Del Bigtree

PRODUCER Del Bigtree was an Emmy Award-winning producer on the daytime talk show The Doctors, for six years. With a background both as a filmmaker and an investigative medical journalist, he is best known for combining visually impactful imagery, raw emotional interviews and unbiased investigative research into stories that push the envelope of daytime television. Some of his most thought-provoking episodes include a rare televised debate between Monsanto’s head of toxicology Dr. Donna Farmer and GMO activist Jeffrey Smith and an exposé on a “gold standard” medical test that mistakenly indicts loving parents for child abuse, causing their children to be remanded to Child Protective Services.

When Bigtree began investigating the story of the CDC Whistleblower and the fraud perpetrated by the CDC, he soon realized that he had stumbled upon a story of corruption and deception beyond any he had ever seen. Further investigation into the wrongful destruction of Andrew Wakefield’s career orchestrated by Big Pharma and the UK Department of Health inspired him to focus all of his attention on what he believes to be the most crucial documentary of the year. Bigtree is proud to be working side by side with Andrew Wakefield, one of the most important minds of our time, to create a documentary that will not only alert Americans to the outright destruction of their civil liberties, but will lead the charge to demand the formation of a genuine independent research body conducting legitimate science to ensure that all vaccines are truly safe.

Fred DiDomenico

Dr. Fred DiDomenico graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1987. He knew immediately that Chiropractic was his life purpose and sought after the truth of Chiropractic principles with passion and intention. He believed a subluxated spine caused disease and morbidity and it is our responsibility as Chiropractors to correct the spine to help patients live to their highest potential of health and longevity. Over the years he opened 4 practices in 3 different states - California, North Carolina and Washington over the span of 14 years.  All of these practices were spinal corrective based using CBP techniques and functioned at a volume of 500-700 patient visits per week. Through his practice career he had joined several management groups, all helped him grow and understand practice growth principles.  During this process he discovered thre were several contradictions in the material he learned from management groups vs. the application of CBP systems in his practice.  After years of seeking professional communication training outside Chiropractic with professional communication coaches, life coaches and becoming a professional life coach, he applied a professional coaching model to spinal correction, the most powerful communication system in the profession.  Coupled with his extensive knowledge in spinal correction, he formed Elite Coaching in 2005 to elevate the Chiropractic profession with principled spinal correction.
