And, he is included in the 2019 listing, OOOM Magazine, as one of the “World’s 100 Most Inspiring People.” In 2020, he presented his work at the “Majlis” by invitation from the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi at his Royal Palace, and more recently, in 2023, at the United Nations.

Talk: The Fourth Phase of Water: Its Role in Health

School children learn that water has three phases: solid, liquid and vapor. But we have recently uncovered a fourth phase. This phase occurs next to water-loving (hydrophilic) surfaces. It is surprisingly extensive, projecting out from the surface by up to millions of molecular layers. And, its properties differ markedly from those of bulk water.

Of particular significance is the observation that this fourth phase is charged; and, the water just beyond is oppositely charged, creating a battery that can produce electrical current. We found that light charges this battery. Thus, water can receive and process electromagnetic energy drawn from the environment in much the same way as plants. Absorbed electromagnetic (light) energy can then be exploited for performing work, including electrical and mechanical work. Recent experiments confirm the reality of such energy conversion.

This energy-conversion framework seems rich with implication. Not only does it provide an understanding of how water processes solar and other energies, but also it may provide a foundation for simpler understanding natural phenomena ranging from weather and green energy all the way to biological issues such as the origin of life, transport, and osmosis.

The discussion will present evidence for the existence of this phase of water — how come nobody’s seen it before? It will also consider the broad implications of this phase for science, engineering, and health.

Professor Angus Dalgleish

Prof Angus Dalgleish MD FRCP FRACP FRCPath FMedSci, was the foundation Professor of Oncology at St George’s, University of London from 1992, and is now Emeritus Professor at City St George’s, University of London. He is the principal of the Institute of cancer vaccines and immunotherapy (ICVI). He has over 500 publications including 7 books.

He discovered the CD4 receptor for HIV and has pioneered new approaches to HIV, cancer and Covid vaccines. He also was responsible for the development of Lenalidomide with Celgene, one of the most successful oncology drugs of all time. For which he received the Joshua Lederberg prize in 2011.

Talk: What we have learnt from the COVID pandemic and why it must never happen again.

The COVID pandemic began with a lab leak from the Wuhan laboratory, which had been inserting positively charged sequences around the receptor binding regions of a bat virus backbone. The lab had published previous engineering success in making such GOF viruses infect human cells. 

In spite of the fact that a natural virus with 6 positively charged inserts could NOT exist under the laws of biophysics, a natural jump from A bat was universally accepted from the WHO (World Health Organization) down and all debate was stifled. Lockdown was only used to delay the virus so that a vaccine could be developed. It was never necessary and has caused unbelievable harm to health, development and the economy.

The spike protein was 79% homologous to human epitopes and was guaranteed to cause autoimmunity. We warned of this, but were ignored.

We published a paper in Frontiers of Immunology showing why no coronavirus vaccine had ever worked and why they all induced severe side effects.

All data available shows that the vaccines were never safe nor effective and that the mRNA vaccines are highly dangerous gene therapies that never made authorisation for treating cancer!

My focus is on the relationship between booster vaccines and the emergence of a new cancer epidemic linked to the vaccine programme, and that a programme of detoxifying the spike protein is the most urgent medical emergency of our time.

Dr Nicola Antonucci

After a degree in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Bari, Italy, in 2000, Dr Antonucci went on to specialise in Psychiatry. His journey into biomedical treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) began in 2006, following his daughter’s diagnosis. Drawing on the expertise of the Autism Research Institute, San Diego, he immersed himself in the latest approaches.

He is regularly invited to speak and teach at international conferences and seminars across the globe and has received multiple international grants in recognition of his pioneering research on Autism. He has been a speaker for 5 consecutive years at the ‘AutismOne’ Conference in Chicago and more recently in 2024 at the MAP Conference in the USA. 

Since 2009 he has been director of the “Biomedical Center for Autism Research and Treatment” in Bari, Italy, where he consults with patients from over 30 countries, working exclusively with children affected by neuro-developmental disorders.

