Anthony Stephan became interested in mental health after bipolar disorder claimed his first wife, Deborah, through suicide in 1994.
At that time, two of their children, Autumn and Joseph, were also diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. They were taking medications prescribed to treat the disorder, yet they were still suicidal.
Anthony felt a deep, compassionate commitment to find an answer, and went on an urgent quest to save his family from the debilitating mental disorders destroying their lives.
He credits many prayers and vigilance that resulted in a significant answer, EMPowerplus, a nutritional formula.
Anthony first used the EMPowerplus with his children Autumn and Joseph. They both experienced profound results, and their mental health issues were resolved and the family’s lives were restored.
Today, over twenty years later, they are still leading a life of true health and wellbeing.
Truehope’s flagship product EMPowerplus is the most researched micronutrient formula (vitamins and minerals) world-wide. All research is conducted independently and currently there are 35 publications that prove its efficacy in mood disorders including Bipolar, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury and more.
Truehope has assisted over 200,000 participants return to a life of wellbeing.
Today we are going to dive into some specifics within that remarkable Truehope story, but also discuss some solution based ideas for people experiencing trauma and darkness.

okay Anthony welcome to the show thank you so much for joining us how are you hey good to be here thank you for having
0:06
me on today it's wonderful awesome well now you must have told the true hope
0:11
story a million times but I'm really interested to kind of get into the What specifically stands out to you now from
0:18
looking back to the past about everything that happened well you know it's it's been 24 years and we've told
0:26
this story all over Europe all over the United States stes in Canada into
0:32
Korea um yeah it's been heralded uh far and wide it it really has and it's been
0:39
a really exciting experience as we've worked with oh hundreds of thousands of
0:45
people around the world right now we're into 104 different countries and so when
0:51
I look back over the last 24 years it's been a wonderful
0:57
experience uh we've seen so many lives changed and that's what this whole thing
1:03
is about it's about improving lives making lives richer I don't mean
1:09
monetarily but I mean richer in the experience of a life that can be normal
1:15
where they can find joy and happiness truly and you've experienced this just like all over the world and it's been
1:21
received in a really positive way oh totally I I remember in Korea they set up a a committee of of wonderful Ladi
1:29
these women to work with uh autistic children and we put a lot of time and
1:37
effort into that and we saw marvelous things and of course the research Bears it out uh the study by Lewis Mal Madrona
1:45
very uh credible scientist in the US uh proving that Empower plus had a an a
1:54
great a powerful impact upon children with autism so yeah it's just a a very
2:01
gratifying experience to work with people wonderful and we had an episode with your son David where he really went
2:09
into some wonderful detail about kind of the whole story and um I'd really like
2:14
to just jump into a few specific points if you don't mind true thing so your first wife Debbie you know after after a
2:20
couple of weeks on Prozac she ended up committing suicide leaving leaving leaving 10 children motherless and this
2:27
was 16 years after her father also committed suicide yes and Debbie was diagnosed with bipolar depressive
2:34
disorder one with Rapid Cycling I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about what that diagnosis means it's
2:40
terrifying uh a family can't exist when there's a full blowing case of bipolar
2:48
effective disorder one with Rapid Cycling it's so destructive and it's not
2:54
the individual that's suffering with it it's not their fault it has nothing to
2:59
do with with them it's all about brain chemistry and so you get these terrible
3:04
mood swings terrible periods of of sadness and uh where they're very solemn
3:12
in these individuals and we've worked with tens and tens and tens of thousands
3:17
of people with this issue but where they don't find any happiness in life at all
3:22
and then on the other side of the spectrum the highs the extreme manic
3:28
highs the delusional thinking that's out of control where these
3:35
individuals can't put it together and they're heavily spending that's one of
3:42
the in fact that's one of the symptoms that they that they uh spend themselves
3:47
right into debt and uh yeah it's all of the above um nothing normal about it at
3:56
all and it's destructive it's destructive to to the husband or the
4:01
wife that's the spouse of the individual suffering with it extremely destructive
4:06
to the children because there's no stability in a relationship like that
4:13
and that's what we were dealing with sadly and I've watched a bunch of your interviews or you're you're talking
4:19
about the specific time and in your in your own words you said that she'd lost it so I just wonder what was it kind of
4:26
like to witness that you know as a partner watching somebody go go through that like I can't even put myself in the
4:33
image of that with like with my wife it's really really disturbing to even begin to put that image together so you
4:41
know what was that like to witness let me give you a case uh in the middle of the night waking up and finding my wife
4:47
sitting up in bed and and weeping and saying I don't know who I am anymore am
4:54
I this person am I this person that's how much total confusion there is in the
5:02
mind of of I'm going to call them victims because they're victims to this
5:09
disorder and the spouse is always the bad guy always or the bad woman it's
5:16
always their fault uh we've had uh a a lot of dealings with people I'll never
5:23
