Season 6 Episode 2 - The Explosion of Roots in Naturopathic Medicine with Dr Rick Kirschner

Send a textThis episode, The Explosion of Roots in Naturopathic Medicine with Dr Rick Kirschner, is about naturopathic medicine coming back to its roots rather than hoping to substitute natural remedies in allopathic care.This is so important to Rick and other doctors that they have formed the Naturopathic Medicine Academy to bring our medicine home, back to its original basis for healing with nature. One of the problems with allopathic medicine is that it is based on toxic substances. And one of the big problems with naturopathic medicine currently is the reliance on allopathic medicine to define itself.Dr Rick Kirshner is a best selling author, filmmaker, speaker, educator, vitalist naturopathic physician, past president of Naturopathic Medicine Institute and current president of Naturopathic Medicine Academy. His website is talk natural.com where you can watch his documentary- How Healthcare Became Sickcare, the True History of Medicine.Please support the show!

Send a textThe Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, a full-length radio play, tells the story of Avi Noam Gross—my late husband—whose life ended due to a medical error. It weaves this painful narrative with his music, because I needed a way not only to tell what happened, but to honour Avi’s extraordinary musicianship.Avi was a gifted composer and pianist. He completed his thesis on Bill Evans at the University of British Columbia, and his instrumental album Sophie’s Heart is currently streaming. This piece features his standalone songs as well as music from our original musicals, The Calling Hour and Meshugeneh, the Musical. The Old Show had already been written, and we were on the verge of workshopping it when Avi received the Tdap vaccine and suffered a catastrophic reaction.I won’t go further into the details here—you know the story does not end well.With The Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, I hope you will come to know what happened to an extraordinarily talented, humble, and deeply intelligent man—one who was often misunderstood because of his unique nervous system, which placed him on the autism spectrum. It will be three years this Valentine's Day that Avi passed. With any luck he's hanging out with Bill Evans. Deep thanks to my friends who helped with the show in some way: Josea Cooper, Walt (guitar) Aly, Shirley Perry, sound engineers MG ( flute), KvH, CM, as well as Michelle, and Paul J. Gratitude to my LA solo coach Jessica Lynn Johnston and Mira Wilder especially instigating the change of focus of the show.

Send a textHaving a great interest in mind control, I discovered Jason Christoff at NCI - National Citizens Inquiry - an amazing Canadian people-led group diving into what went wrong during Covid. The present theme and question is  Are children safe in Canada? (I spoke on the Flexner Report of 1920 in Edmonton in March 2025. The Flexner Report sabotaged our medical system by making our health care solely allopathic, excluding systems of medicine such as homeopathy, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, midwifery and traditional  osteopathy.)         Jason has spoken on the subject of mind control at the US Senate and at the EU, Japanese and Romanian Parliaments. Jason operates an international psychological reprogramming institute where he teaches health professionals and members of the general public how to use positive forms of mind control, to make their lives (and the lives of their patients) better.Jason is set to release his first documentary titled PLANET MIND CONTROLthis fall, 2025. In order to win the battle we're all in today Jason believes that each citizen must educate on the basics, in relation to how mind control works and how to avoid becoming a victim of it.Victimhood is another topic I hope to discuss through this podcast as I regain equilibrium after my husband's death by medical error. To that end my one woman show will start off as a radio play. I hope to have it ready to air by October 2025.This journey of grieving has been intense and I want to thank so many- family, friends, strangers, new friends from Har El, the grief group out at N Van City Library as well as PJ and Beau for almost daily walks. And NCI for hope and strength to get our world on a better course. So much love, so much support has come my way...and I am sooo grateful.Jason grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia so this episode is dedicated to my cherished Maritime sisters and brothers and friends, who are confined by the ridiculous edict to not go into the woods today. Much love to all and please pray for attorney Reinier Fuellmich who is imprisoned in Germany for political reasons.Relevant books for this episode include: Rape of the Mind by Joost Merlo 1950s psychiatristAnything by Hannah Arendt, German Jewish American, probably the greatest philosopher of the 20th centuryEssays and books by Matthias Desmet, Belgian profesSupport the show#trauma #medical error #music #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

Send a textThe deep healing that can occur through the Expressive Arts is only beginning to be acknowledged. In this episode I speak with solo show coach Jessica Lynn Johnston. She was my acting coach and director in my last solo show, Hidden. (See heatherherington.com for review).Writing my novel Flawed was lifesaving when I felt burn out from treating sexual abuse survivors as well as treating PTSD, addiction, autoimmune and so on for so many years. It allowed me to expresss emotion through my thoughts and ideas, helping me discard stress through creativity. And I kept writing whether it was the librettos fro Avi and my musicals or radio plays, essays and finally the books, Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor and Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE. But for me performing solo shows has been the pinnacle. With Avi writing my tunes and singing them on stage while acting out my own sexual assault and embodying characters that supported my emotional recovery generated a healing so profound that I was actually shocked. And now years later I am creating a show about my late husband Avi Noam Gross who died from hospital error. And so with my acute grieving having subsided I am excited to bring my workshop back. Originally a retreat and called Moving the Pelvis to Healing, I am now naming it, Transforming Trauma through the Expressive Arts. And this is why Jessica was a good person to interview as she has helped thousands of people, teaching them, coaching them, aiding them in transcending major bumps in their lives. You can reach her at [email protected] or visit her website SoaringSoloStudios.com.For information on my workshop to be held on the North Shore of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, please email [email protected],May you have a happy day! xoSupport the show#trauma #medical error #music #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

