Guest Biography:

Dr. Lippman first studied conventional medicine. She received her MD in 1973 from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. After a pediatric internship at LA County-USC Medical Center, she studied Adult and Child Psychiatry at UCLA and was Board Certified in each specialty.

Soon after, she became dissatisfied with the limitations of a purely psychiatric focus. She changed her practice from psychiatry to alternative medicine in Los Angeles in order to address the whole individual. That was 30 years ago.

Dr. Lippman is referred to as a medical resource in books authored by Suzanne Somers: Ageless, Breakthrough, and Knockout. She is also a medical resource in Jenny McCarthy’s book, Mother Warriors, and on McCarthy’s Generation Rescue website as well. Dr. Lippman is also a regular guest on TV and radio shows.

Guest Biography:
I received my Master's in Clinical Social Work from New York University in 2001 and am in private practice as a licensed and credentialed psychotherapist.   One of those over-educated persons, I have other degrees and certifications in music, art history, fine arts, computer graphics, and journalism.

I have lived in New York City for 30 years, and so have a deep and abiding sense of this amazing city that I adore, having seen and survived more than I sometimes care to remember, including the AIDS epidemic which claimed so many. My work with depression, death and dying, grief and loss stems directly from this experience, as does my focus on substance abuse recovery and sexual addictions. I have a strong understanding of the 12-Step Program and work with  people in early recovery, and with those with more time who seek to strengthen the deeper spiritual aspects of their program.

A Gender Specialist, I am a full member of WPATH (The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, formerly HBIGDA,) a global organization of trans-care providers. I've worked with people of trans and intersex experience for almost 15 years, providing assessments, diagnoses, referrals and ongoing therapeutic support before/during/after gender affirming transitions. I interface with surgeons, endocrinologists and other professionals, providing them with letters of recommendation for hormonal and surgical treatments, as well as ongoing aftercare support on a mental health basis. I'm also a member of the American Psychological Association.

I have many years of experience working as a clinician and consultant for a private employee assistance program on Wall Street, interfacing with employees, managers, and their Human Resources across the globe — I'm well-versed with the grief, fear and trauma arising from downsizing or the threat of it, while being faced with decimated departments and added responsibilities and hours.  Many are faced with difficult decisions about the current job, and my wish is that any decisions are made from as clear a mind as possible.  As well, I have a certification in life coaching, which is quite useful when working to seek such clarity and support change.

Having a deeply spiritual commitment to myself and others, I explore, study, and utilize various meditational and  contemplative techniques — sometimes called "mindful awareness" among other things — in my own life and in my therapy practice. I have privately studied Celtic Shamanism and Jungian dreamwork, and have a certification in Consciousness Studies from The Monroe Institute in Virginia.  For many years I have been working with other professionals in research and development in what might be termed  "paranormal phenomena"   — and have written and published in this area.

Danny Nalliah (born 1964) is an Australian Christian evangelist pastor and young earth creationist. He is the leader of Rise Up Australia, a prayer organisation, and the President of Catch the Fire Ministries. Danny Nalliah successfully defended a law suit commenced by the Islamic Council of Victoria under Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act and was awarded damages. In this landmark case, along with his colleague Daniel Scot, Nalliah was found not to have incited hatred under Victoria's then-new religious vilification laws. He has also been a candidate for the Family First Party. He was previously associated with the Australian Christian Churches.

Nalliah was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka. He was raised in a strongly religious family, and rose through the church ranks from youth leader through to becoming a pastor. He married in 1987, and his two children were born soon after. He continued to preach in the more remote regions of Sri Lanka until 1995, when he and his wife moved to Saudi Arabia. He spent two years preaching Christianity and attempting to circumvent the official ban on the religion in the Muslim state. However, in 1997, he decided to move to Australia and founded his own evangelical organisation.

After moving to Australia and founding Catch the Fire, Nalliah traveled extensively, preaching to congregations in a number of countries.

Guest Biography:

Best selling author, lecturer & research specialist Dr. Richard Alan Miller reveals a wealth and depth of knowledge and experience in three major fields; Alternative Agriculture, New Age Physics, and Metaphysics. Before many leading edge concepts became trendy topics, Miller was (and is) on the international front lines of research, experimentation and documentation.

Richard Alan Miller reveals a wealth and depth of knowledge and experience in Alternative Agriculture, New Age Physics, and Metaphysics.  Miller began working in the "X-Files" world in the 60s and has amazing experiences and conclusions to share.

An original team-member, "man-in-black," Miller's research in the field of Parapsychology & Paraphysics began as a graduate physicist working 11 years with Navy Intel.

Offering fresh perspectives on Metaphysical traditions his books, papers & articles include The Modern Alchemist; ESP Induction Through Forms of Self-Hypnosis, and "A Holographic Concept of Reality."

Richard Alan Miller has been at the forefront of many fields during his long and varied career. A solid-state physicist with graduate work at MIT, Miller was involved in groundbreaking work for cloaked agencies in the late '60s and '70s. A colleague of Dr. Stanley Krippner, Miller co-authored in 1973 the paper, The Holographic Concept of Reality - a document whose implications for psychoenergetic systems are only now beginning to be realized.

Like so many of the idealists of his era, Miller became quickly disillusioned with the severe ethical compromises forced on him by what he recognized as corporate manipulation. After a brief stint as an engineer at Boeing, Miller left the corporate world in disgust and entered the more spiritually satisfying world of the occult. He opened Beltane Books in Seattle and swiftly became " the Herman Slater of the West Coast." At this time he penned several works including his classic " The Magical and Ritual Use of Herbs."

Miller also co-authored, with his wife Iona, THE MODERN ALCHEMIST, hailed by Stanley Krippner as the most "illuminating" study of Alchemy since Carl Jung. Before its publication, Miller had used an electronic form of the book as teaching material for his on-line course in Metaphysics, taught on America Online.

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.

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: 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: Pediatrician, Healthcare Activist
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: 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.

BIO BELOW FROM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Grant

Victoria Grant, born in 2000 and living in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, is a young Canadian who in 2012 has become an internet celebrity after her bank critical speech was posted on YouTube by her father, Zane Grant. The speech was held at a conference organized by the Public Banking Institute in Philadelphia. That video, which during the first week was seen by 65,000 people and up to the beginning of september 2012 has been viewed about 700,000 times (in its English version), has also been translations into several languages, such as Spanish, German and Italian. The newspapers which has described the girl and her speech include the Huffington Post and Forbes. She has also been interviewed on RT (Russia Today), the second most watched foreign news channel in the United States after the BBC News, and there described as a "child economist". The debate and media coverage of the speeches have partly focused on the fact that Victoria Grant is so young and it has been questioned whether she really wrote the numbers yourself. But the articles has also, to some extent, been about substance, that is, the banking system. Among the more established monetary reformists who have praised her include Bill Still and Ellen Brown.
Her speech

Have you ever wondered why Canada is in debt? Have you ever wondered why the government forces Canadians to pay so many taxes? Have you ever wondered why the bankers from the largest private banks are becoming wealthier, and the rest of us are not? Have you ever wondered why the gross national debt is over $800 billion dollars? Or why we are spending $160 million dollars a day on the interest of the national debt? That is $60 billion dollars a year! Have you ever wondered who receives the $60 billion dollars? What I have discovered is the banks and the government have colluded to financially enslave the people of Canada.
