Chris is the North American Spokesperson for New Humanism, also known as Universal Humanism. He has been active in the Humanist Movement, the concrete and organized expression of New Humanism, for the past 18 years. Like all New Humanists, Chris is a volunteer.

Chris was an Editor of The Chelsea Journal from 1992 to 1994, and helped organize a campaign to fight lead poisoning among local children during this time, among other grass-roots initiatives. From 1994 to 1997, he was publisher of The West Side Story, an all-volunteer humanist neighborhood newspaper for the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood in New York City. He also founded a humanist community center for the neighborhood, which hosted projects in the arts, community gatherings and other initiatives. During this time, he launched a campaign to develop a new neighborhood middle school, and supported the campaigns of two Humanist candidates for the school board.

Over the course of his humanist work, Chris has helped organize local, city-wide, and regional humanist forums, including the North American New Humanist Forum in November, 2007 (http://www.newhumanistforum.org/). He participated actively in projects aiming to humanize health care and education. He has also organized demonstrations calling for worldwide nuclear disarmament, and helped lead human support campaigns for humanist projects in Bangladesh and Mozambique.

Chris has represented U.S. New Humanists at humanist conferences and gatherings in Spain, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil. He has played an active role in North American projects of support for grass-roots international movements such as the Zapatistas in the Chiapas region of Mexico and the inspiring process of non-violent revolution that is unfolding now in Bolivia. In November, 2007, Chris traveled to La Paz to take part in the 2nd Latin American Humanist Forum. During this trip, he was honored to participate in a ceremony at Tiawanaku, the sacred site of the pre-Incan civilization, and in the opening of the Forum, addressed by Evo Morales and by Tomas Hirsch, the Latin American Spokesperson for New Humanism.

Chris proudly marched with other New Humanists against the invasion of Iraq before it was launched, and in March 2007 & 2008 helped to organize Living Signs of Peace and Non-violence in New York City, protesting the occupation. His other recent activities include several radio interviews, and various actions against a planned US radar base in the Czech Republic (part of the so-called missile defense shield). In April, 2008, Chris joined Jan Tamas, Chair of the Czech Humanist Party and leader of a strong movement against the base, in meetings with Noam Chomsky and Dennis Kucinich.

Last year, Chris was invited to address the 1st International Symposium of the World Center of Humanist Studies, held in Punta de Vacas, Argentina. He presented a talk entitled “A Brief Summary of The Statement of the Humanist Movement” to a distinguished audience including Rodrigo Carazo, former president of Costa Rica and founder of the University for Peace, and Bolivian Senator Gaston Cornejo. During that same weekend, he joined in the launching of the 1st ever World March for Peace and Nonviolence, which he will be actively promoting between now and its conclusion in January, 2010.

Guest Biography:

A. True Ott received his Bachelors of Arts degree from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah in 1982, and went on to receive his Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Nutrition through the American College in Washington DC in 1994.  Dr. Ott’s dissertation and research followed the groundbreaking work of Linus Pauling, and asserted via independent research that each mineral on the periodic table of the elements, in its pure hexagonal crystalline form, pulses a specific hertz resonant frequency based on its atomic weight and unique electron configuration.  Dr. Ott then measured and graphed the individual resonant frequencies inherent in vitamin and enzyme structures, and independently verified that 23 minerals are the base raw materiel of nutrition and are vitally important in keeping the human cells in a state of balance or homeostatic health.  Dr. Ott has been counseling and lecturing on this most basic form of prime nutrition for over 15 years, and founded Mother Earth Minerals, Inc. in 1997.

Dr. Ott’s independent research also verified the importance of free electrons in nutritional, water-soluble mineral supplements, as well as ultra-pure drinking water and oxygen molecules.  He developed a patent-pending drinking water product that attaches free electrons to the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules in ultra-pure, medicinal grade water – making it negatively charged (extra ‘free electrons’) and then introduced it to individuals suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, etc.  Amazingly, the free electrons in Dr. Ott’s water product began to reduce the symptoms associated with chronic disease in a very powerful way.  As Dr. Ott declared in a recent symposium: “Society has unfortunately taken water for granted.  When I share my research on water and minerals with others in the allopathic medical community, the typical response is raised eyebrows and mocking derision.  Too often health care professionals, however, forget that the human body is composed of 70% water and 30% minerals – therefore it is simply common sense that pure water combined with pure minerals comprise Mother Earth’s medicine chest for all mammalian life forms! It is not rocket science, only basic nutritional truth!”

