Books
Mercury, The Ultimate Truth and Chronic Disease
https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Dr-Bill-McGraw/dp/1799136418
Ever wonder why so many modern chronic diseases that were unheard of a century ago seem to have no cure? Mercury is the second most toxic element known. It has been around long before modern humans ever began but its concentration in our environment and food has increased by over a factor of 10 times since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Dr. Bill McGraw describes in amazing detail the whole story of mercury and how it came to be one of the biggest contributors of toxicity in the human body. From when and where it has been mined in the earth to how it became prevalent in so many polluting industries and most importantly, how it gets into our bodies and why it is so very hard to remove. Mercury, The Ultimate Truth and Chronic Disease contains the most complete description of the history of mercury toxicity, including the Minimater disaster from the 1950s to the present day. All major polluting industries are detailed including processes, locations, and current outputs.
Chapters on mercury in fish and marine mammals are unprecedented in their scope and range while chapters on the description of pain and inflammation in the human body will leave no questions unanswered. Mercury is responsible for deadly Alzheimer's, debilitating chronic fatigue, ubiquitous cataracts, kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression, arthritis, and allergies. The link between all of these ailments and mercury are explained in relation to all the relevant information available providing the ultimate truth about the relationship of this heavy metal to so many problems we now face. The modern forms of chelation, sweat therapy and other techniques for mercury removal from the human body are described in their entirety. This book has 45 graphs, maps, tables and pictures and includes information from over 500 sources from the latest scientific research papers to all of the well-known, modern health books so many readers of this book will recognize. This is the complete story of mercury that no one can afford to miss.
Aluminum Detox, An Easy Solution
https://www.amazon.com/Dr.-Bill-McGraw/e/B07QD1896K%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share
Measurable amounts of pure aluminum has not existed in our environment before the process to separate it from aluminum ore began on an extraordinary large scale during the last few decades. It has been shown through experimental research that as much as 85% of the aluminum that we take in through air, water, food, medicine, vaccines and cosmetics ends up in our brains, resulting in killing 35% of all elderly over the age of 80 in our modern world. This number is expected to increase to 50% during the next 20 years. Imagine if the 100s of millions of deaths from aluminum toxicity can be stopped with one easy solution.
Moreover, vaccines containing aluminum provoke an entirely different inflammatory response compared to live attenuated vaccines that don’t contain any heavy metals. It has been shown through documented research repeatedly, that heavy metals in vaccines are detrimental to health and have caused countless amounts of suffering and death. The importance of this information currently goes without saying.
From the blue zone with the special mineral waters that have been imperative to reinforce the answer, follow this incredible journey with Dr. Bill McGraw. He provides all the details of how to prevent aluminum toxicity in the human body and how to remove this deadly heavy metal. Alzheimer's is a leading cause of death and the cause and cure of this disease is not only known but being widely suppressed by modern medicine. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Read this book and spread the word so that the horrible suffering of neuro-degenerative disease can end.

Today’s episode is a TREASURE for all who find it. Dr. Neal Barnard MD will tell us how he has helped his many patients balance their hormones or heal the diseases by using specific plant-based foods. Dr. Neal Barnard is America’s #1 plant-based diet that has not only researched the science of a plant-based diet to reverse many lifestyle diseases but used it in his practice as a proof of the science. He now takes that a step further & has healed many from the suffering of hormonal imbalances by using specific foods. This episode is not only for women because he speaks about men having erection issues and prostate issues so today’s episode is for everyone.
Hormone imbalances are widespread throughout the world and that is often because many toxins in our environment mimic hormones & then cause havoc on our system. I suggest everyone listen to this episode to learn how to manage years of horrible symptoms from hormone imbalances. Listen & Learn now.
This episode may be a life saving for the millions of people who suffer from vertigo. If you have had vertigo even one time you know what I mean. Doctors will tell you there is no cure but I am going to tell you today how you can rid your vertigo & often for good.
You will learn things you never heard before & feel hopeful after you hear this information that is all about vertigo… such as why you have it & how to treat it without drugs. Most doctors can’t tell you why you have it and that is why they can’t fix it. But there are some easy tests you can do to learn why you may have it and once you know that it makes the solutions much more specific instead of feeling hopeless & lost on what to do. Don’t miss this episode and pass it on to anyone you know who has suffered from vertigo.
In today’s episode, you will hear from Dan Mathews from PETA who will tell us how the Coronavirus is bringing more awareness to the dangers of eating animals & moving more people to make the shift to a vegan diet. Dan speaks about the history of pandemics & how they are all related to the eating & killing of animals. Be sure to listen & join the healthy movement now to eat delicious plant foods so we can live together with our beautiful animals & live a more compassionate life. PETA has worked effortlessly for the animals since 1980 & is making a special effort during the Coronavirus pandemic to remind people of the dangers of eating animals on their own health in addition to the abuse that takes place to get them on your plate! Listen & learn.
Today’s episode is an interview with Martha Rosenberg. She speaks about how COVID-19 originated from eating animals & how this won't be the last time we will have a pandemic from an animal virus based on her life work. She has dedicated her life to informing the public about the truth about what is the meat you are eating & what they do hide all the drugs they feed the animals, all the viruses & illnesses they have & what they put in the meat during packaging. You will be surprised that meat is almost the last ingredient of the product if they would have to put a label on it! She also exposes the truth about the cruelty animals experience, which is important for everyone to know so they can make a choice to eat meat, based on true facts. What you hear today in this episode will shock you, I promise.

This episode is a must because the world is so much fear and each of us is already affected in one way or another. It is time to practice being in the now & take action on things we can control like building our immune system. Vidal speaks about COVID-19 symptoms and how each stage has a different symptom picture. She speaks so clearly about the importance of our body launching a fever when our immune system is taking action. This episode is full of gems to destress & learn how to take action on every level of wellness. She gives her thoughts on nature's law during this pandemic, which is very interesting. Don't miss this one!
Today's episode features Lloyd & Deb talking about a healthy New Year's resolution to take the fats out of your diet. They discuss their journey from their fruit diet, to raw food diet which made them both not feel well because they realized how many fats were sneaking into their diet just to try to maintain the raw food diet. Sometimes we work too hard to follow a diet that has a certain name rather than one that we feel well on. This episode is about them speaking candidly about why they added cooked food back into their diet to help them feel satisfied AND to be able to eat little to no fats again. Their journey can help since it is a common issue that many are faced with when trying to go raw.
This episode is not only for those on a budget but if you want to cut down your food costs and still eat healthily then you will love this one, however, if you have no food budget you will still love this episode because you will learn how to plan your meals. Why plan? Well, it helps stop food waste, saves you time during the week and most importantly helps you eat healthy home-cooked meals every day. If you don’t plan it is so easy to grab already made processed food which is loaded with fat, sugar, and salt not to mention chemicals or pesticides or both! I am pretty sure everyone will find this episode useful and if you are new to the vegan lifestyle or you are trying to eat healthier for less money then be sure to listen and check out Toni’s free meal planner on her site.

BIO of Elina Fuhrman
Elina Fuhrman is a best-selling author and wellness warrior, Founder, CEO + Chef of Soupelina, and cancer conqueror. While revered among Hollywood elite and luminaries, Elina’s fresh approach to healthy eating has made her a sought-after talent, inspiring mentor and credible wellness expert.
Elina is also an award-winning journalist who covered international news and wars for CNN, and traveled to Afghanistan to report from the front lines following the September 11th terrorist attacks. But it is her personal war against breast cancer that has inspired many and led to the creation of Soupelina http://www.soupelina.com/, the company that delivers healing organic plant-based soups and soup cleanses.
On a mission to heal herself and treating cancer as a health opportunity, Elina relied on Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to guide her in learning about the power of herbs and plants, and creating her own blends of therapeutic soups that targeted different health issues. She became a voracious student of all things health + wellness, integrating ancient healing traditions to transform a cancer diagnosis into vibrant living.
Elina’s mission-driven company not only serves her community but also revolutionizes the way America looks at food with its food-as-medicine philosophy, sustainable and innovative cooking, known for elegant style, texture and layers of flavor. With names like LENTIL ME ENTERTAIN YOU, KALE-IFORNIA DREAMIN’ and I YAM WHO I YAM, Soupelina wants people to have fun while eating healthy.
Elina’s invention of the Soup Cleanse and tongue-and-cheek line, Souping Is The New Juicing, have become headlines in publications like The New York Times, Vogue, Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP, Harper’s Bazaar, ABC’s Good Morning Americaand many others. Vogue wrote that “Soupelina has been gaining so much attention that even juice companies” have begun to stock “their own versions of soup cleanses.” ABC News dubbed Soupelina soups “soups with a purpose,” and VegNews reported that Soupelina’s “wellness-inspired” soups have “captured the hearts and taste buds of LA’s discerning diners.”
Elina’s debut book, Soupelina’s Soup Cleanse (DaCapo Lifelong, 2016), has resonated with thousands of health seekers and foodies alike. It has been translated into multiple languages published throughout Europe. Elina has become Hollywood’s go-to vegan chef to help her clients findthe perfect balance and restore health. Her celebrity fans include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, Alicia Silverstone, Coco Rocha, LeAnn Rimes among others.
Part visionary and part teacher. Elina translates her clients desires to eat + live healthy into a stylized culinary experience with genuine passion, authentic vision and knowledge of ingredients.
A graduate of University of Wisconsin-Madison, Elina lives in Los Angeles with her two daughters, singer/songwriter Madeline and actress, Isabelle.
When she isn’t cooking, writing, or spending time with her daughters or traveling the world, you can find her on the beach meditating or thinking up a new recipe. Her favorite past times include dinners with family + friends, soaking up the California sunshine, and creating (and eating!) delicious food.

Today's Episode is with Dr. Tumi Johnson MD who is a traditionally trained medical doctor that now used food as medicine with her patients. She tells her story, which is interesting in itself, but also answers so many of your questions about raw food, fruits or a plant based vegan diet. No matter where you are on your journey of health this episode with help you learn so much & motivate you to add more raw foods & fruits to your life.
I asked her many questions... for example: Are cooked vegan diets as healing as raw food? How much raw food should be in our diets? Is fruit dangerous for type 2 diabetics? Is fruit better than fruit juice? When should I juice vs. when should I use smoothies? I think many of you have these questions & more & will find this episode very informative & helpful.
Dr. Tumi is a genuine & compassionate human being & this comes thru in my interview with her. She genuinely cares about helping people learn the truth about how they can heal themselves, but also counsels them medically which is what makes her so special. She is also a professional dancer & if you have not yet seen her videos on youtube it is a must to watch her dance. Wow.
If you are interested in knowing all the components of a healthy lifestyle she helps her clients with then you should buy her book called Delicious Healing. (Link below)

Daniel James Duncan’s BIO
In order to discover this blessed lifestyle of a raw/high-fruit diet, I had to go through a bit of suffering - arising from ignorance… something I'm so grateful for experiencing, to now where I have discovered the Truth & appreciate Life in such a profound way, knowing I can consciously create my Wellbeing. Currently, I'm 23, happier & healthier than ever, but at 19, I wasn't well. I had underlying issues that caused skin problems, fatigue & depression. I was given medication called Accutane to treat this & in less than 1 year, this drug took my body from Me. From physically fit & capable, I was practically bedridden approaching kidney failure. Doctors said my symptoms were consistent with Fibromyalgia - typically only seen in the elderly. This drug fast-tracked the expression of genetic weaknesses, exactly what my mother has had for over a decade. Fortunately, becoming more health conscious before all this, I was already chasing trails of information… being guided into what was ahead. When my condition became chronic, I spent most waking hours seeking answers, eventually finding John Rose, who inspired Me to do a Juice Feast… I managed to do 100 days, achieving what would've taken 6 months to a year if I had've been simply eating fruits. This provided great relief, but did not heal Me. During the fast, I discovered Robert Morse - this is where everything changed, rapidly. Having already given up on western medicine, realizing their drug had caused my condition, I had no confidence in them, so I became my own doctor -
Morse's teachings allowed Me to execute this with certainty. After a year of studying & using his herbs to assist my organs/glands back to proper function, my body operated more efficiently than ever. The cleaner we are, the more sensitive/in tune we become with ourselves. Intuitively, I knew I had to do a water fast - so I did. After 16 days, I had exhausted all my reserves. Cleansing on fruit first for some time allowed me to safely fast on water. After delicately rebuilding on fruit (in June/July) my body had healed. Since then I've been very active, traveling, enjoying health & spreading this message. Fruit gave my life back - I now devote myself to this powerful message of fruit & fasting.
BillyMarie is an Australian citizen that is a talented singer/song writer. She has been Daniel’s girlfriend before he was stricken with his illness known in the medical world as Fibromyalgia. She too took the drug called Accutane that is given out like candy to our youth with acne. She also had her share of symptoms such as her hair falling out and an overall feeling of being poisoned. She got off the drug but then had to be the support system and caretaker of Daniel has his health plummeted and he became almost bedridden. It is of great value to hear both their stories because it is one journey to be the person in pain and yet another to be the person who is the partner who has to watch the person they love be in pain and do everything to help them when often nothing helps or works. Her story can be shared with many out there in this situation.

In this episode prominent spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom MD speaks about how to take back your life and move on! We know from his past episodes of how anger, anxiety & fear can trap us and cause us to get overly focused on the issue and not a solution. This episode brings us the HOW TO solution. Dr. Hanscom’s work is helpful for anyone not just those in a pain syndrome. It is very helpful in improving relationships in general, or for those dealing with lots of anxiety or for anyone having to combat difficult health symptoms including pain. Truthfully all of us can take his advice & improve our lives.
Once we understand how to reprogram our brain we lessen the old neurological pathways that had us trapped and we build new ones. This is called neuroplasticity and it is now proven the brain can rewire so this episode will give you tips on just how to do that! Health is freedom and having an awareness is the first step!
As you know by now that Dr. Hanscom is no stranger to the idea of pain because he too had a horrible pain syndrome with no answers that almost made him take his own life. He saw first hand how living with pain affected his family and marriage. He speaks not only from his own experience but now has hundreds and even thousands of patients healing their pain by following his work. It is truly amazing!

Dr. Hanscom deals with chronic pain patients on a daily basis year after year. After seeing new data that showed patients were worse after surgery Dr. Hanscom decided to look deeper into the issue of pain. He is no stranger to pain because he too had a horrible pain syndrome with no answers that almost made him take his own life. He saw first hand how living with pain affected his family and marriage. He now has hundreds and even thousands of paitents healing their pain by following his amazing work!
Dr. Hanscom believes that each human being has a deep drive to thrive and give back. This force is frequently compromised by chronic pain, which has been documented to have a similar impact on your quality of life as terminal cancer. Life becomes one of survival. Through his own personal ordeal, he discovered that chronic pain is curable by systematically using established medical practices in a self-directed manner. The key is to connect to your own capacity to heal.
Dr. Hanscom is an orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon who now understands that most chronic pain from any source is solvable – usually without surgery. He is the creator of the DOC (Direct your Own Care) program, which is the subject of his book, Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap out of Chronic Pain. He also publishes a weekly blog and maintains a website, www.backincontrol.com, to provide resources for chronic pain patients and their families. Dr. Hanscom distinguishes himself from many spine surgeons in that he strongly encourages non-surgical solutions for his patients.
Working from his practice at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Hanscom witnessed scores of patients recover, usually without surgery. Through these experiences and his own personal victory over a severe chronic condition, he came to understand that chronic pain, rather than being a structural problem, was a neurological condition; and that most chronic pain, whatever the cause, duration, or degree, is solvable.
As patients apply Dr. Hanscom’s DOC program (Direct your Own Care), in which they choose and perform activities that have been documented to be effective by extensive medical research, the results are often miraculous. Not only have hundreds of people become pain-free using DOC, many of Dr. Hanscom’s surgical patients have opted out of surgery after trying the program for a few weeks. The key to alleviating chronic pain, Dr. Hanscom discovered, is the patient’s control of his or her own treatment plan.
He didn’t always believe this way. He spent the first eight years of his practice willingly performing spinal procedures to cure his patients’ discomfort–until research data revealed that the overall success rate for surgery performed for low back pain was less than 30%.
Meanwhile, he was struggling with chronic pain and was suffering from an additional 15 symptoms caused by his stressed nervous system. They included unrelenting anxiety and tinnitus that nearly put him over the edge. He inadvertently discovered an effective (non-surgical) tool that began his path to healing over a mere six months. The experience opened his eyes to the fact that the source of most people’s chronic pain was in the nervous system, not the skeletal system.
Determined to raise the odds for successful spine surgeries, Dr. Hanscom began teaching surgical residents and fellows; partnered with his hospital to establish a database that identifies patients who are at a high risk for negative surgical outcomes; founded the Puget Sound Spine Society, of which he is current president; and, as orthopedic consultant to Premera (Blue Cross of Washington), helped establish best practices for orthopedic surgery.
Today Dr. Hanscom’s mission is to re-introduce true healing into medicine. He feels that doctors should be given the time to understand their patients and the life situations surrounding their medical problems. Currently, we are prescribing simplistic solutions for a complex problem. Only then will we see far greater success in treating chronic pain and protecting patients from risky and costly surgeries.

Todays interview with Dr. Morse will teach you about how eating a mostly fruit diet is the not only the diet man should be eating since we are a frugivore, but also it is the food that detoxifies & regenerates our tissues, which is the key to healing all so called diseases. Dr. Morse does a reading of Lloyd’s eyes to show how iridology works as a map to show problem areas or weaknesses regarding our health. It is so fascinating because Dr. Morse is really the best in the world at both iridology and detox & regeneration. He has healed people with incurable diseases like ALS, MS & many neurological conditions including getting quadraplegics out of a wheelchair only by eating fruit and using herbs to detox and regenerate. AMAZING!

