, spirituality, desire and intention in living a longer, happier life.
