Donna Gates, a nutritional consultant, author and lecturer has helped thousands of people overcome candidiasis and other immune system disorders. Her book, "The Body Ecology Diet", was written after years of research to find a cure for her own candida-related health problems. Frustrated with conventional medicine, she embarked on a long course of study into many different healing concepts, including ancient Chinese medicine, macrobiotics, natural hygiene, raw foods and mega-supplement therapy. Incorporating the most beneficial components of each concept into her own system of health and healing, her success inspired her to share it with others. Much more than a "diet" Body Ecology offers a constantly expanding body of knowledge that focuses on the benefits of establishing and maintaining an inner ecosystem. Eating fermented foods and following the BED principles lays down a foundation for health that is essential to wellness. Body Ecology and Donna are frequently mentioned in the books of many other authors and in natural health magazines. She does radio shows and workshops to educate the public and is well-regarded for introducing Americans to new concepts and insights for using medicinal foods. She pioneered "young coconut kefir", a healthful, nutrient-rich drink. Donna's latest focus is on resolving the crisis of our children's health, and she is committed to preventing and overcoming autism. The "Body Ecology Diet" book has evolved into a complete system for rebuilding immunity, has sold over 180,000 copies, and is now in its Tenth edition. Learn more about your ad choices.

As a practicing veterinarian with over 20 years experience, Jane Charbonneau has been able to see firsthand, the power of the bond between people and their pets as well as the power that thought has to allow for profound healing in patients for which, medically, little hope could be given. These special pets and their people were the catalyst that started Jane's journey into learning as much as she could about quantum physics and healing through energy. These teachings have lead to working with Reiki and Shamanic Journeying to access the immense amount of help that is available in the "unseen" realms. Her distance healing technique is her own combination of visualization, intuition, Reiki and shamanic practice to make for a unique way to offer alternative healing. "My desire has always been to have my patients healed. After 20 plus years of using my logic-based left brain, I can now fully allow my intuitive right brain to participate. I love the way this helps me serve the animals and people I am privileged to work with." Jane divides her time between veterinary practice, the distance healing of Pet Energy Healer as well as a developing practice in Reiki and shamanic healing locally around her home near London, Ontario.

About Dr. Alan Gettis: There was something missing. Although he had degrees from four different universities and was schooled in psychodynamic, supportive, and cognitive behavioral therapy, there seemed to be a key ingredient that was lacking in his therapeutic approach to helping others heal and thrive. That was in 1969, when his search for the missing ingredient lead him to studies of world cultures in general and Zen in particular. As the years passed and he became steeped in stories and Zen wisdom, he knew he had uncovered an important method of helping people to get unstuck and feel happier. Yes, Dr. Alan Gettis believes wholeheartedly in the power of stories. Dr. Gettis spent two years as a Vietnam era army psychologist in the late 1960’s. In the 1970’s, he worked for seven years at a large mental health center as the Chief Psychologist. He is a clinical psychologist with graduate degrees from Central Michigan University, Utah State University, and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has been in private practice since 1974. He has also authored "Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up" (Trafford, 2004), and "Sun Faced Haiku, Moon Faced Haiku" (Brooks, 1982).

The Human Energy Field and Chakras: Chakras are spinning energy centers located within the subtle body of the auric field. They function as receivers and transmitters of life energy. There are seven primary chakras, aligned in a vertical column from the pelvic floor to the crown of the head. They form the main centers of a system that contains thousands of smaller energy points. This complex circuitry holds within it the keys to our evolution and "whole-ness." The term chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc. Descriptions of the chakras first appeared in the Vedas, ancient spiritual texts dating back to 2,000 B.C. Spiritual seekers used the chakras as a focus of meditation to raise consciousness.

Holy Eckert: As a certified trainer of Nonviolent Communication, I see every day how lives are improved whenever we move from a place of judgment to a place of compassion. Anger changes to curiosity, blame transforms to generosity, and suspicion evolves to trust. In 1999, I first felt the power of NVC as a way to increase the effectiveness and enjoyment of my parenting. Not only did I find an immediate improvement in my connection with my son, but in all my other relationships as well. Suddenly, I could show sensitivity to others without giving up my own needs. I had tools to deepen intimacy and resolve conflicts peacefully. I found more ease in everyday conversations. Through NVC, I have learned how to transform judgments of myself and others without giving up my values. This precious skill has helped me to be a better listener, to express myself more clearly, and to connect with the pure intention behind any action. Most of all, I have come to trust in every person's innate compassion and the unity of our human race. Whether you'd like to work on your relationship with the human race, or the one with your partner, your co-worker, your child or even your dog, NVC promises new insights and possibilities for understanding, good will, and co-operation.
