Bill C-51, Codex And The SPP

Posted on Friday, June 20 at 08:16 by NAUWATCH

On April 8, 2008, Canada’s Health Minister introduced Bill C-51 which proposed sweeping changes to the Food and Drugs Act. The Canadian government has since been forced to make amendments because of intense grassroots pressure. There are fears that this Bill could lead to some vitamins, herbs, minerals, and dietary supplements no longer being available in the country. Through the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), Canada , the U.S. , and Mexico are already busy harmonizing food and drug regulations into a North American Union structure. Some have suggested that this Bill would also bring Canadian law into compliance with the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Bill C-51 has the potential to take away the rights of people to freely choose natural medicine as an alternative to expensive drug-based products and treatments.

    Never heard of anybody becoming sick, or getting killed by natural health products and supplements, but there are recalls etc. in the news every week of people being crippled and killed by pharma drugs. It is estimated that in Canada 9,000 people are killed by prescription drugs , and in the USA 100,000, every year, which means that the real number is at least double.

    I can well remember some of the problems my wife had years ago, almost killed a couple of times, once by codein prescribed by a dentist, that's why we're now on homeopathics, healthy and happy . And, according to our providers, the number is growing every year, with people becoming fed up with pill pushers.

    This is why the Harper gang is jumping on the orders of their owners.

    There is a LOT more to this Bill than healthy lifestyles. Go take a good look at it. If I were in office I would go go to an election on the bill. It is a dastardly little piece of tripe.
