Guest Biography:

Dr. Scott Schroeder is a Physician and Surgeon of the Foot and Ankle.  He has been in practice for over 30 years in the State of Washington.  He has lectured to the FDA and around the world on the systemic effects of metal allergies and reactions within the human body.

Over the decades he has developed a keen interest in the local and systemic effects of metals he has surgically placed in his patients.  Over the past decade he has surgically removed over 1,000 metallic implants in over 400 patients.  With this has come a wealth of practical knowledge of how these patients have responded to this metal in their bodies.  He is currently involved in a number of studies, one of which is showing 3-4% “Life Changing” improvements in quality of life after removal of the metallic implants from the body.  4% would mean 1 in 25 surgeries where metal is implanted in the body.  He is here today to review a number of these systemic reactions he has encountered after surgical implantation of metal in his patients and subsequent, sometimes extremely dramatic, improvement after removal of the metal.

And subscribe to Cheryl’s newsletter so you won’t miss any upcoming episodes of “Bold and Blunt!”

Cheryl’s an in-demand public speaker and media guest, passionate about topics related to Christianity and the country’s Judeo-Christian roots, the Constitution, politics and policy, United Nations and sovereignty issues, Congress and Capitol Hill – pretty much anything that lends itself to exposing those matters that run counter to freedom, biblical principles and the preservation of America as the greatest country the world’s ever seen.

Her publication credits include the Blaze, the Washington Times, the Washington Examiner, the Heritage Foundation, the Heartland Institute, Lifezette, PamelaGeller.com and more. She has made hundreds of appearances on national and local television and radio (including Fox News, C-SPAN, CBN, Michael Savage radio, Newsmax TV, Steve Bannon’s WarRoom), and in person at various forums and events, to discuss politics and culture, the role of Christianity in government, media bias and limited government principles.

Her second book,”The Devil in DC: Winning Back the Country From the Beast in Washington,” with a foreword by Mike Huckabee, former governor and White House hopeful, tells Christians and patriots how exactly to put the nation back under God’s control and wrench power from the atheists and progressives who have taken root. Check out what others, like radio giant Michael Savage, have said about it so far!

Her first book, “Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare is Becoming Our Reality,” (foreword: Rep. Louie Gohmert), gives a snapshot look at how government is encroaching at all levels – federal, state and local – in order to better educate and equip patriots with the tools to reclaim our greatest Founding Father gift … the notion that our rights come from God, not government. It’s an eye-opening work that came out at the height of police-citizen tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, over the death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white officer — and that’s still pertinent, during the 2020 protests and riots around the nation over the police killing of George Floyd.

Guest Occupation: serologist, hypnotherapist, energy healer, spiritual counselor
Guest Biography:

Mariel Forde Clarke – Bio

Mariel Forde Clarke qualified as a serologist in veterinary science many years ago, assuming this was her career for life. 

All that changed in 1992, when she was faced with her own mortality and upon surviving, changed the direction of her life towards a more holistic and spiritual pathway. 

She is certified in many healing modalities, from hypnotherapy, Reiki, crystal healing, shamanism, integrated energy healing, Light body healing, and mediumship, and is an Angel and Ascension teacher, and spiritual counselor. 

She runs a private practice where she lives in Galway, Ireland.

Mariel has dedicated her life to exploring the mystery of life and death. She has studied many cultures where the afterlife is considered our true home. 

From the various research gleaned, she now understands that a belief in an afterlife determines and impacts on how one grieves. 

Anecdotal evidence from many of her workshops showed a prevailing common theme. Participants who believe in an afterlife manage their grieving process in a healthier and more integrative way. 

For others, the afterlife is of no concern, with death being the cessation of all life and communication.

Mariel runs frequent workshops, including: The Journey of the Soul, Life after Physical Death, Coping with Loss, and Healing Through the Grieving Process. 

Other workshops include Spirituality in the Workplace, Angels and Spiritual Awakening, Ascension – Finding your Way Back to Source, The Way – The Chalice of Light, and The Secret Teachings of Mary Magdalene.



Synopsis of Mariel Forde Clarke’s Book Where After: Where Do Our Loved Ones Go After They Die?

Where – do our loved ones go – After they die? 

This question has traversed the universe for centuries and is considered one of life’s greatest mysteries. 

While many of the world’s renowned philosophers, scientists, theorists, doctors, and great mystics have endorsed the existence of the afterlife, no one book has been available to explore it all, until now.

Mariel Forde Clarke asserts that whether you believe in God or heaven, you can be comforted by the sense that an afterlife exists beyond the realm of one's physical comprehension. 

Drawing on the findings of patients who have had near-death experiences and visions, and on those of renowned scientists and doctors, Clarke helps the reader chart the journey of the soul and navigate their grief.
