Bogdan Chugunov

Bogdan Chugunov

As a cancer survivor I passed through a lot. After the tumor was surgically removed in 2005 my life has turned upside-down. Western medicine has not provided with any solution for how to stay in remission after the surgery. A chemo and radio-nuclear treatment are parts of a treatment, not a healing one I think. A preventive medicine in American transcription means to check up cancer development progress regularly performing colonoscopy and endoscopy as often as my health insurance permits.
I flew around the globe and visited those countries/regions/compounds where statistically the mortality rate caused by a gastric cancer stayed close to zero. I stayed at such places learning everything about those folks’ daily diets and found several ingredients local people consume regularly as their regular food that I believe prevents them from developing gastrointestinal cancer. Such countries/regions are New Zealand, Brazil, Turkey, Mongolia, Uruguay.
I changed my life and business course to natural supplements and functional foods importer/distributor. Later I became a brand owner of Bee Magic and Health Republic and brought several natural remedies to USA: Manuka honey, bee propolis extracts, Shilajit, Siberian cedar sap oleoresin, beaver castoreum, maral antlers, chaga and reishi mushrooms.
I do believe such remedies indirectly prevent human mutated cells from converting into cancerous stage. I've learned a lot about Manuka Honey (living in New Zealand), now I know how to identify real Manuka honey from a fake ( my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIo7IYRuFhkGiOUxvNz4kfw
tells you a little what I mean), I can tell about common tricks nowadays mass Manuka honey manufacturers use to keep their brand “competitive” on the US market and why FDA does not control the "Manuka honey" quality.
I'm proficient in another beehive product that human civilization has known for at least 4000 years - bee propolis and I can tell about what this strange looking natural substance is.
I can touch some sort of “witchcraft” ingredients such as beaver castoreum, maral antler's powder, reishi and chaga mushrooms, cedar sap oleoresin, to use as an alternative medicine. Based on my personal experience of being in remission for 17 years, I can talk about such products professionally because I consumed them daily and for a long period of time.
I can share such knowledge acquired from my own experience with a "Guiney pig" credentials .
Finally, I pose myself as a "laboratory rat" or "a rabbit" (Guinea pig in American translation) who tests all natural remedies for healing effect on myself before recommending it to people. I do consume several supplements and functional foods daily to heal: my broken leg, colon polyps’ development suppression, better blood circulation, and soft tissue recovery after surgery or mechanical damage. Willing to share my experience , results with interested parties.

Dr. Hesu Whitten has practiced in Santa Barbara since 1999. He has revolutionized the art of healing with his concept of the 'patient-driven' system, which allows the patient's body wisdom to direct the practitioner, through kinesiology, to the precise structural, nutritional and energetic therapies it needs to function more efficiently and heal. He has built a large YouTube following and taught his methods to hundreds around the world.

While at Parker College of Chiropractic, he became fascinated with an advanced system of muscle testing called Clinical Kinesiology (CK). After spending four years mastering CK, he realized that it was too complex for people to learn and utilize, so Dr. Whitten started developing his own healing system called The Whitten Method. His method took the work to a much deeper level, while utilizing much simpler techniques that can be easily taught. His years of work have been dedicated to developing the most advanced and comprehensive healing system available. This powerful modality provides practitioners with the ability to diagnose and correct imbalances and trauma with fine-tuned precision and thoroughness.

Margie Odom

For years, Margie Odom, M.Ed., LMFT, was on the diet roller coaster struggling with emotional eating and poor body image and could not find a diet that helped her succeed. She tried it all, so when nothing worked, she knew she had to dig deeper if she wanted a lasting change in her life. It was then that she realized she needed to come to grips with the weight that she carried within. As a therapist, coach, author and speaker, Margie helps others stop their emotional eating cycle by using her proven strategies that helped her find a solution to end her cycle of yo-yo dieting for good. Thanks to her book, "The Weight Within: Healing Emotional Eating from the Inside Out," and her coaching programs she has been able to help clients free themselves from the weight within and start living their best lives. Margie earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Emory University, completed her master’s degree in counseling at the University of Georgia, and completed her coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy at Western Kentucky University. Known for her honesty, humor, and passion for learning, Margie’s emotional eating clients benefit from her personal success and deep desire to share her creative programs with others. Her mission is to help as many people as possible break free from emotional eating and live the life they were meant to live. Learn more by visiting www.WeightWithin.com.

I am Sherisse Forrest, a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. As a wife and mom, I've always been adamant about holistic health. I didn't become passionate about hormones until I struggled with PCOS, Gestational Diabetes, and Insulin Resistance. Given no viable options, I was forced to research and heal myself holistically. I'm now passionate about sharing the research I discovered, and what has worked for me.
