Executive Director’s Message

On Thursday evening, Katherine Wright, a registered clinical counsellor and music therapist from North Vancouver, hosted our latest CHA New Health Series training course on Music Healing. Given the calibre of the presentation and the engaging interactive nature of the session I was a bit disappointed by the turn-out, as EVERYONE should have attended it! There was just so much to learn.

At numerous points throughout the evening, Katherine played music for us to experience how it impacted our thoughts and feelings, and ultimately improved our wellbeing.

Halfway through the session I realized why (at least in my humble opinion) music works so effectively as a healing tool, and why we will eventually win this war against the darkness that is trying to constrain, poison and imprison us.

Much of the music that Katherine played for us was ‘modern classical’ and it was soul-stirringly beautiful. I can certainly appreciate how it can make people struggling with pain, or in post-surgery recovery feel better. But for me the aesthetic beauty of the music was the key thing because you could feel it raise your vibrational frequency, and in so doing, it also raised your confidence, your optimism and your willingness to actually make the world a better place. And those are the exact things we need to get through this Time of Madness.

So, right now, at the start of this weekend, I would encourage you all to put aside your fears, and take the time to literally “smell the roses.” It is Spring, and there are flowers everywhere (even here in the Prairies now!) and we just need to step back and appreciate the beauty of nature, appreciate the majesty of our amazing country, and – yes – appreciate the beauty of music and how it lifts our spirits, boosts our immune system and reminds us of what it means to be truly human and relish all the divinity that comes with it!
Don’t miss our next CHA training course. They’re worth every penny!! 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Wins of the Week

For all the distractions we are facing in the mainstream media, this last week we still managed to chalk-up a good spread of local, national and international wins…

