The main point I want everyone to walk away with from my opening keynote is that environmental health equals public health. Starting with the first environment of the mother?s womb, the overwhelming numbers of chemicals that children are being exposed to is deeply disturbing. I think many clinicians are startled when they actually hear the data. We will explore a wide range of topics including the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, pollution and asthma and BPA in canned goods and plastics and its role as an endocrine disruptor. I will be offering information from the neurological, respiratory, reproductive, and cancer perspective. Then top it off with what we can each do to improve the health of our patients and make a positive impact in the world.
