As of today, at 5 years and counting, Health Canada has taken 30,000 Natural Health Products (NHPs) off Canadian store shelves and the disappearing act is about to rapidly increase.....

Since 2004, the Natural Health Product Regulations have reduced the number of NHPs (Natural Health Products) that Canadians can purchase domestically from 70,000+ to less than 40,000. Of these, only approximately 10,000 have been licensed, most being single ingredient products.....

Given their ultra low relative risk, Health Canada's wildly exaggerated level of regulatory concern over their NHPs indicates that the regulations are simply a witch hunt. Their true intentions are to dramatically downsize the Canadian NHP market and effective alternatives to pharmaceuticals. This makes perfect sense given the upcoming free trade deal between Canada and the European Union, (i.e. the purveyors of the CODEX treaty, and home to many mammoth pharmaceutical companies), and Health Canada's preoccupation with ``fulfilling their international obligations''.....

The licensing deadline for NHPs is early 2010. It will then become a criminal offense to sell a product without its NHP#, despite the fact that according to Canadian Poison Control statistics, there have never been any Canadian deaths attributed to NHPs....

New enforcement powers allow Canadian government to seize your home or business

The C-6 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-6 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...)
