There's hope in relation to matters of health freedom and turning things back in relation to the tyrannical measures

0:06

that Health Canada's taking. And there's hope in relation to their own personal health and the the health of those

0:11

around them that people don't have to be enslaved to these the the disease or

0:16

dysfunction that's plagging them that we call mental illness. Um that there is hope and that there's there's substance

0:23

to that hope that there is, you know, there is legitimacy to it. And so that's

0:28

what people are walking away with. So we found people were really inspired.

0:37

2:08

Welcome back to the show. How are you? What is going well? I'm doing well. Thank you for having me

2:14

on, Simon. What's going well? Well, there's there's a lot going well. Life is fantastic and there's always

2:19

something exciting. So, um I'm sure we don't have the next hour for me to tell about adventures of I don't know

2:26

planting new bushes and trees on the property and, you know, homesteading and greenousing and all that type of stuff.

2:32

But, um lots lots is going well and plants are growing fantastic and we've been getting rain and that's lovely.

2:37

Beautiful. Um well, let's just start and get into the heart of it. You know, what makes Epiphany, the true hope battle, a

2:45

story that people need to see right now? Oh, that's that's a fantastic question.

2:51

It's actually multifaceted. Uh two two main reasons. We did a tour, Todd and I. Todd Michael Harris, he's

2:58

the producer uh or director of um Epiphany, the true battle. Did a

3:03

fantastic job of it. Um in fact, I had no creative input into it. I I was part

3:09

of it. I was interviewed in it amongst many others. And um it was it was just

3:15

done really fantastic uh outlining the true hope story or the true hope

3:20

discovery if you will. And so we did a month-long tour and what came out of

3:26

that was two main needs within within uh the Canadian populace. And the first one

3:32

being is that it highlights a phenomenal discovery in the field of nutrition,

3:38

pioneering mineral supplementation, showing how it can be the most impactful

3:44

um correcting therapy for mental health conditions. And so, you know, example,

3:51

somebody has bipolar disorder, which is, you know, runs in my family. And it's amazing that when you supplement the

3:57

minerals back into the body that in that the body needed all along, how it's correcting through the proper production

4:03

of neurotransmitters, how it's correcting things like bipolar or depression or ADHD.

4:11

And so that's the the first thing as why people should watch it because mental health issues are are on the rise. In

4:19

fact, when you when you break it down, you take a look at it, um, one out of 20

4:25

deaths last year in Canada were due to maid or medical assistance in death,

4:33

showing that there is a significant need to help correct situations surrounding

4:38

why somebody would want to prematurely take their life. Now, obviously, some of those those deaths can be allotted to

4:44

the fact that they were terminally ill with maybe cancer or something like that, but there's a major crisis going on where people are feeling major

4:52

despair and they're questioning as to why they're even here. And so, that's the first reason why people should watch

4:59

this now, whether it be for themsel or whether that be for a loved one. every one of us is impacted by mental health

5:04

conditions whether it's it's a a friend or a close family member or whether it's within ourselves um as well. And so

5:12

that's the first reason why people should watch this is that it shows that there's a major discovery in the field

5:18

of mental health using proper nutrition to completely correct those types of situations by merely correcting the

5:25

deficiencies that were in our bodies all along. The second reason why people should really watch it is it highlights

5:33

um the battle aspect that when this discovery was made and research began to

5:40

take place on it, independent research out of universities showing that it was over three times

5:45

more effective than anti-depressant treatments. There was a battle that emerged wherein

5:51

Health Canada stepped in and did everything in their power to try to shut us down and to make us go away to

5:57

prevent us from being able to supply these nutrients to Canadians. And the

6:03

reason being is because these nutrients were helping correct things like depression and bipolar disorder. And the

6:08

research validated that. And so Health Canada stepped in and did that. And the reason why this is relevant today is

6:16

that Health Canada is waging war again

6:21

against the natural health community wherein they're coming down with tighter regulations

6:27

to basically push companies out of the marketplace

6:32

or if they remain in the marketplace to make these natural health products

6:38

largely unaffordable to the Canadian public. And so this is currently going

6:43

on and people need to understand what's going on and that Health Canada clearly is not our friend that they don't have

6:50

your health um with, you know, within their best interest or they don't have

6:55

your best interest within mind that they're not looking out for your health and that that became abundantly clear and that's illustrated within this this

7:03

film and that there is a plan of action that we need to take to ensure that

7:08

Health Canada does not have their way in shutting down the natural health industry and preventing Canadians from

7:15

having access to oftentimes lifesaving supplements.

