The void remains as empty as ever. Dr. Bruce's teachings as valuable as ever. The heart cries out " Why ?" What caused such a marvelous humanitarian, kind and gentle to be taken from us ? Will the cause ever be known to us ? For me, forever an irreplaceable individual without match. Love you Dr. Bruce, always.....

Dr. Hedendal had a chiropractic office in Gloucester MA back in the 1970's. I had terrible back problems and he got me on the road to recovery. I'm saddened to just now have learned that he passed on five years ago. He was a kind and caring healer, and I will be forever grateful for all that he taught me. He knew how to steer a person in the right direction toward health. God bless him. The world is a lesser place for his loss.

It is hard to believe that it is 4 years. My heart still hurts. I speak of you often. I have been so ill and in pain. I know if you were alive today that you would be able to help me. Then I cry when I say this.There is no one in this world that is like you. If you know someone, Please send someone to help me. I miss you. You truly were an amazing doctor and friend.

After first listening to his radio broadcasts on the local station, I met Dr Bruce Eric Hedendal at the Park Road Holistic Center in Brisbane, Australia in 2001.

I was into body building and had a problem re despite working out every day and remaining on a strict diet, I could not get rid of a stubborn band of midriff tissue [fat].

He did a saliva analysis and formulated a diet based on my blood group, he told me the midriff issue was caused by fructose from the high glycemic index fruit I had been consuming.

He drew a diagram on a whiteboard and declared "fat doesn't make you fat, sugar and carbohydrates make you fat!"

He was an enjoyable guy to listen to on the radio and a pleasure to meet, condolences go out to his family :)

I just at this late date learned that Bruce had passed. We were classsmates at Columbia Institute of Chiropractic and graduated together in 1974. We both located to Massachusetts after graduation. Bruce was one of the most talented and gifted chiropractors it has been my privledge to know. He was a gentle and generous man. My sympathys to his family, patients and friends. Dr Jim Hartigan

I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Hedendal.He truly was an amazing healer and such a kind hearted person.I still am trying to understand the passing of four other holistic doctors within a one month period.Seems a bit strange for me to comprehend.That being said he was a great person and will be missed by all that were lucky enough to have known him.God bless.

I found this posting on FB today. I had heard of the unusual coincidence of 5 Alternative Medicine Doctors all dying with a month. As I read the posting, I was shocked and saddened to learn the one of the Doctors was a good very from my past,Dr. Bruce Hedendal, DC Ph.D. He is the bright man in the green scrubs. I meet Bruce in Boston in the early seventies. We became quick friends. We meet through studies with Michio Kushi. Bruce had recently opened his practice in Harvard Square located in Cambridge, MA. my home town. I went to his office to be adjusted. Bruce had a great touch with amazing healing hands. When we finished, we discussed my future in natural medicine. Bruce suggested I go to Chiropractic College and even advised studying the method of treatment called SOT. Sacral Occipital Technigue which was a very holistic approach. I did both and use the whole body method today after 38 years of practice. We met often at annual seminars. One training we both took for several years involved the use crystals for energy healing. it was always a joy to see his smiling face. Bruce will be missed personally and as a planetary healer.

I helped Bruce and Ellie have a VBAC birth many, many years ago - they took my childbirth classes and I stayed friendly with them for years - I am still in touch with Ellen. He introduced my family to a number of different forms of alternative healing - for which we have always been grateful. I am so very sorry and so very shocked to hear about his death.

Dr Hedendal was a powerful and positive influence in my life. I would feel euphoric in his presence and for many days afterwards.
Now I see he had the same effect on just about everyone he came in contact with.
He just had special qualities that are beyond words. He will be thought of often and greatly missed.

By the way...Happy 4th of July, but who needs fireworks, you were a bright light to so many. For the entire family, may God continue to bless you with strength and keep you in his care.

I was introduced to Dr. Bruce Hedendal by a friend. After the first appointment, I became a faithful patient even though I live in the Bahamas. Dr. Bruce changed my life and taught me how to live a healthy life. I looked forward to Bruce hugs and all of the healing energy and knowledge from every appointment. I was able to be his patient for years. Then I lost touch but thankfully a few years ago I was able to be his patient again and I was so elated. His humour and beautiful attitude were so invigorating. And when I was not in the U.S. I would listen to his radio show. I am so sorry for Dr. Hedendal's family's loss. My heart goes out to you. Dr. Bruce will live forever in the hearts of all he touched. God bless.

