3rd “Alternative” Prominent Doctor From Florida Found Dead in 2 weeks

[Created4]

First we had controversial Autism researcher Dr. Jeff Bradstreet MD who was found in a river with a gunshot wound to his chest in or around June 19th. His friends family started a memorial page on June 20th in his honor on Facebook. I waited 4 days after that to report the story out of respect (though some are still mad I reported on it) I am a journalist and as I’ve repeatedly said, it brought me no joy to report the news. Dr. Bradstreet had lived just 45 minutes from us here in Florida.

Then we have Dr. Bruce Hedendal DC PhD who died suddenly on Father’s day. Sources tell me that he was found in his car and had died but the car was not running. He had exercised earlier in the day and was in top shape. He had his PhD in nutrition from Harvard and some say he was a “pillar of health”. These sources didn’t know the cause of death. Not sure if anyone knows yet. Dr. Bradstreet’s case is still under investigation. We’re not sure about Dr. Hedendal. Both had dealt with run ins with the feds. In fact, Dr. Bradstreet’s office was just raided by the feds days before he died.

Our hearts go out to both families and their friends and loved ones.

Now we have the beautiful intelligent Teresa Ann Sievers MD here in Florida. Her bio on her website talk about her many accomplishments and degrees as a medical doctor who believed in a holistic alternative approach. She lived in an “upscale” nice neighborhood where neighbors said they rarely, if ever had problems.

So three doctors in less than 2 weeks are found dead. (Authorities admit this third one is a "homicide.")

To all who knew and loved Dr. Teresa Sievers:

As my best friend and colleague, Dr. Teresa Sievers was a visionary in her field, amazing healer, loving wife and mother to two beautiful little girls as well as many others in the community. She was referred to by many as "Mother Teresa". Her life was taken yesterday, June 29, 2015, by an unknown assailant(s) in her home.

Dr. Sievers was the primary family provider. I ask you and anyone you know to donate what you are able to help her family deal with the financial burdens they will be faced with, including the education of her two young daughters who are only 11 and 8.

Thank you and God Bless,

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office declined to discuss the case, saying it was an ongoing homicide investigation, but assured neighbors that there was no threat in the area

They have neither made an arrest nor announced that they think they know where the murderer went, yet they are sure there is no threat in the area.

Interesting.

Bruce Eric Hedendal, D.C., who had fled from Florida after being indicted for tax evasion has been sentenced to prison for income tax evasion. Hedendal practiced for many years in Boca Raton, Florida and hosted a syndicated radio talk show that broadcast to a few stations and through the Internet. In August 2000, a federal grand jury in West Palm Beach charged him with income tax evasion for the years 1993 through 1995 [1] . After receiving a summons, Hedendal fled to Canada, Grenada, and ultimately to Brisbane, Australia, where he practiced under the names Erik Hedendahl and Park Road Holistic Centre and hosted another radio show.The indictment stated that Hedendal had attempted to evade paying a total of about $180,000 in taxes on income of about $561,000 by failing to file returns and concealing his true income through the use of sham trusts, false entries on business records; and false representations to he Internal Revenue Service for the 3-year period [2]. At the detention hearing, the government stated that Hedendal purchased the trust arrangements from John Philip Ellis, Sr. a "tax protester" who created and promoted American Asset Protection (AAP) in West Palm Beach. Ellis claimed the trusts were "foreign" to the United States and tax-exempt, but testimony at his trial indicated that his business was based on contorted definitions and interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and U.S. Constitution and that more than 150 customers throughout the United States had bought more than 360 trusts or trust packages costing upwards of $20,000 [3]. In 2002, Ellis was sentenced to 10-1/2 years in federal prison for obstructing justice and conspiring to defraud the United States, and eight associates received sentences ranging from probation to five years in prison.
According to a report in the Palm Beach Post:

• In 2000, Hedendal moved to Durango, Colorado after a bitter and costly divorce in which he was ordered to pay his ex-wife $10,000 a month alimony and $4,000 a month support for four of their five children.
• When summoned to face the tax evasion charges, he fled to Vancouver, British Columbia, then to the West Indies island of Grenada and finally to Brisbane. Court records show that he owed more than $100,000 [4].
• When Australian police arrested him on a traffic offense in June 2003, they found he had false passports and identification cards showing him as a Canadian citizen named Ian Douglas Gillies. He was released in October, then arrested and held on a U.S. warrant until he was extradited.
• The police have seized computer records showing that Hedendal had offshore accounts in Latvia, the Channel Islands and the Cayman Islands and at one time had assets of $400,000.
• Hedendal also set up a trust named Alternatives to Medicine, with himself and his mother as trustees, and gave it 95% ownership of International Nutrition, a dietary-supplement business that he claimed had $2 million in sales in 2000.