In 2010, in collaboration with Dr. Dario Siniscalco, University of Naples, he founded a research group to study molecular and cellular changes in Autism Spectrum Disorders. This group has been conducting several research trials in collaboration with international universities and researchers in Europe and the USA – they have already published several papers in international peer-reviewed journals in the field of Autism.

Talk: Approaching Autism as an environmental disorder: the complexity of strategy.

Accumulating scientific evidence points to environmental factors as foundational in creating ASD pathophysiology as a systemic disorder and not just in the brain. Factors such as pollution, pesticides, chronic infections and incorrect diet during pregnancy and childhood cannot be ruled out.

Approaching ASD as an environmental disease, many interventions have been implemented with the aim of removing the environmental toxins and repairing the impaired metabolic functions and chronic inflammation. A complex strategy of interventions that are nowadays available will be covered, as a result of Dr Antonucci’s clinical research and experience.

Talk: An objective review of the Sars-Cov-2 virus narrative and its genetic therapy. Public and scientific lies, in search of the time of truth.

The world has changed since the 2020 pandemic; we have seen a world-wide coordinated global effort imposing harsh choices on the population. Lockdowns, social distancing, masking, had little to no effect in halting the spread of the virus, measures supported by a distorted science and false modelling plunged countries into economic and psychological nightmares from which we haven’t yet recovered.

The same science told us we had no cure and pushed for the arrival of the new holy grail: genetic mRNA and DNA therapies. Lie after lie we have discovered that these products were not vaccines, were not stopping the transmission, nor the development of the symptoms, and today it seems they had no protective effect against death or serious events. Missing studies on pharmacokinetic and genotoxic effects are still lacking. A paradoxical excess of deaths in many countries, since the rollout of these products, is still happening, but there’s little will to understand the underlying causes. It’s time to address the many black holes in the narrative, and to find a solution to the hundreds of thousands of people still suffering from the devastating side effects of a class of drugs, whose effects seem to be lasting years, understanding what has really happened and returning science to an observational unbiased model and not an economic and political one.

Talk: Beyond Biology: What It Means to be Human in the 21st Century

What does it truly mean to be human in an age defined by rapid scientific discovery, technological disruption, and deepening ecological uncertainty? While most agree that our humanity extends beyond the purely physical or biological, consensus ends there. Drawing on four decades as a multidisciplinary scientist, Dr Rob Verkerk will explore emerging perspectives that bridge evolutionary biology, astrobiology, systems ecology, and biophysics with both ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary explorations of consciousness.

This keynote will examine how new science is reshaping our understanding of human potential and our place in the cosmos. Dr Verkerk will contrast the “classical,” three-dimensional view of life—anchored in matter, time, and space—with quantum, non-local, and atemporal dimensions that point to a five-dimensional state of being. It is within this expanded state that intuition, synchronicity, and even what we call “miracles” may be understood not as anomalies, but as expressions of deeper natural laws.

By integrating scientific frontiers with philosophy and spirituality, the presentation aims to open a dialogue on how we might reconceive life, consciousness, and humanity itself in the 21st century—and why doing so may be essential for our collective future.

Talk: Making Sense of ADHD: The Neurobiology of ADHD and Pathways to Support

Synopsis coming soon

Fabio Zoffi PhD

Fabio Zoffi is a visionary Italian high-tech entrepreneur and advocate for natural health. Zoffi’s entrepreneurial background spans technology startups, venture capital, and cleantech, and he has held leadership roles in several tech and food companies since the 1990s. He is currently the driving force behind ZeroSpike.org, a non-profit organization focused on researching solutions for detoxifying the spike protein associated with COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines.

Fabio is credited as the inventor of Augmented NAC, a specialized supplement developed to enhance the detoxification of spike proteins. Zoffi and his interdisciplinary team have published extensive research on SARS-CoV-2, mRNA technology, spike protein toxicity, and methods for improving NAC’s effectiveness, and he regularly presents on these topics at health conferences and webinars.