Today’s guest is Armita Dalal. Armita is a long time patient of Vidal & speaks about how she has used homeopathy to heal her whole family. Armita & Vidal have a candid and deep conversation about the beauty & benefits of homeopathy but also the challenges.
Armita asks Vidal questions that she feels many of you out there may have so you too can begin to use homeopathy for healing on your journey & that of your family, friends & animal companions. You will hear Vidal speak about how to start using homeopathy right away and what conditions you should treat or not treat and what potencies are best for home use.
Rosalee de la Foret joins the Vidal Speaks podcast for the second part of the conversation about how and which spices and herbs to incorporate into your daily meal, to transform your food into medicine.
Nature’s medicine is again proving that these so-called “incurable diseases” can be treated and healing can be achieved. Toxins damage our cellular function and if we actively detox, we can enjoy the health that our bodies naturally promote.
If you want to know more about Rosalee before listening to this amazing talk, here are some details about her journey. For over a decade her calling has been helping people to radically change their health using herbs and other natural remedies. Through this, she has helped hundreds of clients reclaim their health and has taught thousands of herbal students in online courses and intensive retreats. She is the Education Director for LearningHerbs, one of the most innovative herbal companies of our time, and is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild RH (AHG).
But her story begins long before she had become a successful herbalist. She admits she’s been a natural health nerd her entire life. As a teenager, she would prowl the natural health foods store and look up remedies in the Natural Prescription for Health book by Phyllis Balch.
But while she had long been interested in natural remedies she didn’t really take them seriously until they saved her life. When she was 23 she suddenly became very sick. She spent an entire month in bed, tormented with musculoskeletal pain, an itchy body rash that came and went, and a fever that spiked at night and went away during the day. She was finally hospitalized after becoming severely dehydrated and after two weeks was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Still’s. The doctors didn’t have good news. They gave her steroids and said it would be a slow and painful decline to an early death.
For about three days she just cried and cried and wondered, “why me?” But then, she did what she had always done and started researching alternative solutions to autoimmunity diseases to see what she could find.
Over time she began to see that there were lots of small signs leading up to her autoimmunity disease and her “healthy” soy vegetarian diet wasn’t serving her. She realized she needed a total health makeover to purge a lot of health fads from her life. She also assembled a team of people to help her, from acupuncturists to herbalists to naturopaths to massage therapists.
After six months of intensive work, she became symptom-free from this “terminal” and “incurable” disease and she has continued to live symptom-free for over a decade.
Her experience with autoimmunity further inspired her to delve into the natural health world. She knew she wanted to help people like her: people who wanted to find the root cause of their health problems so they could live a healthy and vibrant life.
She thought about being a naturopath but she didn’t want to focus on supplements or any type of one-size-fits-all medicine (similar to western medicine). She thought about becoming an acupuncturist but she knew that in China the major form of medicine was the plants. So, she decided to study the art of herbalism.
She has over 10 years of training as an herbalist, from ethnobotany and wildcrafting to clinical herbalism. She’s graduated from the four-year clinical program at the East West School of Herbology and has been mentored by some of the most outstanding herbalists of our time, including Michael Tierra, Paul Bergner, and Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa.
Besides her interest in herbalism, she also spent four years of intensive training as a Structural Medicine Specialist with the Institute of Structural Medicine. Through that process, she became a licensed massage therapist and practiced for five years before turning her full attention to herbs.
She has helped people use herbs to get better health since 2006. She now works with people all over the world through long-distance consultations via the telephone and Skype.
She also is very dedicated to herbal education. She is the Education Director for LearningHerbs.com, which is one of the most innovative herbal companies that exist today. She regularly provides how-to articles, herbal recipes, videos, and herbal presentations for their website HerbMentor.com. She is the author of three online courses produced by LearningHerbs, including the Taste of Herbs, Herbal Cold Care, and Apothecary.
She has a mentorship program where she mentors dedicated herbal students to help them accelerate their herbal path so they can create their own thriving clinical practice.
If you love learning about herbs, living a healthy life, and being connected to nature you’ll surely enjoy this episode. Transform your life — learn about what nature offers to us!

She’s graduated from the four-year clinical program at the East West School of Herbology and has been mentored by some of the most outstanding herbalists of our time, including Michael Tierra, Paul Bergner, and Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa.
Besides her interest in herbalism, she also spent four years of intensive training as a Structural Medicine Specialist with the Institute of Structural Medicine. Through that process, she became a licensed massage therapist and practiced for five years before turning her full attention to herbs.
She has helped people use herbs to get better health since 2006. She now works with people all over the world through long-distance consultations via the telephone and Skype.
She also is very dedicated to herbal education. She is the Education Director for LearningHerbs.com, which is one of the most innovative herbal companies that exists today. She regularly provides how-to articles, herbal recipes, videos and herbal presentations for their website HerbMentor.com. She is the author of three online courses produced by LearningHerbs, including the Taste of Herbs, Herbal Cold Care, and Apothecary.

The Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies That Heal, by Rosalee de la Foret
Deborah Vidal welcomes J, the hydrogen man, for the second time to the Vidal Speaks Podcast. He speaks about the benefits of hydrogen water and how to make it. There is research that links health and longevity with water filled with H2. After this discovery, machines that add hydrogen to water started to be developed; not all of them achieved the best results, and that is why J has dedicated time to test them all and find out which is the best way to drink hydrogen water and even breathe it!
J, also known as the hydrogen man, has made his life mission to help others heal. Like many other people who have become experts or healers, he started as a sick person. He was stricken by a pain syndrome that lasted almost 15 years. Before this period of pain, he believed he was invincible like we all do when we are young; he thought that if he worked out and exercised, he would be healthy forever; he focused on exercises but not on other aspects of his health.
Then his years of pain began, which lead him to despair, as happens with any pain syndrome. Like most people with chronic pain, he went from suicidal wishes to endless research for healing. He tried everything, every diet, every supplement, and every healing modality until he had his health back. The thing that worked for him was a clean, organic, vegan diet. Detoxing and finding the research of the hydrogen water lead him to his ultimate cure.
He read every possible research and scientific article on hydrogen water. He tested every machine in the market and after all these, he discovered the best and most proficient way to heal and that is by drinking a very specific water made only by one machine, and he will explain why this one is so different from other ways of making hydrogen water.
After experiencing his own healing and then his family members’ too, J became convinced all he read about hydrogen water was true because he witnessed it. His story is an amazing one and he has many other amazing stories about how other people healed too. He put all this information for free on his YouTube channel.

If you haven’t heard about Martha Rosenberg, here is some information. Martha is a former advertising copywriter who knows a lot about marketing. She began as an investigative journalist and since has been on TV and radio as a health expert. Martha has taught about drug marketing tactics at a Chicago medical school and is part of the FDA press corps. Her book “Born with a Junk Food Deficiency: How Flaks, Quacks, and Hacks Pimp the Public Health,” exposes what goes on behind the scenes in the food and drug industries.

Deborah Vidal welcomes Mytrae Meliana to the Vidal Speaks Show. Vidal extends an invitation to you to keep an open mind and listen to a story of healing, of overcoming a diagnosis and symptoms of Lyme disease through a spiritual intervention with the guide of John of God as well as a lifestyle change.
Mytrae Meliana is a women’s empowerment and Divine Feminine teacher, soul purpose coach, holistic psychotherapist, and sound healer. She empowers women to find their voice, stand tall in their power, love and be loved, and live from their Soul. She helps them connect with their Inner Goddess. Mytrae awakens people to their Soul Purpose so they can create a life of joy, passion, and inspiration from the inside-out. She heals people from trauma and blocks from past lives that cause physical illness and emotional issues in this lifetime.
Mytrae’s spiritual path, which she’s had for most of her life, has wound through Integral Yoga, Tantra, mysticism, and metaphysics. She was miraculously healed of Lyme Disease on her first visit to John of God, a spiritual healer in Brazil. Her own life journey is a testament to hope, possibility, and the power of love.
An award-winning writer, she’s the author of John of God: A Guide to Your Healing Journey with Spirit Doctors Beyond the Veil, and How I Healed From Lyme Disease: My Story, Lessons, And Steps To A Miracle.
A pianist, she is blessed with the gift of channeling what her Guides call “The Language of Light.” What comes through her is celestial music from Father Creator and Mother Creator. This music contains healing keys which unlock and release disease, retrieve fragmented soul parts, activate chakras and DNA, and people’s wisdom, love, strength, and Divinity.
She teaches “Women and Tantra” in the Women's Spirituality program at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).
In case you haven’t heard about John of God, here is some information about him. João Teixeira de Faria, internationally known as John of God or João de Deus, is one of the most powerful channeling mediums and healers alive today. He began his spiritual career over 30 years ago and in this time has helped millions of people heal a variety of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual diseases.
John of God is a humble man who is very clear about one thing: “I do not cure anybody. God heals, and in his infinite goodness permits the Entities to heal and console my brothers. I am merely an instrument in God’s divine hands.”
There are a variety of spiritual healing guides that have chosen to work with and through John of God. Together they treat the whole person and their whole life. The glue that binds humanity is Love and John of God and the entities are most concerned that you are whole and a reflection of this love in the world, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He and the entities, through a constant and thorough cleaning of your energy field, and your own efforts, are able to elevate you in a phenomenal way to become who you truly are — radiant and a reflection of the divine on earth.
Healing services are provided at The Casa De Dom Inacio in Brazil in person and through Crystal Healing Beds. Many make the trip to meet John of God and receive healing in person. For those who are unable to make the trip or those who are continuing their healing journey, John of God Crystal Healing Beds are available around the world through selected spiritual practitioners. He also offers distance healing.
Some of the physical diseases that have been healed in others are AIDS, cancer, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, and injury from sports and accidents. Some of the emotional diseases that have been healed in others are addictions, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Karmic patterning, family lineage, as well as relationships between families and loved ones can also be repaired and restored.

Today Vidal receives Renee King-Sonnen, today’s episode is about a love story and how love can transform us in amazing ways.
This is Renee’s personal journey before and after opening an animal sanctuary.
Renee was born and raised in Houston, Texas and is the founder of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. Renee was a dyed-in-the-wool city girl before moving with her husband, Tommy, to their Angleton, TX Ranch in 2009. She fell in love with all the farm animals on the ranch. She had no idea that her life was about to be forever changed as a result of her husband’s ranching business.
After witnessing time and time again the ranch’s baby calves going to the sale barn, she became more and more depressed about the inherent cruelty of the ranching business. By October 2014, she had decided she no longer wanted any part of ranching. She went vegan and began her pursuit of a dream to open a farm animal sanctuary. She forged relationships with many key leaders in the vegan movement who offered insight and counsel and with tremendous determination she worked toward creating a sanctuary out of what was once a beef cattle ranch.
Renee’s background includes a star-studded career as a professional singer, songwriter, and recording artist. In her life before Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, Renee traveled extensively with her band, Renee King & Wildcard, and her album, Renee King Queen of Honky Tonk. In addition to her work in the music business, which also included producing and being a publicist, Renee was a Top Producing Realtor® for five years running in Pearland, Texas. She founded and owned a wellness spa, where she was a certified Hatha and Kundalini yoga instructor and Ayurveda practitioner.
Renee’s passion is her greatest asset, and whatever she invests her time and heart into has manifested brilliantly in the world. But she believes her true calling has finally found her in her work at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. Her desire to be a mother has been fulfilled in the care of the farm animals at RGS. And now she is a catalyst for change in a sometimes dark and cruel world to educate others about the vital importance of adopting a vegan lifestyle. Renee finds her greatest strength in the still, small voice inside her that she has come to know through her practice of yoga and meditation.
This episode leaves us full of joy and hope; changes are possible when motivated by love and awareness. Get inspired by this beautiful life journey!

Today, Vidal welcomes one of the highest exponents in the environmental field, Ken Cook.
Ken Cook, president and co-founder of Environmental Working Group, is widely recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture, U.S. food and farm policy, and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances.
Under Cook’s leadership over the past 20 years, EWG has pioneered the use of digital technologies to expose the harms done by misconceived crop subsidies, crop insurance, and runaway agricultural pollution. The organization has also empowered American families with easy-to-use, data-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in foods, drinking water, cosmetics and other household products. These unique digital resources are searched hundreds of millions of times by consumers, journalists, and policymakers.
Cook is a widely sought public speaker on these and other environmental health issues and is frequently cited for the outsized impact that his and EWG’s work has had on policy debates in Washington and state and local governments across the country.
Cook has addressed food, agriculture, and toxics policy in countless media interviews, including with 60 Minutes, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, MSNBC, CNBC, FOX Business News, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, Reuters, The Los Angeles Times and The San Francisco Chronicle. He testifies regularly before House and Senate committees and for the past 20 years has briefed top White House officials and every U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and EPA Administrator on EWG’s research and policy positions.
He has been recognized with multiple awards from health and environmental organizations including Mount Sinai Hospital’s Children’s Environmental Health Center, the U.S. Healthful Food Council, and Epidemic Answers.
Cook is a board member of Food Policy Action (and founding chairman), Organic Voices and the Amazon Conservation Team and a former member of the board of the Organic Center. He earned a B.A. in history, a B.S. in agriculture and an M.S. in soil science at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Today at Vidal Speaks you will get to know all about Medical Marijuana with
Dr. Rachna Patel.
Dr. Patel completed her undergraduate studies at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) and went on to become a physician and completed her medical studies at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine (Vallejo, CA).
She stumbled on an ad that said “Medical Marijuana Physician Needed.” Knowing from first-hand experience that marijuana worked like a charm in resolving insomnia, she read every bit of research in peer-reviewed journals that she could get her hands on. Though the research was limited, it certainly showed promise, especially for conditions such as chronic pain, nausea and vomiting, and poor appetite.
So, a year later, she packed her bags and headed back across the country to witness the actual results patients were experiencing. There were patients that came off of highly-addictive daily pharmaceutical drugs for chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, and, instead, were using marijuana only on an as-needed basis for these medical conditions. Patients with epilepsy, who weren’t able to function because of the highly sedative effects of pharmaceutical drugs, now had a sense of normalcy in their lives.
Then, there were patients with Parkinson’s who experienced a reduction in tremors and patients with Multiple Sclerosis who experienced a reduction of spasticity. The anecdotes are countless.
After about a year and half of working at these mills, which were just churning out medical marijuana cards for patients, she decided to start her own practice in Walnut Creek, CA, so that she could perform her work with a greater level of integrity and where she has been working for over half a decade.
Enjoy this amazing episode and learn everything about how Medical Marijuana has been helping lots of patients and so can do it with you.

April Danann — A Short History
April Danann left Canada for Europe in 1997, following a job offer in Amsterdam to start up the European branch of a Canadian company and then ended up staying, realizing her heart belonged here amongst the blow-ins and the original food culture that has become her life.
She'd always longed to live in Europe. Even though she was born and raised on Canada’s East coast and loved the fresh air, the wildness and sometimes the snow, she thinks it prepared her for West Cork and the rainy days of Ireland.
April has worked as a Medical Intuitive since as long as she can remember. Her interest in food and nutrition were natural companions to her ability to hear the body’s voice. Although she left the corporate world when her son was born to work on her own terms, in her own way; it prepared her for all that was to come.
Starting something, anything, from scratch is something that comes easily, quite like her West Cork kombucha scobies and apple cider vinegar mothers. Capturing wild organisms and growing a business; life just gets better.
Certainly, a great episode filled with useful information for you to get healthier one choice at the time, connecting with nature and becoming aware of the messages your body is giving you. Enjoy!

The ethical considerations of treatment of animals, the environment, and health were natural outgrowths of these practices. Her early studies in meditation took her to India on retreat several times. Since then she undertook the study of Mindfulness Meditation, which she has practiced for over twenty-five years. She has studied with some of the best-known leaders in mindfulness practices. She has also been featured on CBS-TV, ABC-TV, Prevention magazine, USA Today, Huffington Post, The Saturday Evening Post, and NSPR. She created and starred in her own CBS television show, Lani’s All Heart Aerobics, and has served as presenter and consultant for the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, The Complete Health Improvement Project, and Plant Pure Nation.

Dr. Kristin Neff studied communications as an undergraduate at the University of California at Los Angeles. She did her graduate work at University of California at Berkeley, studying moral development with Dr. Elliot Turiel. Her dissertation research was conducted in Mysore, India, where she examined children’s moral reasoning. She then spent two years of post-doctoral study with Dr. Susan Harter at Denver University, studying issues of authenticity and self-concept development. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
During Dr. Neff’s last year of graduate school, she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation in the Insight Meditation tradition ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion — a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically.
In addition to her pioneering research into self-compassion, she has developed an 8-week program to teach self-compassion skills. The program, co-created with her colleague Chris Germer, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, is called Mindful Self-Compassion. Her book, Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, was published by William Morrow in April, 2011.
In our conversation today we talk about the difference between self-esteem and self-compassion, and how self-compassion can help you heal.
Outline of This Great Episode
[3:19] Deborah introduces Dr. Neff.
[5:21] How did Dr. Neff become interested in self-compassion?
[7:18] Self-esteem and self-compassion are intricately connected.
[9:02] Parents aren’t raising their children’s self-esteem in healthy ways.
[13:36] There is such a thing as healthy self-esteem.
[15:14] How does abuse affect self-esteem?
[17:21] Compassionate self-talk and compassionate self-touch are important.
[21:52] You can help yourself through shock and grief.
[25:35] It’s very important to distinguish self-compassion from self-pity.

