Health Canada poised to make natural products into drugs ...

To members and friends of Health Action Network Society;

Many of you will remember coming to the public forums which HANS sponsored in 1997 and 1998. During that time we provided you with a number of opinions about WHY Health Canada wants to re-classify natural products, one of them being for the convenience of large pharmaceutical companies to enter and exploit the territory of novel foods, or functional foods (ie., bread fortified with Vitamin C, so they can say that it will prevent colds).

So, what's happening now? The office of Natural Health Products has worked feverishly with all levels of industry and government to craft legislation which would pave the way for Big Pharma as Dr Michele Brill-Edwards puts it.

You can have a look at what Health Canada says by going to the Health Canada website:
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpfb-dgpsa/nhpd-dpsn/index_e.html.

Health Canada is inviting you, the public, our members, to say what you want to say about them re-classifying natural products as drugs. Health Canada says it's to our benefit. Do you agree or disagree?

Trueman Tuck of Freinds of Freedom says this is our last chance, and it's important for everyone to register and have their say. According to Trueman, "the reason its important to register for the legislative renewal process is that enough of us register, we can help ensure that the new legislation defines foods and drugs as per our federal private member"s bill C-420. This bill will make natural health products foods rather than drugs." The link listed below is for the online registration form.....Many thanks.......Your support will make a difference..... "

It's easy to register, as I did for HANS. Hope you will too.
Regards, Lorna
