Guest Occupation: Physician, Endocrinologist, Menopause Health Authority, Doctor of Internal Medicine, Author, Lecturer, Educator
Guest Biography:

Diana Schwarzbein, MD is a board certified physician specializing in endocrinology.  In over twenty years of private practice she has helped thousands of women effectively and safely manage their menopause.  A pioneer and recognized expert in the use of bio-identical hormones for treating menopause, Dr. Schwarzbein is now the country’s leading advocate for changing the way in which menopause is understood and managed by physicians.  She provides the expertise, the experience, and the energy behind Menopause Power – her initiative to educate women to take the lead in bringing about this long needed change.

Having completed her medical degree and residency in internal medicine at The University of Southern California, Dr. Schwarzbein was selected to do a two-year fellowship in endocrinology at USC.  Upon completion of her fellowship, she was chosen to be the head of the Department of Endocrinology at the Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, CA.  Her acclaimed success in this role led her to establish The Endocrinology Institute of Santa Barbara and later The Schwarzbein Institute through which she has treated thousands of patients with exceptional results.

The publication of her groundbreaking first book, The Schwarzbein Principle, in 1999, established her as an authority in the emerging fields of metabolic health and integrative medicine.  Since then she has been a frequent and favorite lecturer to physicians and other healthcare providers regarding metabolic health, including the management of menopause, diabetes, thyroid, and adrenal health issues.  Along with The Schwarzbein Principle, her subsequent, best-selling books, The Transition and The Program havemade her thinking and practices available to an appreciative worldwide audience.

Dr. Schwarzbein’s calling to become a physician and to adopt a highly scientific, integrative approach to the practice of medicine was born of personal experience.  As a child and adolescent, she encountered medical problems that were misdiagnosed and mistreated.  For her, this experience underscored the need to think holistically, to educate her patients and to enable them to engage as a partner in the management of their health.

Currently Dr. Schwarzbein maintains a limited private practice in Santa Barbara, CA where she lives with her husband and ever-growing family of rescued horses and dogs.  The balance of her professional time is dedicated to educating the public and physicians to adopt more modern thinking and practices based on her clinical successes with thousands of patients over more than two decades. 

The Schwarzbein Principle

First articulated in the late 1990s, The Schwarzbein Principle is notable for: (i) its departure from conventional thinking, (ii) its solid grounding in science, (iii) the degree to which it has since been validated by published research and clinical data, and (iv) the extent to which it has been embraced by physicians, other healthcare providers, and the general public.

The Schwarzbein Principle states: The degenerative diseases of aging are not genetic; they are caused by metabolic imbalance.

Guest Biography:

Dr. Margaret Flowers, Pediatrician, Healthcare Activist

I am a mother of 3 and a pediatrician. I practiced, mostly in Maryland, for about 15 years. I left practice in 2007 to advocate full-time for a single payer health insurance, starting at the state level (I wrote the state health bill, “The Maryland Health Security Act”) and then at the national level as Congressional Fellow for Physicians for a National Health Program in 2009-2010. During the national health reform process, I saw clearly the corporate influence over the legislation. The current federal health law was written by and for the corporations that profit from our current health system. In addition to the traditional approaches of organizing Congressional Briefings, lobbying and testifying, I had my first experience with nonviolent civil resistance when single payer advocates were shut out of the committees. I organized protests and was arrested three times during the health reform process trying to push for reform that was in the interests of patients and health professionals.

After the national reform was signed into law, I traveled the country working with activists on next steps in organizing for single payer/improved Medicare for All. I traveled with the Mad as Hell Doctors too. When people asked how we will eventually wing single payer, I answered that we will see single payer when we win the broader struggle for social, economic and environmental justice. Over that period of travel, it became clearer to me that all who advocate for justice will need to work together in order to have enough strength to make progress. And to be honest, giving people access to health care without addressing the social determinants of health will fail to improve our overall health. One of the greatest drivers of poor health is wealth inequality.

In December, 2010, I had the opportunity to model what I had been saying. I stood with hundreds of others in front of the White House protesting war and 132 of us were arrested.

One of our next projects was a protest against Bank of America in New York City on Tax Day. We joined with 17 different groups to organize this protest and we focused on “people over profits.

I also believe that telling the truth is imperative in this age of propaganda. I am co-host of a radio show, “Clearing the FOG: Speaking truth to expose the Forces of Greed:” which airs on WeAct Radio. I serve on the board of Healthcare-Now.org and am involved in the “Health care is a Human Right” campaign in Maryland. And I am one of the 50 doctors who filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court arguing that the individual mandate which forces people to purchase private insurance is unconstitutional.

