2016 Speakers

Carla Bartolucci  
Carla Bartolucci discovered einkorn when searching for an alternative grain for her daughter, who was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. Einkorn has remained unaltered for thousands of years, which allows many, including Carla’s daughter–who suffered from mood swings, headaches, asthma, and digestive problems–to eat wheat without symptoms. Amazed by her daughter’s health transformation, Carla became a champion of this relic grain. As founders of the Jovial and Bionaturae organic food companies, Carla and her husband are now the largest growers of einkorn in the world. Carla and her family spend most of the year on a small farm in Italy, where she has eagerly learned traditional cooking from the older generation.

Del Bigtree
was an Emmy Award-winning producer on the daytime talk show The Doctors, for six years. With a background both as a filmmaker and an investigative medical journalist, he is best known for combining visually impactful imagery, raw emotional interviews and unbiased investigative research into stories that push the envelope of daytime television. Some of his most thought-provoking episodes include a rare televised debate between Monsanto’s head of toxicology Dr. Donna Farmer and GMO activist Jeffrey Smith and an exposé on a “gold standard” medical test that mistakenly indicts loving parents for child abuse, causing their children to be remanded to Child Protective Services.

When Bigtree began investigating the story of the CDC whistleblower and the fraud perpetrated by the CDC, he soon realized that he had stumbled upon a story of corruption and deception beyond any he had ever seen. Further investigation into the wrongful destruction of Andrew Wakefield’s career orchestrated by Big Pharma and the UK Department of Health inspired him to focus all of his attention on what he believes to be the most crucial documentary of the year. Bigtree is proud to have worked side by side with Andrew Wakefield, one of the most important minds of our time, to create a documentary that will not only alert Americans to the outright destruction of their civil liberties, but will lead the charge to demand the formation of a genuine independent research body conducting legitimate science to ensure that all vaccines are truly safe.

Mandy Blume, NRT

J. Whitehead said, “Children are the living message we send to a time we will not see.”

At age twelve, Mandy wanted to adopt a child. Learning there were 400,000 children in foster care was unthinkable! A dream took shape, with children filling up all the spaces. At California Polytechnic State University, Mandy graduated with degrees and obtained cooking and nutritional credentials, but the important stuff is the impact on foster children and foster homes.

 Mandy loves sharing the importance of the food we put into our bodies. If you want to be great, you have to eat great! After fostering many children and adopting, each child became her inspiration to step out into the world and share how we can heal with good food. A little two-year-old foster boy with cancer who called her mommy changed everything. Fighting a rare cancer, Dak passed away at four years old in her arms and his last words inspire Mandy today. Life comes with some powerful lessons. With experience, knowledge, and inspiration, Mandy continues to help kids and families through foster homes and realfoodrecovery.org. Currently an exciting initiative is underway that supports local farmers and feeds foster kids.  Authoring a healthful cookbook, Real Food Recover, as well as an encouraging book, How Our Family Survived: 10 Ways to Holistically Manage Cancer (and Fostering), are resources to fund this philanthropic program. Join Mandy to build bridges between us, blow the roof off fear and find ways to recover our children and the earth.

Ten species or animals are rotated through his pastures, which are all hand-butchered on the family farm.

In 2007, Will built a USDA-inspected, zero-waste, red meat abattoir on the farm.  It is state-of-the-art, one of only two in the country, and is operating at full capacity of more than 150 head per week.  In 2010, Will built a USDA-inspected zero-waste poultry abattoir on the farm.

Laura Hayes
is the mother of three adult children, all of whom suffered some level of vaccine injury, one to the point of permanent and severe brain damage and disability. For nearly two decades, she has worked to educate others regarding the dangers, inefficacies and lack of need for vaccines, and the corruption that underlies them, from manufacture to mandate, and beyond.

In the hopes of sparing other children and families from the devastation that vaccines leave in their wake, Laura has written numerous articles for the Age of Autism blog, done radio, TV and documentary interviews, spoken at rallies in California opposing vaccine legislation, sponsored speakers and documentaries in her area and more.

Laura would like to see vaccine mandates banned completely, the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act repealed (as it removed liability from those who make and administer vaccines), the 1905 Jacobson vs. Massachusetts decision overturned, and the full restoration of individual and parental rights with regard to medical decision making, including vaccination decisions. She would also like to see education campaigns that focus on time-proven and risk-free ways to protect, maintain, and enhance health, without the use of risk-laden vaccines. She contends that vaccine use must be eliminated, as humanity already faces an extreme uphill battle to try to recover from the damage already done by them.
