About Our Founder
Meredith Rose
I spent years battling my own addictions...
It wasn’t until July 2015 that I became acquainted with Heantos. A year and a half later I flew to Vietnam, met with Dr. Sung and founded Heantos Worldwide LLC. My mission is and always has been to make Heantos affordable and accessible for all.
In 2015 Heantos was a lot more expensive and less accessible than it is today.
I originally went to Vietnam to procure Heantos for myself and through that all this blossomed.
I spent the next several years traveling, learning and evolving.
In March 2020 my travels returned me to Peru. Just days after landing the COVID lockdowns hit. For the next 8 months the airports were only making repatriation flights. My plans to return back to Asia were indefinitely interrupted. I decided to embrace my new situation. I welcomed the groundedness.
I dove into music, meditation and online learning. Originally I was supposed to stay in Peru just a couple of weeks. I was making my way into the Brazilian Amazon. I was returning to a people who made a big impact on my life at a time before this story.
I wasn’t in Peru long before I was reunited with the tribes. Tribes from all over began to reach out to me and ask for support.
The only answer I had was yes. Native peoples are the carriers of so much healing knowledge.
Knowledge most of us have forgotten. Dr. Dan was a seeker of this knowledge.
He traveled across Vietnam collecting more than 100 herbal potions. These herbal formulations were used as a substitute for opium. The Hmong people have used these herbal formulations for generations. Out of this Heantos was born. A major initiative was launched in 1997 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) partnered with the Government of Vietnam & the Chemical Dependency Center at John Hopkins. There have been many wonderful people collaborating on this project for years. Dr. Anthony Phillips & Dr. Michael Krause, from University British Colombia, first traveled to Vietnam in 2009. 13 years later they are still working closely with Dr. Tran Van Sung.
The Vietnamese Institute of Photochemistry and Academy of Science has been working with the natural health product Heantos for the past 30 years.
Every venom has an anti-venom. There is a balance in nature.
If we trust and work within nature we can heal ourselves. This is what i have learned in my own personal healing journey. For generations the Hmong people have gathered herbs that grow close to the poppie as a natural anti-venom. Instead of distorting nature they work with it. All the indigenous tribes I have worked with hold to this wisdom. At least 40% of our pharmaceuticals are derived from plants and at least 25% of these plants are from the Amazon rain forest. The knowledge of the healing powers of the plants are held within the indigenous people. I am currently located in Pisac Peru. Here I have built a community center supporting indigenous people and based around mutual healing. I am currently overseeing several projects to help communities in the Brazilian Amazon.
My dear friends and I have cocreated the Haux Movement. A non for profit healing movement based in Indigenous Reciprocity.
Kene.Ibu, a way to support indigenous women through art, is just a small part of that.
I have been speaking to people a lot about harm reduction and natural paths to healing. I recently shared my experience with PEAC at the University of California San Francisco.
At Chispa Wasi we are now hosting live recovery meetings twice a month. You are welcome to join us.
Heantos has been such a useful tool in my own recovery. Now I am happy to be able to share this tool with others. Discovering Heantos Revolutionized My Life. Feel free to reach out anytime. I am always so happy to share my experience with others.
