Natural health products are now an endangered species in danger of becoming extinct.
The Canadian goverment are a bunch of hypocrites. They are attempting to pass Bill C-51, which deals with outlawing all natural health products in favor of expensive, painful drug and medical treatments that can sometimes do more harm than good for people.
Bill C-51 is unconstitutional and MUST be stopped. The second reading of the bill, which was scheduled to happen on April 28, was postponed because of public unity and outcries of protest.
Following the first protest rally on May 8 in Lethbridge, Rick Casson, the MP for the Lethbridge Constituency, released a written statement, in conjunction with the federal government, in response.
The statement accused citizens of not only misunderstanding the government's intentions, but also of having inaccurate information about the bill.
On May 9, there was another protest rally in Calgary, right in front of the Federal Courthouse of Canada, which was attended by hundreds of people all over Southern Alberta. Rallies are continuing all across Canada, so it is best to get involved quickly.
Following the rally, there was a hearing between Truehope and Health Canada. The points to be discussed at the trial were outlined and cemented at the hearing. The date of said hearing is currently unknown.
Truehope is a company in Raymond which sells a natural health care product called "Empowerplus", which is manufactured in Utah. Empowerplus is used to effectively treat severe mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder.
The hearing was the first step in Truehope's action of seeking an injunction against Health Canada to stop further seizures of their products at the border.
Back on July 15, 2003, the RCMP and Health Canada conducted a raid on the Raymond location. Prior to the raid, Truehope had been receiving orders to cease and desist from selling a drug.
If this bill were made into law, people who suffer from severe mental illnesses would probably be forced on medicinal alternatives, be institutionalized, or commit suicide.
Natural products, such as Empowerplus, allow people to lead normal lives. If that were taken away, lives would suffer and likely disappear.
Even something as simple as vitamins would be illegal and people would not be as healthy.
The government, by way of Mr. Casson, kindly suggests that people should re-read the contents of the bill for a more accurate understanding of their intentions with Bill C-51.
There is NO time to sit around and listen to the government and their lapdog MP's justify breaking the Constitution!
By the time people really decide to take a firm stand for freedom and personal liberties, it will be too late and the bill will be law.
Constitutional freedom to heal ourselves and others with natural solutions instead of relying on medicine is in danger of being ripped away by the totalitarian methods of the government and the greed of companies who produce medicinal solutions.
Now is the time to act to preserve out liberty and freedoms to naturally mantain our health.

If the government manages to get Bill C-51 passed into law, what other unconstitutional acts will they try and commit next?
The Constitution of Canada is beginning to be destroyed, piece by piece, by the government who created it…
Where will it end?

If you are got your information about Bill C-51 from the old StopC51 website, then you may wish to find a more accurate, less ideological site in the future. StopC51 is really just a cover for Truehope.
Bill C-51 contained no provisions to outlaw natural health products (NHPs). Since 2004, NHPs have been regulated by the Natural Health Product Regulations, which C-51 did not attempt to rescind or amend. C-51 merely sought to enhance the enforcement provisions that already exist in the Food and Drugs Act to ensure the safety and quality of food, drugs, NHPs, cosmetics and medical devices.
Health Canada did take Truehope to court (although did a poor job of it) for selling Empowerplus and claiming that it could cure bipolar disorder. There is no credible medical evidence that vitamins and supplements can cure bipolar disorder. If there were, then I would be able to find credible scientific journal articles on PubMed that describe the finding and related studies.
If people believe that NHPs can cure bipolar disorder, then they are free to conduct the appropriate clinical trials to show evidence for it before selling it and making that claim. If supplement companies are allowed to make any health claims that they want without proof, then some patients may dangerously foresake real medical treatment in favour of quackery.