7:23

Absolutely. And just as you talk about that, I think that, you know, I have I have very frequent conversations with

7:28

people about the mental health industry that, you know, that I work in and the mental health um industry that people

7:35

experience with just like their friends, family, what they read on what they read on Twitter, on the news, etc. And

7:40

everyone would agree that mental health disease is an all-time high. People

7:46

around them, people within their families, people in their close circles are massively struggling. The amount of psychotropic medications just being

7:52

dished out for these sets of symptoms is at an all-time high as well. And we're

7:59

spending so so much money on this massive problem. But we're not seeing

8:04

any benefit considering all the diagnosis, all the drugs

8:10

and all the money we're spending on it and the health of people is just viciously declining. So, I just feel

8:16

like, you know, I've seen this movie, I know what it's all about, and I see the world around me, especially when it comes to mental health and people's

8:22

experience. We all seem to need to we all seem to need an epiphany right now.

8:28

We all need some sort of alternative and hope. And that's what we're all about here at True Hope. So, um, yeah, it's

8:36

it's a brilliant movie that that I think a lot of people are going to benefit from and really resonate with what they

8:43

feel and see and hear around them. And I know this film is obviously deeply

8:48

personal to you and your family. What was it like reliving your kind of family's journey, the loss, the

8:54

epiphany, and the fight to share it through the lens of this documentary?

9:01

Yeah. you know, it's so Todd made it very true to form. Um,

9:06

and and the film is is it's done very fantastically. Um,

9:12

we didn't have a single person say, "I wish I could get that hour and a half back after we we literally went and

9:17

across the country and did about 30 events across the country in 36 days."

9:22

Um, not a single person had a complaint about the film. Uh, it was it was very very well done. Um, it's very

9:28

captivating. It's very emotionally compelling or emotionally riveting really. And um you know looking at the

9:36

film you know we've lived the situation over and over as we've continued to share uh this message of hope across the

9:43

country over the last uh two and a half decades. And so um it's it's interesting

9:49

to see it you know up on the screen like that done in that in such a a fantastic way. Uh but it's nothing really out of

9:57

the norm or or new. I I'm trying to think there there's a handful of documentaries that have been done over

10:03

the years on us and it actually all began with Discovery Health Channel in September of 2002. So 23 years ago

10:12

nearly they they released a documentary on us called Impossible Cures. So

10:18

remember this is pretty fresh into our discovery. um we hadn't yet had the major battles with Health Canada during

10:24

that time and it was very well done and it and it was on Discovery Health Channel and it was put into 50 different

10:30

countries translated into multiple languages um and that's really what put True Hope on the map uh internationally

10:36

speaking and so you know looking at that that documentary and then looking at the

10:42

other documentaries that have been done over the years on True Hope uh this one is is

10:48

done in such a uh that it really highlights more of the

10:54

battle aspect uh to bring this this work forward to

11:01

uh that the fact that there was a major battle surrounding the fact that we just wanted to do something good. We wanted

11:07

to share what our family had been blessed with and that just by trying to share that and to bless the lives of

11:14

others that there would be major opposition that arose against us. And so

11:20

from that perspective, it's by far the best film that's been done to date on

11:25

True Hope. But even just communicating, you know, the the heart-wrenching

11:31

issues, the trauma, the the suicide of my mother, the suicide of my grandfather, and the fact that there was

11:37

going to be more suicides within my home, having, you know, eight siblings at the time, um, nine children my mother

11:43

and father had, and all of us suffering with mental health conditions in in in various ways, there was going to be more

11:49

suicides. And that's what led to um the discovery of True Hope or of the True

11:56

Hope supplements uh the Empower Plus that corrects these mental health conditions. So to to see it to relive

12:01

it, to see it from that that angle is it's it's kind of it's kind of interesting. Um to see it done from a

12:08

new approach that's quite fresh and to you know it brings back some memories,

12:14

childhood memories that you know typically you kind of put on the shelf and whatnot.

