The Body-Mind Self, and the epigenetics of our culturally learned beliefs upon our health and quality of life

Dr. Mario Martinez is a clinical psychologist specializing in psycho-neuroimmunology and anti-aging. For the past couple decades, he has been developing the discipline of cultural psycho-immunology as a mind-body theory that explains how our thoughts and their biological expression co-emerge within a cultural environment and history, which in turn affect our immune, nervous and endocrine systems. This model is called Cultural Psycho-neuroimmunology. He is the founder of the Biocognitive Science Institute in Montevideo, Uruguay, which is now in Nashville Tennessee, and conducts research, lectures and offers seminars in Biocognitive principles and mind-body techniques. Dr. Martinez was the first to outline a blueprint for a new paradigm on the epigenetic relationship between the cultural beliefs we hold and the quality of our health. His latest book is “Mind-Body Self: How Longevity is Culturally Learned and the Causes of Health Inherited.” More about biocognitive mind-body science, workshops and events can be found on the Institute's website at www.BioCognitive.com

William ("Bill") Binney

William Binney is a former high placed intelligence officer in the US National Security Agency, or NSA, where he was a technical director in charge of a department of several thousand employees engaged in military geopolitical intelligence analysis and the creation of the NSA’s mass surveillance program. After working with the agency for over 30 years, Bill resigned and turned whistleblower over the unconstitutional and illegal mass surveillance and spying of American and foreign citizens. He has been described as one of the best analysts in NSA’s history. Prior to his tenure at the NSA, Bill worked with the Army Security Agency and was a Russian specialist. He is a harsh critic of the US government spying on its citizenry and has been outspoken regarding the US’s demise into a police state comparable to the KGB, Stasi and Gestapo, and that the government’s massive data collection of phone intercepts, emails, tracking cameras and other spying mechanisms is part of a bigger mission to ultimately have control over the population. Mr. Binney has been featured in numerous publications around the world, including Der Spiegel, BBC, USA Today and other media sources. Today he continues tirelessly to bring attention to the American people and other nations the massive scope of US intelligence spying and surveillance and the erosion of democracy making room for a totalitarian police state.
