Dr. Alexander Loyd	Dr. Alexander Loyd is the founder of The Healing Codes, a company dedicated to natural healing around the world. In the spring of 2001, Dr. Loyd discovered a simple, physical mechanism that eliminates stress in the body. For the next year Dr. Loyd validated this mechanism through pre-post Heart Rate Variability tests: the state-of-the-art mainstream medical diagnostic test for measuring stress in the autonomic nervous system. In 86% of cases, stress was virtually eliminated from the body within 20 minutes. Previous to Dr. Loyd's research, six weeks was the least amount of time any treatment had been documented to consistently balance the autonomic nervous system, according to available literature going back 30 years. The significance of this discovery is monumental. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta publishes that up to 80% of all health care dollars are spent on stress related issues. In 1998 Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cellular biologist at Stanford University Medical school, released landmark research indicating that 95% of all physical and non-physical illnesses are the result of stress in the autonomic nervous system. Dr. Lipton explains that stress suppresses the body's immune and healing systems and causes cells to shift into self-protection mode, which over time leads to illness and disease. Dr. Lipton further stated that the result of stress being removed from the body is a return to health. Since 2001, thousands of clients all over the world have reported healing from illness and disease by activating the body's stress release mechanism. The treatment is non-invasive, there is nothing to take, and it does not involve diet or exercise. The mechanism is like "a hidden fuse box" in the body. Dr. Loyd has trained 65+ coaches who work with clients over the phone, guiding them through this simple, natural self-treatment. After being healed from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) himself and witnessing unprecedented results from this process on his patients, Dr. Ben Johnson of the International Cancer Foundation (M.D., O.D., N.M.D.) stated that; "the Healing Codes mechanism changes stress in a matter of minutes in a scientifically provable and reproducible way, thus eliminating the cause of illness and disease in the body. I have NEVER seen this before". Alexander Loyd is a doctor of naturopathic medicine and has a masters degree in psychology. Dr. Loyd operated a successful private practice for a number of years in counseling, and later in alternative therapies. For 6 years, Dr. Loyd traveled all over the globe in search of healing for his wife's (Tracey) clinical depression. Dr. Loyd's search led him to various techniques that could eliminate symptoms of depression and other illnesses, but not permanent, consistent healing. Dr. Loyd then poured himself into the study of energy and quantum physics, which ultimately led to the discovery of The Healing Codes mechanism. Dr. Loyd lives with his wife Hope Tracey, and his two sons, Harry and George in Brentwood, Tennessee. Click here to go back .

Dr. Ben Johnson	Dr. Ben Johnson resides in Rossville, Georgia with his wife and 7 children. He is a complementary and alternative medicine physician. He was clinical director of the Immune Recovery Clinic in Atlanta, Georgia for several years, resigning in October 2004 to work full time on The Healing Codes. Dr. Johnson served in the armed forces during Vietnam and was a flight surgeon in the Army reserve for many years. He was a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner for the FAA for 12 years. His major area of interest is cancer, and he devotes most of his time to researching and designing protocols for cancer patients. Dr. Johnson earned his first medical degree as a D.O. from University of Health Science, Kansas City, Missouri; his M.D. from The University of Science, Arts and Technology, Montserrat, West Indies and his NMD from The United States School of Naturopathy in Washington, D.C. In Dr. Johnson’s efforts to help cancer patients he realized that a major obstacle to healing was deep-seated emotional/spiritual issues that kept them from healing. The Healing Codes mechanism became the answer to healing the emotional pictures that blocked healing. Never before had he experienced a therapy which allowed the autonomic nervous system to normalize in a matter of minutes, allowing the body to begin the healing process it was designed to perform. Dr. Johnson is in the process of writing a book with Dr Alex Loyd on this subject. Dr. Johnson is also the founder of International Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization that funds cancer research and treatment in traditional (herbs, minerals, and frequency) therapies. He is the Chief Executive Officer of Biopharmika, Inc. In his spare time, Dr. Johnson is a helicopter and a fixed wing pilot. Click here to go back . www.breastwisdombook.com