forget the time that a lady phoned into our call center and I hope this is appropriate to say if it isn't you you
5:30
can remove it but called into the uh call center and talked to one of our
5:35
counselors and said uh I'm so much better now I've got my life back on
5:40
Empower plus I've been on a year and I remember telling um you and you probably
5:47
put this into the records that my husband repeatedly raped and and beat me
5:54
never happened I want you to strike it I've heard doctors talk about this as well
6:01
that's how delusional people get their reality is so twisted and so bent and
6:08
and that's what we were dealing with on a daily basis so sad uh Debbie's father
6:14
was just like that as well U really struggled and he was such a good person
6:20
but it was terrible what the family went through and that's the trick that's the really tough thing is because you you
6:27
have you know these people deep down with without this disorder and then just
6:33
seeing them as being somebody someone else that you don't recognize and they don't even recognize themselves that's a
6:39
really scary notion oh it is it's terrifying to live in that state so you
6:46
know after you tragically lost your wife you were widowed to 10 kids and if things weren't Tough Enough two of your
6:51
children were also struggling with mental conditions um themselves can you kind of tell us about like how that that
6:58
came around yeah 23-year-old Autumn uh she was our uh second born in
7:06
the family and uh Joseph who at that time was
7:11
15 uh and both of them suffered with the same type of symptoms as their mother
7:17
overt Behavior out of control we use that that terminology but absolutely out of
7:24
control for Joe uh when I look at Joe and and and
7:29
the way that he lives now he's happily married has a wonderful wife they have
7:35
six children and they're doing very well at that time he had uh been freshly
7:43
charged with a federal weapons offense extremely violent uh raging uh
7:52
explosively this is one of the symptoms of of bipolar disorder as well outof
7:57
control rage and uh both of them at that time uh were
8:03
in just a terrible place and I guess as a father it it was
8:09
a a real boot because it left me in a situation
8:15
knowing that the medications weren't working having worked with numerous
8:21
doctors in both Autumn's life and in Joseph's life and not seeing I'll say go
8:29
right out the limb and not seeing any positive effects from the medications in
8:35
fact I think actually they made things worse yeah that was going to be my next question was like you know both of them
8:42
were under under doctor's care they were on medications but you know it didn't
8:47
seem like it was helping it didn't seem like it kept them where they were if anything it was it was harming them
8:53
further exactly here's Autumn I'm going to say probably five six years worth of medications to that point things like
9:01
hdll riverol uh Adavan um
9:06
Centon uh terrible terrible side effects but we weren't seeing anything positive
9:13
and her husband wasn't seeing anything positive he's trying to cope looking after the child who has
9:21
severe ADHD uh her boy James was born with
9:26
ADHD and he's trying to cope with that problem trying to put food on the table
9:32
and trying to deal with a wife that uh is really lost within herself oh yeah
9:39
terrifying and yes so Tim actually had she had a young child at the time like during kind of the peak of her symptoms
9:46
um do you think that she would have been able to parent if it not were for micronutrient support no she she would
9:54
not have made it at all in fact uh the evidence that's shown out of the the DSM
10:00
4 this is an older diagnostic statistical manual put out by the
10:05
American Psychiatric association clearly demonstrates uh as a uh as a repository
10:13
or composite uh of data that women women
10:19
who are bipolar will give birth to children that are
10:25
ADHD and when those child children hit puberty most most often they're
10:30
diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well so that family didn't have a a prayer
10:36
they didn't have a chance there's no way that they were going to be successful in fact her doctor had told her one more uh
10:45
breakout and you're going to the institution as if it's her fault right
10:51
and once you're in the institution there's no coming out in most cases you see yeah that's that's r
10:59
wild I've seen the pictures of autumn with the the cabinet of pharmaceuticals
11:05
and I I was watching one of your presentations and I saw that and I was thinking you know somebody does get diagnosed with bipolar there's not a
11:12
there's not a textbook pharmaceutical manual really to go through it's a
11:18
little bit more of a a gamble see what works see what doesn't playing around with different medication so when you
11:24
were you know going through those conventional channels did you see did you see the Physicians
11:31
like was it did they did it seem like they really knew what they were doing or it was like they were just dabbling with
11:38
different drugs to see what would work it's guesswork sadly and when you look
11:44
at how many Physicians commit suicide that are practicing psychiatrics it's
11:51
it's through the roof it's got to be the most despairing
11:56
type of of uh profession because you don't see a lot
12:03
of people ever get better you might sedate the hay out of them to the point that they can't even speak but that's
12:11
that's not repairing that's not uh bringing forth the real person and uh so
12:18
the suicide rate is extremely high for Physicians who practice psychiatrics
12:24
because they see these people come in for years and years and years
12:30
uh it would be like being a mechanic and and every uh every week uh the guy down
12:37
the street brings his car in and you just can't fix it you'd get to the point where you'd lose confidence in
12:45
yourself you see it's sad the whole system's sad yeah and you know those I'm
12:50
I'm convinced that most Physicians go into medicine to help people and if you were a practicing psychiatrist and you
12:57
know you were specializing in ious disorders like bipolar and you weren't seeing recovery and you weren't seeing
13:03
patients get getting better that would be a significantly depressing state to be in day in day out in your office it
13:09
is this is what they suffer with so the whole system is sick and I'm not saying
13:15
that there's any villains here in that sense it it's just really tragic for
13:20
everybody the patient and the practitioner absolutely and obviously these Physicians can only really work
13:26
with the tools that they were given and they obiously go through a very specific phological
13:32
training which you know not doesn't really ever necessarily look at nutrition look at diet look at
13:37
environmental factors looks at toxins it's all about kind of like diagnosis
13:43
and then literally going to the book and you know working with with Pharmaceuticals and then when it comes to diseases like um bipolar it really is
13:52
it really is a Gamble and look a mix in the match um so with Joseph you said he
13:57
was out of control he had a weapon a federal weapons charge at the time and he said he said in a few interviews that
14:03
he was everything a schoolyard shooting is made from and he would also threaten
14:09
and harm his family so you know this again sounds terrifying what was the atmosphere like at home because you know
14:15
it's not just those two children and you there's there's eight other people in the house fear everybody was afraid
14:23
everybody was traumatized and this goes with the bipolar family uh
14:29
earlier on in the podcast um you asked me what it was like and uh everybody
14:36
come becomes ill everybody becomes ill because of
14:41
this disorder and it was terrifying everybody was afraid uh we would lay on
14:47
the edge of our bed at night and we would hear him get up and we would have
14:53
to respond yes and um yeah everyone everyone would be in a fearful State
14:59
everyone would be in a stress response constantly because you know your body wouldn't know when it was okay to rest
15:07
and and be okay and with something like that going on in the house everybody is like on high alert all the time and that
15:12
obviously has Ser serious ramifications to the body and mind um was there a
15:18
moment where You' lost all hope oh sure uh I
15:24
remember for a Time u in fact actually having lost hope
15:31
because I I couldn't see anything coming out of the medical system to help these
15:36
children and I I had lost hope but I refused to resign
15:44
myself to watch them disappear into that dark Chasm of suicide just like their
15:52
mother and grandfather did and that's what set me to really searching and
15:59
starting to pray and fast and look at things uh I always had this core belief
16:06
that we've been sent here to have a mortal experience and these individuals that
16:13
suffer with these disorders don't have a real experience they're lost within
16:19
themselves they're lost within their chemistry and I couldn't believe that
16:24
God who I truly believe is just and is our creator would send us here to have a tormenting
16:33
experience like that so with that that was my Armory that was the arrow in my
16:39
quiver knowing that that that that God does live and that he does look after us
16:48
I I learned how to seek and how to search and how to pray and plead and look and eventually people started
16:56
coming into my life that had some answers and other other inspiring things
17:03
that occurred that led me uh I remember once listening to a
17:09
tape and uh waking up in the middle of night and saying to my wife Barbra
17:16
there's the answer there's the answer because this doctor talked about the use
17:22
of minerals but in my sleep it had become just locked into me there is the
17:30
answer and moving out over a 2-year period uh eventually the answer came
17:36
together I mean we tried many modalities and nothing worked but when we returned spiritually
17:45
towards nutrition the answers came very rapidly
17:51
how much of your faith drove the birth of true hope 100% that's why I named it
17:56
true hope because they only only is one true hope and that's the God above who
18:03
created us who cares for us and so he is our true hope and that's why I named it
18:09
and although I was very criticized for doing so because people knew if you go
18:15
on our website you'll still read it and I've at times some of my staff have
18:20
decided to take those statements down I tell them you get it back up because that's what we're about that's the real
18:27
blessing here before we move on to our next topic how are Autumn and Joseph now they're doing
18:33
extremely well Autumn is helping thousands and thousands of people she
18:39
set up a a an online community uh she's working with people in a wonderful way
18:46
lots of moms that are getting help for their children lots of moms getting help for themselves Autumn has helped tens
18:53
and tens of thousands of people and Joseph doing extremely well for True
18:59
hope he's the one that ensures that we have all of the shipping in place the
19:04
logistics for True hope and he doesn't fail he's able to do that on a daily
19:10
basis in a wonderful way I mean that's just wonderful considering what what they went through at such a
19:16
young fragile age and they're just two examples of people who have come out of
19:23
that conventional system and have really flourished but that's a really tiny percentage of people people who do
19:29
experience know bipolar disorder and then there yeah those so many people who are just like left behind and
19:36
institutionalized pharmace on drugs forever commit suicide and live you know
19:41
very unfortunate lives and again it's it's not that it's not these individual people's fault yeah yeah it's really sad
19:49
that's the great caveat people need to understand that it's they're not doing this chemistry Bears sway chemistry
19:58
rules and when our chemistry is out of sync out of Harmony out of balance we're
20:04
