Our Natural Health Choices at Risk!
Surfing around the web this week I was thinking a lot about alternative health choices in the U.S. and I found an interesting article that talked about that very thing being at risk in Canada. It was rather informative and made me realize how if it’s happening there it can happen here and is worthy of attention. I’ve pasted this article below for you to check out yourself.

Alternative Medicine – Government against it?
Seems like no one wants to answer my previous question…
Canadians, what is your view on the new proposed bill C-51?
Here is the link to the proposed bill:
http://www2.parl.gc.ca/housepublica…
What this is bill is suggesting is to outlaw 60% of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children.
This may include blueberries and dandelion greens. Even drying natural herbs in your kitchen could be considered a criminal offense.
From the research I have done, this is being backed up by Big Pharma. Some say that natural and holistic use for treating illness is getting so popular, that some of the pharmaceutical corporations are pushing the government to step in, thus this bill.
Here is the link to a site against the bill: http://www.stopc51.com/
Do you suffer from eczema? I believe there is a natural or alternative solution for just about all health conditions, and a natural treatment for eczema is no different. Is there an eczema treatment, natural treatment, that will moderate eczema’s symptoms? The answer is “Yes.” Check out Beat Eczema.

Here in the U.S. nearly every politician is taking money from the pharmaceutical industries and the insurance companies.
People just keep getting sicker, and they take more drugs, and get sicker, and take different drugs. This cycle of stupidity is killing people, yet natural health practitioners, like chiropractors, are under constant attack.
I hope it doesn't pass- we keep talking about moving to Vancouver!

If they can't class it as a drug in the USA the FDA can't control it and then outlaw it, The big drug companies are making $billions all ready in profits and want to make even more by forcing the people to buy their man made pills.
Doctors are trained to push pills and ignore natural medicine so people wont get well and they can keep the patients coming back for more pills . Have you seen a MD actually cure someone lately ?
The drug companies finance the medical schools so they dictate to push the pills and that is how the doctors are trained.
That is why the government wants to regulate and out law natural medicine. The Drug lobys pay big bucks to the government.
