Time for an update! 2025 continues it's crazy trajectory and we've now hit full throttle! People continue to hint at me writing books about our wild food and medicine escapades. The textbook idea is taking shape, and I've decided the herbal compendium will be a trip through history as we follow herbal medicine as far back as we can. Currently, that promises to be a food and medicine list of at least 217 foods, herbs and spices, just under half the current number of plants in my nutrtional/medicinal wholefood database. Just today, someone hoped my foraging notebook had more in it than just the basics of how to forage for wild foods. So I may take parts of my "textbook" and build both a "herbs in the Central Okanagan" book, and either share in it or share in yet another book, the experiences we've had with using wild herbs as our pharmacy at home. ANNOUNCEMENT TO CENTRAL OKANAGANITES!!! The Advanced Foraging Workshop: Thistle Dip and Breaded Thistle spears, is coming up June 28th and we have two people already registered! The last day to register is June 7th. For those who like to pay in person, come see us at Booth 105 in the Vernon Rec Centre in the hallway between the Auditorium and the gym. If you want to catch us in person before Creative Chaos, come to see us at the Rutland Flea Market on June 1st. https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2025/05/25/book-fair-and-workshop-update/

We are a couple days away from the Arrowleaf Balsamroot Advanced Foraging Workshop on Saturday. Registration closed for this one back on May 3rd. The next Advanced Foraging Workshop is June 28th, and will cover making yummy foods with the flower buds of Canada Thistle, and the leaf ribs of Scotch Thistle. Right now, early registrants for the Thistle workshop are in Vernon. As I do not know the trails around Vernon very well, I am open to anyone telling me where they've seen both canada Thistle and Scotch or Bull Thistle on public-use land. Foraging has exploded this year. We are seeing evidence of other foragers, so for those reading this who also forage, remember the 5% rule! Never take more than 5% of any given patch so that animals and people coming behind you can avail themselves of the abundance too. The textbook-writing idea is slowly taking shape. I've come to the conclusion that we are not traditional herbalists, we are phytotherapeutic herbalists! As I start writing my textbook dig up research to confirm what I want to say and verify or add to it, discovering why colleges teach backward herbalism, labelling it as Traditional, is a slap in the face and explains why so many believers are so wary of anyone who claims to be a Christian AND claims to be a herbalist or healer. My textbook will teach a version of Western Herbalism I am terming: The Phytotherapeutic Herbalist! The working title for the book is A Christian Perspective on Western Herbalism. If you know people who would like to be kept in the loop about this book, tell them to register for this newsletter. They can visit the site to do that, or you can forward my newsletter emails to them and they can respond asking to register for the newsletter. https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2025/05/15/foraging-escapades-writing-and-workshops/

Globalist and WEF compadre and former central banker Mark Carney took 86% of votes to become leader of Canada’s ruling party. Carney will succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister, who announced his resignation after nine years in power. Carney has argued that he was best placed to oversee trade negotiations with Donald Trump and said he would keep retaliatory tariffs in place until “the Americans show us respect.” This ensured that Schwab would still retain control over Canadian politics. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/canada/globalist-seized-control-of-canada-mark-carney/

Liberals spent nearly $50,000 on padded bikini tops for 'trans kids'!

Liberal-NDP cabal drop pension grab amid public scrutiny! Conservatives say moving the 2025 general election back one week is ‘a cynical, dishonest attempt’ to pad Liberal and New Democrat pockets with pensions. 🇨🇦#NoMoreLiberalsAndNDP🇨🇦 🇨🇦#SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud🇨🇦 🇨🇦#resigntrudeau🇨🇦 🇨🇦#JustSayNoMore🇨🇦 https://www.rebelnews.com/liberal_ndp_cabal_drop_pension_grab_amid_public_scrutiny

The utter insanity of government regulation, as presented by Elon Musk: "You really can think of the United States and many countries, it's arguably worse in the EU, as being like Gulliver, tied down by a million little strings. And any one given regulation is not that bad, but you've got a million of them or millions, actually. And then, eventually, you just can't get anything done. And this is a massive tax on the consumer, on the people. It's just that they don't realize that there's this massive tax in the form of irrational regulations. I'll give you a recent example that is just insane. SpaceX was fined by the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] $140,000 for, they claimed, dumping potable water on the ground, drinking water. This is at Starbase, and we're like, we're in a tropical thunderstorm region. That stuff comes from the sky all the time. You know, it was just water to cool the launch pad during liftoff. And there's zero harm done. And they agree: Yes, there's zero harm done. We're like, okay, so there's no harm done, and you want us to pay a $140,000 fine? Yes, because you didn't have a permit. Okay. We didn't know there was a permit needed for zero-harm, fresh water being on the ground in a place where fresh water falls from the sky all the time. I mean, sometimes it rains so much the roads are flooded. So we're like, how does this make any sense? And they were like, we're not going to process any more of your applications for Starship launch unless you pay this $140,000. They just ransomed us. And we're like, okay, so we paid $140,000. But this is no good. I mean, at this rate, we're never going to get to Mars."

1 min BREAKING Jasper Canada - looking a lot like a DEW attack. 🇨🇦😬🔥 “A fast-moving wildfire has destroyed parts of Jasper, the old mountain town in the Canadian Rockies, with the mayor warning the damage was “beyond description and comprehension”. The blaze had forced more than 25,000 people to flee earlier this week. Jasper national park officials said the fire entered the southern edge of the town on Wednesday evening. But, given the speed and intensity of the blaze, fire crews working to protect key infrastructure were ordered to retreat. Video shared to social media on Thursday showed swaths of the town incinerated by fire. The video, taken by an anonymous official from inside a truck, shows the smouldering remains of the town.” https://www.facebook.com/share/v/paDwt3LFeNywv6GE/?mibextid=KsPBc6 https://amp.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/25/jasper-alberta-canada-wildfire