in trouble and so are the people around us okay so let's talk about health Canada we had the incredible lawyer Shan
20:12
Buckley on the on the show in episode 10 and we discussed the Insidious side of Health Canada as a really eye openening
20:20
insightful episode I suggest if you've not listened to that you should go back and check it out what are some of your
20:26
more significant memories of true hopes early interactions with health
20:33
Canada I could coin it in one word absolutely
20:39
unreasonable they are not about health for Canada in fact it's unhealthy Canada
20:49
because they are riding around in the pockets of the pharmaceutical interests
20:54
and people say well how can you say that how can you actually come out and say that that well because of the evidence
21:02
it's not we have to be very careful we have to be very careful
21:08
because it's not what they're saying it's what they're
21:14
doing we learn in the scriptures that uh
21:19
uh bad will always have bad works that bad can't bear good fruit and
21:28
and their fruit is destruction and desolation and they don't care how many
21:36
people are lost many of the health Canada uh agents will take good
21:44
positions expensive high paying positions in the pharmaceutical industry
21:50
when their tenure has been completed at Health Canada it's all about money it's
21:57
about Protec the status quo and so if you get in the
22:02
center of that they'll take you apart um I know so many
22:08
CEOs uh and presidents from different companies that packed up and left when
22:14
Health Canada went after them we didn't we did not pack up I
22:20
always believe that the good Lord was kind to us and gave us this technology
22:26
to bless his children and when Health caner came after us with the big guns we
22:32
stood against them it didn't matter and avoid all the threats of going to jail
22:39
all the threats of of uh we're going to lock you up we're going to do this we're
22:45
going to shut you down uh they didn't do it and it was a a four-year court case
22:51
is that right well it actually ended up 10 years okay from 2001 all the way
22:58
forward from the time that they illegally raided our operations with a
23:04
guns drawn raid with the RCMP and with all those agents it
23:10
started there and that went forth and uh they lost they lost I'm not boasting I'm
23:18
going to boast in my God they lost they came at us they spent over $2 million to
23:24
try and take us down this little company that was helping people and they lost
23:29
and the judge ruled against them and then they decided to come again and again I remember getting a phone call
23:37
from the um director general of the n n
23:43
Natural Health Products directorate and he said we don't have to listen to the
23:48
Judgment out of the courts and I said you don't no we don't have to listen
23:53
we're above that I said good understand that if you're going to work outside of the law then I will
24:02
too and so that's okay expect to see us and they did they we had some wonderful
24:08
visits with them and they realized that we were very very serious about this
24:13
thing and uh they eventually phoned us up and said look uh we're going to agree
24:19
to disagree but we're going to leave you alone and go away and I said good good
24:25
and all kind of came around because you didn't have a drug identification number really that's kind of what they
24:31
were that I mean there's obviously a bigger Insidious side to health Canada's um directive but that's kind of what
24:37
they were going with in court well it was a lie though because the in the court the evidence was provided where
24:45
there were emails among themselves saying we will never give them a drug
24:51
identification number you see it was a setup you have to have this and then
24:57
they will never never allow you to have it this is the type of games that Health Canada plays they're terrible they said
25:06
you can't make claims and I said well that's interesting section two of the
25:11
charter of of Canadian Human Rights says I have a legal right to do so and I'm
25:17
going to do it and I remember the crown the
25:23
representative uh the crown attorney in the court case saying to the judge
25:28
this man refuses to remove from the website
25:35
claims and he's a rebellious person your honor and I spoke out to the judge and I
25:42
said your honor clearly clearly the crown does not understand the
25:50
Constitution Act of Canada which allows us to make
25:55
claims and that's section two of the chart and I remember how angry the crown
26:02
became at that and the judge said you asked the question live with the answer that's all
26:09
there is to it and I think controlling the language is incredibly important
26:14
here because you know being able to make a claim or not make a claim you know if Health cada has the ability to control
26:21
what can and cannot be said which is really controversial in itself when it comes to free speech that's where you
26:27
know a lot of this whole case evolves around it does it's under section 31 and
26:34
32 of the Food and Drugs act and I always believed it was unconstitutional
26:40
and I told them if you ever charge us under Section 3132 we will go to court and we will do
26:47
a constitutional Challenge and you will lose the ability that law will be struck
26:54
and uh they backed off they backed off all all over Canada in fact I went to
27:00
all that I could all of the companies that were producing um nutrient-based products and
27:07
told them it's a paper a paper tiger they all all it is is threats they
27:14
cannot charge you and and uh nobody has been charged with that and that has now
27:19
disappeared off the books you have a right to make a claim you have freedom of speech here in Canada we must stand
27:27
up and speak the truth doesn't give us the right to lie it doesn't give us the
27:32
right to deceive the public it gives us the right to speak the truth about what
27:39
we're doing I found really interesting what what the judge said in in closing
27:44