1. As you know, I recently visited Duncan on Vancouver Island and while there got to hear about how the farmers in the Cowichan Valley are being threatened by the imposition of the anti-farming, anti-food globalist agenda. Often people feel powerless, yet the people of the Cowichan have scored a reprieve with their coordinated protests and pressure. As the Epoch Times reported, “A planned overhaul of rural zoning rules in Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley, a region of small farms, artisanal shops, and lifestyle-focused residents, has been put on hold after weeks of public backlash. The Cowichan Valley Regional District has voted to pause its proposed Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw for six months, following protests, packed meetings, and concerns from residents who say the changes would significantly affect the quality of rural life. At the centre of the dispute is a clash between global planning priorities shaping local zoning, focused on “environmental protection,” housing regulation, and standardized land-use rules, and the practical realities of rural living. It’s a situation that’s increasingly playing out in communities across Canada and beyond, where many could do well to follow the example set by the people of the Cowichan.
2. On Monday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a major pivot in America’s mental healthcare policies as the secretary seeks to roll back the chronic overmedicalization that continues to plague millions of Americans. Kennedy stated, “The United States does not just face a mental health crisis, we face a dependency crisis driven by over-medicalization.” The data is clear: one-in-six American adults take an antidepressant. One in 10 children are on prescription medication for their mental health. 30 percent of college students report using psychiatric medications in the past year. And in nursing homes, more than half of the residents are on prescribed antidepressants. Kennedy is directing healthcare providers across the country to expand their use of “non-pharmacologic” treatment for mental health and strengthen informed consent whereby patients are informed of a medication’s risks and side effects. Kennedy also said the traditional doctor-patient relationship must change; instead of a doctor being the sole decision maker on how to treat a patient’s mental health issues, as has been the practice for generations, the HHS will recommend that decision making on treatments will be a shared decision between doctor and patient.
3. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) in the U.S. has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), accusing the agency of unlawfully ignoring a petition to restrict glyphosate residues in oats for more than seven years—despite concerns about risks to children’s health. Filed at the end of April, the case seeks to compel the EPA to respond to a 2018 petition calling for tighter limits on glyphosate in oat-based foods and an end to its use as a pre-harvest drying agent—one of the primary reasons residues are found directly on finished food products. In Canada, similar concerns are playing out. The national charity Safe Food Matters has been engaged in an ongoing legal challenge since 2017 against Health Canada’s Pesticides Regulatory Directorate (formerly the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)) over its continued approval of glyphosate-based herbicides. Hopefully the growing pressure in the U.S. will help the Safe Food Matters case.
4. Dr. Joseph Varon, Dr. Paul Marik, and Dr. Ryan Cole sat down recently to trace how institutional medicine arrived at its current moment and what a patient-first alternative actually looks like from the inside. They state: “The trust problem in medicine is becoming hard to ignore. Patients feel it. Physicians feel it. The JAMA numbers, a drop from 71% confidence to 40% over the pandemic years, put a figure to something many have been sensing for a while. The more interesting question is what gets built next.”
5. A statement issued at the end of the Joint American Homeopathic Conference, held in Reston, Virginia a few weeks ago, said, “Something is shifting in healthcare, and it is becoming impossible to ignore. As chronic disease continues to rise and trust in conventional systems erodes, the questions are getting louder. Patients are no longer satisfied with symptom management alone. Practitioners are looking beyond protocols. The MAHA movement is helping to bring this reckoning into the open, creating space for approaches that have long been marginalized to be reconsidered – approaches like homeopathy…”
6. Last weekend, U.S. President ‌Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing a proposed new pipeline project to transport Canadian oil into the United States, reviving part of the cancelled Keystone XL pipeline. The project will now start constructing a 1,038-kilometre pipeline, which would begin near the Alberta–U.S. border in Montana and finish in Wyoming. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said that the new pipeline would increase Canada’s crude oil exports to the United States by more than 12% to deliver more than an additional half a million barrels of oil a day to American refineries. She said, “The U.S. is our most important trading partner, and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.” Given the increased global price of oil, this will be a massive financial generator for Alberta.
7. Although it is a small win which passed fairly quietly last week, the fact that the Bank of Canada has held its prime lending rate at the same 2.25% level for four straight quarters is a good thing for struggling Canadian families who couldn’t have dealt with any more financial pain, especially given the recent burden of the soaring fuel prices, and how this, in turn, is pushing up all grocery and food costs.
8. We are all well aware of the nefarious machinations of the World Health Organization (the WHO) and how for years now they have been planning a global power-grab by forcing through their ‘Pandemic Agreement’ and the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). Although there has been growing discontent amongst the members of the WHO, a year ago we were all stunned when the organization announced that The Pandemic Agreement had been “adopted” on May 20, 2025 which they basically forced through without full discussion or agreement. Well, now, due to the growing pressure for accountability, there is a problem. Last weekend, long time anti-WHO advocate, James Roguski announced that, “The Pandemic Agreement that was “adopted” May 20, 2025 cannot be signed until the PABS (which stands for the ‘Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing System’) Annex has been agreed upon. The negotiations have failed, so they have agreed to continue for another year.” This is very significant, as it adds another year of delay before they can claim full jurisdiction of the health policies and potential mandates in countries such as Canada. Hopefully, collectively, we can all do a lot over the course of this ‘extra’ year we have been given to ensure this is never agreed upon or implemented. 🙂

The BBC headline on Tuesday May 5th implying human-to-human contagion

Should We Be Worried About This Hantavirus ‘Outbreak’?

I am sure you all know me well enough by now to know that my unequivocal answer to this question is a resounded NO, as it has been for all the other ‘next pandemic’ health scares we have seen come and go over the last three or so years.

International blogger and outspoken freedom advocate, Sasha Latypova put it bluntly in a post on Thursday, saying, “I am enjoying the sight of a robust and funny public response to the feeble attempts of the pandemic cabal to ignite another round of fear and bullshit with the current “hantavirus” psyop.” And she is absolutely right.

Although most people have never even heard of the hantavirus before, this particular drama all started about a month ago with a reported ‘outbreak’ aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship which is carrying 147 passengers and crew. The ship which is operated by Oceanside Expeditions, was cruising from Argentina with stops in Antarctica, South Georgia, and remote islands like Tristan da Cunha and Saint Helena. Of course this deadly outbreak quickly made global headlines, and the mainstream media are now having a feeding-frenzy around the same old ‘we’re all going to die’ playbook.

On Tuesday, our own CBC ran the headline, “Human-to-human transmission of killer hantavirus suspected in cruise ship outbreak,” with the World Health Organization themselves fully behind this implication of human-to-human transmission, which, under normal circumstances, is extremely rare with hantavirus outbreaks. Commenting on this, Dr. Peter McCullough said, “During the pandemic I recall the WHO and other public health agencies making every wrong move in terms of action steps. Now the same is playing out with the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak.”

The first question we should ask, as always, is if this outbreak is something we should be worried about, especially as there are currently no approved treatments specifically for hantavirus, and the fatality rate is high – somewhere between 30 and 40%.

