A discussion with Dean Camfferman, owner of Surrey Natural Foods, recorded during the NHPPA Health Charter Tour.

Drawing from personal experience with extreme fatigue in his 40s, he discusses how deep breathing practices, nutrition, vitamin D, and supplementation helped restore his health and shaped his commitment to natural health education. The conversation explores the critical role of independent health food stores, staff training, product quality, supplier relationships, and the impact of Health Canada regulations on innovation, truthful health information, and consumer access.

During the Victoria stop of the NHPPA’s cross-Canada Health Charter Tour, Shawn Buckley sits down for a live, on-stage interview with Jason Watkins to explore lived experience, personal health challenges, and the real-world consequences of Canada’s restrictive health regulations. The conversation highlights why Canadians’ personal health stories are so often censored or dismissed, and how individual outcomes frequently contradict official narratives. This interview is part of the Health Charter Tour, a grassroots, volunteer-driven journey across Canada designed to educate the public, share censored health stories, gather signatures for a federal petition, and build national support for the Charter of Health Freedom—a proposed law to protect access to natural remedies, truthful health information, and patient-centered health decision-making.
