Dr. Jameth Sheridan Memorial Announcement
Dr. Jameth Sheridan, HealthForce co-founder and formulator, crossed over into the realm of Spirit on March 14, 2016. After 25+ years of hard work, tremendous personal sacrifice, and dedication to making the world a healthier and more compassionate place, the world lost a hero, and Heaven gained an angel.
His wife and co-founder Kim, who was also his best friend and soul mate from an early age, was steeped in unfathomable grief and wasn’t in an emotional state to post an official announcement to anyone at first, not even the HealthForce staff or her own friends and family, and was advised to wait until she had grieved for at least a full year before going public with the information, so we didn’t get the news or the full story right away. However, a mere 6 months later, when she was still weathering the tremendous personal suffering that only a fellow widow or widower can fully comprehend, her privacy was invaded by heartless individuals who felt they had a right to announce her personal loss to the world before she was ready to do so herself. This caused unimaginable suffering for Kim, who learned firsthand how cruel some people can be … but thankfully not all people. The news also also sent shockwaves throughout the HealthForce team, customers, family and friends alike, as Jameth was a larger than life person who was loved by many.
The Sheridans had actually begun unplugging from their stressful public lives two years prior, in 2014, to live off the grid, write books, and pursue their other dreams, including studying Permaculture and veganic farming methods for more sustainable living. So Jameth had stepped down from his position as HealthForce CEO, moved away, and was finally pursuing his dream of living off the land and developing farming methods to help save the world. His goal was to then put the power into the people’s hands to grow and create their own plant-based food supplements in their own yards rather than having to rely on products in bottles, which he always said was second-best but usually the best people could do in the modern world. Sadly, he never got to see his dream come to full fruition, and our hearts were broken for what his widowed soul mate must have gone through.
Jameth ultimately passed due to an unexpected complication from septic shock, but this was after a long and complicated journey, which he was writing about in a forthcoming book that Kim will eventually complete. Jameth was actually battling health complications from an early age, and his interest in health, which began in his teenage years, not only helped him to deal with his own health issues but also enabled him to share that knowledge to help others, which was always his passion. In fact, he usually spent more time helping others than taking care of himself. Anyone who knew him personally knew that this is just the kind of person he was. He was always the one to stop and help people at the side of the road when everyone else just whizzed by, regardless of how exhausted or hungry or late he was to his next destination. These are traits of a rare and true hero; a truly compassionate soul.
These traits began in early childhood, as he was also the boy who stood up for other children on the playground even if it meant he ended up being the one who got attacked instead. By the end of his teenage years, he instinctively knew he needed to do more for his health than than average person, and intensive study in Iridology confirmed that he was born with tremendous genetic weaknesses. In fact, Iridology professionals often used him as an example of a person with the worst genetic constitution they had ever seen. He was told on more than one occasion that he “had his work cut out for him” right there in his own body.
Jameth always kept a positive attitude and felt that perhaps all of his genetic weaknesses were somehow Divinely ordained, putting him in the unique position of having to go the extra mile to really understand how to keep the body healthy – even if that body starts out with tremendous disadvantage. By the age of twenty, he already had early stage kidney cancer of a very aggressive form. He didn’t yet realize exactly what he was dealing with or just how aggressive it really was.
Thanks to adopting a pure organic raw food vegan diet, coupled with superfood formulas that he created to help bolster his health, he managed to regain his health and survive far longer than people typically survive this form of cancer, which is considered un-treatable by mainstream medicine. Proponents of the usual chemo and radiation agree that those therapies don’t even work for the type of cancer he had, and they told him their best bet is to surgically remove the kidney and hope for the best. Rather than having his kidney removed and hoping for the best, he began looking at statistics and kept track of countless real-world cases of kidney cancer over the years.
100% of the cases he studied, who had the kidney removed even in stage 1, still ended up with metastatic cancer that eventually killed them. He was determined to find a better way. He again always kept a positive attitude, feeling that the fact that he had an extra difficult form of cancer was also Divinely ordained, making his mission to find a cure more important, as he would be able to help even the toughest and most aggressive cases of cancer.
Jameth was making great strides in cancer research and unfortunately was often under attack behind the scenes for his research and intention to eventually go public with the alternative cures he uncovered. He was literally a walking laboratory with the goal of using what he learned to help countless others, regardless of the risk it posed to his own safety.
He did remarkably well for decades, despite the odds being against him, compounded by the constant stress of being under relentless attack from both sides of the fence (both the mainstream and the alternative), as true pioneers often are. The only hope for his particular type of cancer (with a lot of very similar traits to aggressive melanoma) was intense immune therapy. As anyone knows, constant stress is the antithesis of immune therapy, so it was his nutrition alone that got him through for so long under the circumstances.
