  • in answer to yesterday's article, I went looking for something to make for myself. Two questions came to mind: Could one make chickpea hummus with carrots, and can one blend cheese into hummus?

    Various people do include carrots in their hummus. I then found a recipe for a cottage cheese hummus, and figured I could swap in my cheese sauce instead. While digging these up, I found another way to prepare dry chickpeas that doesn't involve soaking all night.

    I enjoyed my first meal with the dip, and then went to my database. As noted in yesterday's article, vitamin's A,C, and E have been noted to help with anti-inflammatory action in the lungs. Both A and E are fat soluble, and that is provided in my dip with the cheese sauce made from heavy cream.

    Parsley is in the list of foods containing beneficial compounds for lung health and healing, boasting 9 of the 29 compounds that bring down inflammation and help restore function, Onions contain both cysteine and quercetin, both found by researchers to be beneficial in the quest for better lung health.

    Strategic eating for the win! Imagine being able to enjoy your food and benefit from it at the same time?! Strategic eating can benefit you as well. Reach out if you'd like to learn how food can be medicine in your home.

  • We were recently approached at the Rutland Flea Market, with whether or not we had any teas that would be recommended for someone suffering COPD. The day was slow, so Ashley began looking up a few studies online, sent me a couple links, and when we got home, I began my own research.

    Various compounds found in food, herbs and spices have been observed for their ability to address some aspect of COPD. A few of the herbs are in one or more of the teas we sell on Ashley's Ashtree Wildcrafting table, and we have zeroed in on the specific tea to offer the inquirer when we see them again.

    COPD is a multi-faceted condition that can begin a number of ways, including smoking or being around smokers, poor long-term dietary choices, age, and bacterial lung infections. The COPD sufferer needs to assess their lifestyle, their environment, and their daily food habits if they want to begin the road to healing.

    If you are suffering asthma, COPD, emphysema, or similar ailments and you got to the end of this article wondering how you'd make use of this information for yourself, feel free to reach out to me using this form, and let's chat.

  • The Cleveland Clinic has come out with a study of their employees, 54,000 of them, to study the effectiveness of the flu shot. They discovered that those who got the shot were almost 27% more likely to get the flu than those who were unvaxxed.

    In trying to briefly see what other studies existed, a family member went to google and found their AI giving mainstream regurgitation instead of actual information on the studies.

    So if the shot is useless and you can't trust the information you're digging up, how do you handle going into each year's mass bout of ill health?

    Boost your immune system naturally, and avoid the hidden trouble with getting shots. That hidden trouble often doesn't manifest till years down the road when you are now feeding mainstream medical's remedies for the problems they inserted into your body.

  • While the CNN reference taking up several pages could have been omitted, Mercola's pulled together a number of studies and reports that are showing alarming trends around the whole GLP-1 drug craze. He then lists a number of more useful steps a person can take if they want the purported results of GLP-1 without risking the adverse side effects that are growing in number out there. Repairing your gut is at the top of the list, because a certain gut bacterium is known to do the job that many GLP-1 drugs claim to do, without the side effects. If you want to see the studies for yourself, go to the end of his article and click on the papers you want to read. The footnotes will take you directly to each paper or article.

    If you would like assistance with putting that workable list into practice, or wanting to know what foods, herbs and spices can help you achieve a similar goal, reach out to me and lets chat.

  • It's time for the Top 25 for 2025! This is the moment when we look at what the most popular articles were from last year, and get a glimpse into who is viewing them.

    Apparently bread-making was at the very top of the list! People wanting to learn about my services got a good number of hits as well, which I find very encouraging.

    Both my cookie articles made it into the top 25! Who says going wild means giving up fun things like sweets? (we won't mention the brain needs sugar, just not at junkfood levels).

    I was happy to see how many devotional commentaries made it into the top 25 articles. As your Biblical Natural Health Coach, my premise does come solidly from Scripture as the final authority on what I share and do.

    I stopped keeping up with the latest in SEO rules and regulations, and even without those efforts anymore, the following list of referrers showed up for 2025:

    As problematic as gab has been over this past year for me as a user, it has sent a fair number of visitors to my content. Both Librti and USA.life, two other alternative platforms that I am on, have sent traffic as well.

