Vitamin C Is About To Be Made Illegal In Canada! Nutritional Supplements Banned In Canada! Bill C-51
So you want to take Vitamin C, how about if it was illegal to take that vitamin C, what if it was so illegal that you could be thrown in jail for up to 2 years and fined up to $5,000,000! Sounds like fiction doesn't it?
Well it's about to become reality unless people become aware of what is going on. The Canadian Government is trying to pass a bill known as Bill C51. This bill has already passed its second reading and it is flying under the radar, it is very close to becoming law and some powers that be DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW! This bill would give entire control of supplements over to drug companies by only allowing MDs to "Prescribe" them as they see fit. Of course we know here in this country the government controls the doctors and the pharmaceutical companies tell the government what laws they want inorder to make more profit. What this means is that if you want to take a multivitamin or some Omega-3, you have to book an appointment with your doctor, go in and try to convince your doctor that you are in need of these supplements. If you doctor doesn't approve or better yet decides a certain drug would be better off for you then you unfortunately won't have access to your supplements anymore.
On top of this the entire natural supplement industry will collapse on itself, thousands of jobs will be lost and even more stress will be placed on our already crumbing over-stressed medical system. Imagine waiting over a month to get in to see your MD just to request if you can take some oregano oil for a cold that has now come and past, only to have your request denied anyway.
The irony of all this is that MDs who are NOT trained in the use of herbs and supplements for the most part will have full control over what you can and CANNOT TAKE. To summarize:
- No More Supplement Stores!
- Supplements are made illegal unless obtained through a prescription and 70% of all current supplements on the market will be removed!
- Prices for obtainable supplements will be higher than they are currently due to the monopolization, and being made into prescriptions!
- Restrict research and development of safe natural alternatives in favor of high risk drugs!
- Punish Canadians with little or no opportunity for protection or recourse for simply speaking about or giving a natural product without the approval of government!
- Fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or seek 2 years in jail per incident of being caught breaking any of these newly implemented laws. This includes USING OR SELLING SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT APPROVAL!
- YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE REGARDING YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE OF SUPPLEMENTS and NATURAL MEDICINE IN CANADA!
No More Vitamin C, No More Omega-3, No More Oregano Oil, No More Natural Multivitamins, No more natural sleep aids, NO MORE HERBS, VITAMINS, MINERALS. No more choice in what YOU want to do for YOUR HEALTH!
It has been said that these kinds of actions were the first things to happen before the NAZIs gained power. Even if you aren't interested in taking supplements yourself, you should realize that these kinds of actions are leading our society away from democracy and into some kind of dictatorship run government where people are losing their personal power and allowing the government to do anything they want.
Some rumors surrounding bill C-51 is that it is being pushed ahead by pharmaceutical company funding that want complete control of the supplement market by making them prescription only. It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! They're VERY interested in you taking supplements, because if you do odds are less likely you'll need THEIR DRUGS. On top of this rumor has it that the Canadian minister of health himself has very large investments in pharmaceutical companies, further backing Bill C-51 so he himself can profit from it! The worst part is he is going out and telling the ill informed that it is in their best interests. People out there need to know the truth!
What can you do?
Let people know, the best thing you can do is spread the word about this issue. When major media begin to take this seriously and cover the story more, then we can prevent these very negative changes. Start a petition or sign one of the current ones going around. This is really happening people and if we don't try to stop it now we'll be paying for it in the years to come.
Help STOP BILL C-51 before it passes. ITS NOT TOO LATE! This is a very scary reality that would allow pharmaceutical drug companies complete control over the Canadian Health System. It will be the end of the entire natural health industry, and the end of peoples choice in how they want to take care of their own health!

Preserve your rights to use natural medicine!

Perhaps I'm being a bit stupid here but where does it say in the bill that Vitamin C and other nutritional supplements are to be banned? As far as I can see, the crux of this legislation is to stop poor quality or dangerous supplements entering the market. This is about the regulation of products, not the banning of them and the law enforcement issues relate to those who fail to cooperate with the new standards.
One could argue that this is to give greater power to the main pharmaceutical groups who no doubt have the resources to comply with or manipulate the rules without fear of reprisal. On the other hand, it could be that stopc51 is a lobby group on behalf of those nutritional food suppliers who at present are not able to or won't meet the stringent demands of the Canadian food agency - Chinese exporters for instance. If it protects people's health then I see nothing wrong with it. Tony's point about aspartame is quite valid though |

James - they want to ban ALL supplements.
They lost in Europe and the US in court cases.
They will try again.
Canada at the moment is a more under the thumb country so it is the next battleground.
I have stockpiled two years supply of supplements. _________________

They want to see nothing therapeutic in the outlay. At most the RDA so you'd have to gulp whole bottles of Vit C daily to get a therapeutic dose
I take 4 or 5 grams daily which is in line with my decades
That's where the action is
They are destroying our food supplies whilst denying us the ability for corrective action _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction |
