In Episode 207, we revisit our exceptional episode featuring premiere homeopath, Dr. Dana Ullman, as we highlight the effectiveness of remedies to help those grieving and in pain.
In an effort to replace allopathic (prescription medications) with non-addictive remedies, I recommend you take the time to learn about homeopathy and find a homeopath with the designation “CCH” (classically certified homeopath) who is either near you or welcomes online patients.
It is an exceptional way to treat yourself and your family members for both emotional and physical pain.
In Episode 194, I speak with Amy Neville, who founded the Alexander Neville Foundation after the fentanyl poisoning death of her son at the age of 14.
We speak extensively about Alexander’s growing up years, how her family is coping with his death, her own grief and especially about the amazing advocacy work she is doing to create awareness and to educate young people and their parents about the danger of fentanyl.
She has also made herself available to speak both one-on-one with bereaved parents and those who have questions, but also in the community helping them better understand how deadly this drug is and how dealers use social media to get this illicit, illegal and counterfeit drug into the hands of our young people.
Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death in 15-48 year olds.

In Episode 193, I share my second conversation with Michael J. Gray, Founder of The Fentanyl Awareness Coalition and the Actus Foundation, who discusses his plan to significantly decrease fentanyl deaths in children starting at age 12 and offers his paradigm shift to fight this epidemic.
Last year over 110,000 children, teens, and adults died from fentanyl poisonings from illegal, counterfeit pills and powder and it’s believed the numbers are even higher.
Most victims died after taking only ONE pill, ONE line of cocaine, ONE high of heroin, ONE laced joint. They didn’t know that the drug they bought on the street was deadly and NOT what they expected it to be.
Please get educated about this scourge on society and teach your children that anything other than a prescription from a doctor can be deadly.

In Episode 192, I speak with Michael J. Gray, Founder of The Fentanyl Awareness Coalition and the Actus Foundation, who discusses the death of his daughter, Amanda to fentanyl poisoning.
Next week in Part II we will speak about Michael’s advocacy work to help young people better understand the incredible danger of this poison and how by using just once can kill them if they take a pill or other drug laced with fentanyl.
We spent this session speaking about Amanda’s young years, how her mental health declined and how her family was affected.
I am thankful for Michael’s candid sharing of their struggles and how he is dealing with his grief after his daughter’s death.

In Episode 191, I speak with Jaime Puerta, Co-Founder of VOID (Victims of Illicit Drugs), who discusses the death of his son, Daniel to fentanyl poisoning.
He graciously agreed to speak with me about his horrific experience finding his son in his room early on the morning of April 1, 2020. Daniel had taken only one half of what he thought was an oxycodone pill but instead it was laced with fentanyl.
On April 5th, Daniel was taken off life support.

Since that time, in addition to his grieving process, Jaime co-founded an advocacy group to help other families learn about the dangers of obtaining drugs online through SnapChat, a social media platform which erases correspondence very quickly.
Young people are buying drugs from dealers who claim to be giving them the drug they ask for, but instead, are selling them a deadly pill.
We also speak about Jaime’s advocacy work and the documentary by Dominic Tierno and Christine Wood entitled “Dead On Arrival” exposing the illegal drug trafficking of fentanyl from Mexico and four parents who tell their painful stories of how this claimed their children’s lives and the affects on their families.
