Alan "Laughing Bear" Walker, also known as
Bear Walker, claims to be an Anishinaabe medicine man. He operates a business,
Circle of Health Wellness, in Farmington, Connecticut.
Based on information obtained from publicly available records, Alan "Laughing Bear" Walker AKA Bear Walker is a white man named Paul Manning. I'm going to refer to him as "Bear Walker" throughout the rest of this post as it's the name he's using publicly.
This article written by Bear Walker provides a good overview of his claims and beliefs:
QuoteI was blessed to grow up with the master of ancient wisdom my grandfather, an Anishanabe Elder. His simple wisdom and insight were a huge part of my early training and he never tired of my constant questions. I learned of the sacred teachings of the Medwiwins in the Anishanabe tribe. The closest name or word for Medwiwin in today's language would be Shaman. So my beloved Grandfather taught me the ancient ways of the medicine wheel which are the basis of all our teachings. The medicine wheel was a gift from Great Spirit to our tribe. From the earliest time we used the wheel to mark time and honor the four directions and the four elements: fire, earth, water, and wind/air. From these ways we find our balance.
In addition to English, my grandfather had difficulty understanding time. He never wore a watch, and was never on time. He couldn't get the concept of time for money, ten dollars for an hour's work. But "in the moment" was a sacred concept.
It had to do with being inside of the center of time. It had to do with slowing the speed of time down, and going into the gap. We also honored what he called a golden moment. We would often meet at sunrise sitting in the silence waiting for the first spark of light, and I still remember the magic feeling of the golden moment. We would sit there on a rock overlooking the water. As the sun slowly but magnificently rose, we were in the center of the golden moment. We could feel the vibration, see the color, smell the crisp power, hear the complete silence and taste the sweetness of the golden dew.
No matter where I have traveled since, and I have traveled all over this amazing earth, the beauty of the concept of the golden moment has always been a part of everything I do. You are probably asking by now, what does all this have to do with transformation from the 4th to 5th dimension? Well, I will tell you.
First, let's be clear on what I mean by 4th dimensional bodies. We all know what the 3 dimensions are, right? Height, width, and depth. You know, 3D people. The fourth dimension is the experience of time or maybe better said "the illusion of time." But then again maybe all of the four dimensions are illusions!
After my first 18 years of being with my grandfather and his simple but profound ancient teachings, I started training with some of the most advanced teachers in the world, specializing in cellular biology and quantum physics.
My studying took me from northern Michigan to Toronto, then Pittsburgh, ending up at NASA working with computers that interface with our body, reading the electrical impulses that our bodies put off (galvanic skin resistance), and transferring these impulses to binary codes that computers understand.
From The Quantum Perspective
Bodies are made of cells. Cells break down to energy, waves and particles. In simple terms:
- everything is made of atoms,
- atoms are made of energy
- energy comes from consciousness.
All energy starts in the center. Whether we speak about zero point gravity, quantum atomic potential, or being in the moment, the power is in the center of the wheel and you can get to the center by slowing everything down. You can move from a 4th dimensional experience to a 5th dimensional transformation by slowing it down. Deepak Chopra uses the word "the gap." This is also an ancient teaching of the Vedic masters. It's in the gap, at the center of the wheel, that we connect with unlimited potentiality. So many of you have had that experience. For me, it was the golden moment I described earlier. It can happen gardening, during yoga, or even driving. You might say something like, where did the time go, or wow, how did I get here? You went out of 4th dimension illusions into 5th dimension potentiality. It is amazing!
Over my many years of practice I have seen people helped by various incredible remedies, herbal medicine, proper nutrition, special diet, and so on. I am now and will continue to be an advocate for all of these. However, I firmly believe that the future of medicine will be in the aiding of all people to connect to the 5th dimension. By doing so, we will activate and accelerate our DNA to take us where we were created to go. I have compared where we are now to having a Lamborghini and driving it around in first gear while applying the brake. The 5th dimension transformation is putting the car in 5th gear with the pedal to the metal, so to speak.
We are magnificent powerful beings! Let us awaken to the power we were meant to have. It has been said many times that we are in the age of information. Let's take that word apart 'in form', or 'holding form' is 4th dimension. We now are moving into the age of inspiration or 'in spirit', 5th dimension. What an amazing time this will be! Let all of us use our power from our centers to move into these sacred times!

Real Name & GenealogyI found Bear Walker's profile on a popular people search website. His profile contained a long list of "also known as" names which included
Paul Manning. Information provided by Bear Walker in the podcast linked above led to a
Paul Manning with the same date of birth as Bear Walker. A yearbook photo of Paul Manning is attached to this post to show the resemblance to Bear Walker. It's clearly the same person.
Who is Paul Manning?Paul Manning was born to Harold Jennings Manning and Juanita Joyce (Mayo) Manning in April 1957 in the lower peninsula of Michigan. He attended Midland High School in Midland, Michigan

GENEALOGY SUMMARYI'm only posting Bear Walker's great-grandparents at this point in time but can post additional information if requested. He is predominantly Irish and French-Canadian.
BEAR WALKER AKA PAUL MANNING IS NOT ANISHINAABE.
CLAIM: MEDICINE MAN GRANDFATHERBear Walker's most specific (and bizarre) claim is that his grandfather was an Anishinaabe medicine man. This grandfather supposedly lived on the reservation and provided care to the tribe.
Bear Walker talks about being a teenager while spending time with his grandfather. His paternal grandfather, Benjamin Wade Manning, died in 1961 which rules him out.
Paternal Grandfather of Bear WalkerBenjamin Wade Manning B: 19 Mar 1893 - Michigan, USA
D: 1 Nov 1961 - Alpena County, Michigan, USA
That leaves his maternal grandfather, George A. Mayo, who didn't die until 1984.

D: 20 Nov 1984 - Petoskey, Emmet, Michigan, USA
I've attached George A. Mayo's obituary. Bear Walker says his grandfather didn't understand English...or time. George A. Mayo was a metallurgist and denoted as "white" and an English speaker on all records. He doesn't even slightly fit Bear Walker's description which rules him out.
Clearly, Bear Walker is lying about being Anishinaabe. He never lived on the reservation and his grandfather wasn't a medicine man.
I think there is more to uncover about Bear Walker in regards to his medical claims and business. I found a reference to a hearing in the Connecticut State Board of Naturopathic Examiners minutes but can't find the outcome of the hearing:

Smite, your work here is impressive!
Bear Walker's claim "my grandfather had difficulty understanding time. He never wore a watch, and was never on time." is so ridiculous and rude.
He is involved in SO many scams.
He is "hormone certified" in whatever this is: https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/pages/practitioner-locator?srsltid=AU7gw4WvSGcPLYm4DJso3F3X5vyovS4nDwaHcMAJD4XXOzPnTDMIa0Nu
Here is the past website he listed related to that scam https://web.archive.org/web/20250416012712/https://drbearwalker.com/
Email used for his involvement in that scam has the name Erin Fredericks in it, here she is: https://erinfredericks.com/

He wears a white coat in this ad so he must be legit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM0N_hDyUcE&t=3s In this video he is seen using his fraud machine.
This is an enraging video to watch. It includes the supposed story of a young athlete who began having breathing difficulties. Instead of taking her to licensed medical, her mother was convinced by Walker to send him a DNA sample. The mother now quarterly sends him samples and then does whatever diet changes etc. he concocts. Which means steady money for him.