He trained in internal medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital as well as gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at the University of North Carolina. During his 12 years of medical training, Dr. B. was recognized for his clinical excellence and received the highest award given in both his residency and fellowship program.
Did you know that colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in America? (Number one is lung cancer.) Dr. B. has seen some severe cases of colon cancer, often times among people younger than 50, and it is always heart breaking. On the show, Dr. B discusses why you should seriously consider a plant-based diet, why acid reflux is on the rise, the dangers of taking too many antibiotics, and why you should get a colonoscopy. This is part 1 of a 2-part interview, so tune in next week to hear more from Dr. B.!
Outline of This Great Episode
[2:50] How is a vegan diet related to weather?
[6:10] Who is Dr. B.?
[9:40] Why did Dr. B. switch to a plant-based lifestyle?
[17:55] Traditional doctors simply aren’t talking about diet or nutrition at all.
[20:45] So many doctors are afraid of saying, ‘I don’t know.’ Instead, they’d rather tell you it’s dangerous before researching the facts.
[21:45] Most doctors who treat inflammatory bowel diseases will tell you that diet has no effect on these diseases. This is wrong and science has proven this is wrong.
[22:50] So many women are afraid of eating soy products because they do not want to get breast cancer. This information is simply false.
[27:00] The average American spends 85-90% of their food budget on processed food, meat, or dairy.
[28:20] What are some of the common things Dr. B. sees in his practice?
[31:05] Why is acid reflux on the rise?
[38:50] Good guys prevail. If you have enough good bacteria, they are able to fight off the bad guys.
[40:10] Not all medicines are bad. There’s no question that the invention of antibiotics has saved lives and increased our life expectancy by 15 years. However, the regular use of antibiotics is hurting our bodies.
[42:55] The idea isn’t to obliterate the bad bacteria. The idea is to empower the good bacteria.

Ellen Jaffe Jones is an inspiring motivational speaker, personal trainer, running coach, author, and instructor of healthy cooking classes.
As a former investigative reporter and anchor for 18 years in major market TV news, Ellen won two Emmys and the National Press Club award. She became known as the “Earth Mother in a Suit” when she left TV and became a successful Wall Street financial consultant for five years. She wrote her first book, Eat Vegan on $4 a Day, after seeing too many news stories saying eating healthfully was impossible on a budget.
Ellen, an accomplished endurance and sprint runner, has won 104 5K+ Age Group awards since 2006.

Her other titles include Kitchen Divided, which was written for vegans who are sharing a kitchen with an omnivore, and Paleo Vegan (co-authored with Alan Roettinger). Ellen researched different versions of paleo diets on the market and was able to combine the essence of paleo diets with vegan principles in a 100% vegan cookbook. Ellen’s books to be released in the next year include Vegan Sex and Vegan for One.

Are you eating a plant-based diet? Are you trying to? Are you curious about the benefits? Or, do you know anyone who is trying to transition to a vegan lifestyle?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then today’s interview is for you.
Today I’m pleased to be talking with Lani Muelrath. Lani has been vegetarian/vegan since 1973, when she also started teaching yoga and began a meditation practice. The ethical considerations of treatment of animals, the environment, and health were natural outgrowths of these practices. Her early studies in meditation took her to India on retreat several times. Since then she undertook the study of Mindfulness Meditation, which she has practiced for over twenty-five years. She has studied with some of the best-known leaders in mindfulness practices. She has also been featured on CBS-TV, ABC-TV, Prevention magazine, USA Today, Huffington Post, The Saturday Evening Post, and NSPR. She created and starred in her own CBS television show, Lani’s All Heart Aerobics, and has served as presenter and consultant for the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, The Complete Health Improvement Project, and Plant Pure Nation.
Lani is truly an expert on adopting a mindful, vegan lifestyle, and I hope you enjoy this interview with her!

[16:22] Lani’s experience with wildlife advocacy inspired her to stop eating dairy and transition to a vegan lifestyle.
[18:34] Start where you can, and don’t worry about judgment from others.
[19:32] How can we help people realize the harm that is being done by consumption of animal products?
[27:23] What steps will you take on your journey to a mindful vegan lifestyle?
[36:22] Exercise is probably more important for lifestyle change than you know.
[37:44] You must become the master of your habits.
[40:09] Lani’s books have different focuses but they all mention fitness, plant-based nutrition and mindfulness, because they go hand in hand.
[41:27] Each phase that Lani has identified is crucial to the journey.
[46:46] What are the biggest challenges for people attempting to transition to a vegan lifestyle?

Have you heard of the “slow living” movement? If you’ve been feeling stressed out, or like you have too much on your plate, today’s show is really going to help you put things into perspective.
Our guest, Carl Honoré, is an award-winning writer, broadcaster, TED speaker and the global spokesman for the Slow Movement. Carl travels the world to teach individuals and organizations how to power forward by slowing down, and whether running a small workshop or speaking to thousands from the stage, Carl is dynamic, inspiring, insightful and funny. His audiences range from C-suite executives, entrepreneurs and IT professionals, to teachers, academics, and medical practitioners. Before spearheading the Slow Movement, Carl spent a decade working as a journalist. He covered Europe and South America for the Economist, Observer, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, Time, National Post, and other publications.
Translated into 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. His first book, In Praise of Slowness, was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It was also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina’s version of Big Brother, and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. His second book, Under Pressure, was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Award, the top prize for nonfiction in Canada.
Carl recently joined the Advisory Board of Jack Media, which makes a Slow messaging app. He also sits on the Board of Trustees of Hewitt School in New York City.

Today we are talking with Michael Antoniou, PhD, a reader in molecular genetics and the head of the Gene Expression and Therapy Group at King’s College London School of Medicine in London, UK. He has 28 years of experience in the use of genetic engineering technology, investigating gene organization and control, with over 40 peer reviewed publications of original work, and holds inventor status on a number of gene expression biotechnology patents. Dr. Antoniou has a large network of collaborators in industry and academia who are making use of his discoveries in gene control mechanisms for the production of research, diagnostic and therapeutic products and human somatic gene therapies for inherited and acquired genetic disorders. Our conversation today is a long one, but a great one. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Outline of This Great Episode
[2:38] It’s amazing that we are living into our fifties with all of the toxic exposure in our world today.
[4:29] Vote with your money.
[6:02] Industry studies on pesticides are kept secret under commercial confidentiality rules, and there are many myths surrounding GMOs.
[8:31] Glyphosate is the most widely-used pesticide.
[12:47] Deborah introduces Dr. Antoniou.
[15:37] What is a molecular geneticist and what do they do?
[16:05] Each gene carries its own set of control elements.
[17:54] We carry the totality of our DNA in every cell in our bodies.
[20:32] What are epigenetics?
[26:25] Dr. Antoniou saw that explanations about the safety of GM plants didn’t add up.
[32:14] What are the implications of GMOs for human health?
[33:38] GM crops have failed to deliver every benefit their producers have promised.
[34:56] What traits are GMOs altered to have?
[38:18] There have been reported cases of allergies only to GMO crops.
[39:49] What does Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s research have to do with GMOs?
[40:52] 50% of American children have at least one chronic illness.
[41:54] The adoption of chemical agriculture has turned our food into poison.
[45:02] It’s a whole chemical cocktail that is causing our problems.
[48:52] Glyphosate use has increased enormously since the introduction of GM crops.
[52:22] Why don’t we label GMOs in the United States?
[56:41] Even at low levels, glyphosate is extremely toxic.
[1:01:33] The profile of gene function is reflective of either health or disease, and Dr. Antoniou and his colleagues are looking at gene function to study glyphosate safety.
[1:06:04] Glyphosate can cause fatty-liver disease.

Detoxification can help you become healthy or stay healthy. In my opinion, detox is mandatory to live a long and healthy life in today’s toxic environment. One area of the body that needs extra detoxification support is the liver.
The liver can accumulate so many toxins over the course of a lifetime. These days, it just can’t clean itself enough. We’re all exposed to so many pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, pesticides and other environmental toxins. All of these toxins must be filtered out through your liver. Coffee enemas are a great way to help clean your liver, and lighten the burden you are putting on it. Coffee enemas can also help with pain management, depression, candida, and parasites. I hope you enjoy this informative “me-speaks” episode!

[7:02] Deborah is not a coffee drinker, and actually hates the smell of coffee. She loves her coffee enemas though.
[8:03] Coffee enemas have been used for many, many years. Coffee enemas were even featured in the Merck Manual until 1972.
[9:34] Dr. Max Gerson, MD popularized coffee enemas in his treatment for cancer and other chronic diseases.
[11:50] So, what exactly is a coffee enema?
[12:13] What does a coffee enema do?
[16:39] How does a coffee enema work?
[19:07] Herbs cannot take the place of coffee enemas.
[20:41] If I’m sensitive to caffeine, can I still do coffee enemas?
[21:51] Drinking coffee does not provide the same benefits as doing a coffee enema.

Chronic pain is a horrible thing. After suffering from debilitating migraines for more than forty years, I can sympathize with people that say they have considered suicide because of their chronic pain. Chronic pain is the reason why many people become dependent on drugs, and why opioid addiction is such a problem in our country, even for kids and teenagers. If you suffer from any kind of pain, I can’t wait for you to meet today’s guest, Dr. David Hanscom.
Dr. Hanscom is a board certified orthopedic surgeon, specializing in complex spine problems in all areas of the spine. He has expertise in adult and pediatric spinal deformities, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. A significant part of his practice is devoted to performing surgery on patients who have had multiple prior spine surgeries. He works for Swedish Neuroscience Specialists in Seattle, Washington, and he is the founder of the Puget Sound Spine Society, a non-profit educational group which provides a regional forum for physicians to share ideas regarding optimum spine care.
He is the author of a book titled, Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain, which I highly recommend that you read, because he explains in full detail why his method works, and what you need to do to get out of chronic pain or chronic anxiety. This book will be, and has been, a miracle for many.

[1:56] Welcome to our old friends and new friends alike! The Vidal Speaks Podcast is where you can learn about all kinds of ways to get well, why a plant-powered diet is the only diet that will reverse disease in the long run, the true causes of chronic disease, and the myths surrounding treatments. Most importantly, you will learn to take charge, and heal yourself and those you love. I hope that this show will grow into a movement of people who take charge of their health! Please tune in every Wednesday and share this podcast with your friends.
[12:10] Dr. Hanscom performed state-of-the-art back surgeries for years, but was confused that they weren’t working very well.
[14:48] While Dr. Hanscom was looking for something better to help his patients, he developed chronic pain himself.
[17:14] When you feel anxiety you are really feeling a chemical surge.
[20:56] By sharing his personal experience with his patients, Dr. Hanscom has helped hundreds become pain and anxiety free.
[21:42] The human body is designed for survival.
[24:16] People often don’t see that their anger is really anxiety.
[24:42] Things started to change when Dr. Hanscom started writing things down, but it took him a little longer to really understand what was going on.
[26:41] How does the nervous system work?
[29:21] The role of anxiety is to protect us.
[30:42] Anger feels powerful, anxiety feels vulnerable.
[33:16] Forgiveness can give you your life back.
[34:48] How can you know if you have truly forgiven?
[39:18] Healing happens in phases.
[42:14] Over 300 research papers support Dr. Hanscom’s approach to reprogramming the brain.

[46:43] Thoughts are real, but they may not represent reality.
[49:09] Writing is “mechanical meditation.”
[50:06] Dr. Hanscom even practices mindfulness while performing surgery.
[51:10] The past is not fixable, and acceptance of that fact is key to healing.
[56:22] The goal should be to connect to the very second that you’re in.
[57:20] Dr. Hanscom’s method is a four-step process.
[59:13] Talking about your pain is usually not constructive.
[1:00:36] Dr. Hanscom is putting on a conference this July with Dr. Bernie Siegel.

[17:37] Most researchers can’t figure out why people stutter.
[20:43] Stutterers may be triggered to stutter by many different types of situations, and they may experience “stutter free zones.”
[24:33] Lee still considers himself a stutterer, but he knows how to prevent his stutter from emerging.
[25:18] Mainstream therapists have not embraced Lee’s methods, and that’s why stuttering is considered incurable.
[29:39] What are the steps to curing a stutter?
[35:28] What are the twelve “crutches” that Lee teaches?
[1:01:15] Don’t ever label yourself based on a behavior that you wish to change.
[1:04:14] What you focus your time and thoughts on determines your behavior.
[1:09:14] How can someone handle speaking anxiety?
[1:12:36] Take control of your mind and dictate your thoughts.

In Today's Episode
Today we are talking with an important figure in the world of detox, Dr. Daniel Pompa. I have wanted to have Dr. Pompa on the show since Episode 1, and he’s finally here!
Dr. Pompa completed his undergraduate education at the University of Pittsburgh in 1988 and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University's College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia in 1995. Even though Dr. Pompa no longer practices chiropractic, his understanding of cellular healing has lead to many speaking engagements at large chiropractic seminars, speaking to hundreds of professionals who learn of his detoxification program for neurotoxic conditions and other unexplainable illnesses. Dr. Pompa has established his coaching and teaching on a firm and proven conviction that the crisis of modern-day allopathic medicine is the sad result of physicians chasing symptoms with medication rather than addressing the root cause of disease. This even occurs within functional medicine. His approach to getting to the "upstream cause" is what separates him from others.
In this conversation with Dr. Pompa, I ask him all about his protocol so that you guys can see how it’s done. What I love so much about his protocol is that it has three phases. First, you prepare the body and repair the cell, then you do the body detox, and finally you do the brain detox. Dr. Pompa particularly stresses the necessity of using a true binder to rid your body of heavy metals, and explains to us what that is.
Through our conversation today I hope that you can learn more about how to properly detoxify your own body as part of your own healing journey.
Outline of This Great Episode
[2:11] Patients must take responsibility for their own health, rather than relying on doctors and practitioners to heal them.
[3:07] So many people are struggling with undiagnosable symptoms, and the medical world has very little success in helping these patients.
[4:16] Toxins contribute to illness.
[5:19] Dr. Dan Pompa became an authority on detox after he healed his own mystery illness through a mercury detox.
[6:20] Dr. Pompa has developed a method to detox the brain, and detox on a cellular level.
[6:45] What is CytoDetox?
[9:09] Regardless of our age, we all need to detox.
[11:25] CytoDetox utilizes a true binder. This is especially important, as it has become difficult to get other true binders without a prescription.
[14:47] What are Dr. Pompa’s Five Rs?
[16:45] Vidal introduces Dr. Pompa.
[20:41] Through mercury toxicity, Dr. Pompa moved from pain to purpose.
[25:10] Dr. Andy Cutler’s chelation methods were a big part of Dr. Pompa’s journey back to health.
[26:37] You must use chelation within a specific system or else it can lead to dangerous redistribution of toxins.
[28:45] What is the difference between upstream and downstream detox?
[30:27] What does phase one of Dr. Pompa’s program look like, in application?
[33:49] Many practitioners are approaching methylation problems in a totally wrong way.
[37:32] Phase two of Dr. Pompa’s protocol is all about setting up a correct concentration gradient within the body.
[40:30] In phase three, the “brain phase,” patients use both CytoDetox and ALA.
[44:18] Dr. Pompa has created formulas to move toxins clear out of the body after they hit the liver.
[46:07] How do you know when you are ready to move from one detox phase to another?
[46:50] Dr. Pompa is holding a training seminar in Atlanta in May.
[47:20] During phase three, Dr. Pompa will sometimes add in a supplement for the thyroid and hypothalamus.
[49:43] Dr. Pompa’s protocol involves cycling, similar to the Cutler protocol.
[50:40] Heavy metals from fillings accumulate in the brain.
[51:16] We begin accumulating toxins in the womb.
[55:00] We need to have an honest conversation about vaccines, but the mainstream media won’t go there.
[57:31] Welcome to all our new listeners! Be sure to check out VidalSpeaks.com, where you can find my story, my favorite products and much more!

[59:09] Dr. Pompa’s protocol is customized for each patient.
[1:03:14] CytoDetox is a wonderful replacement for DMSA and DMPS.
[1:07:07] Sadly, people are often very disconnected to their health until they become ill.
[1:12:14] Glyphosate is even more dangerous than most people realize.
[1:16:31] Heavy metals displace minerals.
[1:18:00] There is no perfect test to detect heavy metal toxicity, but we all need to detox.
[1:24:31] Dr. Pompa considers some common detox methods to be dangerous.

Dr. Barnard is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the 2016 recipient of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s Trailblazer Award, and has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 70 scientific publications as well as 18 books, including the New York Times best-sellers Power Foods for the Brain, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart, and the USA Today best-seller Dr. Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes.
As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. He hosts four PBS television programs on nutrition and health and is frequently called on by news programs to discuss issues related to nutrition and research.
Originally from Fargo, N.D., Dr. Barnard received his medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.
In 2015, Dr. Barnard founded the nonprofit Barnard Medical Center, which opened in January 2016, in Washington, D.C. Barnard Medical’s board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dietitians provide complete primary care. Barnard Medical also helps patients tackle the causes of illness, with extra attention on improving health through prevention and nutrition. Barnard Medical takes advantage of years of research conducted by the Physicians Committee research team and other researchers, showing how a new approach to medicine and nutrition could help prevent and reverse serious health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, migraines, and arthritis. Barnard Medical’s focus on nutrition includes comprehensive nutrition counseling with registered dietitians and group cooking classes.
As a child in Fargo, North Dakota, Barnard studied piano, cello, and guitar, and took his love of music with him to Washington, DC, where he attended medical school while establishing himself in the DC music scene. Barnard started composing and recording songs in the 80s, and he played music professionally throughout his medical school and residency. With a penchant for the avant-garde, Neal constantly writes songs that defy any genre categorization. He chooses unconventional time meters as well, in order to “tilt the song ever so slightly and give you that little jolt between the ears,” as he puts it.

