We are joined in this incredibly inspiring live interview by the coordinators for The People’s Health Alliance NZ, Alexia Montague and Rachel Shields.
Alexia and Rachel joined me to talk about the amazing work the People's Health Alliance NZ are doing on the ground, particularly after the recent cyclone flooding disasters in parts of New Zealand.
The People’s Health Alliance is creating an alternative decentralised people-led integrative healthcare model via global hubs that empower and support people to take back control of their own health.
Alexia is an Alexander Technique Teacher of 24 years, which is a therapy based on the idea that poor posture gives rise to a range of health problems. and she is also a mother of two living on a small farm with a passion for natural medicine, traditional healing practices and spiritual innerstanding.
Rachel is originally from England and moved to New Zealand in 2008. She is a photographer, creative, an NLP Master Practitioner and a mother of two, who struggled with a challenged immune system for over 30 years.
Alexia begins by explaining how the PHA NZ came to be because of an interview astrologer Pam Gregory did with one of the founders of PHA, Katherine McBean.
Alexia explains how she personally has been on “a natural health spiritual path” for a long time and was born into a family that was quite “an awake sceptic of government medical processes.”
Rachel, on the other hand, explains how she had no idea how corrupt the world was until she started “researching frantically the ingredients of this jab that was to be rolled out” because her son had reacted to his first MMR vaccine, an injection against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles).
Rachel expands that it was actually her mother who “joined the dots” and realised that the convulsions that she had as a baby and “dying and being resuscitated could actually have been a vaccine reaction, and she’s a nurse.”
Rachel adds that she also grew up thinking “there’s gotta be another way” and when she heard about The People’s Health Alliance, she thought “this is what I’ve been waiting for. This is the right model.”
Rachel then dives into how her convulsions as a baby were followed with always being ill growing up. She shares how she went to hospital covered in blisters following the rubella vaccine and her immune system only continued to weaken after that. When she took a recommended shot to go to Australia, she developed ME and chronic fatigue. Rachel’s light bulb moment came, she explains, when a doctor who just happened to be Head of Environmental and Nutritional Medicine for Australia recommended intravenous Vitamin C, organic food and moving away from any mobile phone towers in the area, and Rachel’s immune system and deep fatigue started to improve.
Alexia next explains in more detail how The People’s Health Alliance replaces the failing health system by reestablishing trust because The PHA is “for the people, by the people” and enables people to “take back their choice” over their own health and not be dictated to.
The PHA NZ, continues Alexia, was launched in July 2022, now has over 20 hubs across the country and “the spark, it was like wild fire,” she explains.
Next Rachel describes in more detail the emergency pop up hubs that were initiated by The PHA NZ to support victims of the cyclone that hit New Zealand in February 2023, causing severe damage, flooding and loss of homes.
Rachel expands on the devastation caused by the “adverse weather event” that recently shook New Zealand. “The damage was incredible,” says Rachel. Main roads were closed, houses were flattened, roads have been washed away, the government response was poor, and 7 weeks later “there are still people who are cut off” and “who can’t live in their homes.”
People are “psychologically warn down,” continues Rachel, but people knowing the pop up hubs are there “is offering that psychological support, that they know that other people around the country are trying to set up systems for them when the local authorities or government aren’t, so it’s holding space for a lot of people.”
“There was so much water,” elaborates Rachel, “that it went from ground level to roof level in about 10 minutes.” “There’s just so much trauma,” adds Alexia, and “there’s a lot of anger at the fact that there was no warning … and then [people] left on roofs for 8 hours … there’s a lot of unanswered questions.”
The official help that has got through has been councillors “writing prescriptions for Valium,” continues Rachel, whereas “organising the pop up hub and having healing and cranial osteopathy - those modalities actually help the body to not hold on to the trauma, so that’s key.”
Alexia next talks about the mainstream coverage of the event and how people wanted to help in New Zealand, but the money donated primarily went to organisation such as the Red Cross “and now we’re finding none of the money has been filtered through” and “the government official channels are just not helping” and it has been “many people-led groups just going down to say ‘Okay, we’re gonna do it ourselves.’”
People on the ground are angry and still uncovering the truth about what really happened, continues Alexia. “The mainstream media didn’t cover anything,” adds Rachel, “It was all the other alternative media that were actually talking about what was going on.”
Next Rachel describes the initial days following the devastation and how it was the connections that The PHA NZ has with other groups in New Zealand that enabled the rapid initial galvanising and then getting organised in just days.
Rachel explains how The PHA NZ in collaboration with other groups could help get food and clean up teams to people in desperate need because, Alexia explains, “the cell network went down, so all communications were down” and “there was no electricity, so it was really a disaster situation.”
“It proved the need,” expands Alexia, “as people like Katherine McBean had foreseen, that when the health systems and when main systems crash, we’re gonna need some kind of back up.”
Rachel next explains how anyone in New Zealand can get involved in The PHA NZ by going to the hubs section of the website to see the location of and relevant Telegram channel for the many different hubs all across New Zealand.
Whether “a member of the community .. or whether you’re a practitioner,” people can search for people and practitioners in their area, start a hub, share possibilities for places to rent or to do pop up hubs, help with the social media, help get the word out, and even provide a garden or land for food.
The People’s Health Alliance (and sister initiative The People’s Food and Farming Alliance) is “in 30 countries around the world now, or 32,” adds Alexia, “We’re keen to get Food and Farming off the ground [in NZ] too and link it in with the hubs because of course it’s an absolute base aspect of health.”
“Now is the time,” adds Rachel, and “people know it.” For people struggling in these times, “connection is key and that’s why another reason these hubs are so important,” says Alexia. “It can be as simple as meeting with likeminded others in a café, or at the beach. Connection helps us all. It grows our heart space, and that will raise our spirits.”
“Just look .. through the PHA Telegram channels .. There’s so much happening that it is really is great - it’s shifting that mindset and helping you to think ‘OK what is it that I wanna create?’ and all the tools and the tips and the groups are there,” suggests Rachel. “Connect with those people and build what you want. What is it that you want? Just start. .. If you start creating, that has a ripple effect, and it’s not about trying to wake everyone up before you get started. Just start.”
“Everyone has a voice that they can express, they can contribute, in whatever small way. Basically standing up and joining is what’s needed for people to unite and show what we want, not what a small number of overlords are trying to impose on us,” adds Alexia.
The interview finishes with a discussion among the live audience. Kevin, who was Rachel’s point of contact on the ground, explains it was like a “war situation” and the best description of the disaster “was a reverse tsunami.”
Kevin shares some photos while Kim Knight (see Kim’s interview) adds “I think it’s on a par with the Christchurch earthquakes,” and “it is the psychological health that is the most important.”
Alexia and Rachel expand on their experiences on the ground, the importance of being heard, how it was people power and very much the freedom movement that joined forces to help, and how this experience has demonstrated that The PHA has an effective framework ready to replace the old health/support systems.
