Q. Why is it necessary for Empowerplus to be regulated as a drug, if

the ingredients are " natural " ?

A. Being " natural " , does not preclude an ingredient from being a

drug. Products are drugs because of their representations, their

ingredients and their recommended conditions of use. If a product is

being sold and represented to treat, mitigate or prevent a disease,

disorder or abnormal physical state, then it is a " drug " as defined

in the Food and Drugs Act. Empowerplus contains vitamins and

minerals which in themselves are drugs in dosage form. It also

contains other ingredients such as phenylalanine, boron, germanium

and folic acid which are regulated as drugs in Canada.

The above demonstrates the real intent of Health Canada to regulate

any effective natural product to a drug regardless of how innocuous

the product maybe. Thus forcing us to use a very profitable and

possibility toxic and infective drug alternative. The poor track

record on injury from drugs under the supervision of a doctor (as

they like to bandy that around) is far worse than many safe

alternatives does not seem to be of much concern. Obviously, once an

effective natural product has been classified as a drug, no one will

spend the time and money for clinical trials, as in many case these

safe alternatives will actually cure the disease and will not

provide for long term disease management opportunity that the more

expensive 'suppress the symptom' most drugs provide. A drug

classification on the surface may look good to the unsuspecting but

it will effectively remove all useful and generally natural products

from the market in the long term. QED.

The world wide efforts by big pharma to control our health options

should now be obvious... It has now become essential to understand

the situation and take action before its too late.

 

Remember most diseases are due to some nutritional deficiency and as

such in the long run drugs simply can not compete with truth - hence

we and the pharmas have a fight for both our lives
