Canada's C-51 Law May Outlaw 60% of Natural Health

Products;

Big Pharma Pushing to Criminalize Supplements

by Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big

Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 60 percent of natural

health products currently sold in Canada,

even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or

supplements to their children.

 

The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the Canadian

Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes

sweeping changes to Canada's Food and Drugs Act that

could have devastating consequences on the health

products industry.

 

Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical

alterations to key terminology, including replacing

the word " drug " with " therapeutic product " throughout

the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government

broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all

herbs, vitamins, supplements and other items.

With this single language change, anything that is

" therapeutic " automatically falls under the Food and

Drug Act. This would include bottled water,

blueberries, dandelion greens and essentially all

plant-derived substances.

 

The Act also changes the definition of the word " sell "

to include anyone who gives such therapeutic products

to someone else.

So a mother giving an herb to her child, under the

proposed new language, could be arrested for engaging

in the sale of unregulated, unapproved " therapeutic

substances. " Learn about more of these

New enforcement powers allow Canadian government to

seize your home or business

 

At the same time that C-51 is outlawing herbs,

supplements and vitamins, it would grant alarming new

" enforcement " powers to the thugs enforcement agents

who claim to be " protecting " the public from dangerous

unapproved " therapeutic agents " like, say, dandelion

greens.

As explained on the www.Educate-Yourself.org website

((http://educate-yourself.org/cn/canadian...), the

C-51 law would allow the Canadian government's thugs

enforcement agents to:

 

• Raid your home or business without a warrant

• Seize your bank accounts

• Levy fines up to $5 million and a jail terms up to 2

years for merely selling an herb

• Confiscate your property, then charge you storage

fees for the expense involved in storing all the

products they stole from you

 

C-51 would even criminalize the simple drying of herbs

in your kitchen to be used in an herbal product, by

the way.

That would now be categorized as a " controlled

activity, " and anyone caught engaging in such

" controlled activities " would be arrested, fined and

potentially jailed.

Other " controlled activities " include labeling

bottles, harvesting plants on a farm, collecting herbs

from your back yard, or even testing herbal products

on yourself! (Yes, virtually every activity involving

herbs or supplements would be criminalized...)

 

There's more, too. C-51 is the Canadian government's

" final solution " for the health products industry.

 

It's a desperate effort to destroy this industry

that's threatening the profits and viability of

conventional medicine.

Natural medicine works so well -- and is becoming so

widely used -- that both the Canadian and American

governments have decided to " nuke " the industries by

passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone

selling such products.

They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to

have continued access to natural products.

To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big

Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and

criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these

criminally-operated governments are trying to protect.