Even so, the realistic chances of hantavirus turning into a real pandemic are almost zero – unless, of course, it is a weaponized ‘lab-leak’ and then all bets are off. However, there is not much documented around NBC (Nuclear, Chemical and Biological) laboratories tinkering with hantavirus, so I think we’re okay on that score. As investigative journalist and epidemiologist, Nicolas Hulscher states in his analysis of the situation, “The outbreak is expected to fizzle out fairly quickly.”

However, before we move on with our lives and get back to our more important pursuit of health, wealth and happiness, it is worth sharing some facts about hantavirus so you know why we are not too worried about it.

In contrast to what the CBC claimed in their click-bait headline, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), to use it’s full name, is not considered contagious via human-to-human contact, even in close settings like a cruise ship. However, cruise ship cases typically trigger concern because of shared ventilation and close quarters, but hantavirus transmission (for these strains) still requires contact with infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, not other passengers.

So, although it is a dangerous disease to humans which, as it progresses, can lead to damaged lung tissue, fluid build-up in the lungs, and serious problems with lung and heart function, it is very, VERY hard to ‘catch.’ Contraction usually depends on people licking or otherwise ingesting rat urine or droppings. Not something most people tend to do very often. Even then the chances are small as in wild rodent populations, typically only 1% to 15% are infected at any given time, most of which don’t show any outward signs of sickness, as rodents are more-so carriers of the virus than victims of it.

Then, of course, there is the question as to whether the problem on this particular cruise ship is really hantavirus or something else. Looking at the news feeds and the reader comments, many people are asking what role 5G (or perhaps 6G which is being trialed on some cruise ships) might have played in this whole ‘outbreak.’

There are two considerations with this theory: Firstly, how are people tested for the virus, and secondly, what are their symptoms? The first red flag is that diagnosis is usually done by using a PCR test, and we all know from the Covid debacle how those results can be misconstrued. The symptoms are also telling: Of the seven confirmed cases on the MV Hondius the symptoms were as follows

1. Fever, headache and mild diarrhoea followed by respiratory distress. This patient died on April 11.
2. Mainly gastrointestinal symptoms. This patient died on April 26.
3. Febrile illness, shortness of breath and signs of pneumonia. Currently this patient is still in hospital in South Africa.
4. Fever, a general feeling of being unwell which developed into symptoms of pneumonia. This patient is currently in hospital in Cabo Verde.
5. Early this week, three other passengers with symptoms of high fever and/or gastrointestinal symptoms have remained onboard the ship.
6. Now, we are hearing that the ship’s Captain and Chief Medical Officer are also reporting symptoms, which point to the possibility of rat droppings somehow getting into the food chain, or as Dr. McCullough suggests, perhaps their onboard air purification HVAC system has not been properly sterilized from rodent excrement dust which means it is actually circulating the dangerous virions.

Yet, the majority of these symptoms, especially fever, headaches and flu-like symptoms, are all seen with high EMF and WiFi exposure, and we know 6G (if that was deployed on the ship) will cause more severe, and likely new, symptoms due to its strength and impact on the body. So, it is certainly a possibility that EMFs and/or 5G or 6G could be contributing factors.

At this stage we just don’t know… But we do know that the MV Hondius does have satellite connectivity that provides 1.5 GB of data per day for the passengers, and that additional data can be purchased, which indicates a significant wireless field with excess capacity that covers the entire ship. The ship also has two computer stations available for passenger use.

So is the real reason for all this drama, Moderna’s new mRNA-based hantavirus ‘vaccine’?

Highly likely!

It is no coincidence that Moderna is already collaborating with Korea University to fast-track their new hantavirus “injection” (they haven’t called it a ‘vaccine’ as yet, but that is what they are implying). As a result, it stands to reason that a bit of media hype about a deadly outbreak will go a very long way in getting US and EU regulators to rush through an “emergency use authorization.” No doubt this is all part of the business strategy to boost profits and shareholder’s dividends, given the slump they have seen in Covid booster sales.

As we learnt with Covid, emergency use authorization can only be granted if there is, a) A real threat to public health and, b) No other treatment option. Obviously with Covid they fabricated both, so we can expect the same to happen this time, assuming they can generate enough fear and panic in the population at large – which I personally doubt.