I have been interviewed by Bill Moyers and other TV and radio hosts and am published in blogs such as TruthOut.

Guest Occupation: Patient Care Leader, Biotoxin Researcher, Mold Expert, Physician, Lecturer, Author, Writer, Speaker
Guest Biography:

Ritchie Shoemaker, M. D., is a recognized leader in patient care, research and education pioneer in the field of biotoxin related illness.  While illness acquired following exposure to the interior environment of water-damaged buildings (WDB) comprises the bulk of Shoemaker’s daily practice, other illnesses caused by exposure to biologically produced toxins are quite similar in their “final common pathway.”  What this means is that while the illness might begin acutely with exposure to fungi, spirochetes, apicomplexans, dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria, for example, in its chronic form, each of these illnesses has similar symptoms, lab findings and Visual Contrast Sensitivity findings.  Taken together the inflammatory illness from each of these diverse sources is known as a Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.  

Dr. Shoemaker has dedicated his life and career to uncovering the link between the toxic stew found in many of our buildings and homes, and the vast amount of misdiagnosed and catch-all ailments physicians often assign patients for whom they cannot offer any real treatment.

Dr. Shoemaker graduated from Duke University where he received honors in undergraduate and medical degrees. He is a practicing physician in Pocomoke City, MD, and conducts research with collaborators on an international basis. His dedication to his patients and his advancement of medicine through research has been recognized often, including receipt of the Maryland Academy of Family Practice Physician of the Year 2000 award, which was followed by an award as a finalist in the National competition for 2002. Shoemaker is asked to lecture to academic and lay audiences alike, with addresses to the US House of Representative and Senate.

Dr. Shoemaker has published eight books, the newest being Surviving Mold, and has numerous publications in scientific research journals, on audio and video tapes and in newspapers. He has made many presentations at scientific meetings, and has frequently appeared on television.  Look for his upcoming show on Mystery Diagnosis in 2011.  Dr. Shoemaker was the lead committee member of the July 2010 Policy Holders of America position paper – “Research Committee Report on Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Caused by Exposure to the Interior Environment of Water Damaged Buildings.”  This treatise is widely noted to be the most through, rigorous and transparent of all the discussions of illness from WDB.

Dr. Shoemaker's lectures are known for their enthusiastic presentation of thought provoking ideas. Whether his speech is educational or motivational, he is an entertaining speaker with a stimulating approach to thinking that will challenge the listener.

Guest Occupation: Bach Remedy Teacher, Homeopath, Naturopath, Healer, Herbalist, Nutritional Consultant, Doctor in Religion, Spiritual Wellness Facilitator, Author
Guest Biography:

Spoken of by many as one of the greatest living masters of the Bach Flower Remedies, Dr. Love has the oldest ongoing classes in the Bach Remedies in the world, forty years, and has worked with over 100,000 people.

He has been a practicing Homeopath now for forty years, although he is no longer in private practice.  He has served as Founder and Director of the International Association of Homeopathy, based in Montana, for 18 years.  And he has been honored to train many thousands of individuals from Hong Kong to Israel, and around the United States. who now use his healing approach.

The International Association of Homeopathy offers a one year Certification Program with distance learning, and apprenticeship with Dr. Love. You will receive your Certified Homeopath, Certified Herbalist, Certified Nutrition Consultant, and Homeopathic Certification in the Treatment of Animals.

Dr. Love has developed a new level of Healing using the Homeopathic approach to the Bach Remedies.  His approach is much more effective, and helpful, and way more powerful, than the way the Flowers are currently being used.  In the Certification Program he personally guides a student through the gateways and doorways and hidden gates, of their own individual Healing Process.  And then he teaches you how to Heal others.

A student learns how to heal dis-ease and how to understand emotions.  The emphasis is not on science but on Healing.  With a Ph.D. in Religion, Dr. Love approaches all healing from the Spiritual, because “the curative power is in the Soul.”

In the Natural Healing Movement today, and in our culture, no one is treating the Emotional Component and healing it, satisfactorily.  Most practitioners simply ignore it, and skirt around it. Dr. Love was honored to be asked to speak for each of the last three years at the Naturopathic Medical School in Arizona.

When he spoke, he told the students:

“You guys are paying $150,000 to go through medical school. But no one…no professor, no class…no teacher, is teaching you how to heal the Emotional Component and how to heal the Emotional – Spiritual Conflict inside a person, which is the root cause of dis-ease.”

