Albert Chen Founder

@masteralbertchen

Albert is a former tech entrepreneur who suffered from debilitating sciatica due to a back injury over 30 years ago. After exhausting all conventional treatment options, he encountered a rare Qigong Master who healed his sciatica without physical contact. The experience was both incredible and transformative.

“If this is real, this is the most valuable thing in the world. If this can really fix chronic pain, this will change the world.”

Inspired by this healing, Albert dedicated the next 25+ years to training under his master, researching rare healing modalities and other human potential abilities. Today, he is recognized as one of the top qigong masters. To preserve this rare lineage and expand its impact, he founded Vitalium.

John Chavez Co-Founder

John Chavez is the founder of the non-profit organization DMT Quest which formally launched in 2021. DMT Quest has a primary focus on facilitating research regarding endogenous psychedelics and altered states of consciousness. He was inspired to form this organization following a life-changing, mystical-type experience in 2013 that thrust him into the field of the supernormal.

Prior to this experience, John had been immersed in the fields of sports marketing with an earlier career in the biotech industry. Following the 2013 experience, he wrote 2 books titled, “Questions for the Lion Tamer 1 & 2” which focus on the physiological correlates of supernormal states of consciousness. These books would provide the framework with which DMT Quest research programs are based upon.

In 2021, DMT Quest would release its first documentary which received accolades from globally recognized figures such as author Graham Hancock, human potential pioneer Wim Hof, and the extraordinary artist Alex Grey. The vision for Vitalium is to combine key aspects of DMT Quest in order to provide optimal research, media, and communicative strategies to educate the general public regarding the supernormal.
