Immunization laws, vaccine ingredients, and industry marketing tactics designed to increase sales will also be discussed. Can vaccines cause autism, diabetes, and sudden infant death?

Mike Adams, Health Ranger *Awaiting confirmation of participation*

Mike will teach via Skype from Ecuador

The son of a Pfizer contractor and a clinical trial tester for some of America's biggest pharmaceutical companies, Mike grew up using prescribed pharmaceuticals, trusting doctors and believing what the FDA reported was safe and in the best interests of the country. All that would change when Mike was faced with his own personal health emergency, and the pillars of medicine he once trusted came crumbling down before him.  At the age of 30, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a disease brought on by poor diet and severe lack of exercise.  As a high-powered software executive, extreme levels of stress and cholesterol, depression and chronic back pain were common features of Mike's past. Searching for answers to his health woes, Mike dove into research; he devoured thousands of books on nutrition, pharmaceutical drugs, wellness programs, the politics of food - anything he could find.

Mike has now made it his life mission to share the most remarkable discovery he made on his quest: the vast majority of all diseases can be easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery. And that’s exactly what Mike did.  He cured himself of diabetes in a matter of months and transformed himself into the picture of perfect health in mind, body and spirit. When Mike first began to discover all the life-changing information about health, he thought few people would believe what he was telling them. In order to gain credibility, he first had to prove that his own ideas about health were valid. So Mike decided to put them to the test by transforming his physical body into the healthiest patient any doctor had seen.

Through his own program of outstanding nutrition, careful food choice, and the outright avoidance of a few key dangerous ingredients (you can see them all covered in his book, Grocery Warning), he was able to dramatically revolutionize his own health. Mike dropped 50 pounds of body fat. His LDL cholesterol plummeted to 67. His resting pulse plunged to 48. His back pain disappeared, and he felt absolutely reborn at the age of 32.  Mike was in perfect health. To prove these results, Mike had his blood chemistry analyzed by a local medical lab, and posted all his results online for everyone to see. All results are 100% verifiable and on-file with his naturopathic doctor.

Emboldened by his own experience of health transformation, Mike continues to explore and share the truths of natrual nutrition, disease, health and healing. Over the last several years, he has spent more than 10,000 hours studying the true causes of disease vs. health. With the help of his extensive private research library, Mike Adams has authored more than 1,600 articles on health, interviewed today's greatest pioneers in alternative medicine, and completed dozens of books and special reports on the subject.

Since then, Mike has founded www.NaturalNews.com, an online news source covering all areas of personal and planetary wellness from nutrition to renewable energy.  Here, he’s written thousands of articles and built a following of over 800,000 people across the globe. Mike has also founded a non-profit organization, The Consumer Wellness Center, an online retail center, Better Life Goods, and the popular publishing company, Truth Publishing.  Mike speaks frequently at national and local gatherings like the Amazon Herb Summit and the Raw Foods Challenge in Los Angeles. Speaking from personal experience and extensive research, Mike has touched the hearts and changed the lives of thousands of people around the world.   Adams is a raw foods enthusiast, an organic gardener, and a holistic nutritionist. He eats no processed foods, dairy, sugar, meat from mammals or food products containing additives such as MSG.

Adams has been called "the best health and natural products writer on the scene today" and has openly recommended hundreds of health and green living products without any compensation or kickbacks. He adheres to a strong ethical code and practices the lifestyle he teaches.
