Jeffrey Smith is an international bestselling author, award winning filmmaker, Executive Director of the Institute of Responsible Technology, and the leading spokesperson  on the health dangers of GMO’s.

The most recognized consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices, Jeffrey Smith’s meticulous research documents how biotech companies continue to mislead legislators and safety officials to put the health of society at risk and the environment in peril. His work expertly summarizes why the safety assessments conducted by the FDA and regulators worldwide teeter on a foundation of outdated science and false assumptions, and why genetically engineered foods must urgently become our nation’s top food safety priority.

In 2012 Smith’s feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette, The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded Movie of the Year (Solari Report) and Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide). Described as a “life-changer” and seen by millions worldwide, the film links genetically engineered food to toxic and allergic reactions, infertility, digestive disorders, and numerous problems that have been on the rise in the US population since genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were introduced.

His books include: Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, the world’s bestseller on GMOs, and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, the authoritative work on GMO health dangers.

A dynamic keynote speaker, Mr. Smith has lectured in more than 40 countries, counseled leaders from every continent, and has been quoted by thousands of news outlets including: The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC World Service, The Times (London), the Associated Press, Reuters News Service, the LA Times, Time Magazine and the New Scientist. He appears frequently on radio and television on shows such as the Dr. Oz Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Doctors, CBS News, Fox News, CNBC, NPR and Democracy Now.

Mr. Smith is the founding executive director of The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), the most comprehensive source of GMO health risk information for consumers, policy makers, and healthcare professionals. IRT’s educational programs are driving the tipping point of consumer rejection against GMOs, which is already starting to push genetically engineered ingredients out of the market in the US.

Mr. Smith resides in California and Iowa— surrounded by genetically modified soybeans and corn.

MAYA FIENNES

Maya Fiennes may be better known in the yogi and holistic health arena but her music has penetrated beyond the yoga mat. Macedonian born Maya has combined her talents as a successful classical pianist and performer with her upbeat personality to create a unique sound that lays a heavy hand on the Kundalini yoga she has been practicing for 20 years. Her music has always been tempered by the unfolding tragedies he Balkan homeland, influencing the natural optimism and exuberance of her songs with hints of darkness and melancholy.

Love Now – the new single from her forthcoming album ‘SHIFT” – has Maya’s vulnerable vocals sing the mantra Sat Siri Siri Akal, which sits perfectly on the uplifting and stirring instrumental bed co-written with LA based composer Danny Cocke. As with every track on the album, ‘Love Now’ has been written to a specific frequency. 528hz. The Love Frequency. Once could say it is perfectly timed as this mantra – also known as the ‘Aquarian Mantra’ – is said to impart deep sense of peace to the chanter or singer. It brings courage and victory. This is something that should resonant strongly during these chaotic times.

“This is the point where ambient, dance, world and classical music all meet, at the crossroads of quiet dignity and power….” [Q Music]

While working his “day job” as a world-renowned forensic geologist and the president of the Minnesota-based American Petrographic Services, Scott Wolter began developing a new science called archaeopetrography–a scientific process used to date and understand the origins of mysterious stone artifacts and sites. The first artifact Scott studied using this new science was the Kensington Rune Stone, which he believes is an authentic, pre-Columbian land claim carved here in America by none other than the Knights Templar. The Kensington Rune Stone was the subject of a documentary special called Holy Grail in America that aired on HISTORY in 2009. Now, in America Unearthed on H2, Scott has the chance to use forensic geology and archaeopetrography to explore many other untold stories in American history, changing everything we think we know about our past.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable structures to define a modern city. Yet, for author Kevin Hines the bridge is not merely a marker of a place or a time. Instead, the bridge marks the beginning of his remarkable story. On September 24, 2000, Kevin Hines was 19 years old, paranoid, and hallucinating when he jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.

Throwing himself headfirst over the bridge railing, he fell 220 feet into San Francisco Bay. During the fall, his body rotated so that when Hines hit the water he landed in a sitting position, taking the impact in his legs and up through his back. Three of his vertebrae were shattered, lacerating his lower internal organs. A United States Coast Guard vessel rescued him, and he was transported to a hospital in San Francisco where he received emergency surgery.

Following further, experimental surgery, any physical evidence of his experience is almost non-existent, and Hines has full mobility. Regarding his thoughts after the jump, Hines stated, “There was a millisecond of free fall. In that instant, I thought, what have I just done? I don’t want to die. God, please save me.”

Following his suicide attempt, Hines received some notoriety as a survivor, appearing in a documentary film, The Bridge (2006) and being interviewed on CNN by Larry King. Additionally, he wrote a book about his experience before and after his suicide attempt, 'Cracked, Not Broken', and became a mental health advocate as well as a proponent for a bridge suicide barrier or net to prevent such incidents.

In his book 'Cracked,Not Broken' Hines presents a vivid and moving memoir of how he descended into mental breakdown, fought to overcome demons, and made it his 'life’s work to educate people all over this great country, and around the globe, to prevent suicide and understand mental illness. His story chronicles the extraordinary will of the author to live mentally well in the face of his mental illness: bipolar disorder with psychotic features. With each mental breakdown, however, the author’s desire to live mentally well– and to be a mental health advocate– pulls him from the depths of his condition. Kevin’s story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to us to love the life we have. His story also reminds us that living mentally well takes time, endurance, hard work, and support. With these disciplines in place, those living with even very difficult diagnoses can achieve better lives for themselves and those who help to support and care for them.