    Lists like this show that no matter where you live, shifting to a more natural way of handling your health using food as medicine is a common train of thought these days.

    The baffling thing for me, is seeing decidedly muslim nations in the list. Places such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia. it is my prayer that the true seekers among them will find Christ as their Lord and Saviour. If you've never made this decision and want to learn more, reach out to me and let's chat.

    This concludes our look back over 2025 and what it meant for content people are viewing on Naturalhealthgodsway.ca. Here's looking out across 2026, and asking God to go with us into a year that promises to be adventurous in more ways than one.

  • Many reach their older years and begin slowing down, often by choice because, that's what you do when you get older, right??? Not if farmers I know, horse owners I know, and others who remain very active into their older years have anything to say on the matter. The notion that after a certain milestone, it's time to slow down, is a bunch of crock that is damaging and shortening many lives.

    My focus is wholefood as medicine that might grow outside your front door, but guess what? Going out to get that wild-grown food takes time, effort, and action to do. But again, you're getting fresher air than staying indoors, getting exercise, benefiting from getting your hands dirty (literally, just ask any dedicated gardener about their overall health) and you're getting free food and medicine that lowers your older years' expenses that mainstream medicine might try to thrust on you! Maybe you're a brown thumb like me and can't garden because you kill everything. But you can harvest what God grows out there and eat better than visiting the produce section at the store AND stay out of the pharmacy at the same time. Your physical and financial health both benefit here.

  • CANADIAN BIRTH RATE VS. MASS IMMIGRATION

    ...from friendly and/or hostile cultures towards the west,
    is not only an important but also an urgent conversation we need to have!

    Can we survive without it?

    With current 1.25 birth rate per woman in Canada, and the minimum birth rate sociology experts recommended to prevent a society from going instinct is 2.1 per biological and socially Canadian women in Canada.

    Not the Canadian only by paper yet their hearts belong to a more sinister demographic take over agenda for a hostile religion or non-Canadian culture, but actual Canadian women in hearts and minds, not only by birth but a woman espousing authentic Canadian social, cultural and family values, married to an authentic Canadian man in heart and mind!

    Is migration a necessary evil we have to embrace?

    There is also double standards in Canada about growing your family. Islamic polygamists, Muslims having 3 ,4, 5 or more wives are not on the radar of the authorities, they have effectively turned a blind eye that this is actually happening in Canada, despite the blatant declaration of the Islamist that one of their methods to take over western societies is by demographic shifts.

    Muslims are indeed showing the fastest growth by birth rate in Canada and the west. Christian polygamists like the fundamentalist latter day saints and others are raided and vilified constantly by the authorities! Why the double standards?

    Muslim women in Canada have an average fertility rate of 2.4 children per woman. This is notably higher than the general Canadian population, which averaged approximately 1.4 to 1.6 children per woman in recent periods.

    Child-bearing Age: A larger proportion of the Muslim population is entering or is currently in child-bearing years. Roughly 26.3% of Muslims are under the age of 15, compared to only 16.5% of the total Canadian population.

    Islam allows adult Muslim men to take 9 year old girls as their wives and get them pregnant at a young age!

    Population Projections
    Current Proportion: As of early 2026, Muslims represent approximately 5% to 5.2% of Canada's total population.

    Future Growth: Projections estimate the Muslim population will reach 2.7 million by 2030 (about 6.6% of the population) and could rise to 5.9 million (12.6%) by 2050.

    Western women had been socially engineered since the mid 60's to embrace careers and shun starting families early.

    This socially engineered mindset had been installed to become an individualist value and belief system by design to undermine population growth in Western societies!

    Economists are also weighing in.

    Unless an economy is on a constant growth trajectory, it is on a constant decline. Economies are like bi-directional rivers/creeks it's going only one way or the other it cannot stand still.

    Economic growth is also closely tied to population growth. When the population growth rate of a society is on a constant decline, it's economy is also on a constant recession. That translate directly to inflation and how we are able to afford food and necessities and all the retail prices in groceries, at the pumps and shopping malls!