12:21

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And there's a a really powerful theme of divine inspiration in the movie. Can you

12:27

tell us a little bit more um about that epiphany moment and maybe how it led to

12:33

the creation of Empire Plus without giving too much away? Oh, absolutely. Um you know, if you're

12:38

talking to my dad and and we all agree uh this was nothing more than an answer to prayer. It it was a miracle. It was I

12:44

mean it's when we take a look at it it is the the biggest discovery in the field of mental health uh perhaps in all

12:51

history and the science validates that and it came about due to a lot of

12:58

desperate pleadings and prayers um to our father in heaven to the

13:04

creator of the heavens and the earth and nothing miraculous happened overnight when my father began in desperation to

13:11

plead and to pray uh because he couldn't bear to have another suicide. He'd already lost his wife of 22 years to

13:17

suicide. And now he was watching his nine children go through through the same type of situation where my older

13:22

sister's in and out of the psych ward on a regular basis. When she's not in the psych ward, she had to be on 24-hour

13:27

supervision. My brother Joseph is homicidal, suicidal. And so he's seeing

13:33

how the medications aren't working. And um and so he he says his epiphany moment

13:39

was when after months of of pleading and praying and information starting to come

13:45

into his life surrounding nutrition. How he's walking down a hallway one day with

13:50

um with a colleague and he has this epiphany moment where he feels that he needs to tell his colleague about what's

13:56

happening at home. and his colleague communicated some things in relation to

14:02

the animal feed industry that he had been involved in for 20 years at that point in time formulating feed for hogs

14:08

across western Canada and western United States and how they were correcting uh irritability issues um that that's

14:15

termed as ear and tail biting syndrome within pigs how they completely corrected that using nutrition using the

14:21

proper vitamin and mineral supplementation and I and I have I want to emphasize the word proper because

14:27

there's two main elements to it. Balance and bioavailability. We don't absorb rock form minerals. And if the minerals

14:34

are out of balance, you can actually create more dysfunction in the body than you correct. And so when that was

14:43

communicated to my father, even though he had tried already a lot of alternative uh modalities with my older

14:48

brother, um, and they none of them really worked, when that was communicated, that was when my father

14:54

had this epiphany knowing that it was the answer. And it's a good thing they had that he had that epiphany because if

14:59

he didn't um when the first round of of supplement treatments came into play and they

15:06

didn't work, my father would have said, "Oh, I guess vitamin mineral supplementation also doesn't work

15:11

alongside all the other things that we've already tried." But because he had that epiphany moment, he persisted and

15:17

they finally found a combination of vitamins and minerals that created major

15:25

change within a very short period of time in my older brother, Joseph. And that set everything in motion that would

15:31

then make it so that my sister would never go to a psych wart again, never require 24-hour supervision again, go on

15:37

to have three more children um with her husband. Um they're still married today.

15:42

Here we are. you know, that was 1996. You know, they have a beautiful family.

15:47

Um, and my brother Joseph, same thing. And so, um, yeah, that that would kind

15:53

of encapsulate what the whole epiphany moment would have been is the fact that

15:58

this was a miraculous answer to prayer that ultimately is being validated in

16:04

science as the greatest discovery in the field of mental health that that we've seen.

16:10

And you know, there's a bold claim at the core of this movie that mental health can be transformed with

16:15

nutrition. What would you say to skeptics who hear that and then immediately dismiss it?

16:23

Well, I'm living it, right? So, if I'm dealing with a skeptic, I mean, they

16:28

could try to invalidate my own life experience. They could all they could try to invalidate all of the um

16:34

all the observations that happens. People will certainly just say, "Oh, that's your story and you

16:41

know, whatever. That's you're just one person." And it could have been this, that, or anything. That certainly happens as a defense mechanism against

16:48

things like this. Oh, absolutely. We we have a natural tendency to try to protect our paradigms, right? And and if nutrition

16:53

correcting mental health conditions is not within our paradigm and we have a predominantly heavy paradigm leaning

16:59

towards uh pharmaceutical modalities being the only um modalities that have any uh

17:07

credibility then yeah there it doesn't matter how much evidence that you supply them chances are they're not going to be

17:13

willing to shift their paradigm. But you know I can share observations I can

17:18

share my own personal experience all day long. The beautiful thing is is that there's now 35 medical journal publications on our uh foundational

