A Special Edition NHPPA Talk Forum LIVE … Again! | Elliot Overton: More About Thiamine Deficiency
Tonight, Wednesday April 29, 4PM PT / 7PM ET
Special Extended Rebroadcast: Why So Many of Us Are Thiamine Deficient
Many of you watched, shared, and responded powerfully to last week’s NHPPA Talk Forum with Elliot Overton. The reaction has been outstanding.
For those who missed it — and for everyone who wants the full picture — we are re-releasing the episode as a special extended edition. This version includes important new content that directly answers the question so many asked: how did we become so deficient in thiamine in the first place?
In this extended interview, Shawn Buckley speaks with Elliot Overton, a leading expert on thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. Elliot explains how this essential nutrient powers cellular energy, nerve signalling, and the autonomic nervous system — and why its absence can produce fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, anxiousness, dizziness, and many chronic conditions.
Why This Matters Mainstream medicine rarely investigates nutritional root causes, leaving Canadians cycling through symptom management. Understanding how thiamine deficiency develops gives you a practical, safe way to address symptoms at their source. NHPPA exists to protect your access to natural health products and defend informed choice so tools like this remain available.
3 of Canada’s leading legal experts discuss land rights in Canada—and take questions from you! Watch live next week at nhppa.org/live
Featuring:
Leighton Grey: Has led high-profile constitutional cases, is a published author and hosts the ‘Grey Matter’ podcast.
Bruce Pardy: A leading voice on regulatory overreach, the rule of law, and the defence of civil and property freedoms in Canada.
And of course, our very own Shawn Buckley: A nationally recognized advocate for constitutional limits on government power and the protection of individual and property rights.

Health on the Hill: A New Battlefield – the Family Farm
Is the One Health Policy Creating Toxic Milk and Sick Cows?
Shawn Buckley’s latest column for Vitality magazine is now available — and it is one you do not want to miss.
In this powerful piece, Shawn writes about his sit-down with Tyler, a third-generation dairy farmer whose family has been producing milk since 1950. What Tyler reveals is alarming: government policies and mandatory programs like proAction are transforming traditional family farms into heavily regulated, chemical-dependent operations.
Shawn connects the dots to Canada’s adoption of the WHO’s One Health Policy and shows how fear is being used to justify the destruction of small family farms in favour of corporate consolidation.
Take action: Share this column with your friends, family, and neighbours. Then contact your MP and demand they stop the regulatory war on small farms.
Add Your Voice: NHPPA’s Brief Has Been Submitted and Accepted — Now It’s Your Turn
Great news — NHPPA has officially submitted our formal brief to the Standing Committee on Health in support of Bill C-224, and it has been accepted and published.
This is a critical opportunity to push back against the harmful regulatory changes hidden in the 2023 Budget Bill that threaten access to natural health products. The Committee needs to hear strongly from professionals and everyday Canadians who understand why informed choice and access to NHPs matter.
Expert briefs carry significant weight, and several have already been submitted and published. However, one major brief opposes C-224, which means your voice is more important than ever.
We have made the process straightforward. Our detailed guidance walks you through exactly how to structure and submit a brief so it is accepted and published. You do not need to be a formal expert. A clear, personal account of why natural health products are important to you or your patients is powerful.
Take action today. Follow our instructions, write your brief, and submit it before the deadline.
Every additional submission strengthens the case for health freedom and helps protect access to the natural health products Canadians rely on.
Submit your brief now — instructions and templates are available on our website.