Ed Gungor	Ed Gungor is a rare wonder in the American church --- a veteran pastor with a strong aversion to “religion,” who often conducts well-informed discussions on philosophy and church history but can’t go more than two sentences without laughing at his own jokes. He became a follower of Christ as a teenager in the early 1970’s and has been deeply involved in the spiritual formation of others for over thirty-five years. Ed has a passion for authentic transformation, a phenomenon he feels is all too rare in today’s church. “Christianity is like a cough,” he muses. “Standing at a safe distance and imitating someone else’s cough is nothing like getting close and catching it yourself.” As a self-described “church futurist,” he is constantly aware of the changing needs of the next generation of Christians, the ones who haven’t yet experienced spiritual formation. To effectively communicate the gospel to this group, he believes our notion of “destiny” in the American church needs to be re-imagined. Ed longs to see believers willing to abandon their Christianized versions of the self-important American Dream, embracing instead the miraculous, surprising and contagious Christianity that comes when they see themselves as the servants of God who find their home with Messiah and his people as they participate in the mission of God (mission dei). Ed is known for his down-to-earth, engaging communication style. With transparency and his own unique brand of wry humor, he cuts through the usual “church-speak,” gleefully slaughtering any sacred cows that distort the true message of Christ. He is the author of several books, including RELIGIOUSLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES: Finding a Cure When Faith Doesn’t Feel Right. He is currently working on his fifth book, THE VOW: An Ancient Path of Spiritual Formation That Still Transforms Today, which is scheduled for release in early 2008 (Thomas Nelson, Inc.). His current release is entitled THERE IS MORE TO THE SECRET. Ed and his wife Gail have been married thirty years. They have four children and live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ed currently serves as Lead Pastor at Peoples Church in Tulsa and travels around the U.S. and abroad speaking in churches, universities and seminars. Click here to go back . http://www.Edgungor.com

Rabbi Daniel Lapin	America’s rabbi: A gifted communicator and ardent advocate for faith, family & prosperity, Jewish community leader, broadcaster, scholar, speaker and author. Rabbi Daniel Lapin , noted rabbinic scholar, best-selling author and host of God Talk on San Francisco’s KGO is one of America’s most eloquent speakers. His ability to extract life principles from the Bible and transmit them in an entertaining manner has brought countless numbers of Jews and Christians closer to their respective faiths. In 2007 Newsweek magazine included him in its list of America’s fifty most influential rabbis.

In the early 1990’s, Ron founded the Youth Life Foundation of the Triangle- an award-winning educational and tutorial ministry to impoverished children from inner-city Durham, North Carolina. In 1995, Ron Lewis walked through an open door into the nation of China, resulting in the formation of Strategic China Initiative, an organization that provides leadership training to members of the persecuted underground Chinese church. To date, SCI has trained more than 50,000 leaders, printed over 50 tons of literature, and distributed nearly one million Bibles throughout China.

Many similar works to uphold social justice and champion the cause of the forgotten are also being undertaken through Strategic Global Initiatives, a 501c3 that Ron formed for this purpose. Ron Lewis’s global influence has also helped over 200 full-time ministers get trained and launched into the mission field. He has been involved with at least 50 church plants in various nations including China, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Guam, and Scotland.

Peter J. Daniels

Peter J. Daniels came from a poor dysfunctional family back-ground and suffering from ill health and dyslexia he never passed one grade at school. However, from this humble beginning he developed a deep faith in God and confounded the skeptics. At over seventy years of age he still aspires, works and looks like someone much younger.

Happily married to Robina for over 50 years he enjoys the love, friendship and support of a very close knit family with three children and eight grandchildren.

The mass media at times has called him an ‘adrenalin charged salesman’, a ‘religious nut’ and a ‘battle scarred champion’ of dozen crusades when he fought pornography.

The business community has said of him ‘he could motivate an Egyptian mummy to walk’ and yet others call him an ‘International Business Statesman’. Church leaders refer to him as a missionary to the business world or a merchant of hope and speak widely of his generosity.

Books, magazines and newspapers feature stories about his life as well as being featured on radio and television talk show and news reports. Schools and students throughout the world write essays about his life, his humble beginnings and his determination to succeed in whatever task he has before him. One newspaper said “he expects everything to be done yesterday and has an uncanny way of making sure that it is”.

He has received many honors from universities, theological colleges, governments, business and humanitarian organizations around the world. He has spoken to over 1 million people in seminars and thousands flock to hear him speak wherever he travels across the globe and his books sell at a frantic pace. One recording on encouragement is attributed to have sold over one million copies.

He is a genius for creating simple business formulas to solve difficult problems and has spoken to more live audiences throughout the world than any other Australian.

The rise and rise of Peter J Daniels was painfully slow commencing fulltime menial work at thirteen years of age until he became a bricklayer and stonemason working piecework sometimes from 6am to 10pm seven days a week until he became a born again Christian at a Billy Graham Crusade on May the 25th 1959 in South Australia. Not long after that he believed that God had given him two dreams the first one was to see how much money one human being could give away in their lifetime and the second one was to change the world for 300 years. To achieve this he purchased three dictionaries to learn words and practiced pronunciation and speech by listening to British broadcasting on radio who in those early days spoke impeccable English. Without a tutor or mentor he studied economics, politics, modern and ancient history, theology, economic law, philosophy and business. He soon found out that the mind was like a muscle and could be developed, he has personally read over 5,000 biographies. Although he failed three times in business he never went bankrupt but persevered and met his commitments. For nearly two decades he built a thriving business in real estate in Australia with south-east Asian connections and finally sold out to follow other business pursuits.

In 1984 he launched his first book that was the catalyst of the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies which is today with a no debt philosophy is one of the largest suppliers of Christian business education programs and books in the world. Click here to go back .
