Gah! This bill worries me to no end! Do you really think they'll get it through, though? Almost everyone I know has already heard of it, and there's newspaper columns dedicated to this, etc. etc. Our health food store asked us to call our MP and protest, which I have already done. My homeopathic doctor has a sign on her door, proclaiming a rally by the Manitoba legislature on the 8th. I think that there are enough Canadians that are rising up against this- it would be stupid of the government to push it through, wouldn't it? Honestly, we're one of the most health conscious countries in the world, and so many of us use/depend on natural products for our health. I despise the huge pharmaceutical companies and the sway they hold over the people. I'm a little angry- my health has been completely ruined by the birth control pill and antibiotics- it's been almost a year of concentrated efforts (and much money) to get my health back to the way it should be.

Unfortunately I think the bill is going to pass. It makes me upset to even think about it. :( Evidence, outrage, and fight from the thousands who have benefitted from NHPs don't seem to be even taken into consideration by the government. They are behind the pharmaceutical companies(don't get me going on about Tony Clements having a 25% stake in a pharmaceutical company when he became Health Minister) and they have their best interests in mind.
I've talked to my Naturopath Doctor a couple times and she more or less said it is over for the NHPs. I've finally found herbs/supplements that have pretty much eliminated my pain and the government would rather you on a drug approved by them regardless of whether it has negative affects on your body. I read that 89% of NHPs are not regulated. The issue is NOT about health but rather policy, regulation, keeping big pharma on their side, and turning citizens into criminals. My ND said we are going the way of Germany where you need a prescription for pretty much anything.
