“Freedom from Fibromyalgia”

12th Annual Fibromyalgia Conference & Pamper Day

Don’t miss this life-changing event! In addition to hearing outstanding speakers, this is an opportunity to make new friends, browse exhibitor booths, try product samples, and get “pampered” by professionals (chair massage, etc.)! Watch your mailbox for details.

With four top fibromyalgia/CFS experts, this one-day conference offers you information on conditions that contribute to chronic pain and fatigue, and what you can do to prevent or reverse them.

Dr. Robert Levene has over 30 years of clinical experience in internal medicine. He is highly regarded in treating fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, metabolic syndrome, and many other chronic illnesses and infections such as Lyme disease. He is a diplomat of The American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and The American Board of Anti-Aging, and Regenerative and Functional Medicine.

Diane Waddell has been treating patients for 15 years as a family nurse practitioner, dealing with a variety of conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, and mental wellness. She is a member of the American Holistic Medical Association and the FCI. Ms. Waddell has been nominated for the Nurse Excellence Award and Employee of the Month.

Dr. Levene and Diane Waddell will talk about specialized therapies and nutraceuticals in treating fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and related illnesses such as thyroid, gastrointestinal and liver functioning, inflammation, the immune system, and insulin and glucose issues.

Dr. Wen Liu, Ph.D.
10:45 - 11:00 AM

Dr. Liu, Associate Professor at KU Medical Center, will present an update about his on-going fibromyalgia research. He began a study using a specific type of qigong in 2010. He has completed the pilot program of about 20 people with very promising results. Dr. Liu recently submitted two papers on his research which have been accepted for publication by the International Journal of Neuroscience.

Dr. Kimberly K. Shara, D.C.
“Fibromyalgia: How Did This Happen?”
12:45-2:00 PM

Dr. Shara has over 30 years of chiropractic experience. She enjoys treating complicated cases such as fibromyalgia and TMJ. She teaches students and doctors from all over the world and currently teaches at Cleveland Chiropractic College and Johnson County Community College. Dr. Shara has also written several articles and published a paper, but her passion lies in helping patients and guiding them on their healing journey.

Dr. Shara will discuss chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia, whole food nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes that have helped her patients to live more productive, healthier lives. She will also talk about SOT, a gentle non-force chiropractic technique that has been very effective in relieving back, shoulder and neck pain.

Dr. Gannon-Bone, listed twice in Tattler Magazine as one of Britain’s best private doctors, created such a sensation at last year’s conference she is back by popular demand! She has beaten cancer twice. Through investigation and determination, 15 years later she is more vibrant than ever. She will share her personal road to and from illness.

Dr. Gannon-Bone is certified in Nutrition, Herbalism and Homoeopathy. She has used these in her work; however, now days she tends to work within the psychological and emotional/spiritual fields as she finds these are as important as diet and what to take. Gannon-Bone’s approach is to help patients find the right route to better support their health.