statements in regards to um truth true hope had no reasonable alternative but to disobey Health Canada's order to stop
27:51
selling the product um the harm avoided was clearly and unquestionably greater
27:57
than the harm Afflicted the judge said and the defendant true hope could have faced criminal prosecution if they
28:03
hadn't continued to provide the supplement to people and claiming that they needed a dinin would not have been
28:10
a suitable defense for True hope exactly because our law in Canada although the
28:17
government in many ways now is ignoring this our law is about the protection of
28:24
the rights the life liberty and security of the person person section s Section 8
28:30
of the charter that's the Keystone law and and above all things is the
28:37
preservation of and protection of life not the engenderment of Law and
28:42
regulation you see and that's where we were going with this in fact that was a
28:47
powerful win the necessity defense it set precedent all over
28:53
Canada yeah I think I don't know I don't think many people enough people know how
29:00
much of their rights and Liberties when it comes to the Natural Health world that they owe to True hope in regards to
29:05
all all of these cour Court hearings um we're doing our best to share this information out there because there is a
29:11
lot of documentation of this so it's it's important that you know if you do
29:16
do hear this information and you do have an ability to share it out to one friend or a group then I think that's really really important so you know during
29:24
these early days of true hope and that and the uh you've personally witnessed the Insidious side of Health Canada you
29:30
know as I asked this question to Shan and he couldn't give me a clear he couldn't give me a definitive answer
29:35
because he just wasn't sure but as a Canadian you know how does Health Canada's action actions make you think
29:43
about what what should their real Duty be to Canadians because a lot of people think that Health Canada
29:49
is there to protect them and keep them healthy but you know looking at like
29:54
this case and looking what Sha's been working on for so long it really really really really isn't isn't that so you
30:00
know looking at what they've done in the past what should what really should they be doing what should their protocols and
30:06
their primary objectives be should be the health of Canadians and improving
30:11
health and making it easier not uh or or much less
30:17
bureaucratic uh the approval of products that are going to help
30:23
people I mean I look at now with true hope we have 30 six medical journal
30:30
Publications from 16 renowned universities 64 researchers all unpaid
30:38
it's all independent research on 16 different disorders and in every case we
30:45
showed uh I shouldn't say we showed because it's not our research it's not true Hope's research the university
30:52
researchers and the universities demonstrated that you could ameliorate
30:57
or turn around the symptoms of these various disorders with this nutrient
31:02
supplement and yet Health Canada still continues to push it
31:08
aside and that's a really important point the fact that true hope and has got independent research because when
31:15
you're looking at how pharmaceutical drugs are put through the system and
31:21
made available to Canadians they have to put forward their own research done by themselves not done by independent
31:27
parties not done by third party interests you know they put forward their own research that they paid for
31:33
which you know is really controversial because it opens the door to cherry-picking information you know you
31:39
can very easily um make a research paper have the
31:45
answer that you want it to be there a really really dodgy side to the way science is done especially when we're
31:51
talking about billions and billions of dollars and how health Canada is so
31:56
entwined into that application process where it is you know pretty much a billion dollars to put a pharmaceutical
32:02
drug forward and uh it's just yeah having those independent research it's just it was just seems to me on paper
32:09
such an easy thing to turn Health Canada into something that's got the best intentions for Canadians by allowing
32:16
companies to put forward and present their product and showing thirdparty research that shows the product to have
32:23
positive effects and being really transparent with that information I mean that should be completely open to the
32:29
public should be it should be absolutely but it's not no and just that on its own
32:36
should raise an eyebrow and get people thinking in a different way buy their
32:41
own admission on their website I don't know if it's still there but it was there uh they indicated that the client
32:49
the true client of Health Canada is the pharmaceutical industry not us not us I
32:57
mean I look at some of their boondoggles where they've been very foolish and they didn't remove drugs that were causing
33:04
extreme harm and and people have lost their lives and they were very slow to
33:11
act in removing this because of their relationship with the pharmaceutical
33:17
industry it's really tragic it is it needs to be basically shut down and
33:24
there should be a message minder and a light bulb on that's about it absolutely yeah I mean you spoke about that
33:29
revolving door between Health Canada and pharmaceutical companies and we see that we see that in America as well and we
33:35
see that in a lot of different countries and it's just it just shouldn't happen you know these these these companies
33:40
should not be working they should be working together but like not to mutually benefit and create more money
33:46
and wealth it's just really it's really controversial and and I really hope that a lot of people start to investigate
33:52
that a little bit more because yeah there's a really really Sinister side to all of this there is um there's a really
34:00
amazing Discovery Health 1hour documentary about Empower plus and how it has been how how it's helped
