Title: Race an issue?

The doc at the NY convention mentiond it bein an issue of latitude.......anyhow.......am sure sumone will be able to give you more info on what the doc talked about in detail that was there.....I found his talk extremly informative and interesting. I don't think it's a race issue at all......nothin should be a race issue Pam

My Doc said CH has no boundaries. He says he has people of all colors and both genders as patients.

You might want to check the archives. I think we did a survey on this a few years back and the conclusion was that race had nothing to do with it.

The demon is not particular about who he hits....

At the convention in NY this year Dr. Bigal (assistant professor of neurology) from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University talked to us all and had a slide show.....really cool doc.....and he got on the subject of latitude as far as the CH was involved.....he mentiond certain areas have none sorta info. I fund it very interesting.....but will need sumone that took notes and better informe'd with all the info he gave and post for you. No mention of race.....but the latitude deal was an interesting fact he gave. Hopefully sumone will be able to post some of his speech 'exact'. I'm assumeing the latidtude deal has sumthin ta do with daylight hours and the hypotomious or whatever that word is. But check out what he talked about in that matter if you can find the info.

PS: But...if basically all you are interested in is if RACE has any connection then I suppose I am off topic...sorry..................
