Dr. Irina Matveikova, is an internationally recognized teacher and lecturer in digestive health and functional nutrition. She speaks to us from her clinic in Barcelona, Spain, explaining what can go wrong with our digestion, why, and how to fix it. Medically trained, but with an alternative perspective, she provides a balanced and integrative view of the best ways to bring the body back into balance and halt or even reverse the ravages of ageing and the modern lifestyle.

Today we’re going to discuss her book, Digestive Intelligence, a Holistic View of Your Second Brain.

James Maberly is an Artist, a Social Entrepreneur and a Writer. Born in Kenya and brought up in Zimbabwe, he served in the British army, worked in Africa then moved to the UK to pursue a career in art. James reached a point when he realized he was making art to suit the market rather than to express his spirit. He recognised that he was too tied to convention, too stuck in a ‘traditional’ mind-set, following rules and guidelines that restricted his progress. As he began to change the rules, so he began to see how so many others were caught in the same trap. He decided to write about it in his new book, “Why Follow Rules? Trust your Intuition.”

What if the historical Jesus of Nazareth was actually a Jewish preacher and freedom fighter who was born a generation earlier? What if Paul or his disciple wrote the Gospel of Mark to whitewash Paul's crimes and legitimize his break from the actual teachings of Jesus? Lifelong biblical scholar and former forensic auditor Dan Unterbrink cites chapter and verse among the historical texts to make a very substantial and convincing case that this was indeed true.

The evidence is laid out in his book, Judas of Nazareth - How the Greatest Teacher of First-Century Israel Was Replaced by a Literary Creation.

Induced after-death communication (IADC) is a real breakthrough in the fields of grief and trauma therapy. Allan L. Botkin, a Doctor of Psychology, worked for 20 years at a VA hospital and specialized in treating PTSD among combat veterans. He discovered that a variation of EMDR, or eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, reliably induced after-death communications in his patients, giving them dramatic relief from the anger, guilt and sadness they had been carrying. He has since expanded the use of the technique with impressive results, which are described in his book, Induced After Death Communication.

Dr. Botkin’s websites are induced-adc.com and for veterans and their families: healingafterthewar.org

Radical Remission by Kelly Turner

What is the next evolutionary stage of humanity? Ted Chu has some surprising answers. A world-class macro economist, futurist and former chief economist at General Motors and the Abu Dhabi investment Authority, he is currently a professor of economics, but for the last 15 years his second career has been focused on the philosophical dilemmas raised by today’s transhumanist movement and humanity's place in the universe. He is the author of Human Purpose and Transhuman Potential: a Cosmic Vision for Our Future Evolution (March, 2014, Origin Press)

Kelly Turner, Ph.D., is a researcher, author, and lecturer in the field of integrative oncology. She received her B.A. from Harvard University, and did her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, where her dissertation focused on the Radical Remission of cancer, which is a remission that occurs either in the absence of Western medicine, or after Western medicine has failed to achieve remission.

The Radical Remission Project, which she founded, is an innovative website dedicated both to collecting new cases of Radical Remission for research purposes, and to connecting Radical Remission survivors with current cancer patients. Her new book, RADICAL REMISSION: The Nine Key Factors That Can Make a Real Difference, encapsulates the fascinating findings of her research.

Our guest is Katherine Agranovich, a native of Minsk in Western Russia near the Polish border, a town that was devastated by the Nazis in WWII. In 1992, at the age of 22, she emigrated to the United States with her family to escape unrelenting discrimination against Jews, which ranged from bullying as a child to being barred from medical school despite having achieved the highest grades. A feisty, yet deeply spiritual woman, Katherine is on a mission to share the remarkable insights she has received through her family members, both living and passed on. Her first book Tales of My Large, Loud, Spiritual Family: Finding Peace, Purpose and Healing in the Chaos of Daily Life, recounts her ‘American Dream’ life with her husband Felix and their five children, and her journey of discovery about life, healing and being open-minded about things of the spirit.