17:26

formula being the Empire Plus. And what that illustrates or validates is exactly

17:31

what I'm communicating. It validates my own life experience. It validates the experience of hundreds of thousands of other people across the world over the

17:38

last um two and a half decades. And so uh actually almost we're almost we're

17:44

coming up on three decades now. And so, you know, there's a tremendous am body of experience here where you've got, you

17:51

know, a lot of people that you would have to try to invalidate their experience and say, uh, you actually

17:57

didn't get better on it even though you tried everything else and you you did the medications and they didn't they

18:03

didn't work for you, but this is a placebo. But if it was a placebo and you were you were able to make placebo work

18:09

that well for you, then why would why didn't the medications play the role of placebo in the first place? Right?

18:14

So, it's it's interesting. Skeptics will always be there and and it's unfortunate

18:20

when people come come at us with an unhealthy level of skepticism. I I love to see healthy skepticism being applied

18:26

to all aspects of life. We should be questioning everything, but we should we should do so from a healthy perspective

18:32

where we're in it to learn, not uh in it to reject uh abundantly clear evidence

18:38

that could actually be quite a blessing in our lives. Well, you and I are part of the True

18:44

Hope team and you know, I've been a part of it for a long time now. I think coming up to nine years and we

18:50

consistently during our team meetings, we we talk about the success stories. We talk about the transformations and there

18:57

are chilling quite remarkable goosebump in

19:03

involving stories that we hear very very frequently you know and I'm in a beautiful position here at true hope

19:09

where I get to hear the stories through social media and I get to hear them from Facebook comments you know just very

19:14

very simple ways and in which people are expressing the fact that this product empower has absolutely reversed and

19:21

changed their life after sometimes decades of misery bouncing from doctor to doctor, drug to drug, um side effects

19:28

to side effects, and then finally, you know, looking for their last hope, this true hope, this epiphany moment. They

19:34

find this product and it absolutely changes their life in some cases in very short periods of time. And I know that

19:42

you and True Hope and your father and the whole team have helped, you know, well over hundreds of thousands of

19:47

people um with Empower Plus changed their lives. Is there one particular transformational story that still gives

19:54

you the chills? You know, there's

19:59

probably got a lot to choose from there. Well, there is a lot to choose from. Yeah. You know, that that's an interesting question that that is

20:05

actually a question that I would have loved to have prepared for, right? To to because there there's so much

20:10

experience. I mean what kept us fueled up as we were going to all these health shows across Canada is the fact that

20:16

year after year every time that we would go and you know the first year we'd be seeing new faces the second year we'd

20:22

see those same faces oftent times these frequentters at these health shows and when then we'd be getting the feedback I

20:28

was you know I'm on your products and it's done this for me you know and then you know it's just you hear these beautiful transformation stories um but

20:36

you know there there is one that that stands out and actually anybody can go on on YouTube and view it because it's a

20:41

it's a transformation story that I had the opportunity of filming back in I want to say February of 2007.

20:50

And so my wife and I went on tour at that point in time and we went and uh recorded a bunch of testimonials. And

20:56

what it was was uh this father had he has three sons. Wife, faithful wife, you

21:03

know, sticks by his side through through you know through good, through bad, you know. um they really went through, you

21:10

know, hell and high water type of thing as, you know, in their relationship because of the mental illness, the

21:15

bipolar that was plaguing him. And he would go into these bouts of mania where he would just get get them into debt, um

21:23

just rack up all the debt, go and spend like crazy, buy everything that he ever wanted, and then he'd come off the bouts

21:29

of mania and then have to try to liquidate things because he'd put them into such financial hardship. But then

21:34

he'd go through this depression and he had no care for his wife at all. Um

21:40

really like he just wasn't mindful of of of his wife. He wasn't mindful of his three sons. And so I had the opportunity

21:47

to sit down with him and record him and his wife separately. She's in tears as

21:52

she's relaying everything and and towards the end she's in tears of joy

21:57

saying that she had the the husband back that she had originally married. And now

22:02

we're talking like at this point in time they're it's probably 25 years that

22:07

they've been married at this point in time. I can't recall exactly. Um but they had they're all of their children

22:12

were grown up. I think their youngest son was 18 or something like that. So um

22:18

she got the husband back. She's communicating things like when he comes in the door he he asks how I am and he

