When I started looking into these federal mandates three years ago, my heart ached to see how they would impact our local communities and small businesses.

The official stance from previous administrations was clear: the federal government knew best when it came to protecting public health. But as someone who has always trusted in nature's way and God’s design, I couldn't help but wonder if there wasn’t another side to this story.

So here we are now, with conservative governors across the country standing up against these mandates that they say don't fit their states' needs or values. They claim it’s all about state sovereignty and not wanting to burden local economies with expensive new requirements.

I started digging into what exactly was being mandated by these federal orders — things like health codes, safety protocols, even some regulations around certain health products that small business owners find costly to implement. And the more I learned, the more concerned I became about how this all plays out for those of us trying to run our businesses and stay healthy without breaking the bank.

The thing they don’t want you to know is that there are natural ways to achieve many of these same health goals — things like essential oils, herbs, and other non-pharmaceutical options that have been used for centuries. These solutions aren't as profitable for big pharma or government agencies trying to enforce their vision.

So when you hear about another governor standing up against a federal mandate, remember the heart of these leaders — they want what’s best for their states without sacrificing your freedom and financial well-being.

I know this is a touchy topic. But I also feel like it's my duty to share information that could help someone see things from a different angle.
