One of my top and most distinguished guests on today is Dr Andrew Heyman, internationally recognized as a researcher, thought leader and specialist of Integrative Medicine.

Many suffer symptoms and illness frequently deemed a mystery illness with misdiagnosis or no diagnosis. The underlying cause is well known and with great scientific basis. The issue of biotoxin illness is highly viewed with disdain by the contemporary medical world but the science is overwhelming. Dr Shoemaker is the leader in research of biotoxin illness and CIRS who’s ongoing research can be found in the resources of

Survivingmold.com 

https://www.survivingmold.com/legal-resources/actino-central

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.

Jonathan is passionate about raising awareness on the benefits of plant medicine therapy, and its potential to improve wellbeing and mental health

Mr DePotter and Dr Pinkston discuss the up and coming scientifically based use of plant based medicinal therapies and guided transformations for increasing self awareness in the hunt for health and happiness, living life at the highest spiritual level possible. In his life and studies, Jonathan felt that – despite an objectively great life, good friends and career success, something intangible was missing. As a result, Jonathan took a sabbatical year to travel through South America, where he attended his first Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat in Peru. The retreat experience was transformational, and in his expanded state of consciousness, Jonathan was shown directly the mindsets and behaviors that were keeping him from reaching his potential. Returning to the corporate world, Jonathan was surprised to find he was more patient, empathetic and productive than ever before, and began researching the world of plant medicine, and facilitating retreats.
