Words of Interest from Donna Roth
From
Shek: You're the person with the most success of anyone I know so I would
like her to consult with you.
From Gabriela
Hi Donna
Just wanted to give you an encouraging update about another
friend who I’m encouraged to do Kidney flushes. About 7 years ago she got
diagnosed with a cyst on her left Kidney. The size of the cyst continues to
grow and as of January these years grew to a size of a small orange. The Nephrologist
recommended to drain the cyst. After the procedure he recommended to prescribe
her medication since test reveals that both Kidneys are working only 22%. She
said no to the meds but was not sure what to do. At this time I told her about
Kidney flush and encouraged her to give it a try. First she was reluctant but 2
days later she agreed to it. She took only 2K, with alternating lemon water and
chlorophyll. I encouraged her to do it twice a week. She started in Mai and
never missed a week. On June 28th she went to see the Nephrologist again and
guess what. Her Kidney function improved from 22% to 39%. 17% of improvement
only after 6 weeks....Yahoo! I was so happy to hear that.
From Dr. Mercola
From breast
cancers to blood, and bone marrow to gastrointestinal, and reproductive organ
tumors, early-onset cancers have become nearly epidemic in younger age groups:
a whopping 30% for myelomas alone, and 45% for colorectal cancers.
In the
adolescent and young adult ages spanning 15 to 39, the rates have gone up 20%.
And the worst part of all is that experts can’t seem to pinpoint why.

Letter to MP Dear Member
of Parliament, Tracy Gray,
Please appreciate that not
all of this letter was not written by me, but I am sending it to give you an
overview of my concerns
and a clear picture of the threat to our health products before my scheduled
visit with you on July
20/23 at 3:30 pm. I want you to become aware of the Budget Bill changes and how
Vanessa’s Law was
applied to natural products (Bill C-47 sections 500-504)
I will be sharing with
you the impact health products have had on the hundreds of people I personally
know who have decided
to take action for their own health by eating the right foods and taking
natural
health products. A
young woman living in the Kelowna area was diagnosed with breast cancer and told
that she will never
have children. She overcame her breast cancer using natural products because
the
medical system had
nothing more to offer her. Today and 12 years later she is a healthy mother of
2
young boys. I will show
you, her picture. You will be blown away.
You are my Member of
Parliament and as a Member of Parliament, you have a duty to protect all
Canadians. The most
fundamental right and issue for Canadians is for us to decide what to do with
our
own bodies. I am
expecting you to respond with the progress you are making on the five items
below.
So that I am clear, I
am asking you to protect your family and my family by:
1.
Getting sections 500-504 of Bill C-47 repealed.
2. Stopping cost recovery on natural health product businesses.
3. Getting the Charter of Health Freedom enacted.
4. Stopping the Self-Care Framework, and
5. De-regulating natural health products.
I am sharing your response with hundreds of
other Citizens that will be showing me responses from
their MPs. If you
respond to me with pre-written Health Canada talking points, I will know you
are not.
working for me.
The Food and Drugs Act
defines “drug” so broadly that it includes everything used for a therapeutic
purpose. The Act also
makes it illegal to sell any drug without prior Health Canada permission in the
form of a license. Would
you agree if I recommend Parsley for your kidney then it is deemed as used
for therapeutic purposes
and now that is illegal and now I may be subjected to huge fines and a criminal
charge?
The legal reality is that now only Health Canada can
grant permission for what natural products can be
used. So, Parliament
has created this reality where the only
treatments Canadians are allowed to
access are determined
by Health Canada bureaucrats and not by Canadians themselves.
This legal structure makes
sense for chemical drugs which carry a very high-risk profile, and which cause
a large number of
deaths a year but does not make sense for natural health products which are so
safe
and effective that the
real danger to Canadians is Health Canada restricting them.
You would not be
willing to give up a single freedom to be protected from lightning strikes. And
neither
am I. We are 14 times
more likely to be killed by lightning than to be killed by a natural health
product.
Fourteen times!
Lightening is so much more dangerous to us than the whole natural health
product
industry that it is not
even fair to compare the risks of the two.
So, if you and I would
not give up any freedom to be protected from lightning, why are we giving up
our
freedom to access
natural health products in the name of safety? When Health Canada tells you and
I
that we need ever
stricter regulation of natural health products to protect us from harm it is so
far from
the truth that it can
only be called what it is, a lie.
