A TV station called
They want to do a story on the gift economy in Vancouver on July 28th. They like that a total stranger gave me their home, and how fast this movement has spread.
Ian Mckenzie, the award winning filmmaker, will be one of our guests, all the way from Victoria. It'll be nice to meet and make new friends.

We went viral: "Man's tumour shrinks when he alters environment, shuns cancer treatments in favor of acts of kindness
I woke up the other day with a friend telling me she read about me on natural news, the internet's most-trafficked natural health news website to their 1.2 million subscribers. The founder, Mike Adams, posted it on his Twitter.
I wasn't aware of it. No journalist contacted me. I guess they simply found my story, read my blog, and ran with it.
Thank you Natural News!
"(NaturalNews) While most people are focused on paying their own bills, sorting through their own finances and seeking to generate more income, unemployed Brice Royer has made it his mission to pay others' rent. Such generosity is just one example of the many ways he helps others. Of course, the burning question exists: Why does he do it?

We were also on Good News Network the other day, forgot to post that. Too many news stories to post!
It has been less than 2 months, and we now have local "Gift economy groups" in over 8 cities. Three new groups started within a few days!

My dentist is reducing her fees as a gift
"I got your email but I don't understand, so I was going to call you." said my holistic dentist's office Megan and Dr. Anderson in North Vancouver. "Let me get this clear. You want to pay other people's dental amalgam removal?"
"Yes." I explained. "It's a poison, and we should get it out. The cost is a barrier for most people, but if they start with that first tooth, it will get the ball rolling."
"That is so very generous of you, Brice... Since you are doing this, we're going to reduce our fees." she said.
She kindly offered the following to anyone I refer to for amalgam removal.
"Normally, we charge $83.60 for the consultation, but we'll give them our reduced fee of 45$." she offered. In addition, she will waive the price of the oxygen during the safe removal -- it'll be free.
As I previously offered, I will contribute $200 out of my own pocket to those I have already committed to so the the consult will cost you $0.
The next local person in line is "CL." who sent me an email. You know who you are, I'll get in touch with you.
Disclosure: I get nothing ($0) from my dentist by referring others to her except:
1) A happy feeling which will result in healing my cancer.
2) I won't feel like a hypocrite anymore. I believe in "Love your neighbour as yourself" but I never did it. I don't trade, buy or sell with family or friends. If I need anything, my mom and dad gives it to me. If my friends need something, I give it to them. No trade, barter, or exchange. Why treat my neighbour and strangers differently?
3) I'll remove the cause of disease. Not the mercury, but the reason why the mercury is in your teeth, air, and ocean in the first place. When I remove trade transactions and give you a gift, we are no longer strangers. We are friends. We treat family and friends differently than strangers and clients. We care more. When I give and receive, instead of buying and selling, I am eliminating the harmful psychological side-effects that comes from trade such as separation. I'm also preventing wealth accumulation's side effects such as lack of empathy, greed, and unethical behaviour -- which leads to pollution, the marketing of unsafe or questionable products for economic gain (processed foods w/ preservatives), wealth inequality, deforestation, mineral depletion, drilling oil, etc., which we now know are risk factors leading to cancer and most of our global crises today.
If we remove the causes of cancer, we won't need "cures".
The cause of our global crises today is from our separation, the cure is our reconnection.

The stranger who offered me her home
A stranger heard I'm looking for housing and contacted me on Facebook: "Did you find a place to stay? I have a home near UBC. It's a 5 bedrooms." she wrote.
"How did you hear about me?" I asked.
"On the gift economy group." she answered. "I would normally rent it out, but I'd like to gift it to you. " she said. "What is your name by the way?"
"My name is Brice." I answered.
This person doesn't know me. She has no idea I recently paid a stranger's rent for 1 year. She doesn't know I'm the founder of a non-profit organization, or an entrepreneur, or that I decided to stop buying or selling because I believe our economy is at the root cause of my cancer. All she knows is my health isn't in good condition and I am looking for hospitality.
She genuinely wanted to help me and expected nothing in return.
"Thank you so much Jane. The home may or may not be the right fit," I said, thinking of my many chemical and electromagnetic sensitivities. "but you really touched my heart with your generosity."
Jane Courtney is a registered nurse and alternative healer.
I noticed she charges $100/hr for an individual healing session. But she posted her services on the gift economy group: "Message me if you would like to come and learn release stress from your day." she wrote.
I looked at the price:
$0.
She is gifting her services to 3 people tomorrow. If you're a small business owner, you know it takes a great leap of faith to offer your services as a gift.
Don't take my words for it. Check her post in our group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/307554252727875/
What an incredible person with an amazing heart.

Public service: I'll pay your dental care.
(Feel free to share) Public service: I'll pay your dental care. If you're sick and have dental amalgams "silver fillings", I will pay your holistic dentist to remove them safely (up to $200 per tooth) and find a safer alternative for you.
Why am I doing this?
1) Your sickness affects me because you can't contribute your greatest gifts to the world if you're poisoned. The health care burden for chronic illness eventually goes to tax-payers. The world needs you to be healthy too.
2) Around the world, there's a golden rule: "Do onto others.." and "Love your neighbour as yourself". I believe I have cancer because I don't love my neighbour like family. I only believe I do and pay lip-service, but I actually don't. With family and those I love, I never sell, buy, barter, or trade. I only give and receive freely. Why should I treat strangers differently? Am I not a hypocrite? So I decided to love you like family. I will give and receive freely and I don't expect anything back from you in return.
3) Damage control costs you a fortune. If you continue to be poisoned, your brain fog, food allergies, "leaky gut", heart palpitation, and weak immune system won't resolve no matter how many vitamins, diets, and lifestyle changes you make. It's like feeding vitamins to a fish in polluted water. We live in a toxic world and I'd like to remove your toxicity so you can save yourself a fortune on "damage control" and bandaid solutions. If you're poisoned, you'll be busy "fixing" your allergies and leaky gut forever.
(P.S: I was bedridden and in a wheelchair. 80% of my symptoms improved after 6 months of dental amalgam removal. My life's biggest regret is waiting to remove the poison in my mouth. It cost me a fortune on damage control and incalculable life quality losses. Please don't make the same mistake. Let me pay it for you.)
If you're interested:
Leave me a comment below (No Facebook PM please.) and I'll contact you, or email me privately at http://www.gifteconomy.ca Locals preferred but will consider international.

After I confirm, if you can help save me time, please have your holistic dentist's office contact me for payment whenever you're ready. Show them this post, and give them my contact for payment. I can pay via credit card.
If this is the first time you hear about chronic low-dose mercury poisoning, then my friends, dentists, doctors, and health practitioners can share their experience.

Dental amalgams is still a controversial issue, just like GMO foods are today, or when cigarettes were recommended by physicians in the the 1950s.
I invite you to educate yourself on both sides of the issue.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, I am offering you to pay for its safe removal.
I wish you good health!
Brice
PS: If you're skeptical, please read this news article: "Unemployed man offers to pay a stranger's rent for a year." I have paid several people's rent since then, and I'd love to pay yours too.

Hello Vancity Interview: How our economy affects our health
"Brice, can you do this interview right now?" Alice Zhou for Hello Vancity, asked.
"Sure" I said, while eating.
So here's an impromptu in-depth interview I did recently with Alice Zhou for Hello Vancity.
We talked about: "What would cause a cancer patient to pay a stranger's rent for one year?" and "How our economy affects our health more than eating healthy and exercise?"
Enjoy.
