Many of us are frustrated with the slow pace of positive change. We see rights being taken away. We see institutions meant to protect us being hostile. We see no accountability. We are troubled. We are lost. Worse, we are tired. We have stopped believing we will be delivered. We have stopped believing things can be made right.

Some of us have fallen back into the spell of fear. And it is a spell. Your fear announces that you have forgotten who and what you are.

Fear and Intimidation

I have witnessed fear in the last couple of weeks. The Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA) is preparing for the World’s Greatest Health Show. It will be broadcast online for three weeks starting on October 4th, when we start to drive the Charter of Health Freedom across Canada to Ottawa.

This is no ordinary health show. We are inviting ordinary Canadians to share the forbidden truth that they are only alive or well because of natural remedies. People have been lining up to share their stories. Some of these have backed out because of fear.

I was asked not to use an interview with a doctor who was afraid of retribution from the authorities for a couple of things said during the first interview. I had a manufacturer back out of an interview. He was afraid of Health Canada retribution. The family company has been so terrorized by the government in the past that they are terrified of any attention.

If this wasn’t enough, we have had several health food stores tell us they support what we are doing, but will not participate because they are afraid of being identified. They tell us they are thankful for what we are doing, but they will not help.

They are afraid to stand up. They are afraid to be counted. I grieve for them. Their biggest regret on their deathbed will be that they didn’t follow their destiny. They cowered. They missed the adventure set out for them.

Stories of Bravery

Fortunately, I am experiencing much more bravery and excitement. The Health Show will be the first time that Canadians will come together to share their incredible health journeys. This will change lives. We need to understand how important our access to natural remedies is.

For example, Marian will be sharing that while she was working at Health Canada, she suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so severely that she could not do anything outside of work.

Once, she got fed up and decided that she would go out for dinner with a friend. She could never sleep at night, so she took the day off from work to nap before the dinner. Despite these efforts, she passed out during the meal and fell face-first into her food. That ended any future outings.

She was not safe to drive home after work unless she had a nap at Health Canada first. She was afraid of passing out in her car. She consulted with Canada’s leading expert in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, only to learn that the medical system had no remedy.

She was disabled and depressed. She shared that she would have killed herself if she had not found a remedy.

For Marian, finding a remedy was a matter of life and death. She found her remedy—a natural one. Decades later, she has never looked back.

Marian isn’t afraid to share her story. She understands that we must protect our natural remedies. She understands that we cannot let her former employer, Health Canada, put our lives in danger.

Marian’s story is one of many. Be prepared to be changed by the stories. Be prepared to be made strong.

A Movement That Cannot Be Stopped

We are at the beginning of a change that cannot be stopped. The Health Show is an exciting opportunity to participate in that change.

Participate by sharing your story. Do what you can to encourage your family and friends to watch. Join us at the live events as we travel the land. We will share our stories as the Health Charter is driven across Canada. We will share in the community God gives us along the three-week journey.

When we arrive in Ottawa on October 25th, we will stand together free of fear.
