Another Holistic Doctor Found Dead – 11 Mysterious Deaths Since June

• Dr. Gaynor’s death is a sad and tragic loss, not only to his family and friends, but also to those of us who seek alternative healing therapies.
  What makes Dr. Gaynor’s death alarming, however, is the fact that he is the 11th holistic/alternative medical practitioner to be found dead in under three months and under unusual or suspicious circumstances. Apparently, some of these doctors had recently had encounters with federal agents. Is there a connection between them all? It seems fairly likely given the high number of deaths and the similarities between the kinds of work that they did.
  Here are the names and details of the other doctors who we recently lost.
   
• Mary Rene Bovier, 65, of Sharon, Pa., who was found dead in her home in an apparent stabbing on Aug. 12. Police are investigating it as a homicide.