More about Neal Barnard
CarbonWorks music will surprise those who know Barnard as the physician who has authored more than 70 scientific publications and 18 books, whose NIH-funded research revolutionized the nutritional treatment of diabetes, and who is a recognized authority on science and health. As founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and a faculty member at the George Washington University School of Medicine, the trailblazing physician has dramatically influenced U.S. nutrition policies, arm-wrestled with the food industry, and worked to replace the use of animals in education and research with kinder methods.
In keeping with the tradition of luminaries like Albert Einstein, who played violin with symphony orchestras and Harvard researcher Rudy Tanzi, who played keyboards with Aerosmith, Barnard’s scientific innovations are complemented by his explorations in music. As a way of bridging together these two worlds, Barnard gives talks about his findings on how music profoundly affects the brain and “why it beats heroin and Velveeta!”

TODAY’S GUEST: Dr. Reese Halter Earth Doctor Reese Halter is the recipient of the President’s Distinguished Service Award from Humboldt State University for his inimitable leadership in conservation biology, an Outstanding Environmental Awareness Achievement Award for Dr Reese's Planet from The National Society of The Daughters of the American Revolution, an Outstanding Achievement Award for writing The Insatiable Bark Beetle from California Lutheran University, an Outstanding Achievement Award for writing Shepherding the Sea: The Race to Save our Oceans from MUSE School CA, an Excellence in Conservation-in-Action Award from Sea Shepherd Australia and an Outstanding Service Award from the Rotary Club of Westlake Village Sunrise, California, for excellence in public outreach to "Save Nature Now."
Join Dr Reese Halter from the tallest trees on Earth, Californian redwoods, and largest coastal forests of the Alaskan and British Columbian wilderness, Sitka spruce, to the incomparable honeybee and the incredibly delicate Monarch butterflies that migrate southward and return northward in the summer from Canada to Mexico and Baja California (which spans the life of 3 or 4 generations of the butterfly). From the land Down Under, marvel with him at breathtaking life on the Great Barrier Reef or the incredible bees that pollinate eucalypts, and express gratitude for the colossal leatherback sea turtles and remarkable whales of the Great Southern Ocean. And from Africa please take a few moments to read Dr. Reese Halter's stories on the endangered surreal cetaceans, magnificent elephants, and majestic rhinos. Or from SE Asia the latest great coal rush killing Earth and the last Sumatran tigers that loathsome poachers are mercilessly slaughtering in the bloody 'War Against Nature'. Or the repulsive ocean-killing bloodlust in Taiji, Japan, and the Danish Faroe Islands. Kudos to Captain Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for standing up to Japan and saying "Stop Killing Endangered Whales" and Bob Barker, the late Sam Simon, Pamela Anderson, Yao Ming, Pharrell Williams and "Anonymous" for being best friends forever to the Animal Kingdom. Humans are driving The Sixth Great Extinction, destroying sea life like nothing ever before since the dawning of reproductive life 1.1 billion years ago. The bees, trees, and seas are telling us to immediately future-proof our towns and cities -- climate in crisis.
To protect nature we must love it, to love it we must understand it, to understand it we must be taught. From understanding comes wonder, which The Earth Doctor is a master at evoking. Please join him and help safeguard our environment!

TODAY’S GUEST: Ellen Kunz After finishing school Ellen Kunz went on to study pottery. In 1978 she went to the South of France to learn from a potter named Pierre Duterte. Later she had an amazing chance to learn from the most famous potter in Germany, named Wendelin Stahl. He was one of the first potters to build a bridge from handcrafted to artisan. Ellen says that he was a perfectionist and that he taught her to use her eyes and her passion, and that she was lucky to learn all she knows from him.
The next chapter of her life began in 1984 when she gave birth to her daughter, Paula. Ellen stopped pottery at this point but went into 3-year professional training to become a retail salesperson. She opened an interior design shop called SOULEIADO, which sold handmade curtains, bedding, tablecloths and living decor made with special very colorful material from the South of France.
In 1995 Ellen gave birth to her son Johann, and in 2001 she decided to close her shop to begin a study in homeopathy. She did a 3-year training with Dr. Christian Heimes and shortly after starting that, decided to go to Italy to do a master study with Dr. Massimo Mangialavori, which she did for more than 5 years. She also did a 2-year study with master homeopath Professor George Vithoulkas. Ellen went on to do many additional studies in homeopathy via seminars, webinars and short course studies that were taught by world-renowned homeopaths such as Henny Heudens, Jan Scholten, Rajan Sankaran, Dr. Farokh, Master, & Divya Chahbra.
In 2003 Ellen received the shocking news that she had breast cancer. She declined western treatment & aggressively researched her alternatives which included of course homeopathy. In 2004-2006 Ellen did a 3-year training to become a Non-medical practitioner so she could legally open her own homeopathic practice. And then in Feb 2007, she opened her own homeopathic practice, which she still has today. Ellen received her second breast cancer diagnosis in 2008, which led her to further investigate life changes, including diet and so many other alternative treatments that she credits for her cure.
And finally, just last year, after 33 years Ellen felt inspired to re-start her pottery. She now does pottery alongside her homeopathic practice. She is in the process of building her new pottery website & is excited to have this creative outlet to pour her passion into. She says it is a great balance for her to do both. There is some real magic to this because it shows her constantly how she is doing; when she creates a pot that is well done then she can tell she is in a very healthy place. Ellen loves the beauty of and in things. She likes to care for people. She says when you are healthy you are free and then all your inner beauty can flower out!
IN THIS EPISODE: Ellen Kunz, potter, homeopath, breast cancer survivor, and my soul-sister talks with me about her experiences with finding alternatives to chemo for healing her cancer. It was a long and challenging journey for her. If you have received a cancer diagnosis or you want to know how to avoid cancer, you’ll love listening to this conversation about Ellen’s experience alternative treatments.

She is an amazing person. You will be inspired by her courageous journey!

TODAY’S GUEST: Vanessa Sardi Vanessa Sardi is a 40-year-old Cardiovascular Physiologist, Certified Nutrition Coach, and Certified Health Coach, who was born and raised in New Orleans Louisiana. As a former dancer for the NFL Saints, you might say she is a 'Who Dat' fan! Vanessa loves to travel, dance, read, spend time with her dogs, and LOVES the beach and collecting seashells. As a former pharmaceutical rep, she now believes in FARM over PHARMA. She is a recovering anorexic and bulimic; November 2016 marked 10 years in recovery! Needless to say, she had an extremely unhealthy relationship with food for most of her life. Now, food is my friend; it is the nourishment for my mind, body, and soul. And when I'm sick (which I can't remember the last time I was), it's my "go-to" medicine. I am at my absolute happiest when I am helping others; whether that's helping them to change their lifestyle, lose unwanted weight, reverse their disease, offering hope to those still suffering in the grips of addiction, or encouraging those who are on their journey to becoming the healthiest version of themselves.

IN THIS EPISODE: Vanessa Sardi is a former pharmaceutical rep who realized that the drugs she was pushing were not really helping anyone. In her journey out of anorexia and bulimia to better health, she discovered the freedom found in a whole-food, plant based diet. In this episode, she talks with me about her journey and exposes the role of big pharma in the drugs that physicians prescribe. You’ll definitely want to hear her perspective and why she made the switch from pharma to farm.
Are the drugs you are taking really helping you? Many of the drugs physicians prescribe are actually more damaging than helpful. There is a vicious cycle of drugs, side effects, and then more drugs to combat the side effects. The bottom line for the pharmaceutical companies is dollars, not your better health. Listen to my conversation with Vanessa Sardi to hear her talk about two types of drugs that are particularly damaging.
How much influence do pharmaceutical reps and insurance companies have over doctors? You might be surprised. In my conversation with Vanessa Sardi, she provides an insider perspective on the ways that reps get doctors to prescribe their brand. Can you always trust your doctor to prescribe what’s best for you? Who is really responsible for deciding what you should take? Will medications contribute to your better health? Find answers to these questions and more on today’s episode!
What is the point of lowering your numbers with pills, if it doesn’t equate to better health outcomes? In this episode, I talked with Vanessa Sardi, a former pharmaceutical rep, about how to educate yourself about the medications your doctor prescribes, and how to lower your numbers through whole-food plant based nutrition instead. Please join us and listen to our conversation about treating the cause instead of the symptoms. You’ll be glad you did!
Making the transition to a healthy lifestyle can be challenging. But the benefits are worth it! Do you need to know how to get started?

If you want better health, listen to this conversation and find out the benefits and how-to’s of moving to a whole-food, plant based diet. It’s not as hard as you think!

Dr. Klaper is also the author of a successful book on cholesterol-free nutrition and an upcoming title (to be announced in 2016), as well as numerous health videos.
He is truly a source of inspiration advocating plant-based diets and the end of animal cruelty worldwide, Dr. Klaper contributed to the making of two PBS television programs Food for Thought and the award-winning Diet for a New America movie based on the book of the same name by author and former heir to the Baskin-Robbins fortune, John Robbins.

As Dr. Klaper’s medical career progressed, he began to realize (true to what science is bearing out today) that many of the diseases his patients presented with – clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure (hypertension), obesity, adult onset diabetes, and even some forms of arthritis, asthma, and other significant illnesses – were made worse or actually caused by the high-fat, high sugar, overly processed Standard American Diet (S.A.D.).
Accordingly, Dr. Klaper resolutely believes that proper nutrition and a balanced lifestyle are essential for health and, in many cases, can make the difference between healing an illness or merely treating its symptoms.

IN THIS EPISODE: On this episode, I’m talking again with Dr. Michael Klaper. He’s such a generous guy and knows a ton about the medical practice of water fasting. Many people are afraid of fasting. They think it’s unsafe and bad for your body. But the truth is that it’s only been in the most modern era that humanity has had the luxury of eating as much as we do now. Our ancestors HAD to fast and it was actually good for them. And look what’s happened as a result of our modern ways: we’ve gotten fat, lazy, and sick. Fasting is clearly not harmful.
Water fasting is an amazing way to cleanse the body of toxins and reset its ability to regulate good health. More and more research is coming out every day about the benefits that come from a prolonged state of fasting. Dr. Michael Klaper is my guest today because I wanted to know more about the benefits of water fasting - and you know that I wanted to share it with you, too, right?
Did you know that water fasting can be used to cure many of the maladies that beset our culture these days? Diabetes, high blood pressure, bowel issues, even some depressive conditions can be cured - yes, entirely cured - using a carefully supervised regimen that includes water fasting. Dr. Klaper’s clinic in southern California specializes in helping people get the help they need through fasting, at very affordable rates.
If you find yourself in a state of ill health without making much progress in the hands of conventional medicine, you need to reach out to Dr. Klaper to find out if water fasting under his care would be a way you could address your issues. On this episode I asked Dr. Klaper to share how people could get in touch with him or become a patient in his clinic, so be sure you listen to get all the details.
Can fasting be used for weight loss? Yes - but no. You will likely lose weight when doing a water fast but the purpose of fasting is not for weight loss, it’s for better health. If you approach fasting just to lose weight you’re not addressing the real issue - the dietary habits you practice every day. On this episode, Dr. Klaper makes that distinction very clear and advises you how to think about weight loss as it related to fasting so that you can not only get healthy by fasting but also think about it in a healthy way, too.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [2:00] My introduction to this episode about detoxing from fasting, with Dr. Klaper. * [4:23] The historical benefits of fasting. * [6:38] The REAL definition of fasting. * [7:48] The use of fasting in medical ways throughout history. * [10:58] Where and what is True North Health Center? * [14:50] Is fasting really healthy? Should we all be doing it? * [19:25] A good formula for relatively healthy people to fast. * [23:08] Should a person try to stay in a state of ketosis all the time? * [26:35] The carbohydrate myths going around in our culture. * [29:30] The truth about beans. * [31:10] Who is and who is not a good candidate for water fasting? * [42:14] Should distilled water be used in fasting? * [47:54] Can fasting remove heavy metals from the body? * [49:25] How brain chemistry changes during a fast (for the better). * [51:57] How to break a fast of any length. * [55:40] How should people without extra body fat approach fasting? * [58:18] Dr. Klaper’s best tips for you. * [1:00:19] How you can make use of the True North Facilities and care.

IN THIS EPISODE: The dairy industry has been around for a very long time - and for all that time we’ve been told that milk is good for us. Remember? “Milk, it does a body good!” But is that true? My guest today is an expert in the field and has discovered just how much we’ve been lied to over the years. Not only is dairy NOT good for us, it actually causes much of the sickness we see in the world today.
Dr. Klaper is someone I’ve wanted to have on my show for quite a while because he comes from a dairy industry background, having worked on his grandfather’s dairy farm as a boy. He knows how brainwashed everyone in the industry is because he was once in the same shoes. He also knows how we as consumers have been led to believe the exact opposite of what is true. Not only that, he’s got the experience as a physician to see the real life changes that happen when his patients get off dairy entirely.
One of the things Dr. Klaper says about his medical practice is that he’s one of the happiest doctors he knows. That’s because he is constantly seeing his patients get well. The non-dairy recommendations he makes bring dramatic changes to all kinds of chronic conditions almost immediately. He’s convinced how poisonous dairy is to the human body because he’s seen the results of removing it from the diet.
If you want to know what you can do to help wean our country off the poisons that exist naturally in dairy products it starts with you. You’ve got to commit yourself to getting off all dairy products for the sake of your own health first. While you’re doing that you’ll be sending a financial message to the dairy industry that won’t believe their propaganda and lies anymore.
There’s nothing like a drop income to get somebody’s attention. And the dairy industry needs that kind of wake-up call. It’s been far too long that we’ve been lied to and deceived into eating something that does an enormous amount of harm to our bodies. Will you be one of the people who makes a difference? It can be hard to change dietary habits but for your own health and the health of those you love, it’s worth the sacrifice. And you’ll discover a whole new world of great tasting foods out there in the process.

TODAY’S GUEST:
Nicholai Jablokov is the President, CEO, and co-founder of Good State Inc, an ionic mineral and nutritional supplement company founded in 2009 based in Fort Washington, PA. A former college athlete, Nicholai had goals and aspirations of making it to the next level. He had the physical tools and mental makeup but was unable to perform at his highest level due to severe nutrient deficiencies. After personal research and due diligence, he was able to understand the benefits and importance of a complete nutritional program. From there, he worked in major vitamin & health retail stores and helped countless customers get themselves on track towards a healthier lifestyle. Over time he realized the amount of energy and effort it took to try and pick out quality supplement products from a seemingly endless selection. It then became his goal to start a company which provided top quality supplements and support to help people give their body what it needs for a good state of health. From his research and experience, he decided that highly absorbable ionic minerals were the direction he needed to go. Nearly 10 years later and thousands of customers served, it is still Nicholai's belief that the key to a good state of health is providing the body what it needs in the correct absorbable form.

IN THIS EPISODE: One of my most downloaded episodes is the one Lloyd and I did a while back about vitamin and mineral supplements. That means you’re probably going to really enjoy the topic of this episode. It’s about how you can get the minerals for your body and their importance for our health. But it’s not only about taking supplements to ensure you’re getting the minerals you need, it’s about taking them in the right way and in the right form. My guest today has the experience and knowledge to tell us all about those variables and how to apply them to our health appropriately. I want you to meet Nicholai Jablokov.
Minerals are one of the things your body CANNOT do without. But it’s not as easy as getting a multi-mineral supplement from your health food store or grocer. While those may in fact contain the minerals you need, they are likely not in a FORM your body can actually use. So they are a waste of money and effort, and worst of all get your hope up that you’ll benefit when you won’t. You’ve got to get the right minerals for the body, which means the right form of mineral just as much as anything else. Nicholai Jablokov is leading the way with his company. Find out more by listening.
Ionic minerals are the right minerals for the body. They are the form that the body can actually utilize. But what makes the difference between ionic minerals and earth minerals - and more importantly, how can you tell if you’re getting the right kind? My guest today is Nicholai Jablokov, a man who has studied the issue and created the right minerals for the body to solve his own health problems. You can hear his story and find out what he’s produced to help others, on this episode.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to getting the right minerals for your body. You can’t expect that a multi-mineral from the health food store will solve your mineral problems because YOUR body has specific needs that are unique to you. You need to be able to do a hair test to find out exactly what minerals you are deficient in. Nicholai Jablokov chats with me about how his company, Good State approaches the issue of specific minerals for specific people, on this episode. I think you’ll be encouraged by the good work they are doing.
If you need to take control of your health issues you need to be aware of the deficiencies most people experience when it comes to minerals. Magnesium and potassium are two of the most common that people need and are not getting. On this episode of Vidal Speaks you can find out how to discover your own unique needs and more importantly, how to remedy your problems. I chat with Nikolai Jablokov of Good State on this episode.

