@poppins Hi. We have two members that I know of that are at the conference. They said they would check back with us and share what they learned.

@poppins Were you looking for anything specific? There were a lot of presentations and very technical and detailed info as well. I am trying to sort through my notes. there were some sessions I found more interesting than others. I found the presentation by Dr. Koh of S. Korea quite fascinating -- suggestions that East Asians are way more susceptible than Europeans and N. Americans. Dr. Thomson from Australia presented some info on the dangers of shower heads (or not), which I thought was very relevant. She advised against using filters of any kind! Unless the filters are changed every 2 weeks. She recommends replacing plastic with metal shower heads and to soak heads in vinegar for 60 minutes every 6 months at minimum. She cited a study done in 2006 (easy to find I'm sure) of environmental risk factors. Dr. Aksamit mentioned a spontaneous negative conversion rate of 10-15% and I suspect that comes from drug trials where there are control groups. I did speak to Dr. Koh about that since the studies showing much higher rates have come from S. Korea. He acknowledged that with exercise and good diet, etc. that there is a much higher chance of that happening.