34:08
significantly with mental disorders and there's many different doctors and researchers and scientists who speak on this documentary it went out to 60
34:16
nations in 30 languages you know I had to kind of dig to find that video why
34:22
why do you think these investigations and reports have not continued you know surely it's still something that's
34:27
Sensational international news you know what's what's going on with that well because it's basically been buried I
34:35
remember when we had a a a double blind study that came out not we but once
34:41
again uh the University of Canterbury a double blind study that showed powerful
34:48
results for people with depression ADHD and
34:53
autism and that was published in the the
34:59
journal just a minute the British Journal of Psychiatry one of the top
35:05
renowned journals in the world what kind of publication did we have on that the
35:11
uh the Lethbridge heral from Lethbridge Alberta had a blurb about four or five
35:18
paragraphs long none of the media carried it why why because they're all
35:26
in the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry when you've got billions of
35:32
dollars going into advertising whether it's the farm
35:38
chemical side of of Pharma or the drug side and they're paying these uh paying
35:45
the media to advertise for them um no they're not prepared to show the
35:51
research on this I'm just amazed how how uh how they've Act actually acquired a
35:59
position that wasn't Theirs to be able to shut down the truth to be able to
36:05
sequester truth from going forth and this is exactly what they've done there's no interest in our financial
36:12
system in people being better you're better off to be an all
36:19
day everyday customer of the pharmaceutical industry this is what they
36:25
want they absolutely do how many times have we seen where they
36:31
attacked people for drinking whole milk that was unpasteurized people trying to
36:38
make a choice on their own for health and they've demonized that and yet half
36:45
the world is drinking or 3/4 of the world is drinking milk that's unpasteurized you see the nonsense
36:53
that's only one little quibbling point but this is what they do so there's quite clearly wonderful and
37:01
good well-intentioned individuals working within Health Canada Medical Systems and within
37:07
media but there's no doubt that they're working in quite corrupt systems how
37:13
does you know how does that happen how how do we have these this like 100% of individuals working towards kind of a
37:19
darker goal when there are good people within that that's a very interesting question
37:26
you know if if you were to look at the true hope database according to New York State University it's the largest
37:34
database on psychiatrics in the world it's huge but in that database there's
37:40
over 15,000 medical practitioners who have used the product
37:47
there are good doctors who care many many doctors uh I in fact I have doctors
37:55
in my family uh and they they go into the practice of of Medicine with the
38:02
hopes that they can help people that they can help mankind it's like the
38:07
researchers many of the researchers when they start into research want to work to
38:13
find answers for common problems that we're dealing with in our society on a
38:20
daily basis but what happens is there's a power at the top influence ERS who are
38:28
promoted into positions that control the policies within these
38:34
organizations and these people are wellp paid and and they're they've got the promise of different positions if they
38:41
do this and so they influence the policy uh I know of many doctors who are
38:47
afraid to step out of the circle and try and do things better in the way of
38:56
Health uh I remember how Australia changed its L its uh uh its laws towards
39:06
allowing doctors to use what they call alternative
39:12
therapies but they made it and this was according to the push from the public
39:17
the the politics uh at that time really really engendered that thinking that it was
39:24
important to have doctors be able to use all alternative practices but the
39:30
medical associations made it so difficult for any doctor that stepped
39:36
outside of that Circle the amount of paperwork the amount of approvals each
39:42
thing had to be handled on a one by one single approval and it became so
39:48
honorous that it failed because it was meant to fail you see yeah and there's so many
39:54
wonderful individuals in all of these different industries that yeah I mean they can't
40:00
step out of line really because they're putting their they have to be thinking about their their career their jobs
40:07
their their their income their families their kids you know like it's not just like this something's going wrong and I
40:14
think it's wrong and then I'm have to speak out about it because we there's thousands of examples where people are completely vilified and lose their
40:20
medical licenses and then their their lives are essentially ruined so it's not so difficult for those individuals to
40:25
step forward and and to your point in regards to how to to create a uh a
40:33
different culture in an industry like Health Canada or medical system or within media what you would need to do
40:39
is yeah put certain individuals in charge of policy and literally creating
40:45
a culture and you know using that word cult in there which is you know really important that's how you would kind of
40:53
infiltrate thousands and tens of thousands of individuals who are working with a system that's that's that's how that's
41:00
how it's done and it needs to happen there needs to be a major
41:05
change in the thinking we've got to walk away from the gain and the gain saying
41:14
where organizations are trying to improve their
41:19
finances versus improving and fulfilling their missions the medical system is
41:27
there to save lives not to improve the position of
41:32
farma and what you're saying is so true we need influencers at the top there
41:38
