MAGIC convention presentation -including integrative medicine

[Guest guest]

Well, I didn't want to jump the gun before I got it all approved.

But since " GETTING YOUR UNDERWEIGHT CHILD TO GAIN WEIGHT " seems to be

the ever popular topic, I decided to expand the topic at next year's

convention. Instead of using up precious little time in our

Friday " RSS only " day of presentations, Annie (director for

Rare Disorders -has a lot of Failure to Thrive kids) and I asked if

we could use 2 hours on Saturday morning. We got it approved.

I have scheduled a " combination " speaker program. Dr. Harbison, as a

peds endo. Dr. Chuck Dumont from Loyola at Chicago, as a peds GI

(who also is the Director of their Integrative Medicine (alternative

medicine) program!!!!), and then a nutrionist and speech/feeding

therapist (the latter of whom BOTH currently work with several of our

Chicago RSS children).

It was actually Dr. H who recommended Dr. Dumont. She said he is an

amazing peds GI doctor, who knows the most of anyone about RSS/SGA

kids and what combination of " convention " and " alternative " medicines

can help a child (called " integrative " ).

I know this was a hot topic a while back, and I don't want anyone to

think that I, or MAGIC, only espouses one viewpoint. However, that

being said, everything has to be run past the MAGIC's medical review

board, and Dr. Dumont is very highly thought of in the Chicago area.

I hope people get excited about this new addition. I will email more

about the other presentation topics in a couple days.

Thanks, . I have visited both kinds of doctors and have been

frustrated that they don't combine their efforts more. Both seem to have

strengths and shortcomings. I've benefitted from both approaches in my own

life, yet I've run into some really dumb conventional and alternative medicine

ideas as well! It would be nice to talk to someone who knows the advantages of

both and is willing and able to look critically and scientifically at the

shortcomings of both.