Unfortunately, he ended up running two companies and having separate cell phones for each of the two companies, which he kept clipped to the top of his belt for over 10 years, both flanking his right kidney, not realizing until too late that he had added tremendous fuel to the fire, and the beast that he had conquered for so long was back. Yet again, he kept a remarkably positive attitude, feeling that this too was somehow Divinely ordained, as it led him to do tremendous research into the connection between cell phones (and WiFi in general) and cancer.
This became yet another mission of his, and he made great strides in researching ways to reduce cell phone radiation and WiFi as much as possible while still living in the modern world. He met with countless other people at alternative cancer clinics who had cancers exactly where they kept their cell phones on their bodies (breast cancer in women with tumors exactly where they kept their cell phones in their bras, brain cancer in those who held up their cell phones to their heads for hours per day, and others types of cancer directly correlating to where people clipped their cell phones on their belts or other part of their bodies); and he became a source of inspiration for others with kidney cancer who learned from him that there WAS hope of living far longer than their dire prognosis.
Jameth soon realized that there was a tremendous cover-up behind the true dangers of cell phones, and he was working on going public with this information in a much larger way, again often personally attacked behind the scenes for wanting to stand up for what was right.
Ultimately, and with the insistence of his worried wife, Jameth realized he was spending too much time trying to help others and not nearly enough time taking care of himself. So he tried numerous times to step away from the stressful position of being CEO of a pioneering company constantly under fire, but the company kept being unfairly attacked, so he continually felt it was his duty to step back in and defend the company rather than taking care of himself.
When the Prop 65 situation began its brutal attack on the natural products industry at large (some speculate that this can be traced back to conflicting special interests or opportunistic money-grabbers, but we won’t venture into that territory), it became an intense passion of his to research the natural occurrence of heavy metals in natural foods, the balance of nature, and how this differs from the occurrence of heavy metals in inorganic substances.
He insisted on spending tremendous amounts of money on this research, meticulously testing every product and every ingredient with a cutting-edge in-house research lab (for which he spared no expense) and also via independent third party research labs. Whenever a batch didn’t meet his approval (even if it was “good enough” according to industry standards), he insisted on dumping the product and starting over.
This level of dedication cost HealthForce a lot of money, but his mission was never about profit; it was about the truth and about helping people and making the world a better place. When the Prop 65 legislation first took effect in California and began demanding that companies in the natural products industry put warning labels on health products regardless of those products’ proven track record of helping people, he felt the most honorable thing to do was to fight this legislation for the sake of preserving the natural products industry and not allowing what he felt was an evil agenda trying to take down the natural/alternative industry as a whole.
(NOTE: In keeping Prop 65 compliant, we hereby make the disclaimer that these statements are not official HealthForce statements regarding Prop 65 or its agenda; this is simply the accurate telling of one man’s motives behind standing up for a cause he believed in.)
Jameth soon learned the hard way that this was no less than stepping into a lion’s den without any armor, and HealthForce was in over its head, so he backed down, spearheaded a product recall, and approved having the Prop 65 stickers applied as required to products shipped to California. However, because of his initial attempts to fight the attack, he succumbed to huge legal fees that HealthForce struggled for a long time to pay. So, once again he was being attacked and harmed for standing up for a cause he felt it was important enough to stand up for, a common theme throughout his life, and throughout human history.
Along the way, Jameth and Kim discovered all of the emotional components that have significant involvement in human health issues. Beyond the obvious correlation between stress and the immune system, and how it relates to the disease process, they began uncovering the lesser known but very strong correlation between early childhood emotional wounds and adulthood cancers, and this became yet another passion of theirs, with the intention of helping others.
They also began to realize the importance of living one’s dreams in order to fully self-actualize and overcome disease, so Jameth began exploring all of his goals and dreams and deciding what he wanted to do with the second half of his life. Ultimately, he began putting together all the pieces he had learned through decades of research into diet/nutrition/lifestyle, cell phones and WiFi, stress, emotional wounds, and living one’s full purpose.
Throughout this process, and throughout his life, Jameth helped many others along the way. He and Kim used their knowledge to help both people and animals to overcome a whole host of conditions, and they gained a reputation among veterinarians for having rescued animals who live far longer than they are “supposed” to live, by feeding them a uniquely healthy organic vegan diet along with the superfood formulas they created. The health and longevity of their own companion animals, in addition to the health and youthfulness of their own family, are a testament to the value of the products they formulated.
As the final leg of his journey, Jameth decided it was time to realize his own unfulfilled dreams. So by 2015 he had stepped down fully from HealthForce, put a trusted long time friend in place behind the scenes to make sure the company continued running according to his standards of highest integrity, and put plans into action to unplug and go off-grid with his wife and beloved soul mate to finally live their unfulfilled dreams together after spending the first 25 years of their relationship helping others at their own sacrifice.