Yes. But there's something missing. Where's the announcement that they are asking the public to help them find a 'person of interest in the case'?

Police searching for clues three days after beloved doctor and married mother of two was found murdered in her Florida home while her family were away

By Snejana Farberov
2 July 2015

More than 48 hours after a well-regarded doctor and married mother of two was discovered murdered inside her Florida home, police descended on the crime scene searching for clues.

Dr Teresa Ann Sievers, 46, was found dead Monday afternoon inside her family's residence on Jarvis Road in Bonita Springs while her husband and children were away.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday they were pursuing several lead in connection to the slaying but reassured local residents that there was no threat to the general population.

In the afternoon, 30 cadets from the Southwest Florida Institute for Public Service arrived at the Sievers home to help sheriff's deputies scour the property for evidence.

Staffers from a security company that Dr Sievers and her husband have employed were also on hand to provide assistance.

Several grieving family members arrived in the afternoon and congregated outside Dr Sievers’ house, watching as police investigated a broken door handle, observed NBC2.

The 46-year-old victim’s relatives remained mystified as to who would want to harm the beloved physician who dedicated her life to helping women and girls.

‘We don't know anything but that she was murdered,’ said Sievers' sister, Annie Lisa.

Dr Sievers had been in Connecticut with her husband, Mark Sievers, their children, aged 8 and 10, and sister Anna Lisa prior to her death, but flew home alone Sunday.

Oh of course, on queue, Dr. Bradstreet declared a suicide: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...stigation.html

SO if a "regular" doctor commits suicide or dies suspiciously, would that be due to some "alternative medicine cartel" trying to take them out?

I don’t know, why don’t you go ask William Cooper, Michael Hastings, Gary Webb, Debra Palfrey, Jonathan Luna, Terrance Yeakey, Chris Kyle, John O'Neill, Paul Wellstone and his family, Barry Jennings, Pat Tillman, David Tapper, Sok Khak Ung, Josh Speer, Kyle Williams, the dead twenty of Seal Team Six, or even Alberto Nisman? Oh you cannot, and why is this so? Because they are all dead!

Neighbors of murdered Florida doctor describe hearing screams on the day she was found dead inside her home - as police remain tight-lipped on cause of death

By Sophie Jane Evans For Dailymail.com

Published: 08:35 EST, 4 July 2015

The neighbors of a well-regarded doctor and mother of two who was discovered murdered inside her upscale Florida home have described hearing screams on the day of her death.

Dr Teresa Ann Sievers, 46, who operated the Restorative Health & Healing Center in the Estero Medical Center, was found dead at her family's house on Jarvis Road in Bonita Springs on Monday morning while her husband and children were with relatives in Connecticut.

Police have confirmed that the physician - who had flown home alone from the family trip the night before - is the victim of a homicide, but have yet to reveal the cause of death or a motive.

Now, neighbors have told of how they heard pained screams and shouting coming from Sievers's house on the morning of her killing.

'It was early in the morning, before the sun was up… I got up and I heard what was like a shrill, resident Donetta Contreras told WINK News.

She added: 'I have children and I know when a child gets hurt how they’ll have a shrill and to me that’s what it sounded like.'

Another neighbor, who wished to remain unnamed, told the news station that he heard what sounded like a man arguing with someone inside Sievers's home just before sunrise.

Several hours later, Sievers, a mother of two young daughters, was discovered dead inside her house after she failed to show up for work.

Staff at the doctor's office had called officials at around 9.45am, raising concern about her welfare. They had told dispatchers that Sievers had scheduled several appointments - but had not shown up.

The professional's neighbors said they are now concerned for their own safety - especially because authorities have remained tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding her murder.

'I’m very scared for my safety,' Contreras told WINK News, based in southwest Florida.

However, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said on Wednesday they were pursuing several leads in connection with the slaying and reassured locals that there was no threat to the general population.

With three prominent deaths I am much more concerned. This is not looking good at all. This info has been circulating in my social media.

[angelatc]

Yes. But there's something missing. Where's the announcement that they are asking the public to help them find a 'person of interest in the case'?

They don't always need help from the public. They could be waiting for some forensic results to come back, for example.