But it is not just Moderna who are working on a hantavirus vaccine. You will be shocked to learn that there are currently thirteen (yes, THIRTEEN!!!) documented hantavirus vaccine and gene therapy programs in active development. They are:

• 6 DNA “vaccines” (which are plasmid DNA gene-therapies, most of which are being developed by the U.S. Army / USAMRIID), many of them “needle-free” jet-injector versions
• 3 mRNA “vaccines” (the one mentioned above being developed by Moderna and Korea University, one being developed by a Chinese research team and one being developed by VIDO Canada)
• 2 viral vector “vaccines” (one being developed by a consortium of UK institutions and the other by VIDO Canada)
• 1 inactivated vaccine (Hantavax — which is already licensed and used in South Korea)
• 1 protein subunit vaccine (being developed by VIDO Canada)

On this, Sasha Latypova writes, “Who could have predicted this!! For a disease with annual mortality of 6, there are now 13 vaccines and other bullshit poison products in development!”

Clearly for us, the one to watch is VIDO Canada. VIDO stands for the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) which is a University of Saskatchewan Research Centre. VIDO got national attention back in 2020 when they claimed to be the first laboratory to isolate SARS-CoV-2 in Canada (which is still a bit questionable) and the first Canadian University to have a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in clinical trials. In 2022 they opened their new Vaccine Development Centre that has manufacturing capabilities for both human and animal vaccines. It is at this Vaccine Development Centre in the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon that these hantavirus vaccines are being worked on.

Another interesting twist to this whole ‘vaccine’ debate, which is now doing the social-media rounds, is that hantavirus is listed on page 38 of Pfizer’s list of known Covid-19 vaccine side-effects. This opens the possibility that it isn’t a more virulent strain of hantavirus on the Hondius, but is instead greater vaccine-induced susceptibility to the virus within those first few passengers who brought the contagion on board in the first place.

Given all the above focus on mRNA, DNA gene-therapy and viral vector ‘treatment’ options, as is so often the case, there does appear to be a couple of possible ‘safe and effective’ natural ways of treating hantavirus which most of the Big Pharma corporations are resolutely ignoring.

Firstly Ivermectin has a strong track record against RNA viruses, such as hantavirus, so was quickly put forward as a possible treatment. Predictably, this was as quickly rejected by The World Health Organization who just went on record to claim that ivermectin is “not an effective treatment for hantavirus,” fully dismissing the large body of research suggesting the opposite is in fact likely true. As Nicolas Hulscher points out, this is no surprise given that Bill Gates is now the WHO’s top funder.

There is also equally compelling evidence that the equally-maligned Hydroxychloroquine would be an effective preventative treatment. A 2021 peer-reviewed study in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology directly evaluated chloroquine against multiple hantaviruses, including the Andes virus — the most clinically relevant strain and the one implicated in the recent cruise ship outbreak. The key finding comes from the Andes virus model: “In the gold-standard Syrian hamster model of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (which closely mimics severe human disease), chloroquine produced a striking survival benefit. When administered continuously before infection.”

Then there is ‘Griffithsin.’ In a recent evaluation on this, Nicolas Hulscher noted, “Some early-stage scientific work has turned up an intriguing natural candidate that deserves attention. … [This] compound is Griffithsin (GRFT), a non-toxic, natural protein originally isolated from a species of red marine algae. In a 2020 laboratory study, researchers at the CDC showed that Griffithsin was remarkably effective in cell culture against two of the most important New World hantaviruses, the Andes virus and the Sin Nombre virus.”

Early research findings have shown that Griffithsin reduced hantavirus infection of cells by up to 95% and slashed the infectious viral load by more than 99.99% — a greater than 10,000-fold drop. It appears to do this by physically blocking the virus from entering human cells through its binding to specific sugar molecules on the viral surface glycoproteins.

Of course all of Bill Gate’s and Moderna’s billions of dollars of R&D money, won’t be used to explore this more natural option, especially when their own patented and, no-doubt, highly profitable vaccine is on the cards instead.

However, my advice to you remains: First do not worry about this, it is all just media-driven fear-porn, and secondly, always do your best to avoid rat droppings!

Meanwhile, on Monday, (May 11th) the ill-fated MV Hondius is scheduled to dock in Granadilla, Tenerife, under strict quarantine protocols. Consequently, over the next few days we can expect a dramatic media crescendo furthering the new pandemic hype and Big Pharma’s gleeful anticipation of another vaccine windfall.

