OFFER MAY CONFERENCES DVD'S ARE
COMING
The content of our May
2007 Provider Conference and Patient Conference is
in the process of being put on DVD’s that will be
made available through our website,
www.offerutah.org, and at our OFFER EDUCATION
MEETINGS. Although the Provider Conference
information is very technical, it does present some
of the latest treatment methods and clinical trials
that have been pursued. The presentations are
wide-ranging and cover landmark work in Fibromyalgia
and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Our Provider
Conference presented an exciting picture of the
strides in understanding that have been made since
our 2005 conference. This should be a time of hope
for those who have suffered from CFS and FMS. These
materials will start to be available within the next
couple of months.
"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I

every wrong attempt discarded is another step
forward."