IN THIS EPISODE: Many more people have thought about becoming vegan than you might think. The reason is that there’s something inside each of us that knows that eating plant-based is much more sustainable and healthy than eating animal-based. On this episode, I’m chatting with a wonderful person who is one of the leading voices in the vegan lifestyle community, Victoria Moran.
Victoria Moran has been sharing her story for many years about how she became vegan after discovering her own food addiction. It was that pivotal moment that inspired her once and for all to pursue a healthier life, which did include her transition to a vegan way of eating and living.
On this episode, Victoria Moran and I talk about many, many important issues that the vegan lifestyle touches on. From the health impact of becoming vegan to the environmental and animal rights issues, you’ll find Victoria not only a zealous advocate of the vegan way of life but also a voice of reason and sanity in the conversation.
If you are considering becoming vegan I encourage you to hear Victoria’s story and the reasons behind her passionate advocacy for the vegan lifestyle. She’s a person who looks at it not only from the standpoint of the data but also from a common sense and compassionate stance. She’s a truly amazing person who is an inspiration in so many ways.
At the end of this episode, I asked my guest, Victoria Moran for 3 simple steps a person could take if they are considering becoming vegan and she gave some of the most practical and simple advice I’ve heard on the subject. I think it’s doable for anyone, even you, so please take the time to listen.

TODAY’S GUEST: Rev. Olivia Bareham, founder of Sacred Crossings is a certified Death Midwife, Home Funeral Guide and Celebrant. She holds bachelor's degrees in Education and Natural Theology and Sacred Healing and is an ordained Inter-faith Minister. Olivia’s experience as an auxiliary nurse, hospice volunteer and her mother’s end-of-life caregiver, inspired her to investigate more meaningful and personal alternatives to traditional funeral practices.
“At the event of death and for a few days following, there is a window of opportunity for great healing to occur. When the funeral home took my mother’s body away just hours after her death, I felt this window close. We were left feeling helpless, unsure and wishing that we had had a little more time.”
In an effort to provide a way to keep this window open and facilitate the healing process, Olivia immersed herself in the study of death and dying culminating in certification as a Death Midwife and Home Funeral Guide. She subsequently created Sacred Crossings with the mission of empowering and guiding families to reclaim the ‘Lost art and healing ritual of a Home Funeral’. Over the next ten years the demand for information about conscious dying, after-death care and home funerals increased:
“When I was called bedside to help an individual make their transition, they were often remorseful about unresolved relationships, or fearful of what was going to happen, or stressed about their suffering. It seemed that transitioning would be a gentler, less stressful process if people learned how to prepare ahead of time. Also, when a loved-one died, families were often completely unprepared. They were unaware of their options for after-death care and the complex funeral industry made them feel helpless, vulnerable and afraid. It became clear there was a huge need for death education so I began teaching classes and workshops on The Art of Dying, After-death Care and Home Funerals.”
Olivia is a writer, producer and public speaker. She is an active member of the National Home Funeral Alliance,and past President of the board for The Los Angeles Hospice at Anam Cara in Topanga Canyon. Sacred Crossings is a Los Angeles-based company offering education, support and guidance for conscious dying and home funerals. Sacred Crossing Guides assist families with end-of-life planning; death midwifery; creating a vigil and funeral at home and cremation or burial arrangements. Their education institute offers workshops and classes and a certificate program in The Art of Death Midwifery. Students are both professional and non-professional end-of-life caregivers and those wishing to delve deeper into the dying process to further their spiritual growth. Graduates of the death midwifery program are eligible to serve as Sacred Crossing Guides. The Sacred Crossings Funeral Home is coming soon & will offer a full range of services including cremation, burial, funerals and memorials. Sacred Crossings is a non-denominational service without cultural or religious discrimination. While it is best to begin funeral planning in advance, we can help a family at any time.

IN THIS EPISODE: It may sound strange to you to think about having a death midwife, but it really makes sense when you think about it. We hire a midwife to come in at the birth of a child - the entrance into this life. Why wouldn’t it be appropriate to hire a midwife for death, the departure from this life? My guest today IS a death midwife and is training others with the skills to fill this important role in helping those who are dying and their families deal with the fact of death in a more healthy and positive way.
Death is one of those transitions in life that is so strange and uncomfortable that people don’t like to talk about it. But that’s only because we’ve been taught to be uncomfortable about it. In many cultures, there are family rituals centered around the death of a loved one that actually help with closure and healing over the 3 days following the death.
A death midwife’s role is to come into a family situation and help those struggling with the death process to learn, grow, and come to accept the inevitable fact of death for all of us. It’s a healthy process of listening, asking questions, and learning as everyone learns how to say goodbye in a healthy way that benefits the one dying as well as those who survive them.
What is YOUR biggest fear about dying? Is it the pain? In this conversation Olivia and I chat about how the pain is not such a fearful thing and why it’s not the best thing for people to be over medicated to the point that they can’t interact with their family or friends during the last days of their lives. It robs everyone of a very important part of the death transition that could make the experience more positive for everyone.
If you are curious about end of life issues and the role that a death midwife might be able to play in your family or future, I encourage you to listen to this conversation. I learned a lot myself about the positive role a death midwife can play in an otherwise uncomfortable and difficult situation. I hope you find something in Olivia’s stories and experiences that will bring you hope and help as you deal with death in your own life.

So this week I’m doing a meSPEAKS episode, where it’s just me giving you some tips about what you can do to prepare yourself for the cold and flu season. I want you to be well, to live life, and to be free of the illnesses that plague so many people this time of year. So get something you can write with and take good notes. I’ve got a lot of common sense and easy approaches to share with you after all the years of helping patients treat & prevent their winter illnesses with natural methods including homeopathy, diet, herbs, supplements & other lifestyle tips.
IN THIS EPISODE: I believe that it’s entirely possible to prevent flu and cold from taking over your life during the winter time, and you do it by using natural methods, not by getting medicines from the drugstore or from your doctor. Before the heavy flu season sets in across the country, I wanted to do this episode to share my experience with you about what you can do to prevent flu, cold, and other seasonal maladies so you can live to the fullest this winter. But if you do succumb to the flu, cold or other seasonal illness, then I also want to teach you how to treat it naturally.
When you’re trying to prevent flu and cold from overtaking you it’s important that you keep things like stress, busy-ness, and diet in mind. You can’t expect to beat the onset of flu if your lifestyle is antithetical to health in the first place. On this episode, I do cover some homeopathic remedies you can use to stave off the flu but first I address lifestyle issues that can make you stronger in the first place so that flu and cold won’t get a foothold in your body.
One of the main things you need to understand when battling flu is that the fever is by and large, your friend. You don’t want to suppress the fever unless it gets too high. What’s too high? I’m personally comfortable letting a fever as high as 104 degrees run its course. But I’d never tell you to let it go if it makes you fearful or uncomfortable. But I think you should hear why I say that 104 is not too high and then make up your own mind. So listen to this episode to hear why I’ve come to that conclusion.
Can you keep from getting sick when someone in your home is battling flu or a cold? I believe you can. In fact, I’ve done it for years even though I’m around sick people all the time as a homeopath. If you will take the time to listen to this episode and apply the things you learn I’m certain you’ll fight off the flu and cold that is so prevalent this time of year and live a healthier life overall as a result.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [1:58] My introduction to this episode about how you can prevent flu, cold, and other illnesses. * [5:37] The difference between the flu and a cold, and why antibiotics don’t help. * [8:37] Why you should NEVER treat a fever with aspirin or other pain killers. * [13:30] The reason a fever is a GOOD sign in most cases. * [15:05] What you SHOULD do for flu or cold symptoms: Homeopathic remedies. * [19:09] The importance of REST when battling a cold or flu. * [20:58] Why sweating can help you beat a cold or flu, and ways you can do it better! * [22:27] Using various baths with Epsom Salts. * [24:45] Yes, you can use essential oils to treat your flu and cold symptoms. * [29:09] Drinking water is POWERFUL way to treat your fever, flu, and cold. * [30:13] The foods you should eat when fighting flu and cold. * [32:57] Supplements to help you when you are getting sick. * [35:33] Moving out of the contagious stage: what to use to treat yourself. * [36:44] When you should be seriously concerned about a cold or flu. * [44:11] How to prevent flu and cold in yourself when family members are sick. * [51:04] Why it’s vital to eat organic as you’re getting over a flu or cold.

IN THIS EPISODE: The health insurance industry is a corrupt and money-hungry racket. There, I said it - and I’m glad that I did because somebody has to tell the truth about how we’re all being taken advantage of by corporations and by the law of the land. But there’s an option available now that enables you to get the preventative care you need instead of paying to wait for a health disaster. I want to introduce you to Greensurance on this episode - a health care coop that I really believe in.
My guest today is Kari Gray, the CEO of Greensurance, a healthcare alternative that is interested in helping you take care of yourself so you don’t require major healthcare coverage but will also be there for you if you do develop a serious condition or experience an accident of some kind. I hope you’ll take the time to listen to this conversation I had with Kari. She’s got an amazing idea that’s going to sweep the world by storm.
Why should you pay a monthly premium for the “just in case” incidents and major expenses when what you should be doing is keeping yourself healthy to begin with through alternative medicines or treatments? Kari Gray and the Greensurance team don’t believe you should, and are doing everything they can to make it possible for you to be healthy so you don’t NEED major medical coverage. Find out more about this Obamacare-legal alternative - Greensurance, on this episode.
Most health care insurance isn’t health care, it’s sick-care. It’s something you only need if you’re sick. But does that mean you get rewarded if you don’t get sick? No way. You have to pay the outlandish premiums anyway. There’s got to be a better way. And there is, but it will only have the ability to help us if we band together and make it possible. You’ve got support the change you want to see, and Greensurance is one amazing way we can all do that in the healthcare field. Listen to find out more.
Many people feel that Doctors or healthcare practitioners are crooks because their prices are so high. But the reality is that many of them are genuine people who care for their patients but the grip and leverage the insurance companies have on them requires the high prices they have to charge. What if medical practitioners were able to get paid what they earn and received it in a timely way? That would transform the cost equation of the healthcare industry. Greensurance has an amazing alternative to traditional health care insurance that changes all of that. Find out more on this episode.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [2:00] My introduction to this how about a great health insurance alternative. * [3:07] Why current health insurance programs should really be called “sick insurance.” * [8:50] Who is Kari Gray and what is Greensurance? * [11:34] How Kari cured her own cancer through alternative medicine treatments. * [20:00] The path toward creating Greensurance. * [22:45] How the Greensurance alternative works. * [24:48] What is an HSA (health savings account)? * [26:30] Is it helpful to keep a HSA set up when using Greensurance? * [33:08] How Greensurance deals with medical tourism. * [35:38] Immediate benefits with no preexisting conditions. * [37:42] The benefit of natural medicine in the coop. * [39:00] Maximum out of pocket issues - a better alternative. * [45:33] How the cooper negotiates prices for services rendered. * [51:31] Is Greensurance supplemental or a replacement for typical health insurance. * [55:15] Why Greensurance members are free to use any healthcare provider they like. * [58:15] The fear that causes people to hold back from going first. * [1:02:17] The way practitioners can be paid even faster. * [1:05:45] Is there any kind of preapproval for treatments? * [1:10:37} Are dental or vision covered under Greensurance? * [1:14:06] The fee structure of the program (see below). * [1:19:45] The top 3 reasons to consider Greensurance.

IN THIS EPISODE: There is so much controversy in the news these days about cannabis. But raw cannabis is something you don’t hear mentioned very often. But it’s one of the most powerful and easy to administer substances that can bring true healing to a wide variety of conditions and diseases. My guest on this episode has spent the last 4 years going in depth on the properties and healing power of raw cannabis and shares them with us freely.
Oleg Nagaytsev started his experimentation with cannabis in the traditional marijuana form many years ago but quickly discovered that it wasn’t the high that was most important about this age old medicine. Its ability to heal everything from cancer to ADHD to dementia is what he’s discovered and he’s eager to let the world know how effectively this plant can heal.
One of the problems with cannabis is that it’s not legal everywhere. States like Washington, Colorado, and Florida have made the growing and possession of cannabis legal but the laws in other states are only looking at it as a drug, not as a medicine, and there’s a huge difference. What I like about what my guest on this episode is doing is that he’s taking the raw form of cannabis and making it into tinctures that heal without the high, and that matters a lot.
You don’t have to worry about getting high from using raw cannabis to treat your ailments because the psychotropic effects of cannabis are only activated as the plant is heated or dried. But crush it up and use it in a smoothie, or better yet use it in a tincture that is administered anally or vaginally and you’ll get an even more potent and powerful treatment for what ails you.
My guest today is incredibly knowledgable about the use of cannabis in its raw form and is eager to let others know how effectively it can be used to heal a wide variety of diseases that big pharma can’t even touch. He’s not trying to make a lot of money from his products, he’s just trying to let people know that they can take control of their health and heal themselves, without the high that so many people are afraid of. I hope you take the time to listen to this episode of Vidal Speaks to learn how raw cannabis can help you and the people you love.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [2:00] My introduction to this episode. * [5:50] Vocabulary we all need to know for this episode. * [11:22] Why the cannabis available in the past was vastly inferior. * [14:50] What is cannabis? What are the basics you need to know? * [22:39] Why is raw cannabis not so well known and how Oleg got into cannabis experimentation? * [30:17] The conditions Oleg has seen raw cannabis successfully treat. * [42 :11] How Oleg uses DSMO as a carrier for the raw cannabis. * [46:24] Why there is no concern of overdosing on raw cannabis. * [47:30] Will raw cannabis become legal all over eventually? * [56:47] Will raw cannabis show up in drug tests? * [101:43] How you can connect with Oleg.
TODAY’S GUEST: I was born on August 26, 1951. According to my astrological chart, “peace and harmony are my battle cry.” (Talk about a perfect set-up for contradictions.) Apparently I am also “flashy but not gaudy and prefer to dress elegantly.” Obviously, my sartorial preferences reflect my greater spiritual depth. I have been, in no particular order, a NY City cab driver, scrap metal hauler, dishwasher, census taker, mail boy, ditch digger, bouncer, illegal narcotics distributor, general contractor, actor, and radio announcer, and carpenter. I am also an avid reader, seeker of God, weight gain/weight loss aficionado, ex-pot smoker, alcoholic, junkie, speed freak, raw foodist, vegan, lover, hater, father, husband, grad student, good guy, bad guy, social activist.
I received my high school diploma when I was 51. I would have done it when I was younger but I was busy. Early in this century I was admitted to UCSB where I earned a BA in History. I then entered an MA program in the Humanities Department at San Francisco State University to sate a lifelong fascination in the subject. I’m particularly intrigued by the migration of cultures, peoples, and souls.
As the subject of the documentary MAY I BE FRANK?, I have become a spokesperson for personal transformation and weight loss. My experience dealing with these struggles from a holistic perspective compels me to speak about the power of transformation that rests in all of us. I am not an expert nor do I have the answer. I have witnessed the indisputable fact that we are all connected. What we do can and will make a difference.
I have learned that the three most important things a man can say are: I don’t know.Would you please help me? I love you."
HUNGRY FOR CHANGE exposes shocking secrets the diet, weight loss and food industry don't want you to know about; deceptive strategies designed to keep you coming back for more. Find out what's keeping you from having the body and health you deserve and how to escape the diet trap forever.
In spite of the anxiety and uncertainty, I am so grateful to be alive and to participate in this adventure. I get to do my dream job. I travel and emotionally connect with people. The Beatles were right, ‘ ‘and in the end. The love you take is equal to the love you make.’ I plan to make as much as possible.

IN THIS EPISODE: We all know that taking personal responsibility for your own issues and moving toward healing from the pain can be a hard thing to do. None of us come by that kind of courage naturally because the pain and fear hold us back. Normal is often more comfortable than the difficult path toward healing. But my guest today has a story that is a wonderful example of what can happen when you do take personal responsibility for your healing and walk the path to get there. I want you to meet Frank Ferrante, an inspirational author and speaker, on this episode of Vidal Speaks.
Frank grew up in a very hostile, unhealthy environment. Those are his own words. It was the difficulty of those formative years that drove him to seek solace in all kinds of things that were not good for him, from hard drugs to overeating. But Frank has come to see that though he’s still got significant pain from things done wrong to him, there’s nobody responsible for changing the effect of those things except himself. I hope you’ll listen to Frank Ferrante’s story. It’s not only inspiring, it’s powerfully motivating for anyone who’s struggling with addiction or obesity.
You wouldn’t expect a guy who was in Frank Ferrante’s shoes to be the one to step beyond the pain and suffering he’d experienced to become an example for others to follow. His own wounds went so deep and his obesity and poor self-image were such debilitating problems, he was the last guy you’d consider for that kind of role. But an encounter with some young people who dared to love and encourage him made all the difference. When you hear the impact these simple gestures of friendship made in Frank’s life you’ll be able to see that your words and love toward others could make a powerful difference as well.
It’s never easy to deal with the pain of abuse and addiction. But there comes a point in every life where the pain becomes unacceptable and you have to do something about it. Frank Ferrante’s story of overcoming those kinds of wounds is powerful because he wasn’t even in a place to want that kind of healing when someone challenged him, through love, to take personal responsibility for himself and make positive changes. I hope you take the time to get to know Frank as he shares his story on this episode. He’s got lots of heart and compassion and could be the one person who can speak to you right where you are.
Life isn’t a linear process. That’s one of the things my guest on this episode, Frank Ferrante shares about how his progress and setbacks have contributed to making him who he is today. He’s not one of those guru’s who only lets you see the polished side of his life. In fact, he's not a guru at all.