needs to be a complete a complete change of the thinking within these
41:45
organizations to bring this about health freedom and engendering Better Health
41:51
practices throughout the world absolutely and and and if you if you are if you are in government and and you're
41:57
looking for you're looking to save money and to you know looking at the the
42:03
fiscal responsibility that they have if you you just need to look at most Western countries and look at their like top bills it's like medical care and if
42:10
you're able to make you make your populations healthier that number just drastically comes down you know it doesn't happen overnight we're talking
42:16
about 10 20 30 years but if you can make your populations healthier it puts so
42:21
much less stress on your medical system and those costs come down for you I just think about it if our governments were
42:30
really wanting to benefit the people that would be that would be a goal but
42:36
again we have this very suspect relationship between pharmaceutical companies and our governments and our
42:43
medical system where they can make a lot more money of us if we're sick and Alive you know
42:52
we're not we're not if we're healthy and we're dead we're not really worth that much but if we're sick and we can stay
42:57
and can stay on these drugs then we're we're we're a cash cow exactly I look at
43:02
the case of France and Cuba both of them literally I mean you take broken down
43:08
Cuba has a better medical system than what we do why they engender Health in
43:15
fact they pay the doctor for the health of their patients here we pay doctors
43:22
for the the poor health of the patients it's it's totally different the same in
43:28
France the doctors given an incentive to make the person healthy and they use a
43:34
lot of Alternatives not like Germany where where Pharma rests you see and and
43:41
these other countries where Pharma has a powerful control oh we need to change
43:46
this whole thing if we change this we'll see uh people do so much better our cost
43:54
the amount of of um GMP has to go in to
43:59
the whole thing um oh it's just phenomenal the amount of money that's
44:05
going into um unwellness if you want to put it that way yeah a lot of people are
44:11
completely blinded by the fact that you know Canada doesn't have a brilliant health system and it's under strain it's
44:18
yeah there's there so much wrong with it but it's yeah it's a but there are examples around the world where know
44:24
countries who don't have such a significant task to other influences that do try these
44:31
alternative methods and yeah giving doctors incentives and create and having a bit more of a focus on the health of
44:37
people and giving them options and giving them ideas you know it's absolutely blew me away that throughout
44:42
the last year we've been talking about social distancing and lockdowns and
44:48
masking and there's not been any word on really on vitamin Day vitamin D vitamin
44:55
A zinc hydroxy chlorine you know all these other things that are like cheap
45:01
available in the Natural Health world but they're not they're not talking about these in their weekly weekly
45:09
presentation drama interviews that we see on the television um I'd love to kind of finish up with a solution
45:15
section you know Tony considering everything you've been through in your life I am I I think I'm correct in
45:21
saying that you have some experience with despair absolutely so and so many
45:27
people around the world right now are literally stuck at home getting into Dark Places literally and inside of their
45:35
heads you know can you offer any advice for these for these individuals considering what you've been through look to God that may sound a little
45:43
strange develop some hope um yes we're in a terrible place right now and I
45:49
truly believe that this isn't the pandemic that it's being made out to be
45:55
at all uh my mother lived to be 92 years of age and and in the year that she died
46:03
uh she told me about her mother who lived through the Spanish flu epidemic
46:08
and she said every third or fourth door there were people that were dead or dying and
46:15
I guess I have to ask the question where are the bodies and they're playing with the numbers and this vaccination that's
46:23
untested using abortus aborted feedus uh
46:28
DNA what are we doing there's no there's no testing on this it's absolutely
46:35
Reckless and we as the people need to stand it's our bodies um I don't want to boast I
46:43
haven't been to a doctor uh in six years the last time I went it was because uh
46:49
of a herniated uh problem that I had developed when I was 18 years of age
46:55
from carrying really really heavy things and so I've had this hernia all along and I've never had an operation and I
47:02
went to see the doctor and he just checked it out yeah it looks good that's what doctors are
47:07
for um that was the last time about six years ago uh my blood pressure if I take
47:13
my blood pressure right now it's probably going to be like 118 over 65 a resting heart rate of 65 I am now
47:23
almost 69 years of age every organ functions as it's required I don't take
47:30
any medications I don't need to it's not that I'm against the medical system if
47:35
we're supplementing our body with healthy agents if we're using vitamin D
47:43
and not according to the prescription that Health Canada has given us where they say the maximum daily dose is 1,000
47:53
IUS what a joke if people were up to 30 to
47:58
40,000 there would be so many less knee Replacements their um immune system
48:04
would move ahead it's been over five years since I've had a flu or a cold and
48:10
I'm not anything special don't take me wrong when I say this it's proving to me
48:16
that if we're supplementing with and they don't have to be expensive supplements things like
48:22
vitamin D uh vitamin C in in good siiz
48:28
doses uh all the vitamins the minerals our body is in a protected State no
48:34
question and uh if everybody was living the way that I am right now not a
48:40
