We have something special coming up, and we hope you’ll join us!
On Saturday, May 16th from 1:30–2:30pm EST, we’re hosting a live Zoom presentation and Q&A about the recently published MD Anderson Cancer Center paper on the Bengston Method — and we have two special guests joining us.
Margaret Nies is Bill Bengston’s wife and one of his closest research collaborators. She has been in the room — often literally — for over a decade of Bill’s research, and nobody is better positioned to tell the story of how Bill’s early mouse research eventually found its way to one of the world’s most prestigious cancer centers.
John Lavack is a Bengston healer who spent the last five years as an active participant in the MD Anderson study. He’ll tell you what that experience was actually like from the inside, and where this research is headed next.
What we’ll be sharing:
Overview of the MD Anderson study and its findings
Margaret Nies on the history of Bill’s involvement with the MD Anderson study
John Lavack on what it was actually like to be inside the study — and where things go from here
John and Margaret will be answering your questions about this important milestone in the research journey
This is a free event, open to all, so please spread the word! The Zoom link will go out closer to the date.
Mark your calendars! Saturday, May 16, 2026 | 1:30–2:30pm EST | Zoom
We’ll see you there!