Send a textWow, it's almost a year since I have done a podcast...hard to believe...what a joy!Thank you so much for tuning in; I hope this finds you well and enjoying life, even with all it's insanities...This episode grew out of my meeting Shawn Buckley - lawyer and organizer extraordinaire - at NCI- National Citizen's Inquiry. He has done an excellent job there along with his wife Theresa and Ted Kuntz (see an early episode on Dr Heather Uncensored) and so many others...it is SO exciting to know this organization exists. I spoke at the event  held in Edmonton in March. That conference was titled Are Children Safe in Canada? As an expert witness I spoke on The Flexner Report of 1910 and how that has sabotaged our right to a full spectrum of healthcare.There were many others over that 3 day, 12 hour event...People like the hockey play Fleury spoke on sexual abuse by his coach; First Nation elders spoke on human trafficking; a mother who lost her daughter to a Covid vaccine, and so many more...The next NCI is in June in Ontario. Go to nationalcitizensinquiry.orgI trust you will enjoy this first episode in almost a year!

Send a textThe times are fraught with lies and confusion. I am excited to be speaking to Margaret Anna Alice who is another truth seeker and teller. Smart, unabashed, she tells it like it is without fear. She is very good with words like philanthropath - a psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist. An example of this is Bill Gates.Basically she likes to unmask totalitarianism by examining media narratives propaganda, neuropsychology, framing, philosophy, literature and culture.Join us as we celebrate the term apocaloptimist, Assange's freedom and so much more.PS: Be good to yourself, help the world step into true freedom and profound joy. PPS:  Check out Avi Gross's music on Spotify etc. His instrumental album, Sophie's Heart, is so beautiful.PPPS: Support Bobby Kennedy for president!!!Support the show#trauma #medical error #music #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

Send a textThis episode talks about grieving and how and why an approach using both naturopathic medicine and the expressive arts can keep you balanced and sane, literally in this difficult but precious time. Grieving the loss of a loved one is not easy work. This is why it's so important to do whatever you can on your own to balance your body and mind in every way you know how.  My book Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to heal PTS and ACE (Adverse Childhood Events) that ironically came out a few weeks before my husband went in the hospital there is a lot of information and measures offered to  maximize the best health possible, ensuring metabolic pathways get what they need to do the best job whether optimal nutrition,  supplementation, help in digestion and sleep, and so on. If we alternatively we comfort ourselves with sweets or late nights or other draws we can soon take a deep dive in our emotions and mental health.  I know it's not easy, I'm going through it myself, but what choice do we have? It can be a fine line between sanity and mental imbalance all the while you're in the midst of deep grief. By tending to our needs with a bit of care we feed healthy metabolic avenues that affect the brain and help instead to calm the intense emotions that accompany grief and often shock, even if you thought you were preparing for the inevitable. Knowing how to take care of yourself on the physiological level can mean making or breaking the psychological level. If we can make choices that give us both comfort and nutrition we can maintain or gain enough energy to feel the loss instead of simply jumping back into bed and pulling the covers over your head waiting for the pain to recede. (Although you can do that if you need to, you will most likely crater further which will lead to exhaustion and depression.) And this is when the expressive arts come into play, by choosing to write or sing or act or draw or sculpt we allow our creativity to take us to understand our loss, giving your grief a voice as you allow yourself to feel your emotions, tending to your grief,  and in time move forward. Yes it means focus and work but this is very special journey, and as you feel and grieve your loved one you also feel the gratitude of the time you had together. That's the loss, the joy and comfort, and familiarity, whether you are grateful for their laughter or theirSupport the show#trauma #medical error #music #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

Send a textThis episode completes the tragic story of Avi's passing by hospital error.  This is Part 2.Although the cause of his original problem was TDap vaccine we did get him well after two heart attacks and a stroke. There was nothing wrong with his brain and his heart and body were healing after we initially got him well with homeopathy and botanicals and music. He was set to come home the day he died. The point of this episode is to encourage anyone who has experienced a fatal hospital error of a loved to talk about it, write about it, do a solo show about it. We need all of our stories in order to change the way hospitals operate. We must have access to natural medicine, to homeopathy in particular in the ICU. Once you experience what can be done to help alleviate suffering through these methods, to see how a person can get out of an induced coma we must realize this is our inherent right. To use what we know to heal. Overturn the upshot of the Flexner Report. Bring back natural medicine to all phases of healing. Have a well-trained homeopath and naturopathic medical doctors at all hospitals. With our health or sick care system crumbling we must have alternatives, we must make our way to a whole new paradigm in hospital care, let alone any other care.Have a blessed week and thanks for listening!XOdrheatherherington.com.  e: [email protected]. Support the show#trauma #medical error #music #musicals #originalsongs #autism #soloshows #NationalCitizensInquiry #Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

Send a textThis story is mine but what I have realized over the last 14 months is how many people have a similar one. Our hearts have broken, losing a loved one, due to ineptitude, exhaustion, ignorance and/or prejudice. The fact that natural medicine is basically banned in hospitals at least in North America is no longer acceptable. Natural medicine must be included whether through homeopathy, botanical medicine, organic and optimal nutrition, hydrotherapy, visualization and so on.I have been outraged to hear so many have a similar story. As a naturopathic medical doctor my husband could have lived many many more years with how I was helping him even on the sly. Truly we have the tools to help others even in a dire hospital setting.As you will hear homeopathy did come to the rescue, the added supplements and botanicals from general naturopathic medicine did strengthen him. But then ...in the end, hospital procedure ruled Avi's fate. In this episode I can finally speak of the tragedy that I went through. It was such a shock because he died on the day he was to come home after almost three months in the hospital. I am on the road now looking for my next home (and garden) and so the usual additions such as music and sound effects have not been included.