IN THIS EPISODE: I’m eager to bring you the important information about climate change that is in this second half of my conversation with Dr. Reese Halter. His work is so important because it tells the real story behind the destruction of our environment, but more importantly, he tells us specific ways that each of us as individuals can help turn things around.
The devastation that we human beings have caused and continue to cause to our planet is inexcusable now that we’re able to see the effects our actions are having. The outrageous thing is that even with the knowledge we have huge companies that make pesticides and other harmful chemicals continue to do the things that are destroying our planet. On this episode, you’re going to learn about the damage these things are causing and why it’s endangering our own survival.
The climate change that we’re seeing is caused by the things we’re doing to live an easier life as human beings - but we’re doing so oblivious to the many other species of plants, animals, and insects that share the earth with us. It's that oversight that is killing us. Dr. Reese Halter shares the results of his years of study into these issues on this episode of the podcast and I encourage you to hear the truth he has to share with an open mind.
When the damage to our planet from our own actions is as massive as it is, it’s easy to feel that you can’t do anything to turn back the tide. But that’s simply not true. Every little thing you or I are able to do will make a difference. And when enough of us do those little things, BIG changes can happen in a relatively short amount of time.
Find out how you can join with me, Dr. Reese Halter, and thousands of others to turn back the effects of climate change on our planet through simple, everyday decisions that will stop the abuse and begin the healing. It’s all on this episode of the Vidal Speaks podcast so please - PLEASE take the time to learn about these important issues.

TODAY’S GUEST: Dr. Hillary Smith has maintained an Integrative Wellness and Chiropractic practice in the Los Angeles area since 1985. In 2006, she incorporated Advanced Medical Thermography-The Breast Thermography Center into her office. Because of her dedication and excellence in the field, Dr. Smith was chosen to train for and receive the highest Clinical Thermographer certification. She personally trained with Dr. Peter Leando, an international leader in thermal imaging.
While researching options for her own pro-active health, Dr. Smith became interested in Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) or Thermography.
Further study lead her to the realization that DITI is an amazing and underutilized screening tool that could help people detect very early changes in their physiology and be used to track the efficacy of their treatment choices.
In 2006, Dr. Smith decided that educating the public about Thermography and offering a superior service was where all the roads she had traveled led to. She went to North Carolina to receive her training on the campus of Duke Medical Center through the auspices of the American College of Clinical Thermography.
Dr. Smith graduated Cum Laude from the Southern California University of Health Sciences where she earned a B.S. in Biology and a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree in 1984. She received a Doctorate of Homeopathic Medicine from The Hahnemann College of Homeopathy in 1992.
In 2005, Dr. Hillary Smith received certification in First Line Therapy, a lifestyle change program that addresses many chronic health issues and is a Certified Health Coach.
With a focus on Clinical Nutrition, she has attended numerous hours of post graduate education, including the 100 hour course of Applied Kinesiology. Continuing the study of homeopathy, Dr. Smith has attended many seminars with internationally renowned Homeopaths, including a yearlong Master Clinician Course with world class Homeopath Louis Klein.
Dr. Smith became interested in mind/body therapies during the early years of her practice, doing advanced training in several techniques, and incorporating them her practice.
In 2013, she changed the focus of the integrative chiropractic practice to specialize in Thermography and Wellness coaching.
Hillary was born in Los Angeles and received her education locally.
She continues to study the applications of Thermal Imaging and Breast Health, and enjoys speaking engagements to educate the public about the power of early detection and proactive health. Her mission is to empower women with knowledge, truth, self acceptance and peace of mind.

IN THIS EPISODE: What have you heard about breast thermography? Probably not enough. It’s one of the things I’m most excited about when it comes to the prevention of the terrible disease of breast cancer simply because it enables you to diagnose a potential problem years before other methods will ven be able to detect an issue, and by then it could already be too late.
Breast thermography is a non-invasive technique that does NOT bombard your body with any kind of harmful radiation or chemical to do its work. It is a high resolution camera that detects the heat signature of your body’s parts and organs and highly trained technicians are able to read the picture to determine if you have any foreign masses growing in your body.
With the existence of breast thermography I don’t see any reason women should continue having mammograms done. Not only are they unneeded, they are also being show more and more to actually cause harm to women while they are doing the work of diagnosing. What kind of sense is that? I can’t see any which is why I am suggesting thermography to all my clients.
Or maybe you didn’t realize that. Mammograms are the process of running radiation through the breast in order to take a “picture” what what exists in the breast in terms of masses, cysts, etc. But the saddest part of the mammogram scheme is that the only thing proven to cause breast cancer is radiation. It’s silly. Women are encouraged to have regular mammograms which are very likely the very cause of the cancer they are trying to detect. It’s ridiculous.
I hope you take the time to listen to this conversation with Dr. Hillary Smith, my friend and licensed Thermologist. She’s got a load of great insights to share with you about how the practice of thermography could help you detect breast health problems long before they become problems. This one screening could do more to put you in charge of your health than any other medical procedure I know of.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [1:58] My introduction to this episode about thermography. * [5:10] The risks of getting breast cancer from your mammograms. * [9:07] My dedication of this episode to Ellen and Eileen. * [10:34] Who is Dr. Hillary Smith? * [12:50] How Hillary got into the realm of using thermography to detect breast cancer. * [18:44] What is breast thermography? * [21:50] The kinds of things to look for when doing thermography. * [23:30] How does a thermography session work? * [27:30] Why a number of thermography appointments are needed. * [29:10] How can breast thermography be used when you already have a lump? * [31:05] Why there’s nobody who can’t have a thermography. * [39:22] What you should do if thermography reveals something could be wrong? * [45:04] The margins of error in using thermography. * [48:10] How thermography can detect possible issues so much earlier than other methods. * [52:30] The pressure from the medical community to have mammograms. * [57:40] The growing number of medical docs who are supporting thermography. * [1:03:05] Other body parts that can be examined using thermography. * [1:05:00] How you can connect with Dr. Smith. * [1:05:23] Did you know the pink ribbon breast cancer campaign is funded by a controversial pharmaceutical company?

IN THIS EPISODE: Personal transformation is not an easy thing to achieve and today’s guest shares the difficult path she had to walk to experience it herself. Rachel Adams was a successful Real Estate agent by all accounts, but her inner world was not in harmony with the persona she was putting on for others. Be sure to listen so you can hear what sparked the changes in Rachel that have transformed her.
On the VidalSpeaks podcast I often talk about the importance of living a healthy life and it all begins with what’s going on inside of you.

Today my guest shares how she learned to care for herself first and how it fueled her into a life that is nothing short of transformed. You won’t want to miss this conversation with Rachel Adams.
Most people would look at the life Rachel Adams was living and think that she had it all together. Many would be envious. But they wouldn’t have seen the things that were going on inside Rachel that made her sad, dissatisfied, and unhappy with who she’d become. On this episode Rachel shares the conversation that changed everything for her and what she had to do following to put into practice a better set of habits to move her life forward.
Have you been in Rachel’s shoes - in a place where you know that you’re not happy inside but aren’t sure that it’s really something you need to pay attention to? Maybe you need a caring person to come into your life who will push you to ask the hard questions, like Rachel did. But I also think if you listen to Rachel’s story you’ll be challenged by what happened to her and can get moving to a better place as a result.
Would you like to begin your own personal transformation journey like Rachel Adams did? You can begin by downloading the first 3 chapters of Rachel’s book absolutely free simply because you’re a listener to the VidalSpeaks podcast.

IN THIS EPISODE: After last week’s episode with Dr. Stephanie Seneff, I was more eager than ever to get the word out about the dangers of glyphosates. So we actually continued the conversation for this episode and you’ll get to hear a lot more of what she’s learned in her studies. She’s uncovering some amazing data that suggests that glyphosate poisoning is connected to Autism, Parkinson’s, ALS, and much more.
Glyphosate and autism connections are becoming more and more obvious as the research continues but you don’t hear about it because the companies that produce the chemicals that contain glyphosate are in the back pocket of powerful politicians. The same is true of the companies that supply many of the vaccines we routinely give our children - and you got it, those vaccines often contain glyphosates too.
It makes me angry when I realize how ignorant the public is to the dangers of glyphosate - but it’s not our fault. The truth has been kept from us because it’s not profitable. The use of this dangerous chemical has been going on for so long it’s hard to pull it in and make changes, so the powers that be just look the other way when research shows that it’s a problem.
What can you do to avoid the effects of glyphosate so it doesn’t contribute to autism, ALS, or Parkinson’s disease in your family? One of the most important things Dr. Seneff recommends is eating organic and whole foods as much as you can. That’s the only way you can avoid the pesticides that contain glyphosate. Eating organic won’t entirely prevent you from ingesting this harmful chemical, but it will take you a long way towards health.
If you want to undo the impact of glyphosate damage that may have already happened to your body the best place to start (besides eating organic) is to get your gut health in optimized. On this episode, Dr. Seneff and I talk a lot about what it takes to get your gut healthy and give some very practical recommendations for how to do it.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [1:58] My introduction to part two of my conversation with Dr. Stephanie Seneff. * [9:04] Additional ways we are exposed to Glyphosates (see last week’s episode for the first things mentioned). * [10:17] The main ways that people’s health is affected by Glysophates. * [12:19] How can you get glyphosate out of your body? * [18:00] The importance of making sure your supplements are pure. * [19:52] Why some feel that humans are naturally protected from glysophates. * [23:28] The link between Parkinson’s, ALS, and glyphosates. * [26:11] What is the Gut Brain Axis and how you can improve gut health. * [32:20] The connection between gut problems and Autism. * [36:12] Vaccines that contain glyphosates. * [40:47] Why does the public believe glyphosates are not dangerous? * [44:59] Why toxins are a sure contributor to Autism. * [46:07] Why do people believe they need to kill microbes and germs in everything? * [50:23] 3 important steps to rid yourself of glysophates. * [54:00] How the increased cost of buying organic will come back to you in savings.

A description of how glyphosate impacts the body from MIT PhD. scientist Stephanie Seneff: 1) Glyphosate is an antimicrobial agent (antibiotic) and it preferentially kills the good bacteria, which causes an overgrowth of pathogens in the gut. This leads to leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory issues.
2) Glyphosate chelates rare minerals like manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, copper, iron, sulfur, selenium, etc., and this disrupts the management of these very important nutrients throughout the body. The minerals end up piling up in the wrong places, causing both toxicity and deficiency at the same time.
3) Glyphosate disrupts cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver, which are important for many things, two of which are activating vitamin D and detoxifying multiple toxic chemicals and drugs. Acetaminophen (tylenol), for example, becomes toxic when these enzymes aren't working.
4) Glyphosate works synergistically with the aluminum, mercury, and glutamate in vaccines to cause much greater harm than would be the case if there were no glyphosate present in the blood when the vaccine was administered.
5) Glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway, which is used by both microbes and plants to produce the essential aromatic amino acids. Our own cells don't have this pathway, and they depend upon food sources and synthesis by gut microbes to supply these nutrients. They are precursors to many biologically important molecules such as the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, melanin, vitamin E, vitamin K, etc.
In my view, the core pathology in autism is insufficient sulfate in the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This causes a severe impairment in neurogenesis and an inability to "clear the trash." It's indirectly caused by sulfur deficiency, melatonin deficiency, impaired sulfate synthesis, impaired sulfate transport, and excess flushing of sulfate through the kidneys - all induced by glyphosate. There's also neuroexcitotoxicity from glutamate and glyphosate and aluminum working synergistically.

IN THIS EPISODE: I don’t like to be seen as a scare-monger by any means. There’s too much to be hopeful about in the world. But I do want to bring you the information that you need to know to safeguard your health and live your best life. That’s why I bring you shows like this one about the many ways glyphosate poisoning is impacting our society. Dr. Stephanie Seneff is my guest, and she’s the leading expert on the subject.
Do you know what a glyphosate is? It’s a synthetic amino acid that is a primary component of most pesticides. But that’s not all. It’s also added to vaccines and other things we ingest or put into our bodies. Until recently we didn’t know the impact it could have on us but great people like my guest on this episode, Dr. Stephanie Seneff have done the research to discover the many ways glyphosates poison our food and water supplies. I hope you listen so you can learn about this very serious problem.
When I was on the PGA tour as a professional golfer I was exposed to all kinds of chemicals on the golf courses due to the way they groom and keep up the course. I’ve spent years detoxifying myself from the glyphosate I was exposed to and I’m still not done. Because of that, you can understand why I was excited to have Dr. Stephanie Seneff on the show to educate us about this dangerous chemical and teach us what we can do to cleanse ourselves from it.
Glyphosates are in almost all food sources these days. Even if a farmer is organic in his practices the rainwater and groundwater he uses to water his crops will have at least trace amounts of the chemical in them. That’s just an example of how terribly we’ve polluted the planet with this destructive compound. But on this episode you can learn the best ways to protect yourself from glyphosates, so be sure you listen.
Infertility and Autism are being linked more and more to exposure to glyphosates. Dr. Stephanie Seneff has made the case for both quite strongly and on this episode she reveals why she believes that by 2023, 50% of children born will have autism - unless we do something to curb the damage glyphosates are having on our environment and food supplies. You can learn the truth about glyphosate poisoning, on this episode.

A description of how glyphosate impacts the body from MIT PhD. scientist Stephanie Seneff: 1) Glyphosate is an antimicrobial agent (antibiotic) and it preferentially kills the good bacteria, which causes an overgrowth of pathogens in the gut. This leads to leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory issues.
2) Glyphosate chelates rare minerals like manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, copper, iron, sulfur, selenium, etc., and this disrupts the management of these very important nutrients throughout the body. The minerals end up piling up in the wrong places, causing both toxicity and deficiency at the same time.
3) Glyphosate disrupts cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver, which are important for many things, two of which are activating vitamin D and detoxifying multiple toxic chemicals and drugs. Acetaminophen (tylenol), for example, becomes toxic when these enzymes aren't working.
4) Glyphosate works synergistically with the aluminum, mercury, and glutamate in vaccines to cause much greater harm than would be the case if there were no glyphosate present in the blood when the vaccine was administered.
5) Glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway, which is used by both microbes and plants to produce the essential aromatic amino acids. Our own cells don't have this pathway, and they depend upon food sources and synthesis by gut microbes to supply these nutrients. They are precursors to many biologically important molecules such as the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, melanin, vitamin E, vitamin K, etc.
In my view, the core pathology in autism is insufficient sulfate in the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This causes a severe impairment in neurogenesis and an inability to "clear the trash." It's indirectly caused by sulfur deficiency, melatonin deficiency, impaired sulfate synthesis, impaired sulfate transport, and excess flushing of sulfate through the kidneys - all induced by glyphosate. There's also neuroexcitotoxicity from glutamate and glyphosate and aluminum working synergistically.
TODAY’S GUEST: Dr. Andy Cutler has a PhD in chemistry from Princeton, a BS in physics from the University of California. He is a registered patent agent and a licensed professional chemical engineer. He knows firsthand what can happen when you get mercury poisoning. He’s experienced the devastating ‘mystery syndrome’ and had doctor after doctor scratch their head in puzzlement and send him away. After finding out that the mercury in his amalgam fillings was the source of his terrible illness he was able to read the medical literature and determine a chemically sensible procedure to get well. This pioneered the rational use of chelators for heavy metal toxicity. The results of his experience and research culminated in writing the book Amalgam Illness on how to cure mercury poisoning, and the Hair Test Interpretation book on how to use a painless and inexpensive test to check for the toxic effects of a wide variety of elements. He currently works as a detox consultant and continues writing books.

IN THIS EPISODE: After last week’s great episode (which was a great hit with listeners) I am so glad we have more time to hear from Dr. Andy Cutler about the issue of mercury poisoning. His expertise in this area is invaluable to anyone who is struggling with any kind of mystery illness. On this episode, we get into the symptoms of mercury poisoning, how you can remove it from your system through mercury chelation, and what to watch out for when it comes to treatment methods.
Do you suffer from a mystery illness? Are fatigue and disorientation a common experience for you? Dr. Andy Cutler has identified that many of those types of symptoms are in fact mercury poisoning. Where does mercury come from? Fillings are a huge culprit, but also many vaccinations. There are ways to tell if your symptoms are caused by mercury and Dr. Cutler walks us through those steps on this episode.
What can you do to get mercury out of your body? The main way is through detoxification, and chelation is one of the best methods for doing that. But you’ve got to do it according to the strict protocols Dr. Cutler has devised, and ONLY after all the mercury that you know about (like in your dental work) is removed completely. Find out how to do this important mercury removal through mercury chelation, on this episode.
Nobody who suffers from a chronic mystery condition should allow themselves to be satisfied with the guesses traditional physicians make about their symptoms. Dr. Cutler says that 9 out of 10 people who have a mystery illness likely have mercury poisoning as the root issue. You’ve got to listen to this episode to get the help you need. It could be the answer to your many years of questions and searching.
If you’d like to find out all the details about mercury chelation Dr. Cutler’s book is the best resource available. It gives clear, easy to follow steps to the chelation process and you can do it yourself with supplements you can purchase over the counter. Why not give it a try? The only thing you have to lose is your mystery illness. Find his book in the resources section of this podcast episode.