The author and publisher of dozens of articles and three books on nutrition, Dr. Ott is continually searching for natural solutions and answers to the nation’s chronic health problems, and believes that education is the first step.  His latest book, Secret Assassins in Food blows the whistle on common food additives and is a “must-read” in order to understand some of the more toxic food additives and programs!

From 1996-2001, Dr. Ott worked with Mr. Warren Anderson to produce the radio program “The Story Behind the Story” at KSUB Radio in Cedar City, Utah and was awarded the prestigious Peabody Award for radio documentary.

Guest Occupation: Consciousness Coach, Teacher, Author, Writer, International Speaker, Journalist, Noetic Science Explorer, Philosopher
Guest Biography:

Let me introduce myself: I am Christian de Quincey, and I have two major passions in life, exploring consciousness and writing (including the fine art of editing).

I am a consciousness coach, teacher, author, writing coach, and international speaker. My focus is consciousness, the essence of who we are and what we can become. I have been studying, practicing, and teaching the noetic arts and sciences for the past 20 years.

This website is a way for me to guide and support others to transform their own lives by developing their natural noetic gifts. "Noetic" refers to intuitive ways of knowing, how we feel and think, intuit, and imagine. It's all about being in relationship: with yourself, with others, and with the natural world. "Noetics" is also about naturally expanding consciousness of our place in the larger scheme of things, and how we can realize our full potential as caring and compassionate human beings.

If you ever think about any of these things, you might be interested to learn how and why I came to write a novel explaining my understanding of consciousness. It is called Deep Spirit: Cracking the Noetic Code. The whole idea came in a flash of insight, in two short weeks 400 pages came flowing out (the published version is shorter!). Learn more about the ideas I express in the book.

For 12 years, I was editor of the IONS Review and Shift, the magazine published by the Institute of Noetic Sciences in California. During that time, I completed my doctoral studies in philosophy and religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and co-authored The Scientific Exploration of Consciousness with the late Willis Harman.

Since then, I have spent most of my time putting into practice for myself what I have learned about how the noetic arts and sciences can help people access higher levels of awareness and understanding. I offer online and in-person tutorials , individually as well as in workshops.

A relentless researcher, Trudeau found an industry expert in Mexico City, where he underwent radical live cell therapy. Cured, he returned to the Mayo Clinic for an ultrasound where the incredulous physicians saw that the malady was cured. Rather than embracing the results, the Clinic “didn’t want to hear about it”. Asking the question, “what else is the medical community hiding from me?”, Trudeau began his relentless journey as an advocate for alternative cures.

His groundbreaking book, self published in 2005, Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About was number one on the New York Times best sellers list for 26 weeks and is one of the best selling health books of all time.

BIO FROM: (top paragraph only) http://www.iceagecivilizations.com/author.html

James I. Nienhuis graduated from Dartmouth College in 1976 with a degree in geology, and has studied ancient history pertaining to the Genesis account since 1985. His first book Old Earth was published in 2003, and his second book, Ice Age Civilizations, has already received rave reviews, and is destined to change the way we look at ancient history, because it explains how the ancients were able to measure and thereby map the earth with a simple mechanical device, during the Ice Age, which ended much later than is commonly advertised, as the evidence plainly reveals.

Nienhuis is an expert in study of past civilizations, showing they were far more advanced than current experts are willing to acknowledge, and perhaps more advanced than contemporary civilization, as the ancient ruins show. The amazing advanced nature of these civilizations leads many to theorize that they are the product of either ultra advanced humans in the past, and/or ultra advanced extraterrestrials in the past who showed humans how to build, farm, and live (this is the ‘ancient astronaut theory’). He is also an expert on the theory that the earth (and perhaps the universe) is not old, and is very young. This theory is difficult for many to digest since they are inundated with theories that the earth and universe is very old through the information in schools and on TV, without ever being shown the information that contradicts old earth and universe theories, and without ever being shown the strengths of the young earth and universe theories.
