There is a world-wide conversation about vaccines taking place now. Yet there is confusion on how vaccines work and what they actually do.
Join HMN San Jose and Elliot Freed in an unbiased, informative discussion about vaccines. Using scientific data and medical facts, Elliot Freed will discuss the history of infectious disease and the science of vaccines and how they affect the body.
Elliot Freed has worked as a medical editor, both in China and the U.S. He has taught Chinese medicine at his alma mater in San Francisco, The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and given seminars at UCSF and Bastyr University. He had a private medical practice in Sonoma County, California for six years where his specialty was difficult cases. More recently he has been traveling, researching and writing, and continues to consult on difficult or unusual cases around the world.
Our purpose is to generate awareness, education, and support for holistic parenting and to provide a nurturing, open-minded and respectful community for parents to share these ideals. We serve to encourage moms (and dads) in their efforts to parent naturally and to raise their children holistically, to help holistic moms find others with whom they can connect and to continually educate ourselves and our families about alternative health, mindful parenting, natural healing and environmental stewardship.
Monthly Meetings take place the First Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm, theCambrian Branch Library Community Room, 1780 Hillsdale Ave, San Jose, CA 95124 unless otherwise noted on the calendar