[angelatc]

SO if a "regular" doctor commits suicide or dies suspiciously, would that be due to some "alternative medicine cartel" trying to take them out?

It's hard for some people to understand that crazy people do crazy things. It's just their nature to ignore evidence and instead to create a fictional script to "explain" it.

So she wasn't an "alternative doctor" as the OP claims. Must not have been BigPharma killing her then if she was one of "theirs".

5 Holistic Health Doctors Found Dead In 4 Weeks, 5 More Go Missing – After Run-Ins with Feds



Over the past months, five natural health doctors have either mysteriously died or been intentionally killed, with another five having gone missing under unexplained circumstances.

As we previously reported, the curious deaths began on June 19, when Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a renowned autism researcher from Florida, now practicing in Georgia, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest. Police were quick to claim that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted, ruling the death a suicide almost immediately.

The doctor’s family suspects foul play with family members setting up a donation page in an effort “To find the answers to the many questions leading up to the death of Dr Bradstreet, including an exhaustive investigation into the possibility of foul play.”

The next suspicious death came only days later, on Father’s Day, June 21, when Dr. Bruce Hedendal, DC Ph.D., of the Miami area, was found slumped over in his car with no indication as to a cause of death. The details regarding Hedendal’s death are even murkier than that of Bradstreet, with very few details being released. Hedendal was reported to be extremely fit and had actually been doing an athletic event earlier in the day before being found dead.

Raising the level of suspicion surrounding these doctor’s deaths was the fact that both had previously run into problems with the feds due to their holistic treatments of patients. Just weeks prior to Bradstreet’s death, his office was raided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

On the same day that Hedendal’s body was found, Dr. Baron Holt DC was found dead in Florida. Holt died unexpectedly while on a trip to Jacksonville, Fla.

Although the 33-year-old Holt had been struggling with recent health issues, none were thought to be life-threatening by loved ones, according to The News & Observer. The report by the Observer indicated that the family is currently awaiting the results of an autopsy report.

As if three dead doctors in the same field, in same region of the country, and in such a short time span didn’t already raise red flags, Dr. Teresa Sievers, another natural health doctor from Florida, was brutally murdered in her home on June 29.

Very interesting that the neg rep came from a different account, and it wasn't AFs either.

There's no point in talking to you because when I tell you that at least one of those idiots was being investigated because he was running experiments on autistic children using drugs that weren't even sterile, you'll just assert (with no evidence, natch) that it can't possibly be true and that it's all part of some propaganda machine that everybody in the world is on on, and you know about but can't ever prove. All the posts on the alternative medical forums about parents traveling to see him are false, all the posts (now deleted) on his blog were false, and all the evidence the investigators presented was false. There is literally nothing that will convince you that these realities are real.)

While I understand that some of us honestly and deeply believe the content that gets posted, that does mean any of it is true, which is why there are never any facts to advance the hackneyed theories that are proposed. The never ending deluded conspiracy posts do nothing but serve to act as a mockery of the liberty movement and what it should stand for.

These charlatans, and those that worship them, only serve to advance the cause of government. They are financially soaking the most ignorant, gullible and desperate members of society while giving the liberals reasons to defend the endless government intrusions in the most initmate aspects of our daily lives.

I'm not some sweet little "live and let live" type person - when actions have blowback that I'm dragged into, I will indeed call bull$#@! when I see it.

My life and my vision of liberty would be better if these people would all drop dead, because it is literally impossible to deprogram the cult that surrounds them.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- One of the men accused of murdering Dr. Teresa Sievers will be brought back to Florida.Wayne Wright waived his extradition at a hearing Wednesday afternoon in Jefferson County, Missouri. Wright has been in jail since the end of August, facing second degree charges in Sievers’ death.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office tells WINK News they do not know at this time when Wright will be extradited to Florida.
Wright and a second murder suspect, Jimmy Rodgers, were both seen at a Wal-Mart on Six Mile Cypress Parkway in south Fort Myers the day before Sievers’ body was found in her Bonita Springs home. Wright is also a childhood friend of Sievers’ husband, Mark Sievers. At this time, Mark Sievers has not been named as a suspect.

Rodgers, a known associate of Wright’s, is currently serving a six month sentence in Missouri for violating his probation by leaving the state of Missouri. Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott told WINK News earlier this month that its possible Rodgers could be brought to a Florida federal prison to complete his sentence

All those fact checkers forgot to follow up on this story. Of course, they'll probably insist that the government was setting the husband up and using the childhood friend to do it. Because the concept of a husband murdering his wife is just soooo pedestrian.