I knew Bruce Hedendal as a remarkable healer, whose compassion and integrity as a person were exceptional. We have lost someone whose qualities are especially rare in a world that is increasingly closed to spiritual awareness, which is the basis of all true healing.
May it help his familiy to know how much he meant to yet another person he helped to heal.

To The Hedendal Family, I met your wonderful family in l992 when I was blessed to come to your home 1-2 times a week to work with Iam and Mani. The house was always filled with loving spirit.I followed your dad on the radio and was a patient for a short time. I was blessed to befriend your mom who never knew how much I admired her for her strength, spirituality and deep love and healing toward others. When I met Dr. Bruce he had a beard and was my health Guru before eating healthy and even drinking pure water was popular. He always practiced what he preached and I know he touched many lives and changed many minds. Loving, Caring, Sharing ...

Dr. Bruce Hedendal was a gift from God. My husband, Barry, was very ill. We had gone to many traditional doctors, with no help. I had prayed to find an answer. Dr. Hedendal was speaking at a local event and I was so impressed with his knowledge, I made an appt. for my husband the next day. That was last Sept. Dr. Bruce saved my husband, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

Dr. Bruce was more than just my holistic doctor. He was my friend. I always looked forward to seeing him for my routine appointments where we would have discussions that included the benefits of holistic medicine. I was honored to be invited to his "Celebration of Life" Service at the Unity Church in Delray on Thursday, June 25th. I will dearly miss Dr. Bruce! With My All My Blessings, M. Lawrence Waxler

To all of you, thank you. These messages are overwhelming. I'm left speechless and in total shock. I keep reaching for the hugs you are all remembering him by, and I have to be ok with the fact that I feel so lost in this grief. I just want anyone who he loved & who loved him that comes across this message to you, that I am sorry if you found out after the service or had to find out about it on your own. If we all had the wherewithal to do so, we would have reached out. The lists of people he cherished that were not notified has kept me up most nights since he left me and all of us. I'm sorry. ♡

To the Family of Bruce-
Although I've never met you, I want you to know how sorry I am to hear of Bruce's passing. He adjusted me in his home before he graduated chiropractic school, helping me when no one else was able to. His adjustments not only helped correct my spinal problem, it changed my life. As a result, I've been a chiropractor for 38 years, practicing the same technique Bruce used to help me. My appreciation for all he did for me is more than I can express.
I am very sorry for your loss.

I am still in shock over the passing of Dr. Bruce, and feeling a great deal of sadness. There is such a void. However, a fact that remains and many would agree, and that is, there is only one and ever will be Dr. Bruce Hedendal. There is not enough space or words to describe this wonderful man. He has left such a lasting imprint on my life. From his passion of truly help others, loving, caring, his laughter, his joking, his ability to calm any given situation, his intelligence, dedication, compassion, great educator, his wisdom and his healing hands. God truly used him as an instrument in helping and changing the lives of so many, and for that he will be rewarded and blessed. Wow...what a legacy. You will forever be in our hearts. Many prayers for the family he so treasured. May the Lord bless each of you with strength and peace. To Cynthia, who is like family and very much adored. Cynthia and Jamie will also be remembered in prayers during this difficult time. We miss you Dr. Bruce, and definitely miss all those hugs!!! There are hugs waiting for you in heaven. :)

He was brilliant, caring, loving and so passionate about getting the truth out! I feel so blessed to have been his patient, he taught me so much! His presence alone brought a feeling of peace and a huge smile to my face. I absolutely cannot imagine the pain his family is feeling. Cynthia and Jamie... I don't even know what to say.

Dr. Bruce was such an amazing doctor, athlete, and great friend! He was such a caring person and an inspiration to so many! My kids loved and adored him and looked so forward to seeing him and laughing with him every week. May God shower his family with strength and peace. Words cannot express how he will be missed!
