Charter of Health Freedom Gaining Ground

Rallies in Penticton drew supporters

Health enthusiasts from the Penticton area met weekly to draw attention to the newly introduced Charter of Health Freedom.  Full details are available on the Charter of Health Freedom website.    

As taken from the Charter website: 'The Charter of Health Freedom is proposed legislation that gives Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines their own Act..

The Charter protects our access to Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines by creating separate legal category for them.  Rather than being deemed as dangerous drugs under the Food and Drugs Act, under the Charter Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines are deemed to be safe, as they are in the United States

The Charter of Health Freedom offers an appropriate, healthy, beneficial, safe and well-rooted change for regulating the natural health community.  Canadians are protected by permitting unsafe products to be removed while at the same time ensuring that safe and effective treatments remain available.'

This is a first of a kind initiative, which has become a model for other countries to consider.  At HANS, we are asked if people can sign this petition, and we say 'Absolutely!  It's so easy.'  Just go to www.charterofhealthfreedom.org and download the petition form, print it, circulate it for additional signatures, and send it to the address on the form.
