Special Guest Dr Neil McKinney, Sunday, May 27, 6 to 8 pm

We have a special visitor this month at our meeting: Dr. Neil McKinney ND (http://drneilmckinney.ca) is going to be giving us a lecture!
Please RSVP  so we can get a proper feel for the amount of people coming and arrange enough seating.
6 PM for dinner (if you'd like)

Four Mile Restaurant - Tea Room
199 Island Highway, Victoria, BC
250 479-2514
Ask for the TEA room, which is reserved under "Victoria Lyme". If you are ordering dinner we would like to order it right away.
This is what he said to us about speaking to our Group:

"Like other NDs in BC I have only been able to step up and prescribe antibiotics for Lyme for about a year and a half. So I am working hard to become Lyme Literate. I have a few mentors, Dr. Ernie Murakami of course, and Dr. Usha Honeyman ND from Corvallis Oregon is helping me with cases. I hope to bring her up for a clinic soon. I have practiced 27 years now, so I do have a lot of experience with Lyme cases, but not so much with drug therapies. I am working hard on strategies to reduce antibiotic use and shift more to natural medicines, which I hope will prove less toxic and more rapidly curative."
