Weston A Price Foundation, 'Wise Traditions Ireland' Conference, at Thomond Park, Limerick, Mar 25th & 26th 2017
The Munster chapters of the world famous Weston A. Price Foundation are proud to announce our 3rd "Wise Traditions Ireland" conference, which will take place in our familiar and highly praised venue Thomond Park, Limerick on March 25 & 26, 2017.
This years theme 'Changing Our Minds' focuses on the nutritional foundations of a healthy mind, and secondly the need for a change of mind on the official dogma promoted by the diet dictocrats!
----------
The world has changed since our last conference!
Against a backdrop of political indifference the purchasing power of our money is ebbing away as global food prices steadily rise in comparison to average income.
The media, who are supposed to serve the people, seem bent on maintaining the status quo for its own sake, meanwhile the climatic collapse of local food ecosystems looms ever larger on our horizon.
In parallel to this we have seen the dramatic rise in culinary blogging and social activism as people consciously connect the food on our kitchen tables to the overcrowded hospital corridors. There is a growing sense that things don't have to be the way they are.
The number of outlets offering ethically produced, traditionally prepared local food has exploded. Sources of Raw milk have gone from near oblivion to within reach of most people eager to seek it out, farmers are beginning to talk about the real purpose of farming and healers are beginning to see that an individual can only be well when their community and food providers are also well.
Many ancient cultures knew how to use traditional wisdom to achieve vibrant health against all the odds. The lessons they can teach us have never been more important to understand.
The conference will challenge the way you think about food, health and farming in a world flooded with conflicting expert advice. We dont need to accept that current health crises such as obesity and diabetes, though common, are normal.
With our declining mental health now a national concern it's time for mainstream opinion setters to recognise that the way our brains are nourished determines how our minds work!
---------
An international line-up of speakers, with their homework well and truly done, will blend ancient traditional wisdom with modern scientific understanding and inspire us to change our minds about decades of outdated health advice.
Join us for an event that continues to bring hope and inspiration into the lives of ordinary people struggling to recapture what is ultimately our birthright vibrant health!

Featured Speakers
Ivor Cummins AKA 'The Fat Emperor'.
Ivor is a Chemical Engineer who has worked in the Medical Device, Special Purpose Equipment and Electronic Component industries for 25 years. He specialises in Complex Problem Solving Methodology (Comparative Analysis, Mechanistic Analysis and Experimental/Statistical Inference) and finding the Root Cause of problems.
(Don't let that put you off though...he's a fascinating guy to listen to!)
From a personal health perspective he has studied the mechanistic physics and primary drivers of Dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes and Serum Ferritin. In the process he deeply analysed several hundred studies carried out over the past 5 decades and in doing so came to realise that one needs more than a general medical background in order to determine the real root cause of health issues - they also need technical expertise in scientific analysis.
(In other words...he realised that most doctors are ill equipped to really understand the meaning of most science papers!!).
The story of his journey back to health is utterly fascinating!
Sam Feltham
Sam is a founder director of the UK's Public Health Collaboration, an organisation dedicated to raising awareness of the need to change the UK government's official diet advice as it applies to patients with chronic disease particularly obesity and diabetes.
He's also a Master Personal Trainer and a guy who will go to extremes to test the veracity of official diet advice.
Jim Cronin
Jim is an Organic Gardener and teacher of horticulture. It's probably fair to say that most of the world's ecological problems could find their solution in the work that this man does! You'll kick yourself for not bringing a notebook for this one.
