Boyd Haley, PhD, MIAOMT

Mercury Toxicity Causes Same Biochemical/Physiological Abnormalities as Observed in Alzheimer’s Diseased Brain Tissue

Learning Objectives:

  1. To learn in detail the abnormal biochemistry that occurs specifically in Alzheimer’s disease brain tissue that can be induced in normal brain tissue by the addition of mercury cation
  2. To learn in detail how most of the diagnostic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease have been produced in brain tissues by exposure to mercury
  3. To be made aware of how the fraudulent research pushed by major NIH officials supporting the beta-amyloid hypothesis for Alzheimer’s disease causation has been uncovered

In 1963, Dr. Boyd Haley received his BS in Chemistry/Physics from Franklin College, and from 1964 to 66, he served as a medic in the U.S. Army. He obtained his M.S. in Chemistry in 1967 from the University of Idaho and his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry at Washington State University in 1971. His first academic appointment was at the University of Wyoming in 1974, and he was promoted to full professor in 1983. In 1985, he was hired by the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center as a professor in the College of Pharmacy in the Division of Medicinal Chemistry and the Department of Biochemistry. He was appointed Chair and Professor of Chemistry/Biochemistry in the Department of Chemistry from 1996 to 2005. He retired from the University of Kentucky in July 2008.

Thomas Levy, MD, JD

Toxins Cause All Disease

Learning Objectives:

  1. Redox biology explains all disease
  2. Toxins damage only by inflicting oxidation on biomolecules
  3. These principles allow the design of treatment protocols with greater positive clinical impact

Dr. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he became a consultant to the practice of Dr. Hal Huggins as he became aware of the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work and the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity. He has written 13 books addressing these issues. He is currently working on his 14th book, Toxins Cause All Disease.

Dr. Levy was inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in 2016.

  3. Provide a general overview of the key regulatory functions of Cuproenzymes

Morley M. Robbins, MBA, CHC, is the creator of the Root Cause Protocol designed to “Ignite Energy” in our metabolism, and is the author of the popular book: “ [Cu]re Your Fatigue”. Also known as “Magnesium Man”, he is recognized expert on mineral metabolism, and the delicate dance that Copper plays with Iron, Magnesium, and Calcium. He received his BA in Biology from Denison University in Ohio and holds an MBA from George Washington University in healthcare administration.

William M. Hang, DDS, MSD

Dentistry is Leading the Way in Lifesaving Airway Treatment. Will You Be Part of It?

Learning Objectives:

  1. The importance of breathing and sleep to health and wellness
  2. How to screen for airway issues
  3. Some of the techniques that may help alleviate airway issues

Dr. William M. Hang graduated from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry and the University of Minnesota Orthodontic program, where he briefly taught orthodontics. He was in private practice for 47 years.

Traditionally trained, he extracted teeth for crowding and often retracted them. For the last 40 years, however, he has pioneered non-retractive treatments to improve the airway in patients of all ages. For his work, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry.

Dr. Hang recently founded OrthO2Health™ to teach and mentor doctors about airway-healthy orthodontic treatments for all ages. His Early Childhood Health-centered Orthodontic Mentorship™ focuses on treatments for children approximately age ten and under, emphasizing treating in the primary dentition. The Hang E.R.R.S.™ (Extraction Retraction Regret Syndrome™) Orthodontic Mentorship addresses treatments for teens and adults to optimize facial balance and airway. Reversing previous orthodontic retractions, including re-opening previous bicuspid extraction spaces or missing lateral incisor spaces and surgery, are also integral parts of this mentorship.

Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH

Prevention of Dental Caries in Children: A Population Perspective

Learning Objectives:

  1. To be familiar with new studies on fluoride exposure during early brain development and IQ deficit in children
  2. To recognize environmental factors that may increase the risk for dental caries
  3. To distinguish between clinical strategies and population strategies to protect children from dental caries

Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH, a preventive medicine physician and professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, has investigated the toxicity of lead, fluoride, and other toxic chemicals for 30 years. Bruce led studies used by agencies to set federal standards, and his studies were the impetus for agencies to conclude that no amount of lead is safe. He has served on science advisory committees, including the National Toxicology Program and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Bruce has served as an unpaid expert on behalf of lead-contaminated communities and a federal case about fluoride toxicity. Bruce co-founded Little Things Matter to produce videos and elevate efforts to prevent disease.
