Jacqueline Russo: Jacqueline Russo began her journey in healthcare as a registered nurse and ultimately became a dentist and enjoyed a private practice in FL for 15 years.    After having health issues of her own which caused her to retire early in her career as a dentist, she became disillusioned by the mainstream medical approach of treating symptoms and not cause of disease. She became a voracious student of all things "alternative" like nutrition, supplementation, genetics and stress management.  As her own health improved, she began coaching clients, and noticed that those with periodontal issues had more difficulties returning to overall health.  Then she met Chris Kammer at the inaugural meeting of AAOSH in Madison WI and all the pieces started fitting together.  She now is a board member for AAOSH, continues her pursuit of knowledge in integrative medicine and is passionate about sharing the mission of AAOSH and elevating the profession of dentistry so we can save lives!   Chris Kammer: For more than
