Dr. Bill hopes to finish a degree in naturopathic medicine as soon as time and travel allow, in the meantime, he will continue with his passion for research and publishing in the fields of health, agriculture, coral reefs, and GMOs.    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.

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.   Episode Links Visit Deborah Vidal and subscribe to this podcast!

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 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.   Episode Links   Visit Deborah Vidal and subscribe to this podcast!

Guest Info & Website 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.   Other links for things mentioned in show Dr. Morse Herbal Health Club https://www.drmorsesherbalhealthclub.com   John Rose YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/JRawRose   VidalSpeaks YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFYkmu9OmuGOicQeasjhZQg

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!   Links Mentioned In This Episode VidalSPEAKS Links Visit Deborah Vidal and subscribe to this podcast!

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.   Links Mentioned In This Episode   VidalSPEAKS Links Visit Deborah Vidal and subscribe to this podcast!

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!   Mentioned In This Episode Visit Deborah Vidal and subscribe to this podcast!

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.

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.

Deborah Vidal welcomes Martha Rosenberg to the Vidal Speaks podcast to talk about the truth about opioids. Opioids don't treat diseases or symptoms, instead, after a few weeks, they make the patient addicted. Like Vidal always says, “knowledge is power,” so listen to this podcast, get informed about opioids, be able to say no to certain prescribed medicines in certain situations and discover alternative medicines to treat chronic illnesses and pain. 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.   Outline of This Great Episode [9:26] Big Pharma, the story of its business success. [12:35] The Coca-Cola example of manipulation of information. [15:30] Big Pharma has invaded medical education. [18:09] People tend to believe doctors would not prescribe medicine if it was not safe.

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.

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.

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.   Get ready to learn the truth about the products you are buying.

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.   Outline of This Great Episode [11:15] Dr. Rachna Patel career briefing.
