Portland, OR Area Residents: I Will Give a Public Presentation this Tue, May 6!
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
May 03 2003 | 720 views

Short notice, but if you live in or around Portland, Oregon, I hope you can attend! I will be giving a free public presentation covering my dietary plan on Tuesday, May 6 at Portland State University in the Smith-Memorial Building, Room 338, (the Vanport Room).

My presentation will begin promptly at noon and last an hour, followed by a half-hour for your questions. After that, I will be signing copies of my new book, The No-Grain Diet, for anyone who brings one along. Limited quantities will also be available for sale.

This presentation was voluntarily organized through the suggestion and efforts of Joshua Dallman, a pre-med student focused on naturopathic medicine studies at PSU, along with the help of Diane McQueen-Smith, a Mercola.com newsletter subscriber with extensive special events planning experience, so a big thanks to both of them. It is being sponsored by Portland State University’s OSPIRG group.

In my presentation, I will cover essentials of The No-Grain Diet such as:

  • Why over-consumption of grains and sugars, especially in processed foods, have been the major culprit behind various chronic diseases and the overweight/obesity epidemic

  • The myth of low-fat & low-protein, and the "Food Pyramid"

  • How the Atkins Diet, while a start, can pose serious health risks

  • The importance of consuming good vs. bad carbohydrates

  • Overcoming the emotional challenges of dieting, such as cravings and self-image issues

  • Why almost all vitamin supplements are unnecessary

  • The dangerous lack of omega-3 in most Americans diets, and how to change that when almost all world sources of fish are now contaminated with mercury

  • And much more

Again, after my one-hour presentation beginning at noon at the Smith-Memorial Center at Portland State University, audience members will be able to ask questions for a half-hour. After that, I’d be honored to sign your copy of The No-Grain Diet and say hello to you personally. Limited quantities of The No-Grain Diet will be available for sale, as well.

Please use the "Email to a Friend" feature at the top-right of this page to send to someone if you think they may be interested in attending this free presentation. I look forward to meeting you there!
