When I gently broke the news to the health world about the beloved Jeffrey Bradstreet, MD, shortly after his death, I never intended it to become some kind of series.
I was honored that the Bradstreet family reached out to me and publicly stated that, at the time, I was the only journalist they trusted and they did an exclusive interview with me (listed below).
I’ve had this site a mere 22 months, and I figured I’d write about delicious organic recipes, healthy alternatives for family meals or maybe something controversial like fluoride or vaccines. But never in my wildest dreams (or nightmares) did I think I’d be writing about the very doctors my better half (a well known holistic doctor) and I knew personally.
I have gotten to know family members and loved ones of several of the doctors who left this world too soon and I cannot imagine what they are going through, despite our many conversations and emails.
I appreciate all the media who have shared my stories; including the New York Times (who wrote me requesting information) The Guardian UK, and their network affiliates. Sadly, most just cover one doctor and seem oblivious to the fact that we now have a dozen doctors (in just over 90 days) who have been found dead, murdered or died mysteriously.
It was tough for me to gently break the news on all these stories, but I felt it was my duty. I’ve always stated that I don’t know if they’re connected but then and again I never imagined there would be this many.
Some of the biggest skeptics, who mocked me in the beginning, are now writing to me with their own theories and asking for answers. There have been theories from GcMAF (I don’t believe all the doctors used it) to CBD oil (I don’t believe all the doctors used this either) but I’m not sure there is a smoking gun.
All the doctors were either holistic or Osteopaths except for Ron Schwartz, MD (found murdered in his home here in Florida) and Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside, MD (found dead in the woods with a gun by his side) and local authorities called that a suicide; the local press there also called the investigation a “mess” which is listed and cited in the links below.
I admit I’ve neglected my own health to cover these stories which means I haven’t remained true to my authentic self. So I’ve assembled a team to help me keep up with the traffic on this site (I won’t deny it’s increased ten fold due to the stories I never intended to write) and I’m going to keep myself in check, while continuing to bring you the truth.
Obviously we have several unsolved murders here (and some alleged suicides, most still under investigation) and I sincerely hope they get to the bottom of this as again, we knew several of these amazing doctors personally.
Besides the fact that the majority were holistic, there is another common theme; they all cared deeply and were passionate about health. I have endless emails from their friends, patients, neighbors, loved ones, and family members and it’s clear they were adored by many.
I hope they are never forgotten and that others will carry on their work and not live in fear.
I admit I was scared for a while (being with a holistic doctor for so many years) but I quickly realized that was no way to live.
I am honored and humbled by the millions of people who have come to this site (sometimes that many in a day) to read these stories and my heart goes out to all the people whose lives these doctors touched. They were not only physicians but healers, some best selling authors and kind, caring people who have left this world a better place; I’m honored to have known some of them and am still studying their work today.
There are several of us who will continue to try and figure out what happened, whether it’s one big coincidence or the dreaded word everyone else uses that I don’t like to use…”conspiracy”.
Sign up for the newsletter for more information and stay safe and strong. While it’s always good to be aware I’ve learned that living in fear doesn’t help us at all. I’ll stay in the light and hope there are no more of these stories to write but rather the good news of these mysteries being solved.
See below for a detailed timeline. …. XO Erin Elizabeth
P.S. A zillion people keep asking me about when I’m speaking next. I’m going to be speaking with Dr. Mercola this Wednesday at a free and up close and personal event. No other speakers. We hope you can make it.
Thank you.
(P.S. Yes I’m working on an editor, I had over 600 respond when I asked for one on my Facebook page, so just give me a little time!)
1) June 19th, 2015 – Dr. Bradstreet formerly of Florida, and now practicing in Georgia, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest in a river. The small town locals ruled the death almost immediately as a suicide, but many have their doubts. This same day in Mexico, June 19th, 2015, three doctors were traveling to the State Capital to deliver some papers and were reported missing. This is the only case outside of the U.S.. Authorities said they found the bodies, but the families say those bodies look nothing like their family members and they are demanding more proof and more testing. A sad but riveting article was written about those details here. I also did an exclusive interview with the Bradstreet family as they publicly said I was the only journalist they trusted to talk about the horrific incident.
