Protect Your Constitutional Rights
An Important Notice Regarding Bill C-51
On April 8, 2008, the Minister of Health in Canada introduced Bill C-51 into
the House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the current
Food and Drugs Act that would remove critical checks and balances from Health
Canada and endanger your Constitutional rights to “life, liberty, and security
of person” (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section 7).
Without immediate action from concerned citizens like you, this Bill will soon
be law in Canada.
Consider How Bill C-51 Would Affect You
Many natural health products that have been sold in Canada for decades would
become unavailable, and remaining products would cost much more (Sections 13 &
18.7);
The government could designate any natural health product a prescription drug,
making it available by prescription only (Section 15.1(4));
You could be fined thousands of dollars or go to jail for giving your child or
friend a natural health product (Sections 31 & 3(3) – expanded definition
of “sell”);
Researchers would lose academic freedom: they could not study the beneficial
effects of natural health products without first getting the government’s
permission (Sections 3(6) & 18.2);
International laws that restrict access to natural health products could be
made law in Canada without the approval of elected officials or any debate in
the House of Commons (Sections 3(6) & 30(7));
To enforce this new law, inspectors could enter private property and (Section
23):
take anything at their discretion;
never pay the owner for it;
charge the owner of the property a fee for shipping it to a secure storage
unit;
charge the owner of the property fees for keeping it in storage;
keep it in storage as long as they want; and/or
dispose of it at will.
Health Canada Needs Checks and Balances
Acting under current laws, Health Canada has already endangered Canadians’
lives by seizing their natural health products. In 2003, Health Canada seized
personal shipments of EMPowerplus, a vitamin-mineral supplement that hundreds
of Canadians with bipolar disorder and other serious mood disorders depended on
for mental wellness, and ordered Truehope Nutritional Support Ltd. to stop
selling the supplement in Canada. Fearing for the safety of Canadians who were
using EMPowerplus, Truehope disobeyed Health Canada’s orders and was charged
with selling an illegal drug.
Fortunately, in this case, Health Canada was unsuccessful in removing
EMPowerplus from the market. In 2006, Truehope was found not guilty. The court
ruled that Truehope was “overwhelmingly compelled to disobey…in order to
protect the health, safety and well-being of the users of the supplement”, and
Health Canada dropped its appeal of this case in October 2006. (Learn more

However, Bill C-51 would make it easier for Health Canada to seize natural
health products like EMPowerplus in the future and remove them from the market,
violating your Constitutional rights to “life, liberty, and security of person.”

Re: Bill C-51 & the End to Natural Suppliments
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 9:17 PMwww.naturalnews.com/023121.html
(NaturalNews) A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children. The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes sweeping changes to Canada's Food and Drugs Act that could have devastating consequences on the health products industry.
Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key terminology, including replacing the word "drug" with "therapeutic product" throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins, supplements and other items. With this single language change, anything that is "therapeutic" automatically falls under the Food and Drug Act. This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion greens and essentially all plant-derived substances.
The Act also changes the definition of the word "sell" to include anyone who gives such therapeutic products to someone else. So a mother giving an herb to her child, under the proposed new language, could be arrested for engaging in the sale of unregulated, unapproved "therapeutic substances." Learn about more of these freedom-squashing changes to the law at the Stop51.com website: www.stopc51.com
New enforcement powers allow Canadian government to seize your home or business
At the same time that C-51 is outlawing herbs, supplements and vitamins, it would grant alarming new "enforcement" powers to the thugs enforcement agents who claim to be "protecting" the public from dangerous unapproved "therapeutic agents" like, say, dandelion greens. As explained on the www.Educate-Yourself.org website ((educate-yourself.org/cn/canadian...), the C-51 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-51 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...)
There's more, too. C-51 is the Canadian government's "final solution" for the health products industry. It's a desperate effort to destroy this industry that's threatening the profits and viability of conventional medicine. Natural medicine works so well -- and is becoming so widely used -- that both the Canadian and American governments have decided to "nuke" the industries by passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone selling such products. They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to have continued access to natural products. To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect.
Join the rally to protest C-51
On May 9th, 2008, Canadian citizens will be gathering at the Calgary Federal Court to protest C-51 and help protect their access to natural health products. Call 1-888-878-3467 to learn more, or visit the action page of Health Canada Exposed at: www.stopc51.com/c51/what_you_can_do.asp
NaturalNews is looking to hire someone with a good video camera to film the event. We'll gladly pay you to video tape this and send us the resulting file, which we will edit and then post for NaturalNews readers. If you have a video camera (with good audio, hopefully) and can attend the May 9th rally, please contact us at (U.S.) 520-232-9300 for details. If you do film there, be sure to use the camera buddy system, where you have somebody in the distance filming YOU with the camera, so that if Canadian law enforcement thugs decide to assault you and steal your video camera in order to censor the event, then somebody else in the distance has THAT on video! You got that? So there are two cameras working, camera A is filming the rally, and it's very close to the action. Camera B is set back farther from the scene, and it's filming the person holding camera A. This is standard operating practice for filming such events, and it makes it very difficult for government thugs to shut down the video. Often, the person filming with camera B is in a car somewhere, or filming covertly so that they don't attract attention. Zoom lenses help a lot.
In any case, if you manage to get some video of this event, then we'd be thrilled to share it with NaturalNews readers. And like I said, we'll pay for footage, so call us for details. Together, we can help spread the word about this important rally for health freedom in Canada.
