MARIANA’S FULL TEDx TALK:
Late Feb 2024:
November 2023 Dr. David Martin with Russell Brand:
Matt Hoy was born and raised in Birmingham, UK and he’s been a musician all his life. In the 80’s when the band UB40 attained major success with a number of hits, he of course was in awe of them – because they too are from Birmingham, UK and they’d become known as “The Beatles of Birmingham” amongst the locals. So, it was like a dream come true when, in 2010, Matt joined the latest iteration of the band, and toured with them for almost 12 years, where he had the pleasure of singing “Red Red Wine” nearly every night to sold out venues around the world.
But in 2021, Matt Hoy was rather unjustly dismissed from the job he loved simply for not having the Covid-19 vaccine, (even though the band and management company knew he was unable to receive it) due to a medical condition! Sadly, They’d made it mandatory for all members of the band to be injected, while completely ignoring the Disability section of the UK’s Equality Act, and they also ignored Matt’s individual medical reasons for not partaking. Undaunted, this hasn’t slowed Matt down at all. He continues to perform as a solo artist and now, he speaks wherever he can to tell his story of what happened, and what we can all do to make sure that what happened to him, never happens again… to anyone.
Since being forced to leave the band (via text message, no less), Matt has made it his life’s mission to make people aware of the dangers vaccination, and also the very real impacts it has had on people’s lives, since so many were forced to abandon careers in the same way Matt was. His empathy especially goes out to all the home and health care workers, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and medical staff who stood their ground and not only said no to it, but also and more importantly, refused to administer it, on an unsuspecting population.
Dr. William Trebing is a board certified Chiropractic Physician with a specialty in Neurology and Radiology, based in Connecticut and South Carolina. He has been in private practice for 38 years. He is the author of the book, “Good-Bye Germ Theory,” originally published in 2000(!), explores the inconsistencies, contradictions and societal brain-washing centered around the “germ theory,” while highlighting some foundational and crucial information and facts regarding Terrain Theory. The book’s latest edition was published in 2006, but all editions are so prescient when it comes to what we are seeing today regarding coercive medical mandates, that it seems he traveled forward and back in time: Dr. Trebing saw today’s pharma-dystopia coming 20 years ago when few others did.
Dr. Trebing is an internationally renowned lecturer on the topics of spinal disc repair, disc radiography, natural health care, the fallacies of the germ theory and mandatory vaccination programs. He is also the author of the popular book, “Good-Bye Germ Theory.” (The sequel to this book is due out in 2023). He completed his undergraduate and graduate work in Biology/Chemistry and Secondary Education at both Adelphi and Brown Universities, as well as his doctorate in Chiropractic from NY Chiropractic College.
BIOGRAPHY:

Internal Medicine.

million national strategy to establish palliative care in the nation’s hospitals. Today, more than
1800 hospitals have a palliative care program, an increase from about 10 in the 1990s. Ms.
Gibson worked with Bill Moyers on the PBS documentary, “On Our Own Terms.” She is recipient
of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative
Medicine.
While at the Foundation, Ms. Gibson led national quality improvement and patient safety
initiatives working in partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. She funded the
first rapid response systems in two hundred hospitals, among other safety innovations.
Ms. Gibson served as 2019 Co-Chair of the IHI National Patient Safety Congress and will do so
again in 2020. She is on the board of the MedStar Institute for Quality and Patient Safety and
serves as faculty for a four-day summer immersion program in patient safety for medical and
nursing students and residents, the Academy of Emerging Leaders in Patient Safety: The
Telluride Experience which has graduated more than 1300 students and residents.
Ms. Gibson is a board member of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and
served for six years on the inaugural ACGME CLER Evaluation Committee to advance patient
safety in teaching hospitals and other clinical learning environments.
She has given grand rounds and patient safety presentations at hundreds of hospitals; keynoted
meetings of the National Quality Forum, The Joint Commission, AONE, National Council of State
Boards of Nursing, Federation of State Medical Boards, National Summit on Overuse held by The
Joint Commission and AMA, Society of Critical Care Medicine, the Joint Commission of

Err is Human. Treatment Trap, Battle Over Health Care, and Medicare Meltdown chronicle the
behind-the-scenes forces that shape health care today.
Her most recent book, China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for
Medicine, reveals the dramatic shift in where medicines are made and growing concerns about
the quality of medicines. It highlights the centralization of the global supply of medicines in a
single country that creates vulnerabilities in the event of a global pandemic, natural disaster, or
geopolitical event.

SPEECH TOPICS
Millions of Americans are taking prescription drugs made in China and don’t know it–and pharmaceutical companies are not eager to tell them.
Several decades ago, penicillin, vitamin C, and many other prescription and over-the-counter products were manufactured in the United States. But with the rise of globalization, antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control pills, blood pressure medicines, cancer drugs, among many others are made in China and sold in the United States.
China’s biggest impact on the US drug supply is making essential ingredients for thousands of medicines found in American homes and used in hospital intensive care units and operating rooms.
Rosemary Gibson convincingly argues that there are at least two major problems with this scenario. First, it is inherently risky for the United States to become dependent on any one country as a source for vital medicines, especially given the uncertainties of geopolitics. For example, if an altercation in the South China Sea causes military personnel to be wounded, doctors may rely upon medicines with essential ingredients made by the adversary.
Second, lapses in safety standards and quality control in Chinese manufacturing are a risk. Citing the concerns of FDA officials and insiders within the pharmaceutical industry, the authors document incidents of illness and death caused by contaminated medications that prompted reform.
This talk based on her book China Rx, examines the implications of our reliance on China on the quality and availability of vital medicines.

Dr. Lustig is the author of the NY Times Bestseller “Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease”, and his YouTube speech video called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” has been viewed over 5 million times. His latest book, “The Hacking of the American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains” gets into what any pleasure seeking is doing to us; not just the bad food.
Dr. Lustig’s keynote has many takeaways: You will learn why all calories are not created equal; you will learn, astonishingly, about the record rates of obesity (and childhood obesity!) we are now facing in North America, and how this came to be. Now, with his latest research, it seems that between the sugar, processed food and the new technology, we are addicted now not just in body, but in mind, too. Will they get our souls next? Have Dr. Lustig speak at your next event to find out…