22:25

actually means it. He wants to know how I'm doing. whereas for

22:31

a couple decades that wasn't taking place at all. Like he just didn't didn't have any care for her at all uh because

22:38

of of just the the issues surrounding the mental illness he was suffering with. He was so disconnected. He's

22:44

communicating how he has a a much deeper relationship with his three boys now

22:50

that he never had before. So here he gets this new lease on life. I could imagine that there would be um elements

22:57

of of remorse and regret thinking my children are now into their adult years and I never

23:04

had the ability to have a decent relationship with them but now he did. I

23:10

mean, better late than never, right? And so that that's really that was a beautiful story the way that is

23:15

articulated so well where you got to see from all parties involved. I got to meet um I

23:23

believe it was two of his sons showed up um on scene when I was recording them at their house. Got to meet them and stuff

23:29

like that. just to see the impact that u just the simple nutrition, proper nutrition, but very simple nutrition had

23:37

on completely transforming not just his life but his relationship and his entire

23:44

family. And in fact, at one point in time, um I can't remember whether it was him that communicated it or whether it

23:50

was his wife communicated it, but that this saved their marriage. Mhm. We hear that from time quite like

23:57

like semi-frequently that this saved my life and that's beautiful. But to see how now it's not just one life being

24:04

impacted. We have immediately five lives that have been impacted and then obviously his co-workers and everybody

24:10

else. The impact is is widespread really. But that was a really beautiful

24:16

story. Um because you just get to see the power that proper nutrition can have

24:21

in our lives that would allow for us to come to the table in a much more meaningful way when it comes to

24:27

relationships. Yeah. Yeah. And what's not particularly spoken about too much is the the uh the

24:34

effect mental health may have on an individual, but also the other people in the family and sometimes the caretakers,

24:41

the other partner or even friends or family and how that plays a massive toll

24:46

on their mental health. They may not have a diagnosis, but seeing their their

24:52

spouse or family member or good friend really really struggling and then being able to reverse that and individually

24:59

taking like Empire Plus and then and then what that does for your health it just amplifies that energy outwards to

25:06

people's children's to their spouse to their friends because people are changing their psych psychology and

25:13

their behaviors very very quickly and they become new people and You can't not

25:18

notice that, especially within a community. You're wondering like what's happening, you know, what's what what's happening with her, what's happening

25:24

with him, you know, what are they doing differently? Like something's changed, something's changing. And some of those

25:30

stories that I hear are when, you know, a mother who's got partner to to to take

25:35

care of, kids to take care of, and pets to take care of, and a house to take care of, they're very frequently at the

25:41

center of of a household. And that can be a very very stressful very demanding is is a very stressful is a very

25:47

demanding role. There's no doubt about that. And when you get those individuals who are maybe you know genetically susceptible to nutritional deficiencies

25:54

or have been chronically nutrient deficient for a long period of time and then they're able to start taking this

25:59

bioavailable micronutrient form that you know we said is validated by 35

26:04

peer-reviewed medical journals from all around the world. you start nutrating that central figure that's just going to

26:11

amplify and have this beautiful cascade that just that just energizes way beyond the family, way beyond the house, out

26:18

into the community and a lot of the individuals who end up funding our product. It's through word of mouth.

26:24

It's seeing transformation in in their own lives, in their own reality, and

26:29

then, you know, seeing the possibility that maybe there's another alternative than just, you know, getting another

26:34

prescription from your doctor to deal with anxiety or depression or whatever

26:40

that may be. Exactly. You know, one of the one of the most unbelievable parts to this and it's hard to actually articulate and that

26:46

that's why it's it's largely almost unbelievable, but you have to see it is is the element that it has that just

26:53

simple vitamins and minerals in the proper form that your body can actually assimilate.

26:58

How much it transforms our lives in who we in our essence are, how we, you know,

27:05

right? like our behaviors, our personalities, um you know, whether or not we're kind

27:10

or we're we're snippy. And and there's even, you know, if we get deeper into it, there's a there's a large spiritual

27:16

component to this. And it's really amazing how our connectivity increases

27:23

by just making sure our body has what it needs. And that's that's the hard thing to articulate is to bridge the gap as to

27:30

oh, come on. like something just you know so simple like right proper iron,

27:35

malinum, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, boron, right? Like selenium, all these different minerals like how how would

27:42

those things change who I am? But they do. They really do. They change our

27:48

behaviors. They change how we see the world. Uh it's just really amazing. In fact, there there's a live blood anal um

27:55

an analysist who would do blood live blood clinics across BC and she would promote our

28:02

products heavily because she saw uh tangibly the difference in the the live blood samples with those who took the

28:09

Empire Plus versus those who didn't. And I sat down with her one time and she communicated something quite profound.

