2007 Post-Conference Report
With a full-capacity attendance of 130, the Third Annual Low Dose Naltrexone Conference was held on Saturday, October 20th in the Student Life Center of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference theme, "Breaking Down Barriers", underscored the quantum leap in the number of research centers at which trials of LDN have been implemented within the past year.
Many thanks to all of the donors who supported the conference and enabled the forgoing of any registration fee. Major financial support was received from both Victor Falah of Irmat Pharmacy and Skip Lenz of Skip’s Pharmacy. Sincere thanks also to Cyndi Lenz and Adam Lenz who videotaped and photographed the entire conference, providing the multimedia files accessed through this webpage.
