The workers at Destiny Rescue (www.destinyrescue.org) would probably be embarrassed by the title of this podcast. They don't consider themselves heroes but in 26 years they have quietly rescued 28,000 people (mainly female children) from sexual exploitation and slavery and assisted them in finding new lives with dignity. They have remarkable success even though the odds are heavily stacked against them. A healthy society is as strong as its weakest group of people. They are heroes.

Windows to the soul has been the popular vernacular that has kept us enveloped in a sense of mysticism when we think about the human eye. This of course has nothing to do with Iridology, the study of the iris and the sclera which can help us to understand our individual vulnerabilities. Iridology helps to map out who we are both physically and mentally which gives a holistic therapist a blueprint to start from. Toni Miller ( iridologyonline.com) from Australia is a leader in this field and she is joined by her student/colleague from the USA Christine Carter with husband Bill.

Like many, Michelle Grace Hunder felt coerced into having her vaccine. She thought it essential for her industry and career. Michelle has always been active and healthy and did not expect the vaccine to impact her health so dramatically.

Fortunately, Naturopath Steph Gadsden has had much experience with chronic and adverse reactions and together the road to recovery was walked.