28:15

She said, "The way that you know if somebody's taking enough Empire Plus is when they begin to feel the love." And

28:20

that that was really quite astounding to to make, you know, such a simplistic humanistic connection to it in that way

28:27

that and and it's true. You know, when you have enough because all of a sudden you're able to connect with people and

28:33

and there's we all know that obviously if somebody's overcome with stress or anxiety, they're not connecting with

28:41

people around them. Their mind is consumed. Their mind is elsewhere. You can be having a conversation with them, but it's it's

28:47

just kind of going past them. they're so self- consumed and barriered up that they can't meaningful meaning

28:53

meaningfully connect with somebody around them. Whereas when you take proper nutrition and all of a sudden it's alleviating that your body's able

28:59

to handle the the natural stresses of life. Chronic anxiety is no longer a thing. All of a sudden they're

29:05

connecting with people around them. They're they're externalizing with those around them rather than being so

29:12

internally consumed with whatever it is that that they that's plaguing them or that they think is plaguing them.

29:19

Yeah, well said. And I I think something that I've often spoken about in

29:25

conversations with people when introducing the idea of using nutrition to support your mental health and

29:32

physical health is the fact that these people who do get prescribed very harsh

29:39

psychotropic medications, they are not aderal deficient. They are not zoloth

29:45

deficient. They're not Prozac deficient. are not rolin deficient. They are massively chronically nutrient

29:51

deficient. Mhm. Then there's a product out there that you can take that can very much reverse

29:58

that quite quickly and you can end up being

30:04

a completely new person and you know you're talking about having a love deficiency, having a freedom deficiency,

30:11

a hope deficiency. Like for me like that just car they carry the same frequencies that we're talking about whether you're

30:16

talking about the the right amount of minerals or vitamins in your body and being able to pos do you have the

30:23

ability to pos possess the love necessary to you know be a functional

30:29

human being. It's it's a it's certainly a spiritual question. There's absolutely no doubt. I've spoken to many people on

30:35

the podcast about this spiritual deficiency that so many people are having and I think people are reaching

30:42

out for it more than ever whether they're aware of it or not. That spiritual aspect is absolutely huge and

30:47

it's certainly a sense that I think that we have lost in our

30:53

viciously sped up cultural evolution and our biological evolution has not been

30:58

able to catch up with that. And it's that spiritual element that that really keeps us grounded to all the things

31:03

that, you know, make this life worth living. And I I'd love to just like talk

31:09

about the actual live event that we're going to be having. So for people who are going to be attending the live

31:15

screening in July, what can they expect from the the Q&A session that we're going to have right after the screening

31:21

with yourself, director Todd Harris, and the president of the NHPPA, Sean

31:27

Buckley? What can people expect from that piece? Yeah, I think it's going to be a fantastic Q&A. We've already put it to

31:34

the test uh in two different locations physically when on tour Sean Buckley was

31:40

able to come out and and join with both myself and Todd Michael Harris. And so then now, you know, questions are being

31:46

fielded about, you know, Empower Plus and the Trill Products because people have immediate need and they want to

31:52

know more about it for themselves or their loved ones. Then there's questions about health freedom. what's going on in

31:57

Canada. Sean Buckley is the leading expert in Canada on that. He's he's spearheading really the um the plan of

32:04

action to help reverse some of the stuff that Health Canada's put into place that uh that would ultimately decimate the

32:10

natural health industry and and prevent your access to life-saving natural health products. And so he's an expert

32:17

in that field. He's also a constitutional lawyer. He's represented numerous companies including True Hope, which you'll learn about in the

32:23

documentary uh in the film. he's represented uh True Hope and other natural health companies that Health

32:29

Canada has come against. And so he he's by far the the the the leading expert in

32:35

all of Canada when it comes to that particular topic. And then Todd Michael Harris is a phenomenal film producer uh