IN THIS EPISODE: Mercury poisoning is being talked about more and more these days. And it’s a good thing. For years mercury has been used as a preservative for vaccinations, in the amalgams used in dental work, and much more. At first, the problem was ignorance. We simply didn’t know the danger mercury could be to our health. But now the problem is much more insidious than that.
Today there are many cases that demonstrate the toxic effects mercury can have on the human body, but the authorities that have become invested in the use of mercury don’t want to admit that what they thought was safe, really isn’t. You can find out the truth from my expert guest, Dr. Andy Cutler, on this episode.
Dr. Andy Cutler began looking into the risks and problems associated with the use of mercury because of his own health problems related to its use. It’s his diligent study that has enabled us, in large part, to know the truth about the risks associated with mercury use. If you want to hear an expert in the field, Dr. Cutler is the one you need to listen to.
In talking about the dangers of mercury poisoning on this episode, there’s no conspiracy or agenda against vaccines or dental work, just a concern for the health of people all over the globe. The evidence speaks for itself. Nobody is making this stuff up. Listen to this episode to get the entire truth on how mercury is poisoning adults and children alike.
If you have a mystery illness of some kind that nobody seems able to figure out you should consider the possibility that you’ve been poisoned by mercury somewhere along the line. Dr. Andy Cutler has developed treatment protocols to help you rid your body of mercury, so you should take the time to hear what he’s got to say on this episode.

TODAY’S GUEST: A cure for cancer is not a pipe dream. It’s a reality, and it comes in the form of many different alternative treatments.
As a young adult caring for both of her ill parents, Valerie Warwick realized her natural ability as a nurse, and her interest in the healing arts grew. Valerie graduated with her nursing degree in 1997. Her nursing career led her into Oncology where she spent 17 years in direct patient care, in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. During that time Valerie obtained her certification as an Oncology Nurse Specialist and developed a strong clinical background in all aspects of patient care.
In 2009 Valerie's focus began to change after experiencing her own health challenges. Using whole food nutrition, and the principles and practices of Functional and Orthomolecular Medicine, Valerie realized a profound change in her own health as she incorporated these practices into her own life. She realized that allopathic medicine perpetuated a shift in metabolism, and in the way the body was able to utilize the basics of water, oxygen and nutrients. It was a profound awakening and it completely changed her paradigm. She realized that treating illness by suppressing symptoms and the body's immune system never brought healing to anyone. Valerie realized that toxins and micronutrient deficiencies are the most widespread and dangerous health condition of the 21st century and that true healing can only come by removing the burden of toxins, followed by restoring the immune system through nutrients, real - nutrient dense food, water, oxygen, sunlight, movement, spiritual awareness and the joy of healthy loving relationships.
Valerie's desire is to help others rediscover and restore their health and vitality by supporting the body's own ability to heal itself given the right environment. Valerie’s passion and life's purpose is to help in this regard.

IN THIS EPISODE: We often hear people talk about how great it would be if a cure for cancer could be discovered. Some of the saddest news in all the world is that many cures for cancer already exist but the established medical community won’t accept them or tell the public about them. Why? It isn’t to their benefit to do so.
My guest today is Valerie Warwick, a retired oncology nurse who left her chosen profession because she saw how traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy not only didn’t work, they made the patients treated by them worse. She left oncology to start her own health coaching practice aimed specifically at cancer patients.
One of the most important things Valerie is able to give her clients is the knowledge that there are ways to test their blood to discover not only if they have cancer (long before other detection methods will discover it), but also what kind of cancer it is, where it is in their body, and how to treat it with alternative methods. I bet you didn’t know tests with that kind of specificity even existed. But they do. Find out how Valerie uses them to save people’s lives, in this conversation.
Once you know that you have cancer, what can you do not just to stave it off, but to cure it? Valerie Warwick talks with me on this episode of the podcast about the many varieties of treatment and how they have been shown to have tremendous results in curing cancer. If you want to get outside the box of the cancer treatment industry to find something that can really help you, this episode is the perfect place to start.
In this episode, we discuss a number of alternative treatments for curing cancer. That includes detox, diet changes, ozone and oxygen treatments, chelation, intravenous treatments including Vitamin C, and a handful of machines that treat cancer in specific ways. You will hear so many alternatives to the typical chemo-poisoning routine that you’ll finish this episode with the hope that your cancer can actually be cured. And you’ll have a great, trusted resource in Valerie to turn to if you need help finding the right treatment for you or your loved one.
Outline Of This Great Episode * [1:59] Deborah’s introduction to this episode about alternative treatments for cancer. * [4:46] How western medicine treats cancer VS alternative methods. * [7:26] How testing can determine exactly what YOUR body needs. * [13:00] The role of heavy metal testing in detection of cancer. * [15:35] Facing the fear of finding out about your cancer risk. * [18:45] Looking at alternative treatments for a positive diagnosis. * [23:51] Why meat and dairy are not the best diet options. * [29:48] The use of ozone and oxygen to treat cancer. * [36:00] Vitamin C therapy as a cancer treatment. * [40:37] Various machines used for alternative treatments. * [49:30] The experience Valerie had switching to her own business. * [55:47] How you can connect with Valerie. * [57:42] The emotional aspects of healing.

The 12 questions you should ask your Doctor about chemotherapy:
If you’re considering chemotherapy, here are 12 very important questions to ask your oncologist BEFORE you schedule any chemo treatments. The purpose of this list is to empower you to take charge of your cancer. No one is more interested in saving your life than you are, and this list will help you in making smart clinical decisions.
- What is the goal of the chemo for my cancer? Is this a cure? Doctors rarely use the word “cure.” Instead they say things like “remission” or discuss 5 and 10-year survival rates. Be clear on the expectations of a treatment plan.
- What are the chances that the chemotherapy treatment will work for me, for my cancer? Again, know what goal you are looking to reach: a cure, tumor reduction, or removal of symptoms. Ask: “After the chemo will I be cured, in remission, or do you anticipate I will need further treatment?”
- What chemo-sensitivity testing will you do to determine which chemotherapy agent to use? Despite the protestations of most oncologists, there is no one right treatment for any cancer. All the while, patients are given drugs that do not have the capacity to work for that particular person, often leading to failure and unnecessary suffering. Medical oncologists are increasingly encouraged to adhere to the standards defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, regardless if the treatments even work or will work for the individual seeking treatment. These guidelines offer recommendations for treatments by diagnosis, based on the response for the “average” patient. But cancer patients are anything but average, and there are no average outcomes. Each cancer patient and each cancer has its own unique characteristics. Sensitivity testing takes some of the guesswork out of the equation by using specialized lab tests to predict how well a particular chemotherapy will work.
- What is your opinion on taking supplements during treatment? While most supplements are completely safe to take during treatment and can actually boost the efficacy of treatment, many allopathic (conventional) doctors have not been trained in this subject.
- What are my other options if I decline treatment? You are asking this to uncover the doctor’s knowledge of available alternative therapies.
- What lifestyle changes will I need to make to improve the outcome of the treatment and protect my body during treatments?
- How will you nourish and protect my healthy cells while you’re killing my cancer cells? Also ask how they recommend you detox from the chemotherapy treatment afterwards.
- What will your proposed chemotherapy treatment do to my cancer stem cells?
- How will you support my immune system during treatment?
- What will you do if I become resistant to chemo treatment?
- How will this treatment change the cancer environment? Ask if it will only kill the cancer that is there and leave you vulnerable to more cancer? Oncologists don’t always share that once the immune system is depressed, the cancer stem cells can go on to create more cancer.
- Would you give this same chemotherapy treatment to your spouse or children, and if not, what would you give them? Would you take it yourself?

IN THIS EPISODE: Many Oncologists in the United States are lying about cancer treatments. Others are simply ignorant that there are other options available that are effective and non-toxic to the body. But you wouldn’t know that if you only listen to the medical “experts” who are on T.V. all the time.
On this episode of VidalSPEAKS, I’m chatting with my guest, Valerie Warwick. She’s a registered oncology nurse who has made the switch to the alternative treatment side of things because she’s seen the abuses and mistreatment of cancer patients and knew there had to be a better way.
Today’s episode sheds an incredible light on the cancer industry in ways the pharmaceutical companies and researchers don’t want, because it will show how the standard treatments for cancer simply don’t work. In fact, they make patients worse in almost every case.
Please take the time to listen to what my guest, Valerie Warwick has to share about why the typical treatments for cancer are actually lies foisted on suffering people for the sake of money and power. You’ll be shocked and helped - because she’s got lots of great suggestions for how you can take control of your health, even if you have a cancer diagnosis.
If you or a loved one are fighting the battle against cancer you owe it to yourself to listen to the insights that Valerie Warwick has to share. After many years as a traditional oncology nurse, she’s now serving patients as a cancer coach and leading them into effective, natural treatments for their cancer - and saving many lives.

TODAY’S GUEST: Greg Caton worked extensively in "designer foods," as well as alternative medicine and nutrition products since 1981. He graduated from L.A. Valley College ('75); am a U.S. Navy veteran ('75-'78), and is the author of 4 books, Lumen: Food for a New Age (1986, an interdisciplinary work on vegetarianism and the role of meat analogs, with over 45,000 copies in print); MLM Fraud (1991, on corruption in the multi-level marketing industry and the tools to identify the work of its perpetrators -- since banned in the U.S.); Meditopia® (2004-2012: an ongoing project and free online read); and The Gospel of 2012 According to Ayahuasca (another free online read).
In 1984 he founded Consumer Express, which later became Nutrition for Life International (briefly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange as "NFLI"). Later I founded Lumen Foods (1986), and its internet site (soybean.com, 1995), which currently manufactures the best-selling vegetarian "meat" snack on the North American continent, Stonewall's Jerquee.
In 1995 he created Alpha Omega Labs (herbhealers.com / altcancer.com), which became a provider of over 300 alternative health products with 14 distributors around the world, before its closure by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in September, 2003.
It successfully re-opened in Ecuador in June, 2008.
Alpha Omega Labs is best known for Cansema® -- an effective cure for skin cancer, based on suppressed formulary information dating back to the 1850's. Over a 20-year period, Alpha Omega Labs has been responsible for curing thousands of cancer cases. The corruption surrounding the circumstances of its closure (from 2003 to 2008) is one of the topics in the free book called Meditopia®.

IN THIS EPISODE: If you took the time to listen to last week’s episode - and if you didn’t you can always go back and do that - you heard the amazing story of how Greg Caton was pursued and finally imprisoned by the American government because of the threat his herbal remedies became to the prescription drug industry. For many types of cancer, Greg has already found the cure and he’s got story after story to prove it. You can hear a handful of those stories on this episode of the show.
Once Greg was able to get out of prison he moved his family to South America and learned more about the herbal remedies and medicines that could cure cancer - and he learned how to make them available without interference or disruption from the U.S. government. Greg shares many of the things he’s learned, on this episode, including particular remedies for specific types of cancer.
A cure for cancer is truly within our grasp, at least for certain types of cancer. Greg Caton has found great success treating many skin cancers, prostate, and ovarian cancer, and others using the herbal medicines he has been taught about while living in South America. During our conversation, Greg and I talk about the use of one of his remedies, “Dragon’s Blood,” at length. I was excited to discover all the conditions it could be used to treat.
On this episode, Greg Caton and I also discuss the importance of cleansing routines and the benefits they can bring. He discusses many of the ways he’s gone about cleansing and the herbal tonics he uses to get the greatest effect. If you are in need of detoxification or a bowel cleanse of any kind, this conversation should provide some additional options for you to consider.
Before any of you listeners find yourself in a place where you need a cure for cancer it would be a good idea to do some preventative treatments. Greg Caton shares some of the detox routines he has prescribed for the prevention of cancer, on this episode, and finishes up the conversation with 3 of the most important things that anybody can do to improve their quality of life. I encourage you to listen to this episode, take notes, and get in touch with Greg to get some of his remedies.

In 1995 he created Alpha Omega Labs (herbhealers.com / altcancer.com), which became a provider of over 300 alternative health products with 14 distributors around the world, before its closure by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in September, 2003.
It successfully re-opened in Ecuador in June, 2008.
Alpha Omega Labs is best known for Cansema® -- an effective cure for skin cancer, based on suppressed formulary information dating back to the 1850's. Over a 20-year period, Alpha Omega Labs has been responsible for curing thousands of cancer cases. The corruption surrounding the circumstances of its closure (from 2003 to 2008) is one of the topics in the free book called Meditopia®.

IN THIS EPISODE: Natural remedies are not as complicated as you think and on this episode - I’m calling it a “MeSpeak” episode because it’s just me - I’m going to be sharing some homeopathic remedies with you for shock and injury. I usually like to address issues individually but shock and injury are so frequently dealt with together I thought that it was appropriate and would be more helpful to address them at the same time.
If you apply the natural remedies I give you in this episode in cases where someone has experienced a significant shock or an injury, you’ll be doing them a favor and learning how powerful homeopathic remedies can be for these situations. I want you to be empowered to take charge of your health and to be a help to others when situations like this arise. If you are, everyone will benefit.
When you’re dealing with a situation that involves shock, there are three main homeopathic remedies that I would recommend. They are aconite, opium, and gelsemium. All three are very helpful in the treatment of a wide variety of shock conditions and in this episode I’m walking you through each of them so that you can be equipped to deal with emergency situations involving shock.
But you also need to understand how situations involving shock are often related to the pain or trauma of an injury. That’s why I’m also including in this episode some of the natural ways you can address injury and the pain that often comes with it. Toward that end, you’ll hear about Arnica, Hypericum, and Nat-Sulph.
With each of the remedies I describe on this episode I give you situations and stories where I have seen each work - and I describe the kinds of situations where each one of these natural approaches can be used. You will end the episode with a greater knowledge of how you can bring about significant healing in yourself and others by using entirely natural means. I hope you enjoy and apply what you learn.

IN THIS EPISODE: It only makes sense to use home remedies for dogs and other pets since you know that they do a great job treating your own illnesses. Animals are not all that different from us - and the main thing is that their bodies respond better to natural approaches just like ours do. On this episode of the podcast I’ve asked Julie Mann to help me unpack the things you can do to help your animals live a healthier life.
You’re going to be amazed at some of the stories Julie Mann has to tell about how her homeopathic approach to animal care has turned around serious health conditions for many pets. This episode is not only full of miracle stories but also highlights some very specific treatments you can use for your animals to enable them to enjoy their time with you and live a long life.
Today’s guest is a wealth of knowledge and I asked her to share her top 3 home remedies for dogs and other pets so you can begin to gather the things you need to care for your pets when they have ailments or other conditions. You’ll find Julie Mann’s insights and suggestions very helpful.
You can treat your pet’s ailments yourself in most cases using natural remedies. Julie Mann makes some specific recommendations on this episode of the VidalSPEAKS podcast and gives you simple ways to administer and use the things she recommends. I think you’ll find this episode to be very hopeful AND helpful.
One of the most important things you can do for your animals is to ensure that they are getting the proper diet - which means that commercial foods are not the best way to go. You need to know that your animals are getting a diet that is as close to what they would eat in the wild as possible. Dry foods from big companies are definitely not that. On this episode Julie shares how a simple change in diet changes health issues in a big way most of the time, so be sure you listen.

TODAY’S GUEST: Dr. Johnny Truong Dr. Johnny Truong is one of a select few highly trained upper cervical chiropractic specialists in not only Los Angeles, Ca. but also in the world. His upper cervical chiropractic approach is gentle and does not require harsh twisting, popping or cracking of the spine. He has taken the pledge, “To the best of my ability, I agree to provide my patients convenient, affordable, and mainstream Chiropractic care. I will not use unnecessary long-term treatment plans and/or therapies.” Dr. Truong has been a Los Angeles upper cervical chiropractor exclusively for almost 14 years. Over those years, he’s delivered over 270,000 individual chiropractic adjustments. Upper cervical chiropractic is a specialty within chiropractic which deals with the most vital part of the nervous system and that is your brain stem. The brain stem allows the brain to effectively connect with the body and helps to control all of its life giving functions. When this communication process is interfered with, pain-suffering and poor health develops.

IN THIS EPISODE: What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic? If you can imagine a power cord running from a generator to the things that it supplies power to, then you’ve got a pretty good idea of how the spinal column runs from the brain into the rest of the body through the neck. At the base of the skull is the C1 or Atlas vertebra. It’s the very first of the vertebra that the spinal column moves through. If the Atlas is misaligned any number of symptoms can occur. On this episode Dr. Truong shares many stories of the conditions he sees regularly and how Upper Cervical Chiropractic makes a tremendous difference.
The Atlas is one of the most commonly misaligned vertebra in the entire spine and is also the most neglected in terms of regular chiropractic adjustment. That’s because typical chiropractic treatments literally can’t touch the Atlas in a way that moves it as needed. It takes someone like Dr. Johnny Truong, a specially trained Upper Cervical Chiropractic doctor to adjust it in a way that really matters. You’ll be amazed at some of the stories Dr. Truong shares about how his Upper Cervical techniques have brought healing and relief to his patients. Be sure you listen.
In case you didn’t know it, I have had back and neck issues for much of my adult life. My career as a professional golfer in combination with a terrible accident have caused serious issues in my neck, the area Dr. Johnny Truong specializes in treating. I had gone to chiropractors my entire career and never received the relief I was seeking. I eventually visited Dr. Truong because of vertigo that was plaguing me and within a few treatments my vertigo was gone and the pain I’d had chronically for years was diminishing.
If you haven’t heard of the Upper Cervical approach to chiropractic treatment, you owe it to yourself to hear the stories of how Dr. Truong has been able to help thousands of people. You’ll come away inspired, but more so, you’ll receive some excellent advice about how you can become more aware of your own posture to prevent injuries and upper cervical issues.
Near the end of my conversation with Dr. Truong he generously offers to see any of my podcast listeners for an initial consultation for free and also offers to give you a discount on your first Upper Cervical chiropractic treatment. He’s a lifesaver to me and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Dr. Truong is the old fashioned kind of doctor who truly cares and takes the time to find out what’s really wrong so he can treat your condition properly. You won’t be disappointed.

