From the IABC headquarters in Florida we have received this
announcement of the upcoming 8th annual meeting in Greece. I have
previously posted in this forum the program for the 7th int'l
conference in Helsingør, Denmark, plus several supplementary reports
on the EChT cancer therapy, Dr. Nordenstrøms work, and other EM
experimental therapy techniques. Please search the archives if you
have not seen these articles.

Please send your abstracts and articles directly to the IABC, and not
to us! However, we will be willing to help European, Asian and
African/South American authors who are weak in technical English to
help restructure their papers in English, and I hope that this time,
we will be able to make the proceedings available in electronic form.

Dear IABC Associates and Friends,

The forthcoming IABC Symposium promises to be of vital interest to an
ever widening group of attendees. We anticipate a variety of
alternative medical presentations from many parts of the globe, but
our primary focus will be on electrical and/or electromagnetically
based medical innovations helpful particularly to oncologists,
ophthalmologists, and neurologists.

CANCER and EchT (Direct Current)

Oncologists attending their first IABC symposium can benefit from the
fifteen years of experience our 300 Chinese associates have had with
the application of electrochemical therapy (EchT) to many types of
cancer as well as hemangioma. Today literally thousands of cancer
patients have been treated with EchT, and the success rates achieved
have been far higher than any reported in western medicine. Led by
Professor Xin Yu-Ling, EchT is now being taught to physicians in
South Korea and other countries on the Pacific Rim. EchT is also
being used successfully at Klinik St. Georg, Bad Aibling, Germany and
in several other European clinics. Professor Bjorn E. W. Nordenstrom
discovered EchT and introduced this technique to China in 1987 where
it has now become fully accepted by the Chinese Medical Association.

AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (Micro currents)

The leading cause of blindness in persons over the age of 65 is now
being effectively treated by means of micro currents of electricity.
Several leading American researchers now preparing to introduce this
therapy into the medical mainstream will be offering presentations.
In 1997 U.S. Golfing legend, the late Sam Snead, was treated with MCS
(micro current stimulation) and over a period of four days his vision
in the better eye improved from 20/100 to 20/30. This improvement is
atypically high, but in the great majority of ARMD cases there is
either some improvement or a halt in the progressive degeneration.
MCS has also been proven efficacious in the treatment of retinitus
pigmentosa.

We look forward to learning of the recent progress made applying MCS
not only to vision problems, but also to neuromuscular and other
medical problems.


NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS (Weak Magnetic Fields)

Professors Photios Anninos, Nikolaos Tsagas, and their associates
have been making medical history with the application of weak
magnetic fields to an array of medical disorders. For more than a
decade Parkinson's Disease and epilepsy have been very successfully
treated with extremely weak magnetic fields. Other neurological
disorders such as cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's Disease, and multiple
sclerosis have also responded, but not as remarkably as has PD or
epilepsy.

More recently weak magnetic fields have been successfully applied in
the treatment of schizophrenia, autism, and infertility. The limits
of efficacy for this treatment have not yet been determined.

Our symposium president, Professor Anninos, will be pleased to share
information on the numerous medical achievements made by the
department of medical physics.

Attendees will visit the department laboratory housed in the new
University Hospital, the largest hospital in the Balkans.


The Symposium Challenge


Physician's, but especially neurologists who wish to attend the
symposium are invited to bring with them one or two Parkinson's
patients from their country of origin. The PD patients must be
ambulatory, and otherwise in good health. The patients will be
evaluated and treated during the course of the symposium.

A maximum of ten patients will be accepted for evaluation and
treatment. For more information, please contact Carl F. Firley,
medical coordinator for "The Symposium Challenge."

Attendees can inspect the superconducting quantum interference device
(or SQUID) and see for themselves how the SQUID is used to evaluate
the patient, ......and thereafter,....... how weak magnetic fields
are applied in treating the patients.

If ten patients are involved, we predict that from 5 to 8 of the
patients will clearly show improvement over the duration of the
symposium.


First Call for Papers

Complete information regarding the symposium will be sent to you
shortly. This announcement is being made in order to inform you of
the symposium dates, and in the hope that you will reserve time for
the symposium on your calendar.

In Appreciation

The pioneering BCEC research of IABC founder Professor Bjørn E. W.
Nordenstrøm ties these diverse therapies together. It is with our
profound gratitude to him and his associates at the Karolinska
Institut in Stockholm, Sweden, that we recognize the monumental
contribution to medical science made possible by Professor
Nordenstrom's work.

Respectfully Submitted,

Carl F. Firley