boast uh probably we would only require one tenth of the medical system that we
48:48
have today I think a really big point in order of that is that it takes significant personal responsibility to
48:54
take your own health into your hands and I think a lot of people are not ready for that I think that there is a lot of
49:01
wonderful people out there who can certainly help you along your way um yeah just using supplements and
49:08
and uh nutrition and exercising basically so many things that we've been told to do puts you in more puts your
49:16
body in more of a stress you know making you more immobile to you know move your body like all these things are super
49:22
connected and I think that really interesting point you make on the Spanish Flu and your grandmother my
49:29
mother your your mother your mother's mother went through that right it was my grandmother oh your grandmother right so yeah I mean if you if you didn't watch
49:37
the if you didn't watch the news and didn't see masks around you wouldn't have I don't think anyone would think
49:42
anything was going on I'm really convinced of that and if you're able to put emotion to the side and look at
49:49
the last 12 months I think you can really see a picture of kind of what we've just been speaking about for the
49:54
last 50 minutes that there is definitely a connection with our media putting out
50:00
what information we are allowed to see and health Canada's response and our government's response and the
50:06
pharmaceutical connection to that like you you can't not look at that and raise some questions you have to be so
50:13
gullible to think that all of this is in your best interest and uh I just hope
50:18
people are able to maybe take a step back because Shan now Shan Buckley said something really interesting to me that
50:24
our rights and our freedoms and our liberties that millions of people died for will mean nothing if we don't fight
50:30
for them exactly and there's no question that it's a movement to take away the
50:35
Liberties and the freedoms of all people all across the world this is taking
50:41
place but look at the nonsense uh we went out for lunch today as we came to visit with you and uh you note that
50:50
people are sitting at tables in the restaurant without masks on but as soon
50:55
as they get up they have to put their mask on what does Co not come to tables
51:01
is is that what the thing is here I mean you're right we have to open our eyes and start to think about this and not
51:08
just be drawn into it it's a trap there's a scripture that I'm reminded of
51:13
in Luke 21 where the Lord warned us in this last days that there would be a
51:19
snare a snare which is a trap that would come upon all those that dwell upon the
51:25
face of the Earth welcome to that trap and that's exactly what it is and it's our body and you're
51:33
absolutely right a true hope we teach people to take power over their lives
51:41
they're responsible for their life not the medical practitioner they're the ones that are ill and they're the ones
51:48
that are responsible to make that change and yes we provide lots of support in doing that but ultimately it comes down
51:56
to the individual and we can choose to be happy we can choose to be healthy or
52:02
we can choose to go along and suffer as a result of that yeah so many people
52:09
wait for trauma or crisis or disease before they really take action and try
52:14
and reflect on themselves and then do something about it and usually that's something they physically experience
52:20
whether that's in their body or their mind but you just have to look around you right now we are in a crisis we we
52:26
are witnessing trauma around us deep psychological trauma so this is a time
52:31
if if there ever was a great time to do it now is the time to look within
52:36
absolutely using using losing your faith is a really important part of that and that can really Propel you to make some
52:44
maybe different decisions and take your health into your own hands and you know take responsibility over what's happening in your life
52:52
exactly wow awesome um just to finish up how can people connect with you cuz I
52:58
know you do a lot of speaking you you know you do a lot of speaking around the world and I think it's um important that
53:04
people have like further questions for you is is there a place people can do that yeah they can go to Tru hope.com we
53:10
can make a connection there and I can talk to them if they'd like to visit it's hard to talk to everybody because
53:17
uh I have thousands and thousands of followers but that's okay and it's not
53:22
about me by the way it's not about me being anything special I just happen to
53:27
be in the wrong place at the right time that's how I say it and I'm grateful to
53:34
God I'm grateful to the people who have carried us because we have many supporters out there and we've been
53:39
through some real narrow Canyons we really have but we've been very blessed
53:45
because of the support that we've received from from people and so that's what it's about it's about I always like
53:52
to uh talk about U the the three the three uh C's that we find in well for
54:01
instance if we look at the 36 medical journal Publications and you were to throw those into a pot and boil it down
54:08
like a chicken there's three se's that come out of there and those commonalities are calm coping and
54:16
Clarity and that's what this product does and power plus it really does so
54:21
it's about the three C's and it's about Hope and healing and health and uh
54:27
nothing more and nothing less so it's been a wonderful experience and we've we've seen a lot of wonderful things
54:33
we've been through some real difficulties but I would just say to people hold on just bear down and and
54:41
have faith in God and continue your thrust don't give in for anybody in that
54:47
sense have faith and be strong and have hope in your heart and we'll make it
54:53
through all of these things we really will and and um so I wish you the very best thank you beautiful Tony thank you
55:00

55:07
