More than Half a Dozen Holistic & Alternative Doctors Found Dead in Summer of 2015 by Unknown Causes

""Since June 19th, eight medical/holistic/alternative doctors have been found dead, and at least four of these deaths are being treated as homicides. 

These deaths have perplexed and rattled people, especially those in the alternative medicine community, and everyone is wondering what exactly is going on. Are these deaths linked? 

We spoke with Erin Elizabeth (full interview is below), who first broke the story after the death of Dr. Bradstreet, to try to get a better scope of the situation. 

Her mind was reeling after she realized a pattern was emerging before her very eyes. Whenever she began trying to make correlations and connections, another death happened.

Erin is the well-known author and founder of HealthNutNews.com, and Dr.Mercola’s significant other. They personally knew some of the doctors, and after the first three deaths occurred she felt an obligation to keep reporting. 

Interestingly, mainstream media hasn’t really picked up the story and there are lot of questions that need answers. Authorities are still investigating and slowly providing details. 

A short timeline of events is as follows:

June 19th – Dr. Bradstreet (well known for his work and research on Autism) found dead in a river with a gun shot wound to his chest in North Carolina. Self-inflicted?

June 21st – Dr. Hedendal and Dr. Holt found dead on the East coast of Florida. Dr. Hedendal died in his car and  Dr. Holt’s death has yet to be determined.

June 29th – Dr. Theresa Sievers found murdered in her home. Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside goes missing. Reports say he just “walked away.”

July 10th – Lisa Riley found in her home with a gunshot wound to her head.

July 19th – Dr. Ron Schwartz found murdered in his home on the East Coast of Florida.

July 21st – Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez died as a result of a cardiac related issue.

July 23rd – Dr. Jeffery Whiteside is found dead in Door County with a .22 caliber close to his body.

Although the timing and similarity of these deaths could be coincidental, authorities are not ruling out a possible link, particularly considering five of the eight were found in Florida.

These doctors have left behind family, friends, and patients who trusted and respected them.

Your relationship with your doctor is an important one, sometimes they know more about you than even your loved ones do. It’s easy to understand the level of shock and sadness surrounding these deaths, and the desire to know more. 

Dr. Patrick Fitzpatrick is still missing. It’s been about 3 and half weeks since his truck was seen on the side of a road. He was traveling from North Dakota to Montana.

We will be doing a followup segment with Erin soon, as new details are emerging every day.""

Holistic Health Philosophy and Practice: So How Does Acupuncture Work?

""I was raised, like most everybody else, on the idea that diseases are to be attacked, usually by drugs or surgery. The more serious the disease, the more aggressive the attack should be. If you follow this thinking, minimally aggressive treatment, such as acupuncture, should be helpful only for very minor problems, and most of its effects would be “in the patient’s head.”

But that hasn’t been my experience. I have seen acupuncture help patients with serious problems, including those who were resistant to drugs and surgery: problems ranging from disabling headaches, digestive problems, back pain and sciatica, anxiety and depression — a whole range of conditions. While acupuncture is not the first choice for medical emergencies, it is a very effective and safe treatment for many conditions.

The most common question I get about acupuncture is, how does it work? I usually try to dodge the question by replying, “It works great!” The truth is, while I know how to do acupuncture, the basic concepts are foreign to those of us raised with medical care.

Acupuncture uses a type of healing that we Westerners are not very familiar with: the concept of chi, or life energy. Instead of seeing a disease as an entity that needs to be attacked, acupuncturists see it as an imbalance or blockage of this energy flow. The energy flow then can be restored by treating special points in the body. When the energy flow is restored, the body can finally complete the healing process.

When I put a needle in an acupuncture point in the foot — which, according to ancient principles, is supposed to treat a muscle in the groin — and the chronic spasm in that muscle, which had been resistant to chiropractic care, deep tissue treatment and stretching, relaxes instantly, I recognize there is something going on that defies easy explanation. I have seen similar, sometimes instant results with abdominal pain, headache, even sinus congestion. I have to believe there is a flow of energy from the point in the foot to the muscle in the groin, that this energy flow is very fast and piercing the point restored it — quite similar to electricity, really. Score another point for the chi theory.""