32:43

who's been producing films for quite some time and he's he's made some really groundbreaking films over the last

32:48

number of years here and um one of them was called Uninformed Consent. Many people are are aware of that one. It was

32:54

translated into multiple languages, has millions of views across the world and has really opened a lot of people's eyes

33:00

in relation to what's going on and that was largely surrounding pharmaceutical corruption and uh some of the um um well

33:07

really surrounding the COVID shot and what was going on there and how that nobody was operating with any level of

33:13

informed consent because nobody knew what was going on there. So he he's made some very groundbreaking films. So the

33:19

Q&A would you know lots of people are asking him what caused you to want to make this film? uh because it was of his

33:24

own valition. He chose to make this film and he moved forward with it and it's

33:30

serving to bless a lot of people's lives and that's why we're getting behind it to to do these online screenings and to

33:36

make sure that we can be there for the Q&A to to leave people off with not just an emotionally riveting film but also um

33:45

a lot of knowledge that would help uh them navigate moving forward whether in matters of health or in matters of

33:51

health freedom. Yeah, I think the goal is to charge people up. It's to open up people's eyes

33:58

to uh just an alternative way of thinking and then to have people right

34:03

there who can answer questions that will pop up because a lot of questions will come up for a lot of people. a lot of

34:08

beliefs will be challenged and to have yourself, Todd, and Sean available to

34:15

kind of take on those three different sections um is going to be just an amazing asset and you know, well worth

34:20

the $10 for the ticket alone, I think. And you've you've lived this battle for

34:27

well over a couple of decades. And if someone if someone watching this film walks away with just one realization,

34:34

what do you hope that that is? Well, you just said it, hope. They

34:39

realize there's hope. There's hope in relation to matters of health freedom and turning things back in relation to

34:45

the tyrannical measures that Health Canada's taking. And there's hope in relation to their own personal health

34:50

and the the health of those around them that people don't have to be enslaved to these the the disease or dysfunction

34:57

that's plagguing them that we call mental illness. um that there is hope and that there's there's substance to

35:04

that hope that there is, you know, there is legitimacy to it. And so that's what

35:09

people are walking away with. So we found people were really inspired when they were leaving the events that we

35:15

did. And like I said, we did about 30 events in 36 days across the country all the way from Vancouver Island over to to

35:20

Ottawa. And the feedback was almost the same in every single place. Sometimes

35:26

the conversation would be more predominantly surrounding health freedom. sometimes to be more about health. And so it was quite dynamic that

35:33

way. But um everybody was walking away um empowered in one way or another uh

35:38

from the information that they were getting, not just from the film, but from the the discussion that took place afterwards.

35:46

Love it. Absolutely wonderful. Um and then finally, to those people on the fence about getting tickets, what would

35:52

you say to them directly, heartto-he heart? Oh. Uh, you'll never I promise

35:58

you this, you won't um get done, you know, the hour and a half film and then,

36:03

you know, hour Q&A afterwards and say that's two and a half hours of time I'll never get back. I I can promise you

36:09

that. That was one thing that I was gauging as as we went across the country. And I can confidently make that statement. And if for some reason that

36:16

that anybody ever had that mindset, hey, uh I'm sure we could figure out a way to

36:21

refund you. Um, so don't sit on the fence. This this is one of those things that uh that many many people have

36:27

reported thus far that uh that they're changed over it. It's absolutely

36:33

paradigm challenging. Uh but it's paradigm challenging in a way that that it it's enlightening. People are walking

36:38

away with a better understanding of of how mental illness works and as such a better understanding of how to how to

36:45

correct those those situations that plague so many people that so many people are enslaved to. So, if you're

36:51

sitting on the fence, just just just take the plunge. Just do it. It's $10,

36:58

two and a half hours time. And and like I said, I I I can promise you with a great level of confidence that you will

37:05

not regret it. That you will come away with with some life-changing information. And there's a good chance

37:11

that your life will be forever changed if you apply that information that you receive uh in the film and in the Q&A

37:18

afterwards. Fantastic. Yep. So, mark your calendars. July 22nd and 23rd coming up uh pretty

37:27

soon here. You know, True Hope Canada is going to be hosting this exclusive live online screening of Epiphany, the True
