In this episode I am having a conversation with documentary director Maryam Henein. Maryam directed the documentary film "Vanishing of the Bees". It's available on YouTube with ads. I will drop a link below. * I first found Maryam when she appeared on one of my favorite YouTube shows called "The Union Of The Unwanted" where a bunch of alternative media show hosts and researchers get together every other Monday and hang out to talk about current things going on in the world. * * Here is Maryam's Bio: * My quest down the path of health and wellness began 15 years ago. You would never know by looking at me, but I was hit by a Ford Explorer at 45 miles an hour and then dragged 49 feet while negotiating a crosswalk. I broke my left femur, tailbone, L-1, and five ribs. I was outfitted with a 14-inch metal rod and it took me a year to walk again without a cane or a limp. The trauma I endured led me down a windy path of medical treatments and self-discovery. * As a journalist, I used to investigate the underbelly of Los Angeles as well as the human psyche. But in a quest to heal, I found myself delving into alternative medicine and using my investigative chops to figure out the root causes behind my health issues. It’s so wild how many of us blindly listen to our doctors when in reality, Western medicine has such a blinkered view of things. They compartmentalize body parts and symptoms instead of looking at human health from a holistic perspective. * I became both a scientist and guinea pig. I fused solid research with first-hand experience and not only became quite knowledgeable, but also healed myself and became a holistic health advocate! I found myself in the aisles of Whole Foods sharing my knowledge with strangers. * And then in 2007, the bees literally flew into my life and gave me a bigger purpose. The bees pulled the curtain and exposed the wizards of Big Ag. Just like you, I didn’t know that beekeepers zig zagged through America with semis full of bees from one monoculture to the next. I gained a whole new perspective about our food supply. * If (organic) food is thy medicine, then the rapid spread of industrial agriculture and the increasing standardization of the food industry is our downfall. Chemicals are killing bees and beings, monocultures are breeding super bugs and killing biodiversity, genetically modified foods are making us sick and ruining our seeds, and factory farms are causing wide spread antibiotic resistance and causing unbelievable pollution. The paradigm shift must happen NOW. * * Maryam runs an online store called "HoneyColony" it's more than just another online natural health store. * HoneyColony seeks to save you years of anguish by giving you access to solid information and allowing you to connect with others who have undergone similar health challenges. We modeled our platform after the bees and with your help, it will be a fully functioning hive where people can communicate and find each other. Swarm intelligence delivers the truth. We gather nectar and pollen in the form of information and organic products that do not kill you. * If you you use this link you will get 15% off of their best selling products: * http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=940710&u=2734188&m=53676 * Coupon Code At Check out: nwtgbupod * * The YouTube Link to "Vanishing of the Bees": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ddWBEHlpo&t=169s * * You can check out articles that Maryam has written here: * https://www.activistpost.com/tag/maryam-henein * * You can find Maryam here: * Gab: https://gab.com/LadyBee * GabTV: https://trends.gab.com/user/LadyBee * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaryamHeneinbeelady2/ * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/maryamhenein * Websites: https://www.honeycolony.com/ * https://simplytransformative.com/ * * Book Suggestion: Conscious Loving * Podcast Suggestions: David Asprey Podcasts, Tim Ferris Four Hour Work Week. * * Please Help Support My Vision Here: * If you like what I'm doing and creating and have been wondering how you can get involved and help support my vision.