Hines nearly became one of the more than 2,000 people who have jumped to their deaths from the Golden Gate Bridge since it was built in 1937. Fortunately, however, Hines become part of a much better statistic: he is the 26th person known to have survived the 220-foot fall.

His film “Suicide: The Ripple Effect” is a feature length documentary film and MOVEMENT, currently in production, focusing on the devastating effects of suicide and the tremendous positive ripple effects of advocacy, inspiration and hope that are helping millions heal & stay alive.

Healing and Homeopathy

with  Naturopathic Doctor, Homeopath JAYNE MARQUIS

“Informational Medicine.  Medicine that takes
information and changes disturbed information.  
That is going to be the future of medicine.” 
– Lynne McTaggart

Bachelor of Arts – Kinesiology, University of Waterloo
Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine – The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine
Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine – Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine

Doctor Marquis has always held the belief that we are more than meets the eye. She has studied several levels of Reiki, a form of energetic healing, and strongly believes that it is the energetic component that makes us human, alive and beyond just a physical body. She believes that disease often begins with an imbalance in emotion & energy that eventually affects us physically ….in ways that we are unable to see, but that are truly profound.

Like a tree, what we see is the trunk, the branches, the leaves, but what is equally important is what is not seen – the roots, the source of nourishment, security, and balance.

As a result of her intellectual curiosity for what is not seen Jayne chose to become a Homeopathic Doctor as well as a Naturopathic Doctor. She fell in love with Homeopathy while she was studying to become a Naturopathic Doctor. It was in her second year of Naturopathic Medicine she took a trip to India to introduce herself to Homeopathy and study under a master of Homeopathic medicine. The principles of Homeopathy resonated profoundly, as she had always held the belief that all physical ailments have a mental emotional component. Mastering Homeopathy requires you to listen to what is going on emotionally and energetically as well as physically. She was excited because it is an important medicine that works with the energetic part of us.

Homeopathy looks at the person in detail, and seeks to identify the complete picture, that which is seen, and that which is unseen.  The idea is to take the findings to match it to a remedy,…. using the principle of “like cures like”.

This was something Jayne was determined to master.  And so after becoming a Naturopathic Doctor she studied Homeopathy for two more years at the Ontario Collage of Homeopathic Medicine.  At the same time she worked with and learned from as many Homeopathic masters as she could…. including Jan Scholten, Louis Klein (3 year master clinician coarse), Rajan Sankaran, Franz Vermeulen, and more. She saw and experienced first hand the results of this simple but profound medicine in cases, in clinic, and most importantly with her own family.  Her respect, admiration and learning for this important medicine continues to grow.

Jayne truly enjoys being able to do something that she loves everyday – helping others in the pursuit of health and well-being. She feels there is a role for all medicine, Allopathic, Naturopathic medicine and homeopathy.

Her love for movement, and creativity helped her to achieve her goal of becoming a Canadian Ballroom Dance champion. Her love of fitness and of flying made her first a pilot and now a passionate participant in the sport of trampolining. Her experiences have brought her a special awareness of not only the needs of athletes, but also the need to treat us all like athletes. There is an important role for naturopathic medicine and homeopathy in this – to make the physical whole, balanced, fit, and complete. And on a deeper level to view that part of us that stops us from reaching absolute fulfillment/happiness, …by restoring that energetic part of us to balance, the body is given the tools to heal, thus allowing us to achieve complete health on all levels.

Jayne is a mother of two young children, giving her practical hands on experience with the highly safe and effective use of Homeopathy in everyday childhood ailments.  Seeing change immediately in many acute cases has made her a firm believer in the curative power of homeopathy. She has also used homeopathy successfully on dogs, cats and horses!

Jayne applies her experience, knowledge, passion, and dedication to her current practice and the treatment of every patient she sees.

Doctor Marquis, ND HD is a member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors and The Ontario Association of Homeopathic Doctors.

I am an author, travel writer and publisher.  For 35 years I enjoyed an award-winning career in advertising and public relations. In my retirement, I write travel articles which have appeared in The Los Angeles Times, Dallas Morning News, Boston Globe, and numerous travel magazines. My late husband, Howard Kirz, took all the photographs for the articles and stories. Along the way, we created White Dog Press, Ltd., inspired by our two West Highland White Terriers.

My newest book ‘Signs of Life, Love, and Other Miracles’ chronicles my quest to find a sign of life and love from my late husband and led me to the miracles of other people’s stories. I embarked on a journey to find out how people in the United States and in other cultures deal with death. Unable to sit in one place after Howard died, I traveled to escape from grief wandering to Mexico, Thailand, Wales, Egypt, and Italy. This book explores these cultures’ traditions in the backdrop of my emotional journey to seek the unexplained.

When I started mentioning that I was writing a book and did anyone have a similar experience of seeing or hearing a sign of life from a loved one, or friend, who has passed on, miracles started happening. Out of the blue, people instantly blurted out stories of their experiences, which, with permission, are shared in this book.

Your stories are precious gifts from the universe. Please, share one with me.

I am working on a new book currrently but here are some other books of mine at White Dog Press, Ltd.:
