I agree that we shouldn't knowingly propagate bad science...but faulty science didn't stop Ancel Keys and the McGovern Committee from killing millions of people by propagating and popularizing clear scientific fraud.  It's more important to have a simple, understandable message than one that's correct in every single particular -- and it's also important to remember that peer-reviewed science is often flat wrong, so citing it is no guarantee of scientific rigor.

The question is: how much simplification can the message stand before it becomes misleading, or worse than what we're trying to replace?  There is no pat answer, and we'll have to figure it out as we go.

"change in the air, and feel proud to be a part of it" pretty well sums it up. Cool study at RPI showing how as little as 10% of a population of "true believers" can influence the majority: “Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities.”
Which brings me to one of my favourite presentations: Mat Lalonde's rant about how faulty science can sink our "movement". Heed his message and we *will* prevail.

p.s. went "walkabout" with my brother and my dog for a couple weeks in the British Columbia backcountry right after the symposium -- what an august August! I am still wired...
p.p.s If you are ever up Vancouver way, give me a call.

It was a pleasure to meet you!  And "Is the ebook available" isn't a dumb question at all, even if the answer right now is still "No."

There was definitely a charge in the air, and I feel proud to have been a part of it.

Some of the most fascinating ideas were popping around during the breaks. What blew me away was how approachable everyone was and how people were genuinely interested in new knowledge. I enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you at a future event (I was the idiot who asked if your book was available as an ebook -- blame the Nook I picked up the day before).

A pleasure! Food will be critical, as I can't drive to next year's symposium (I mostly ate out of my cooler this year).

Good work and all your suggestions for next years AHS are spot on. FOOD!!

I barely got to say "hello" to the Eadeses.  They're among the many people I wish I had been able to converse with.  It's hard to overstate how hectic those two days were.

eddie, Todd S.:

I didn't watch Don Matesz' talk.  Apparently it was somewhat more moderate and reasonable than his recent postings, but I have no interest in the theoretical foundations of woo.  Give me Mat Lalonde any way.

Patty:

It's probably good that unfinished business gives us something to look forward to next year!

Tony K:

Thank you!  A pleasure.

Aaron:

Likewise!  I'm proud to have been a part of the first AHS.  

I think you'll find the upcoming articles intriguing, and I look forward to your thoughts.

neal matheson:

Dr. Eaton's talk isn't uploaded yet, but it should be at some point:

http://vimeo.com/ancestralhealthsymposium

And I love and respect Frank, but I disagree with him on the role and function of MMA.  It's not a street fight.  The time of the brawlers like Tank Abbott is long past, and anyone who steps in the ring without a clear head and a diverse set of skills honed over years of training is going to get tapped or KTFO.

Chris:

I'm always glad to meet my readers and fans.  Thanks for the support!

Peter:

Absolutely!  I'm glad to plug your work.

Garrett:

Read it whenever you're moved to...it's not an assignment.

Tim:

Like I said to Patty, it gives us something to look foward to next year.

Julianne:

I was glad to see you and Jamie there, especially since it was such a long trip for you.

Michelle:

The funny thing is I was debating whether to wear the kilt or the suit.  It's a good thing I chose the suit, or Andrew and I would have had to fight!

It was all such a buzz. And great to meet you too.
More time to meet and talk to people at a BBQ or similar sounds like a great idea.

I agree - disagreement is great, it stimulates questioning ones (possibly entrenched) point of view, and more research and debate.

Thanks for the spectacular Korean BBQ pick on Friday night and working your magic to get us in. I'm sorry that we didn't get a chance to talk much, let's make it happen next time.

Best,
