Dr. Weil Lecture at U of A Duval Auditorium - 4-4-2012
Went to listen to Dr. Weil speak to a group of mostly over 60-year olds about debunked medical treatments. I think Dr. Weil is such a sensible guy and a facinating speaker. I have been trying to get Jim to make an appointment at his renouned Integrative Medicine Center here in Tucson. It was back in 1996 when I was developing business opportunities for AT&T's newly launched Internet consumer service, WorldNet, that I first discovered Dr. Weil and his online site. I would never have imagined that some day I would be living in Tucson where Dr. Weil has his headquarters. Very cool. This was my first time hearing him speak, in person. Dr. Weil gave a number of examples of medical treatments from the past that were thought to be therapeutic at the time and later discovered to be useless or in other cases, dangerous.