Zoffi’s focus on natural health innovation reflects his holistic approach by integrating advanced technology with traditional wellness principles to address the whole person – mind, body, and environment. He combines modern scientific tools, such as quantum physics, AI and data analytics, with natural remedies and preventive strategies, embodying a systems-based view that seeks root-cause solutions rather than just treating symptoms. This approach mirrors broader trends in holistic health, where innovation is used to personalize care, enhance diagnostics, and make wellness more accessible, all while respecting the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Zoffi’s work exemplifies the fusion of evidence-based science and holistic philosophy, aiming for comprehensive, scalable and effective solutions.

Talk: Spike Detox with Augmented NAC and  Urine Spike Test – clinical results

It is now confirmed that spike proteins play a central role in COVID-19 infection, “Long Vax,” spike shedding, and complications associated with the COVID “vaccine.” Whether induced by infection or COVID injection, the spike protein acts as a toxin, causing widespread damage throughout the body and, in some cases, death. Documented harms include neurological disorders, cardiovascular damage, immune system collapse, turbo cancers, and more.

The ZeroSpike Project, founded by Fabio Zoffi, has developed a solution to help detoxify the body: Augmented NAC. In his presentation, Fabio will demonstrate how this powerful food supplement has become the ultimate remedy for spike protein toxicity, supported by clinical results and Urine Spike Tests (UST)—an experimental diagnostic research tool developed by the project to detect the presence of spike proteins in the body and track their elimination.

He will also explain the science behind Augmented NAC’s mechanism of action, supported by two docking analyses showing how it binds to and neutralizes the spike protein.

Augmented NAC is currently helping over 150,000 families worldwide and has been integrated into spike detox protocols by thousands of health practitioners. It is used to support individuals suffering from COVID “vaccine” injury, Long Vax, and spike protein shedding.

Dr Giuseppe Marinaci

Dr Giuseppe Marinaci graduated as “Doctor in Dental Surgery” in 2002 from the University of Siena, Italy. Very soon in his dental career, he discovered that what he was taught about dentistry and medicine was quite questionable and sometimes contradictory as a means to help people improve their health. Trained by

the global pioneers and greatest experts of Metal-Free Dentistry, he started his journey as a biological dentist until marrying the most advanced approach, according to the German and Swiss schools. He is a dental A.R.T. practitioner and a leader in ceramic implants and jawbone cavitation surgery in the UK.

Talk: Biological Dentistry: the missing link between Functional Medicine and full healing.

No region of our body is as heavily saturated with heavy metals, metal alloys, toxic materials, infections, and inflammations as the mouth and jaw areas. It’s estimated that up to 60% of chronic illnesses are connected to interference fields in the oral cavity, such as jawbone cavitations, dead teeth, metals, and reduced vertical dimension of the bite. Thanks to a bio-logical concept of treatment, simply by removing metals and treating the sources of inflammation in the mouth and jaw areas, patients have an improved chance of recovery by relieving and strengthening the immune system and by eliminating other harmful factors. Profound healing is only possible through the application of a comprehensive, interactive therapy concept that fully considers all biological, medical and dental aspects.

He has pioneered successful integrative treatments for cancer, Lyme disease, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, silicone implant disease, autism, dementia and many other illnesses.

Talk: Reversal of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, also called Motor Neuron Disease, has been considered irreversible, typically leading to death within 3 to 4 years of diagnosis. There are, however, more than 60 confirmed cases of ALS reversals, 46 of whom have been published by the Duke University team.  A reversal is defined as a dramatic and persistent recovery of motor function for at least 12 months. HealingALS.org created an online integrative medicine education for ALS patients and an online registry for ALS patients to, once per month, report their treatments, their symptoms and their functionality with the validated ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R). 45 patients studied the educational materials, implemented what they felt led to do and over one year, 85% did better functionally than what is predicted in published literature. HealingALS.org is now starting a 1000 ALS patient online, international, observational study. Dr. Cowden will provide some case examples and describe what has been learned so far about ALS reversal.

Dr Dietrich Klinghardt PhD

Dr. Klinghardt studied medicine & psychology in Freiburg, Germany, completing his PhD on the involvement of the autonomic nervous system in autoimmune disorders. Early in his career he became interested in the sequelae of chronic toxicity for the course of illness.
