That's horrible. They've been trying to do similar things in the US. I hope you defeat this effort in Canada. It's just terrible to take away health products and then tell people it's being done for their health. My masters is in nutrition and I'm deeply involved in herbalism. I use supplements for my own health and for my clients' health. It would be devastating to lose access. One of the reasons why I am studying herbalism is because it is still possible for us to make our own medicine. We have so many medicines growing as weeds in our own yards. If we were cherished, our governments would promote natural health. But, we are only seen as consumers and slaves by the people who are making the rules. We must not comply.
Great response Brenda thank you! What Health Canada and the Liberal government are doing is wild! Under their new Self Care Framework the industry will also lose the right to rely on traditional-use evidence to license products. For example, it will no longer be acceptable to claim on a product label that “ginger is traditionally used to treat nausea”, all of this leading to more lost products and fewer options for the shelves for you and your family.

Insanity.
I've heard about some of this from the Herbal Jedi on YouTube. Keep fighting!
