& Natural Health Products

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
~ Margaret Mead

Why are vitamins, minerals & other dietary supplements under attack? Why does the government want to regulate supplements as a "drug"? Supplements can be beneficial to fill specific nutrient gaps, address particular health concerns, or optimize the body's function in some way.

New Govt fees could wipe out 70% of our Canadian natural health products like protein powder, vitamins, probiotics, and many other supplements. I'm fighting back with Bill C-368, aimed at preserving your health choices and keeping products affordable and accessible.

According to the Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA), Health Canada wants to:

limit the uses of natural products;
take away the right to rely on the traditional use of products to get permission to sell them; and
fully impose the chemical drug regulations on Natural Health Products.

These three changes will fully destroy the Natural Health Product (NHP) community. Most of the effective products will disappear.

We will lose our natural health care practitioners such as Naturopathic Doctors, Traditional Chinese Doctors, Homeopathic Doctors, Herbalists, Nutritionists, etc. These practitioners will go out of business because they will lose the natural remedies they use to help us.

Why are we losing our Natural Health Products?

Health Canada is implementing what they call the Self-Care Framework. When fully implemented most of our natural health products will be gone. The natural health practitioners we rely on will also be gone. Health Canada will be responsible for people losing their livelihoods and, their lives.

In the meantime prices are going to skyrocket.

We need your help to stop Health Canada.

The summary below gives you a bird's eye view of the problem.

Read this Discussion Paper for an in depth look at what we face.

How are the Natural Products we rely on being taken away?

There are some immediate Health Canada initiatives we need to stop.

Health Canada is imposing new fees on natural health businesses that will drive many small and medium sized ones out of business. Their products will be gone.

Health Canada is also imposing stricter regulations on natural products that will be costly for natural health companies to comply with. This will also drive natural health companies out of business. Their products will be gone.

For the products that survive this, the prices will increase because the producers will have to pass on their increased costs. This takes the remaining products away from the poor and disadvantaged who cannot afford the higher prices.

The new fees collected by Health Canada will be used to create a new enforcement arm to impose the stricter regulations and to censor truthful health information. Producers and practitioners will no longer be able to publicly share truthful information about natural products. If you cannot be told a natural product can help you, the product might as well not exist.

If you and your family cannot be told the truth, you cannot make crucial health decisions.

Huge new fines to cripple and destroy the natural health community are being imposed. $5,000,000 a day fines that Health Canada told us were only appropriate for the big pharmaceutical companies have just been imposed on the natural health community. Your local health food store cannot survive a $5,000,000 fine. Your health practitioner, such as a naturopathic doctor cannot survive a $5,000,000 fine. These huge fines are not meant to punish, they are meant to destroy.

Why is this a problem?

Many Canadians are only alive today because of natural health products. Many more only enjoy quality of life because they manage serious health conditions with natural health products. It is reckless and dangerous to take these products away.

And we should have a choice. We should have the freedom to choose natural products. But Health Canada is telling us we need to lose this freedom because natural health products are so "risky". This is a lie. You are fourteen times more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a natural health product.

None of us would give up a single freedom to be protected from lightning and yet lightning is more dangerous to us than all the natural health products on the market.

We need protection from Health Canada, not from natural products.

Natural Health Products include products like vitamins, minerals, probiotics, herbals, traditional and homeopathic medicines and certain topical products like toothpaste and sunscreen. Tell the Minister of Health to reset his priorities, pause on these changes and listen to what Canadians and Canadian businesses are saying about this issue.

Conservatives announce legislation to remove Liberal regulations on Natural Health Products (NHPs)

"In September 2023, all households in Calgary Midnapore received a mailer from Stephanie Kusie MP outlining the Liberal plan to essentially ban NHPs from the shelves in Canada and asking for their feedback. The results were extremely clear and over 80% of respondents agreed with the Conservative opposition to these new regulations."

CBC: New rules for natural health products will increase costs, reduce choice, Edmonton critics warn

"New regulations for natural health products (NHPs) will mean increased costs and decreased choice for Canadians, Edmonton critics say. Many health practitioners, business owners, consumers and Conservative MPs say the new rules, which extend Health Canada's authority over NHPs, are an attack on personal freedom, and will put more pressure on Canada's health-care system."

Medical Freedom Continues

"The good news is that together, we can stop Health Canada. Restricting our access to natural remedies is an issue the majority of Canadians get excited about. We get excited because we rely on them. Over 70% of Canadians regularly take natural remedies. The last two times Health Canada tried to restrict access to natural remedies we rebelled. In both 1997-98 and 2008, the citizen rebellions were so large that Health Canada had to back down. We need to do even more this time."