2) June 21st, 2015 –Father’s Day: Two chiropractors are found dead, Dr. Holt and Dr. Hedendal in Florida, both fathers and both died on Father’s day. Dr. Hedendal also held a PhD in nutrition from Harvard. Both were presumably healthy and described as very fit. There is still no cause of death listed, for either Dr., in the articles we find. A few people have contacted me about Dr. Hedendal, 67, but admit that they were surprised by his death and still find it shocking. (Update: Family and loved ones of Dr. Hedendal have spoken to the media that they are suspicious of his death and want answers. Interestingly, Dr. Holt (33), lived in North Carolina which is the state where Dr. Bradstreet’s body (the first doctor to be found) was discovered two days prior. Dr. Holt was visiting Jacksonville, Florida, though, when he died there. Dr. Bradstreet (see story #1) was living in Georgia at the time of his death and before that he lived in the neighboring state of Florida. A few mutual friends of Dr. Holt have contacted me. They are doctors and have shared with me a cause of death that I find rather shocking and cannot confirm, therefore, out of respect for the family, I will not list that here. Both were well loved by their patients, community, friends and family.
3) June 29th, 2015 – The beloved holistic Theresa Sievers, MD was found murdered in her home. Her co-worker says she was known as the “Mother Teresa of South Florida.” Her husband and children were in Connecticut at a family reunion when she was murdered. The authorities have been investigating for two weeks “around the clock,” and now say that she was targeted. Her murder was not random nor was it a home invasion and when the facts come out “…books and movies will be written about it.”, it’s that big of a story. On the very same day, June 29th, Jeffrey Whiteside, MD, a pulmonologist, went missing- vanishing when he simply “walked away”. Dr. Whiteside, known for his successful treatment of lung cancer, disappeared in Door County, Wisconsin while vacationing with family. He was on foot and numerous reports have called it “mysterious,” saying he vanished without a trace. They’ve been searching now for three weeks and even colleagues have joined in (along with bloodhounds, drones search parties, and helicopters) but not one shred of evidence has surfaced. (UPDATE: Two arrests were made in the death of Teresa Sievers and one of the assailants called himself the “Hammer” on Facebook (Dr. Sievers was allegedly killed with a hammer.). The other was one of her husband’s childhood friends who was just recently extradited to Florida. His attorney says there is evidence to show he had no involvement whatsoever with the crime. Her husband, Mark Sievers, has not been arrested at this time.
4) July 3, 2015 – Patrick Fitzpatrick, MD goes missing. He was traveling from North Dakota to neighboring Montana (which he did often as his son lives there) and his truck and trailer were found on the side of the road. The search has expanded but authorities say it’s as if he vanished without a trace. He’s 6′ tall and described as Irish-looking with a goatee (details can be found in the links).
5) July 10th, 2015 – Lisa Riley, 34 years old, DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine) is found in her home with a gunshot wound to her head. Her husband who found her and called 911, has a prior record. He was previously charged with the attempted murder of his ex, Ms. King, before charges were eventually dropped. Evidence showed that there was gun residue found on Ms. King’s hand and not Mr. Riley’s. Riley’s story corroborated this, but King’s allegedly didn’t, and her story kept changing (click link in this paragraph for their story with details on all of this). Mr. Riley has since been charged with the death of his wife, Lisa Riley. We’ll see what happens in court.
6) July 19, 2015 – A month to the day after the first doctor (Jeff Bradstreet, MD) was found dead with a gunshot wound to his chest, Dr. Ron Schwartz was found murdered in his E. Coast Florida home. Sadly, he was shot to death. We don’t know if he was holistic, but he was licensed and lived between Florida and Georgia. He was a gynecologist who lived in an unincorporated part of Jupiter, Florida on a few acres of land and there are reports he ran an organic lawn service on the side.
