AUGH, I thought with the instability of the government, this garbage over natural health products would end, but nope....
Apparently, the bill has been renamed to "Bill C-6" and has got the same purpose, to make selling natural health products illegal.
Seriously, this is CRAP. Who in their right mind would want to stuff processed drugs into people's systems that will only make them sicker, over the natural supplements that are actually beneficial to the body?
I mean, Health Canada is SUPPOSED to care about helping people and instead, all they care about is what money they lose when people opt to go for the natural way of improving their health.
This comes from an official site:
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/legislation/acts-lois/bill_c6-loi-eng.php
"Bill C-6, also known as the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), is proposed legislation that will help keep Canadian families safe from dangerous consumer products.
Bill C-6 was introduced by the Government of Canada on January 29, 2009. The proposed Canada Consumer Product Safety Act would replace Part I of the Hazardous Products Act and introduce a new regulatory regime. The purpose is to modernize and strengthen product safety laws by overhauling existing rules to further protect the health and safety of Canadians. It will continue to introduce necessary, concrete measures to make consumer products safer for Canadians and their children by prohibiting the manufacture and importation of unsafe products. Additionally, it will give the government the power to order recalls of unsafe products."
I understand the worry over lead in toys...but referring to natural health products as hazardous is going too FAR.
It is natural that those products would be included in the definition of hazardous, as this bill was originally named Bill C-51, and only the government's inability to productive operate internally, which they still have issues with, stopped the bill from being made into concrete law.
I was reading over the bill and it is very ridiculous. I mean, they are talking about outlawing the things that are best for our bodies!
(you can find the bill in PDF format at billC6.com)
"It creates prohibitions with respect to the manufacturing, importing, selling, advertising, packaging and labelling of consumer products, including those that are a danger to human health or safety. In addition, it establishes certain measures that will make it easier to identify whether a consumer product is a danger to human health or safety and, if so, to more effectively prevent or address the danger. It also creates application and enforcement mechanisms."
So, what this is saying is that Vitamin-C and herbal remedies are dangerous?!
I have never heard such a ridiculous statement in all my life! What is truly dangerous is that processed crap that doctors prescribe to "help" people get over ailments that costs them money that they don't have, thanks to the poor job market and economy issues that we face today!
Natural health products work better and cause less suffering to people who can't improve their health any further, and they are helping those that can IMMENSELY.
Isn't the Hippocratic Oath "Do no harm?" If doctors truly swore by that oath, they would be trying to help their patients save both money and their health at the same time...
By outlawing the natural supplements, the government is basically saying "We are taking this option away from you, we don't CARE about whether you suffer in health or loss of money, get your chemically processed medicines from wherever WE TELL YOU TO."
Hmm....that sounds like borderline dictatorship to me, I thought this was a democracy....I don't know WHAT the government is anymore...
By prescribing this crap that nobody can afford, doctors are NOT helping patients improve their health, they are basically saying that they don't care if the medication is too expensive, it's the only option they've got...
It doesn't have to be this way, but time is running out to make your protests known about this. http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Sites/LOP/LEGISINFO/index.asp?Language=E&query=5655&Session=22&List=stat says that the bill has ALREADY gone through the House of Commons and is on the verge of the Second Reading by the Senate, so if you have protests, ACT NOW!
Voice your protests now or forever hold your peace and watch as the government takes away the safe option to overall human healing....
If you are a lover and relier upon natural supplements and want to join the protest agains the government, or would like more information so that you can form your own opinion, visit:

Don't stay neutral in this matter if you use natural health products to help yourselves or others heal in anyway....Silence leads to tyrrany.
Speak up, let your voice be heard.
Save natural products, keep them from being made illegal....

Bill C-6 has nothing to do with natural health products (NHPs). They are explicitly excluded by paragraph 4.(1) and Schedule 1 of the Bill.
C-6 is part of Health Canada's Food and Consumer Safety Action Plan. Its part is to cover consumer products not already regulated for safety. As a result, the bill excludes such products as explosives, pest control products, fertilizers, motor vehicles, maritime vessels, aircraft, weapons, ammunition, controlled products, seeds, animals, food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and of course NHPs.
