Pharma Pushing to Criminalize Supplements
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to
outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in
Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements
to their children. The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the
Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes
sweeping changes to Canada's Food and Drugs Act that could have
devastating consequences on the health products industry.
Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key
terminology, including replacing the word "drug" with "therapeutic
product" throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government
broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins,
supplements and other items. With this single language change,
anything that is "therapeutic" automatically falls under the Food and
Drug Act. This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion
greens and essentially all plant-derived substances.
The Act also changes the definition of the word "sell" to include
anyone who gives such therapeutic products to someone else. So a
mother giving an herb to her child, under the proposed new language,
could be arrested for engaging in the sale of unregulated, unapproved
"therapeutic substances." Learn about more of these freedom-squashing