7) July 21, 2015 – Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, a holistic alternative MD, dies suddenly. I’ve met this brilliant man and my other half (also a doctor) had interviewed him several times. His official website says that while they initially thought it was a heart attack his autopsy does not support that belief and shows no heart attack. They are awaiting further tests. “Dr. Gonzalez was in excellent health otherwise so his passing is quite unexpected.” It is reported that he was alone at the time of his death. Countless people every week (including close friends) write me questioning the fact that he died “naturally”. He also said in several interviews (including the last one before he died) that he thought big pharma wanted him to get hit by a bus or that he might die suddenly. Frightening metaphors and a mystery we hope to get to the bottom of soon.
8) July 21st, 2015 – Dr. Abdul Karim, an outspoken and loved holistic (biological) dentist, 41 years of age, is found dead alongside the road by a passerby. He had been preparing for a half marathon and was allegedly out training that night. His old fraternity brother (lifelong friends), friends of many years, and patients said it didn’t add up. He was in perfect shape and ate an extremely healthy diet. Mainstream news said he had a “massive heart attack” but many who knew him have written to me with their sincere doubts.
8) July 23, 2015- Authorities announce they have found the body of Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside who has been missing for over 3 weeks. The article states, “Office confirms the body found in Door County Wednesday is Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside, bringing an end to a nearly 4-week search for the physician.” Chief Deputy Pat McCarty said at the news conference on Thursday that a .22 caliber gun was recovered at the scene. Investigators believe the body was there for “some time”.
10) August 12, 2015 – Osteopath Mary Bovier is found slain to death in her home in Pennsylvania. Her significant other, who we are told is also an osteopath, was questioned and released. At this time there have been no arrests and there are no suspects.
10) August 18, 2015 – I report that Jeffrey Whiteside’s death is officially ruled as a suicide. But the local press calls the investigation a “mess” (described here in detail). Many are shocked at how long it took for details to emerge and countless people write me with their doubts. Even local authorities were asked by the local press if they’d heard of my stories. They admitted they had, but hadn’t been contacted by the feds on the case.
11) September 7, 2015 – I announced the news of 29 holistic doctors (also referred to in the German press as homeopaths/ND’s/psychiatrists) who were found poisoned by an overdose of a hallucinogenic drug. I’ve done several updates of the articles, using a German translator, but the whole story of what really happened (did they take the drug knowingly or not and did they know what it was) still remains unclear. One thing most can agree on; it was a large overdose and mainstream German news reports that some were in “life threatening situations” when dozens of ambulances and a helicopter arrived to the chaotic scene. The good news? All lived and have allegedly made a full recovery (though some had to be restrained for their safety for some time).
12) September 16, 2015 – I reported that our colleague, best selling author and holistic MD Mitch Gaynor, is found dead outside his country home; an hour or so from Manhattan where he practiced. We knew Dr. Gaynor and had just finished an advanced copy of his book that he had sent to us. It was quickly called a suicide by the local sheriff. The NY Times wrote me asking for details and we had a nice exchange. Even though I have gently broken the news on this and many other stories, the NY Times fails to source me (I didn’t except them to source HealthNutNews though the Guardian UK and other mainstream sources have for some time).
13) Sunday October 11th – We announce that Dr. Marie Paas is found dead of an alleged suicide. She was an animal lover and advocate who was obviously well loved. People on her Facebook page seemed shocked and in disbelief about her death. Unlike the 3 others who were alleged suicides (one who has been officially confirmed, Whiteside MD) we don’t know the location where Dr. Paas was found, nor the details of her death at this time. I waited a few days before writing about this story as I was waiting for additional information, but none has yet surfaced. Many seem concerned for her pets who they say she loved very much.