How The Canadian Government & Health Canada Put Us & Our Loved One’s In Harms Way…

With all the information coming to light about how the Canadian government (and most ‘western’ First World governments) knew of the inherent dangers of the unknown and untested Covid vaccines back in 2020 when they started ordering them, it is no surprise to hear Jon Nisbett’s perspective on this.

Jon Nisbett was the very first person in Canada to obtain a copy of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine contract between Pfizer and the Canadian government. And this feat was only achieved after a years-long battle through a freedom of information request.

Jon writes that, “After reading the contract, what really stood out to me was this clause, which specifically said: “Purchaser further acknowledges that the long-term effects and efficacy of the vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the vaccine that are not currently known.” It was clear the Canadian government was signing up Canadians to put an experimental, unproven vaccine into their bodies, while telling everyone it was safe and effective, even though they literally had no idea.

About a year later, I submitted another freedom of information request to the Canadian government asking for: “Any and all records from December 1, 2020, to February 13, 2023, that mention adverse events, including injuries and deaths, reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Vaccine Injury Support Program, from any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines administered in Canada.”

To this day, three years later, I am still fighting to obtain these documents. I am told there are upwards of 30,000 documents that will be released to me, but due to a backlog of millions of COVID-related documents, they are still unable to give a specific timeframe for when I will receive them.

Rest assured, I have not forgotten about this important information. I will obtain these documents one way or another and will not give up.”

Thank you Jon. You have our full support and we look forward to hearing what else you find in your investigations.

You can see Jon’s original Facebook post about this at: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=26738483712402146&id=100000016397439&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=zVyCfy9kKBPvtD2U

Are you Wiping Your Butt With PFAS?

Etienne de la Boetie2 of The Liberty Outlook has recently written a concerning article about how we are being contaminated by PFAS, which most people are completely unaware of, and that the risk of exposure is from paper products, specifically toilet paper.
In 2023, researchers at the University of Florida tested 21 major toilet paper brands from North America, South America, Africa, and Europe. They were looking for PFAS, the synthetic “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, immune suppression, and reproductive harm.
They found them in EVERY SINGLE SAMPLE!! The specific compound, 6:2 diPAP, showed up across all brands and all continents. The contamination is global.

It doesn’t stay as 6:2 diPAP, either. It breaks down in the body into other PFAS compounds, including PFOA, one of the most studied and most harmful forever chemicals in existence. The study, published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, estimated that toilet paper contributes about 4% of the 6:2 diPAP found in U.S. sewage, 35% in Sweden, and up to 89% in France.

How do PFAS end up in toilet paper? Paper mills use PFAS during the wood-to-pulp conversion process, applying it to equipment to keep paper from sticking. “We believe it comes from the pulping process and is put on instruments to keep paper from sticking,” lead author Timothy Townsend told Healthline. Both virgin and recycled toilet paper tested positive. There’s no opting out by choosing one type over the other.

Americans use an average of 141 rolls of toilet paper per capita per year, about 28 pounds of the stuff. That’s the highest per-capita consumption in the world. Add paper towels (multiple times daily for most households), paper napkins at meals, paper plates at cookouts, paper coffee cups at work.

Think about how many times you touch paper products in a single day. Morning coffee in a paper cup. Paper towel to dry your hands. Toilet paper, multiple times. Paper napkins at lunch. Paper plate at a barbecue. Each contact is a small exposure. Individually, the concentrations are low. Cumulatively, over a year, over a decade, over a lifetime PFAS don’t break down. That’s literally what “forever chemical” means. They accumulate in your blood, your liver, your bones.

And it isn’t just direct skin contact, which is particularly the problem with toilet paper. Consumer reports tested over 100 food packaging products from major restaurant and grocery chains in 2022 and found PFAS in packaging from every single retailer. More than half of the 118 products tested showed evidence of forever chemicals. That includes paper bags for french fries, hamburger wrappers, salad bowls, and single-use paper plates. Even products labeled “100% compostable” or made from “responsible sources” tested positive.

So what are the options when it comes to toilet paper?

Bamboo-based, totally Chlorine-free (TCF) brands are your best option. The bamboo lines of the ‘Reel Paper’ and ‘Who Gives a Crap’ brands (and yes, ‘Who Gives A Crap’ is a brand of toilet paper, however, you likely won’t find it on your average Canadian supermarket shelf) both use 100% bamboo fiber with TCF bleaching. ‘PlantPaper’ and ‘Caboo’ (which is more widely available in Canada) are also rated well by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Bamboo grows rapidly without pesticides, and TCF bleaching uses hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine, eliminating the dioxin problem entirely.