    If we have to embrace migration to prevent extinction of our society and maintain the growth of our economy, should we be bringing in migration from hostile cultures or migrants compatible with Western Values?

    What difference does it make if we selectively vs indiscriminately import migration from other Christian societies, Hinduist societies, Islamic societies, caste discrimination societies, honour killings societies, communist societies, sharia law societies, public defecating societies, narco-economic societies? Does it make a difference, should we discriminate or just bring the entire world in, the good the bad and the ugly?

    Let's have an honest , adult and meaningful conversation about this!

    Property Taxes: Socialist Theft in Disguise

    The Inherent Unfairness and Socialist Underpinnings of Property Taxes: A Deep Dive into Coercive Wealth Redistribution

    Property taxes stand as one of the most insidious forms of government overreach, embodying the socialist ethos that private ownership is merely a temporary illusion until the state decides otherwise. At their core, these taxes treat your home, land, or business not as your rightful property but as a communal asset ripe for plundering based on arbitrary assessments of its “value.” Unlike voluntary market transactions where prices reflect supply, demand, and mutual agreement, property taxes escalate simply because some bureaucrat deems your asset worth more — often due to factors beyond your control, like neighborhood improvements funded by others or inflation-driven appraisals. Imagine buying a modest house for $200,000, only to see your tax bill double a decade later because gentrification or zoning changes inflated its assessed value to $400,000, even though your income hasn’t budged. This isn’t fairness; it’s a punitive system that punishes success and stability. Food prices don’t skyrocket because your home appreciated; neither does gasoline or a haircut. Yet the state, in its infinite wisdom, demands more for the “privilege” of owning what you’ve already paid for, all while providing the same mediocre services — roads that crumble, schools that under-perform, and police response times that lag regardless of your tax bracket. This Marxist-inspired mechanism collapses the moment we refuse to view private property as public domain, subject to endless reclamation by the collective.

    Delving deeper, the percentage-based structure of property taxes is nothing more than a sleight-of-hand designed to mask raw dollar extraction. Governments don’t budget in percentages; they spend in cold, hard cash for fixed costs like infrastructure, public safety, and bloated administrative empires. A wealthy homeowner with a multimillion-dollar estate already shoulders a wildly disproportionate share of these expenses through higher assessments, yet they consume far less per capita than lower-value property owners. They don’t send fleets of kids to public schools (opting for private education instead), they rarely burden public hospitals with frequent visits (thanks to premium healthcare), and they certainly don’t rely on welfare programs funded by these very taxes. Why, then, should their tax liability balloon simply because their property’s paper value rose? This isn’t about equitable contribution; it’s envy-fueled socialism, where the state plays Robin Hood with your assets, redistributing wealth from producers to parasites under the guise of “community benefit.” Consider the elderly widow on a fixed income whose family home, bought decades ago, now faces skyrocketing taxes due to market surges — she’s forced to sell her lifelong sanctuary to satisfy the taxman’s greed. Billionaires like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos pay millions in property taxes on their holdings, funding services they barely touch, while subsidized housing residents pay pennies or nothing. This imbalance exposes the hypocrisy: property taxes aren’t about paying for what you use; they’re about leveling the playing field by dragging down those who’ve built or inherited value, echoing Karl Marx’s call to abolish private property in favor of collective control.

    Exposing the Fallacies: From Unrealized Gains to Envy Masquerading as Justice

This isn’t about equitable contribution; it’s envy-fueled socialism, where the state plays Robin Hood with your assets, redistributing wealth from producers to parasites under the guise of “community benefit.” Consider the elderly widow on a fixed income whose family home, bought decades ago, now faces skyrocketing taxes due to market surges — she’s forced to sell her lifelong sanctuary to satisfy the taxman’s greed. Billionaires like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos pay millions in property taxes on their holdings, funding services they barely touch, while subsidized housing residents pay pennies or nothing. This imbalance exposes the hypocrisy: property taxes aren’t about paying for what you use; they’re about leveling the playing field by dragging down those who’ve built or inherited value, echoing Karl Marx’s call to abolish private property in favor of collective control.
