Hi Meetup Member,

Here's a brief listing of local nutrition and medical professionals with whom you might wish consult. I have had very positive personal experiences with the two listed nutrition professionals, and have gotten good feedback on the medical doctors from friends.

Please let me know of any others in these two categories who you might recommend.

Please also check out the many recent updates on Earthsave Baltimore's webpage at http://earthsavebaltimore.org/, where you will find more helpful information under "resources", and many newly listed "volunteer opportunities."

Be well!

Peace, Don Robertson