“If it’s Emotional I can show you how to heal it. Because the Emotional – Spiritual Conflict, and the Emotional Component is absolutely and definitely… the true root cause… the original cause of all dis-ease and pain. And no one is addressing it, healing it, and taking care of it”

At the International Association of Homeopathy a student learns how to heal their Shadow, their Darkness, their Shadow Side.  They learn how to do the deepest and most powerful Inner Child Work, or Shadow Work. They learn how to heal the Emotional – Spiritual Conflict within themselves.  And they learn how to help other people.

Dr. Love has authored three books: 

  • The Art of Healing
  • Physician Heal Thyself
  • Personality Profiles of the Bach Flower Remedies

All available from the author.

Guest Occupation: Ufologist, Researcher, Author, Lecturer, UFO Disclosure Activist
Guest Biography:

Grant Cameron became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of an object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star.  The sightings occurred in Carman, Manitoba about 25 miles north of the Canada-US border. Hundreds of other people sighted objects at the same time during a prolonged flap of sightings.

Over the next 18 months he had many sightings of large objects and small (monitor) objects in the area. He spent countless days in the area photographing a series of strange objects and interviewing hundreds of witnesses who were involved.

After composing a manuscript about the flap, he moved on to research the work of the late Wilbert B. Smith. Smith headed up the Canadian government flying saucer investigation known as Project Magnet which ran from 1950 to 1954. During two decades of work on Smith, Cameron was able to collect most of Smith’s files and material written. He interviewed most of the associates around Smith who worked on the flying saucer investigation. He has produced a CD-Rom data disk that hold most of the documents from the Smith files, along with 12 hours of audio related to Smith's work.

Years of Smith research led to the discovery of former Penn State University president Dr. Eric Walker, who was identified by Dr. Robert Sarbacher as a key person inside the UFO cover-up. Cameron teamed up with T. Scott Crain to research and write a book titled "UFOs, MJ-12, and the Government", published by MUFON. The book summed up their three years of research on Dr. Walker's involvement. An updated version of this book with new material will be released inlate 2012 and will be titled "UFOs, Area51, and Government Informants."

In the past few years Cameron has turned his research interests to the involvement and actions of the President of the United States in the UFO problem. He has made 25+ trips to the National Archives and most of the various Presidential archives looking for presidential UFO material.  One highlight his presidential UFO research was the chance to question Vice-president Dick Cheney on his knowledge of the UFO subject. Another highlight of the presidential UFO research was a FOIA to the White House Office of Science and Technology which yielded 1,000 pages of UFO documents from the Clinton administration. 

At present Cameron is working on producing monographs for Dr. Walker, Wilbert Smith, the Presidential involvement in the topic of psychic phenomena, and a monograph looking at a possible disclosure pattern to try and explain the many actions of the American government, related to UFOs, during the last 50 years. He is working on a detailed paper detailing the "64 Reasons the Government is Covering Up the ET Presence." He is also now researching an lecturing on the connection of consciousness to the UFO phenomena hoping that it will help explain how UFOs are propelled, and what is the real nature of the Universe.

He has produced a CD-Rom which includes "Tales of Charlie-Red-Star" a manuscript that was prepared in the late 70s about a flap of UFO sightings that occurred in Manitoba Canada in 1975-76. This is a flap of sightings that was immense in size, but generally unknown outside of Canada. A second item on the CD is "UFOs, MJ-12, and The Government," a book published in 1990 by MUFON. The disc contains the paper "Presidential UFO Audio Story" which is an article that contains 60+ embedded UFO audio clips of the presidents, their aides, or people talking about the presidents and UFOs.

Cameron completed a collection of hundreds of cartoons about UFOs which  was set up to help to tell the 50+ years of this strange phenomena. A PowerPoint collection of these cartoons was shown at the 2003 Ozark convention.

He has lectured widely in Canada, Europe, and the United States on the 1975 Carman flap, the Canadian government's early investigations into flying saucers, UFO disclosure politics, the Rockefeller UFO Initiative, and the Presidential UFO connection.

In September 2005 he was denied access to the United States to lecture on UFOs and why the government has chosen to withhold the truth.

At present Cameron is sorting through almost 100 FOIA requests from the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas, related to the UFO related actions and policies inside the two Presidential terms of Bill Clinton. They show that the Clinton administration was very interested in the pheneomena and actually tried to force out some of the hidden infomation to the public.