The other option: get a bidet. It uses about one pint of water per use and cuts toilet paper consumption by roughly 80%. Less paper touching sensitive tissue means less chemical exposure, period. Most of the world already does this. Americans are the outliers, and the extra bonus is that next time there’s a supply chain disruption and you can’t get toilet paper at the store, it doesn’t concern you.

DIRECTOR’S PICK: Book of the Week

THE WISE CHILD

By Sonia Choquette PhD

This book review is by Canada Health Alliance Board Member, Leah Crowell

“Connecting to our intuition unites us with both our soul, and the soul of the Universe, Divine Spirit. It takes away our fearful sense of isolation and inadequacy. It replaces fear with a sense of spiritual direction and safety.
The world becomes friendly, non-adversarial, and welcoming. Life becomes joyful, amusing, generous, and abundant. This is the divine plan.
The intuitive life is one of confidence, inner peace, and creative expression.
What better gift to give ourselves and our children?”

Sonia Choquette

I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels disconnected from their inner voice and intuition. Written for parents, children, families, and everyone who works with children, this book mixes story, spiritual principles, modern-day parables, and practical exercises in a breezy, light hearted style that captivates and invites all readers to connect (or reconnect) with the wise child within them.

This book is entertaining, interesting, and a pleasure to read – invoking excitement and joy about the simple beauty and grace that comes from living life listening to, and guided by, our hearts. Underscoring the value of intuition in every chapter, Sonia demonstrates how this connection to ourselves is/can be a powerful co-creator and contributor to our personal growth and self-esteem. Whether you have children you want to help tune in to their inner compass, or you yourself are in your 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s and want to develop your intuition, this book will not disappoint. It is never too late to explore and develop our innate gifts and abilities. Trusting our intuition brings more confidence and inner peace – which is my wish for everyone on the planet.

Meetings & Events

Monday, May 25 – FREE Live Webinar on Homeopathic Support Before & After The Dentist, Hosted by Donna Powers CCH and presented by Canadians For Homeopathy. Going to the dentist can be a traumatic event for some folks – adults and children alike. Perhaps past trauma increases the dread? Fear of needles? Another powerful reason to be dental-visit averse. The noise of the drills, the pulling/yanking with instruments and tools laid out in precise order on a tray, the smells of an antiseptic setting – these can all be triggers for our fears. Is there anything homeopathy can do to help support the trauma, the fears, the pre- and post-visit to the dentist? A resounding YES! We will also touch on root canals, mercury detox, and recovering from ‘freezing’. Join us as Donna shares some tips for using homeopathic remedies you might already have in your home kit.
Date: Monday, May 25th
Time: 4.30 pm PST / 7.30 pm EST

Tuesday, May 26 – CHA National Assembly Call discussing the importance of effective negotiation with special guest NCI Commissioner Myriam. Our next CHA National Assembly call will be with special guest Myriam Bohémier. Myriam is a practicing lawyer, one of the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI) Commissioners, is an Accredited Mediator and is a member of the CHA Board of Directors. In this fascinating call that will be hosted by Alan Brough, we will be talking about the NCI and how important – and unique – this initiative is, especially now that we’re in this post-Covid era. However, we will mainly be focusing on conflict resolution which is Myriam’s specific area of expertise. This is very important for us all as unresolved conflicts have a significant impact on people’s health, including anxiety, sadness, anger, depression, PTSD, etc. As Myriam will explain in this ‘must watch’ discussion, there are ways we can all learn to become better mediators to reduce the conflicts and tension in our lives, and these skills will definitely help increase our contentment, happiness and health.

May 29 to 31, 2026 – The Better Way Conference, hosted by the World Council for Health. This year, this highly acclaimed educational conference will be held in Rhode Island, USA. For decades we’ve been told to trust systems that many now recognize are deeply flawed – systems where scientific debate is often shut down, where financial incentives shape treatment decisions, and where prevention and patient empowerment take a back seat to lifelong disease management. That’s why the Better Way Conference will be such an important landmark event. This is not just another health conference. It’s a gathering of some of the most courageous thinkers, doctors, scientists, and advocates who are working to create the next era of healthcare.