In doing so, they began making significant progress in Jameth’s healing, and he was so close to beating the cancer completely and permanently, with plans to then share this cancer cure with the world, when he suddenly, unexpectedly, and tragically incurred a wound that caused an undetected blood infection and as a result, he went into septic shock and Kim rushed him to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
It was actually complications from the treatment of the septic shock in the ICU that caused heart failure, which ultimately killed him, leading his beloved wife Kim down a spiral of emotional hell that can only be truly understood by someone who has lost a soul mate with whom they have been inseparable for the majority of their life.
Half of Kim had died, and after fighting for the life of her beloved husband/best friend in the ICU among medical personnel who “decided” he was a goner as soon as they found out he had been battling an aggressive form of cancer (not knowing the whole story or how much progress he had made and that he had nearly beat it – or perhaps not wanting to open their minds to the fact that alternative therapies really do work and he would be spearheading this truth), she lost the love of her life and fell into a state of deep emotional pain that is beyond words and beyond comfort. So she chose to go within and couldn’t face the devastation of even discussing it with her own friends and family, let alone those of us still running HealthForce after they had moved on. No one can say what someone else’s grief should look like, or how they will handle it themselves until the unthinkable happens.
Jameth’s wife Kim is actually an afterlife researcher who had already devoted a considerable amount of her own life (with Jameth’s ongoing support and assistance behind the scenes) doing work to help those grieving the loss of their beloved pets. Like Jameth, she had always walked a path of true integrity from childhood on, often helping others at her own expense, and standing up for others (including animals) even when others criticized her for being a voice for the voiceless. She has rescued countless animals over the decades, even small animals with shorter life spans, so she already had tremendous experience in grief and loss. She had also lost several very close friends over the years.
Kim often said that, as painful as it was, she felt all the grief and loss she experienced was for the greater good, as it enabled her to help many others in a way that can only be done by someone with firsthand experience. Sadly, she then faced the biggest type of loss a human being can fathom: the loss of a soul mate, a best friend, a life partner, a twin, so to speak. She had truly lost her other half, and we fully respect and understand that she wasn’t ready to talk to anyone about it at first. Anyone with an ounce of compassion would understand that.
In fact, she still wasn’t ready when the news was announced to the world in a very cruel way by a heartless competitor who snooped into someone else’s personal business, so circumstances beyond her control forced her to tell the story in response to an inaccurate attack against HealthForce, the company that she and Jameth had worked so hard and sacrificed so much to build from the ground up, literally starting out homeless and putting everything into a business and a cause they believed in, originally hand writing, Xeroxing, and stapling catalogs themselves before they could afford a computer; and selling products out of the trunk of the beat-up car they lived in, long before the internet became a place of commerce. They chose to do it the hard way and never to “sell out” and do it the easy way, because they wanted to do things the right way.
The Sheridans spearheaded research and supported causes too numerous to mention here, and their great work goes on in many ways that most people don’t even realize traces back to them and their hard work behind the scenes, never stopping to enjoy life enough, or even get enough sleep, because they were always driven to do good and to help others and to make up for all those who aren’t doing enough. The world lost a high vibration Power Couple and was left with a single broken soul still picking up the pieces.
Under the circumstances, out of respect we asked at the time that this information be treated with the sensitivity in which it is being presented here. This was not a piece of gossip to slander over the internet. This was the story of a truly unique soul who went above and beyond to make a positive difference in the world, often at his own expense, and it is also the tragic love story of real life people with real emotions and real hearts that break when dealt such a shocking blow. Jameth’s wife Kim has been dealt that blow, and in time she will heal and be better equipped to share the full version of this story and help the world in a much larger way. That story will be told. For now, we all need to allow her privacy and space to grieve in her own way and in her own time.
HealthForce, too, is still grieving the loss of this incredible man who did so much for the world. His love for humanity, the Earth, and all beings – and his unstoppable passion to help others – fueled all of the exhausting work he did while he was here on the Earth plane. Jameth was a pioneer and a visionary leader. In time his controversial theories will meet acceptance at large, as is often the case with those who effect positive change in the world.
We believe he will now be able to see this eventual acceptance from a higher vantage point. He was a powerful warrior and a compassionate loving soul. He dedicated his life to helping others heal, helping animals, and taking good care of our environment. Jameth touched many people’s lives with his mission, one that he executed with great passion, generosity, and love for the world and everyone in it. His spirit will live on forever through his legacy, which HealthForce continues to carry forward.
To honor Jameth’s life, we expanded our product offerings over the years to encompass more of the essential tools that we all need to thrive in the modern world. Quality nutrition is an excellent foundation, but in addition to that, there are other important aspects of health, which we intend to illuminate and support in his honor when time permits.
May Dr. Jameth Sheridan rest in peace, as his legacy is carried forward. Knowing Jameth, he’s likely very busy in Heaven now, making a positive difference there, too.