TODAY’S GUEST: Rick Simpson is a retired power engineer who worked for 25 years in the medical system in Canada. After suffering a severe head injury in 1997 he took all the medications that the doctors prescribed, but their side effects did nothing but harm. So in desperation he turned to the use of cannabis extracts, which he produced himself and quickly found that he had discovered the greatest natural medicine on earth. After learning the truth about the amazing healing abilities of these extracts, he then went to everyone in authority to have its use recognized once more, but found that in reality those who control our lives, wanted to keep the truth hidden from public view. Having nowhere else to turn, he then made this knowledge public and since that time countless individuals worldwide have used his information to cure or control illnesses for which our current medical systems have no solution.
Rick Simpson was giving the oil away for free, since he was growing plants in his own backyard, while he was still in Canada, until 2009, when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police did the final raid at his home. Rick was always talking about THC oil, and not CBD oil. The oil that he was giving away for free had a very high percentage of THC and it also contained low levels of CBD and other cannabinoids. Today these extracts are usually called RSO or Rick Simpson Oil and it was the previous leader of the hemp movement Jack Herer himself who coined this phrase. Since 2013 Rick no longer lives in Canada.
"I want people to know how to heal themselves." - Rick Simpson
NOTE: Rick Simpson does not want to be connected with any company that is producing hemp oil. We need to get your confirmation that you are not going to use the interview with Rick, to promote such organisations.

IN THIS EPISODE: My conversation with Rick Simpson continues on this episode of Vidal Speaks. He’s a fount of knowledge when it comes to the growing of cannabis for medicinal purposes and gives some detailed information on this episode about the species he grows, how he creates the extracts and oils from the plant, and even gives some non-solvent based solutions to extracting the medicinal properties of the cannabis. That makes me feel a lot safer doing this myself and I think it will for my of you.
Rick Simpson’s feeling about traditional medicine is not good. With the experiences he’s had with the wonders of medicinal cannabis I can see why. If you want to know the wide variety of treatments that can be addressed and even totally healed by using cannabis extracts, Rick shares a handful of stories of the things he’s seen on this episode. I hope you’ll listen with an open mind.
Medicinal cannabis has been applied to a variety of ailments thousands of years and today’s guest, Rick Simpson, believes that there has been clear proof that it can be used to cure cancer for at least 150 years. Why haven’t we heard about it sooner? Rick believes that both the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical companies have far too much to lose in terms of profit to allow the medicinal use of cannabis to be clearly revealed. That’s why he’s been so outspoken about this wonderful healing plant over the years.
What kind of ailments do you suffer from? Would you do anything to experience true healing? If that’s the case you’ll want to hear what my guest, Rick Simpson has to say - but you’ll need to come with an open mind. He’s a proponent of the medicinal uses of the cannabis plant, which has been demonized under the term “marijuana.” On this episode Rick gives clear data that shows how cannabis has been used to treat and cure many diseases that the medical establishment continues to throw addictive drugs at. I bring this conversation to you in hopes that you can find the healing you truly need.
If you know someone who is suffering from cancer of any kind, skin ailments, breathing issues, or some unknown condition, please allow your care for them to motivate you to action. Rick Simpson’s generous sharing in this conversation could be the answer they’ve been looking for. Medicinal cannabis is not an addictive drug or a terrible thing only “potheads” use. When made and used responsibly, like any medicine cannabis can have tremendous benefits that defy explanation. Please, take the time to listen and share this episode with those you love who need this information.

IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT THE MEDICAL USES OF CANNABIS: Today’s conversation is one that I’m especially happy to bring to you because it has to do with the real ways that people who are currently suffering from terrible diseases like cancer can take control of their own health, remediating the pain and even curing their illness through the use of a controversial but proven treatment - medical cannabis.
As you can see from Rick Simpson’s bio above, he’s one of the people on the front lines - not only of the use of cannabis as a legitimate medical treatment but also in leading the charge to repeal the ridiculous laws worldwide that keep people from being their own best physician.
This conversation about the medical uses of cannabis ranges widely - from how Rick Simpson began his own experimentation with distilling essential oils from the cannabis plant, to the legal threats he’s experienced as a result, to many of the details about what the cannabis plant actually does in the body and how it gives relief not only to pain in the actual healing of many diseases people are suffering from all over the world.
I want to encourage you to open your mind… to think about cannabis differently. Neither my guest, Rick Simpson, nor I are encouraging anyone to spend their lives high from smoking marijuana. What we’re imploring people to consider is that this plant, though controversial because of its use as a drug in some contexts, is also endowed with the ability to be a truly helpful medicine for many who suffer needlessly.
What can we do to make the way easier for those who suffer to manage their own pain and set their lives on a better pathway toward health? Rick Simpson is a man who is willing to ask those difficult questions and lead the charge toward legalization of cannabis for medical uses and to educate people how they can use the plant for its medicinal properties in safe and effective ways. You will get so much from listening to this conversation so I encourage you to do it - and to do so with an open mind.

She tells us how have never been taught how to sleep, which may sound funny but once you listen to Nancy, you will understand there is much to learn on what to do to maximize our sleep. This episode is a MUST for everyone to learn what makes us not sleep well, what we can do about that & how to set up our very own sleep sanctuary. We spend 1/3 or life sleeping so we need to learn everything possible about it such as: how much, why we can’t sleep & what we can do to sleep better. Sleep can be a problem at any age. Most of us have experienced some issue with sleep at some point in our life whether it was because of an acute emotional upset or a long term chronic issue, as is the case with many. Regardless if you sleep well or not now, many struggle more with sleep as they age. Did you know that 36% of Americans drive drowsy or fall asleep while driving and 34% of employees reported their employer allows them to nap during breaks & 16% of employers provide a place to do so. These stats all go up when we consider all people in the world! This should give you an idea of how tired the world really is. Sleeping clears our mind, helps our memory, improves our mood, makes us more efficient yet 70% of the world population has some issue with sleep. WARNING: This episode will NOT put you to sleep…. I promise! Enjoy! Remember you heal with a diet powered by plants, detoxing & homeopathy of course! Peace!

In this episode I want to speak to you about how medicine has changed over the years, from doctors treating the whole family, your whole body & doing house calls, to finally arriving at today’s system where insurance companies control how much time a doctor can spend with patients & how much they will get paid for the 5 minutes they allow them. You will learn how medicine is not about healing anymore but more about symptom management with pharmaceuticals. The perfect guest to speak about this change has to be someone that has lived & practiced medicine in both paradigms. So I chose my dad, Dr. Jose Vidal MD, because he is 91 years old & a retired ophthalmologist who practiced medicine for 61 years & lived thru the changes. My dad loved being a doctor and not only does he still LOVE to help people as you will hear, you will learn how his love to HELP & HEAL people was the only reason why he became a doctor in the first place. True passion to help others is not often the motivation to be a doctor anymore & even when it is doctors often get out of medical school & into their practice realizing that all they are doing is pharmaceutical symptom management. This dissatisfaction has led many modern doctors to use their degree & knowledge to learn other natural modalities in order to really help the patients heal, which is what they always wanted to in the first place. You heard that in the previous podcast with Dr. Joe, I you will hear it from many others in the future too. Many doctors do want to heal but medicine is not about healing anymore. We can’t blame our doctors if that is what they are being taught in medical schools. And we each have to take responsibility to learn how to be well. It is so easy to blame your doctor but how much effort did you put into researching what it was they told you to do? It is time to take charge of your decisions & to research the protocols or advice your doctor is giving you instead of blindly following their advice & blaming them later! I believe when it comes to doctors we will come back to the ways of the past. So sit back relax & enjoy listening to a piece of history. Enjoy! Remember you heal with homeopathy, detoxing and a diet powered by plants! Peace!

In this episode Dr. Chester Yokoyama DDS, a biological and holistic dentist tells us how our dental issues are connected to our overall health. It is rare to hear a dentist speak on any podcast because they are not allowed to go against the advice of the American Dental Association, who tell us that many things are safe that have wrecked havoc on many peoples health. Dr. Yokoyama speaks about how important it is to know our options when it comes to treating a dental issue. Most of us have fillings already, and many still have the mercury amalgams, but wonder if we should have them removed, and if so…. why & how to go about that. Another difficult dental decision is when we are faced with the news that we need a root canal. There is so much information out there detailing how root canals can destroy our health yet so many people have them… can this be true & why are they considered such a risk? Finally Dr. Yokoyama speaks about the benefits of an old Ayurvedic tradition called oil pulling. So, sit back & listen and you will get all the answers you have been looking for! Enjoy!

Today’s episode with Dr. Joe Rozencwaig talks about how & why he went from a cardiac thoracic surgeon to becoming a homeopath. You will learn why he became frustrated with medicine & how he had to learn & study so many methods before he found enough tools to really help the level of sickness that we homeopaths see today! He speaks of how much sicker patients are coming & why he needs to approach homeopathy with a bit of a different system than is used among most homeopaths. He uses a method called O.D.D. or Organotherapy, Drainage & Detox along with many other techniques & modalities. I believe this episode has something for everyone. If you are a non homeopathic practitioner you may feel some things are over your head & at times it will be like you are eavesdropping on a conversation between 2 homeopaths sharing their experiences. But I believe you will enjoy & appreciate how a homeopath’s job has become so difficult with the level of sickness patients are coming to them today. If you are a homeopath then you will enjoy the depth of conversation we have discussing how he integrates ODD into his case work & how he approaches cases. Dr. Joe is a real gem, a character and almost a rebel in our world of homeopathy! One thing for sure he really wants to help people & is an amazing doctor because of that & all his hard work to lean all he has had to in order to be so successful. Enjoy!

This episode is a story of pain, loss, recovery & transformation to inspire you! D. Anthony Evans was diagnosed with a disease called Neurofibromatosis at the age of 6. This is one of the most painful diseases known because tumors grow along all the nerve pathways in the body. He was given the name of ‘TUMOR BOY’ by other kids and outsiders all his life. Being the son of a mother with aids he had a short life with his mom, but in that short time he got more love from her than many do in a lifetime with their parents. His mom told him he was beautiful every day & gave him the courage to not only fight his disease without her, but to go on to become one of the strongest men in the world physically because he can deadlift 700 pounds! But the story doesn’t stop there… you just have to listen because I gave him all the time he needed to tell his whole story and this allows you to see how at any point it could have had a different ending had he not been touched by some key people in his life that reached out to help him. Chef Choi the famous plant-based chef was one of those and you will hear how he helped him & continues to help him. Truly an inspirational story so when you think you are having a bad day you need to listen to this one! He is the kind of guy you just want to give a big hug to… that is IF you can get your arms around those huge muscles! LOL Enjoy!

In this episode we encourage you to plant a garden of your own not matter how small, to find a passion or some work you love and to see food as way to nourish your cells & your soul. We speak about how the healthcare system makes us all feel lost after finishing school because we have never learned any skills how to take care of ourselves in a way that will bring us a long sustainable healthy life. Lloyd shares what is important for him on his health journey and how the challenges always are there, but the more we know, the more we take care of ourselves, the less overwhelming it is to overcome them. WE speak of how homeopathy has helped save our lives in certain situations and what we would like to do to change the world so people could live happier & healthier. Enjoy!

Part 2 - Chris Wark gives us his favorite recipes he used to heal. I loved how he describes the signs that were given to him to show him the way he could heal. It is very fascinating & reinforces how we need to be open and look around but also to listen to our gut instinct. He was very clear what he wanted to do to heal but his story of how his doctor scared him out of his plan is pretty profound. One of the most interesting parts of this episode is when he goes into how they really do the stats for cancer survival. It is shocking and you will learn a lot so you know better how to ask a doctor for real facts. Another hopeful encouraging story where whole plant foods healed a cancer that doctors said he would die from if he didn’t do their treatment. There are now millions of these and yet western medicine says we still don’t have a cure for cancer. REALLY? Enjoy! Remember you heal with homeopathy, detoxing and a diet powered by plants! Peace!

Brenda Davis is an amazing healthy version of what we know as a Registered Dietician or an RD. RD’s are the practitioners that doctors send their patients to & who plan the menus at hospitals and you all know how bad & unhealthy hospital food is right? So you may wonder why I have an RD on the show. Well, wait & listen to Brenda! She is a first class healthy whole foods plant based foods advocate. Yes there are not many dietitians like Brenda. She was a dietician first and then became a passionate vegan once she learned the power of plants and especially when she was challenged by a friend who confronted her for eating animals! Listen to hear the whole story but more than that listen to learn the truth of what nutrition is important for the human body and why animal foods are harmful not helpful. Brenda is a leader in her field and an internationally acclaimed speaker. She has worked as a public health nutritionist, clinical nutrition specialist, nutrition consultant and academic nutrition instructor. Enjoy!

In this episode of vidalSPEAKS you will hear a remarkable recovery story about how Felicity Corbin Wheeler who was given 6 weeks to live after her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer & what she did to heal herself. Her motivation was her loss of her daughter more than 10 years prior to Hodgkins Cancer and because she watched her suffer horrible with the traditional treatments of Chemo & Radiation. Before her daughter passed she said “Mom there must be a better way!” From that point on Felicity went full throttle into the research mode to learn why she got the cancer and what could have been done only to find out that all she learned would give her a chance to cure herself! Stories like this need to get out so we can see the power behind a whole food, mostly raw organic plant based diet, along with the necessity to detox, juice and heal emotions that chain us down. I would always add homeopathy into the list of must do’s when dealing with cancer or any chronic disease. Enjoy Remember the healing is in plants!

Part 2 - In this episode, Sanae Suzuki speaks much more about the details of the macrobiotic healing diet. You will learn how macrobiotics individualize the diet according to the nature of the person and the specific disease. In other words some foods are healing for one condition but are not beneficial in another. Learn why! Also Sanae speaks about how macrobiotic is a lifestyle and a philosophy not just a diet. It is based on yin and yang which include eating foods in their proper season. Macrobiotics has long been known as a healing diet for cancer & many other chronic diseases. Sanae explains how are there are 3 levels of the macrobiotic diet and the one that is used to heal with is called the healing macrobiotic diet. She discusses the details of each and how she used the macrobiotic lifestyle & healing diet to heal herself from stage 4 ovarian cancer. You will find hope when you hear her story & learn that no matter how far you have pushed your body there is always hope we can turn that process around with natural methods that stimulate the body’s own immune response to heal.

Part 1 - Sanae’s story is often a typical story before someone gets diagnosed with a cancer or serious disease. I feel it is a good story to share so you can see in hindsight how a destructive lifestyle is a big stress to the body & how eating unhealthy offers zero nutrition to the body which in the end often causes a shocking diagnosis that wakes the person up! That is the case for Sanae and in this interview she opens up to share her story & her cure. Part 1 is mostly about her story and intertwined thru that is some macrobiotic principals and information. What I love about her story is that she faced adversity so many times in life yet she never gave up and believed whole heartedly that she could heal herself and overcome life challenges. It is the perfect story to show just how strong the body can be to heal when you feed it the right food. In today’s world they say 1 out of 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer therefore doing all we can to learn things to keep us away from such diseases is very important. And if you combine that with the high cost of healthcare, which is unaffordable already for most people, then we need to learn to use an organic whole food plant-based diet to heal ourselves. This will heal on the deepest level and not just take away symptoms unlike medical treatments or drugs that have not done anything to remove the cause. Macrobiotics has been known as a diet that heals many diseases, especially cancer, for hundreds of years. Enjoy and be sure to stay tuned next week for Part 2. Peace!

Todays show is going to be great because you get to meet my partner Lloyd. The reason why his story is a good one is he sees health thru the eyes of being a patient not a practitioner. Lloyd is an athlete too… he is a motorcycle racer! You know one of the knee draggers that go 180 and leaning over sideways around a corner! I think you will enjoy hearing his journey and our discussion on how we can attain health in this crazy world! Hearing his story is motivating because like many of you like Lloyd had to find his way to wellness from ill health and as you know the road you must travel on to find wellness is often a LONG one! Lloyd has had many accidents but the big one he actually died in as he severed his aorta in 2 places. Thankfully they were able to bring him back and surgically give him an artificial aorta… but that left him searching for help because of all the complications and injuries. I think you will like him because he is a very passionate and open minded person who has been willing to completely change his diet, his lifestyle just to have a shot at feeling good in life! And it was not too far down that road that he began to see the light at the end of the tunnel and knew he was on the right journey.

INTRO TO vidalSPEAKS - In this first podcast I want welcome you! What is this podcast about? Health & Wellness & Healthy living and any aspect that can contribute to that. For me that means using homeopathy & many other alternative approaches to getting well such as: vegan organic plant based diet, detoxing, clean diet, learning how & why we get sick & how to stop making decisions that make us sicker. Health is a general idea and it leaves so many things to speak about but that is why I love the name of the podcast, as it gives me a chance to cover every aspect of health and to interview many experts to help you feel more confident about taking your health into your own hands & being responsible for your decisions. Included in health is anything that can help us mentally emotionally or physically become balanced & happier… so the door is wide open and I love that! Who am I?

I want you to feel like you are sitting with me having a tea and chatting on a personal level. In order to do that I need to tell you my story and how I got on this path AND why I feel compelled to do this podcast and speak out now.