To make the lie of harm
sound convincing, Health Canada never balances the alleged “risk” against the
benefits of natural
health products. This is shameful. A large number of Canadians are only alive
today
because of natural
health products. A large number of Canadians have quality of life because they
successfully manage
serious health conditions with natural health products. This is why natural
products
and natural health
practitioners are so popular.
It is wrong for you to
be allowing Health Canada bureaucrats to restrict natural health products by
regulating them with
chemical-drug-style regulations that are becoming stricter and stricter. And I
am
calling on you to
finally stand up and make yourself heard to protect us right now.
I was instrumental in a
huge letter writing campaign In 2008 when Health Canada tried to impose the
powers and penalties
later found in Vanessa’s Law (S.C. 2014, c.24) on natural health products. This
was
defeated by one of the
largest citizen rebellions in our history. There were literally wheelbarrows
full of
letters delivered to Parliament
Hill in 2008
Health Canada knows the
citizens do not want Vanessa’s Law to apply to natural products. But recently
Health Canada just
pulled a fast one on us. They snuck into the Budget Bill changes to apply
Vanessa’s
Law to natural products
(Bill C-47 sections 500-504). You and I did not notice and now it is law. I
need
you to have sections
500-504 repealed. These powers and penalties are completely inappropriate for
products that are less
of a risk to us than lightning is. These powers and penalties will be used to
destroy
and terrify producers
and practitioners that are saving lives and alleviating suffering.
Health Canada has also
published in the Canada Gazette a Notice of an intention to begin charging
natural health
businesses dramatic new fees for site and product licensing. This is to support
Health
Canada expanding its
enforcement branch to enforce stricter regulatory requirements on the natural
health community and to
censor truthful information.
The new fees will drive
many small and medium natural health product producers out of business. You
and I will lose access
to those products. The new fees will drive the prices of natural products
higher as
the producers that
remain will have to raise prices to stay viable. This takes away natural
products from
poor and disadvantaged
Canadians who can no longer afford them. I am calling on you to stop these
new fees.
You also have to stop
the relentless censorship. Health Canada bureaucrats say that the only
information that can be
shared about a natural product’s efficacy is the Health Canada approved label
claim. I ask : How many
Health Canada agents have ever taken a herbal course or a course on any
natural products? What
gives them the authority to censor natural health product information?
Health Canada
deliberately limits label claims to meaningless structure-function claims such
as “Supports this” or
“Supports that”.
Are you in support of producers
and practitioners who advertise truthful health
information about a
product to be subject to Health Canada censorship tactics including criminal
charges according to sections
500-504 of Bill C-47 to pass with the maximum fines increasing from
$5,000 to $5,000,000? Censorship will increase and ordinary
Canadians will lose access to effective
natural products
because they cannot be told the truth about them. A product that can help you
does
not exist for you if
you cannot be told it can help you.
These two changes are
just two parts of the Self-Care Framework which is being imposed on us.
Upcoming steps in the
Self-Care Framework include:
• Restricting claims
for products to minor conditions for which a person would not seek the advice
of a health care
practitioner licensed by a province, such as Naturopathic Doctors, Traditional
Chinese Medicine
practitioners, etc. These practitioners will lose the products they use to help
us, and we will lose
the practitioners because they will no longer be able to help us;
• Requiring the same
levels of evidence for natural health products and chemical drugs.
Harmonizing the
evidence standards will result in the loss of a large number of natural health
products.
Currently, traditional
use evidence can be used to support efficacy claims for natural products. In
some
traditions, such as the
Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, there are thousands of years of robust
traditional use
evidence. When the Standing Committee on Health held extensive consultations to
determine how to best
regulate natural products they were clear:
1. Natural health
products should not be regulated like chemical drugs, and
2. Traditional use
evidence needs to be allowed for efficacy claims.
https://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/36-1/HEAL/report-2 .
I ask that you stop the Self-Care Framework now.
I am fed up with Health
Canada bureaucrats over-regulating natural products. I am fed up with natural
health products being
regulated like they were chemical drugs. I am fed up with losing access to
effective natural
health products. I am angry about the lies that we need to be protected. I am
angry
about Health Canada
sneaking changes into the Budget Bill. I want you to solve this now.
We, the Citizens, have
already come up with the solution. The solution is the Charter of Health
Freedom
(www.charterofhealthfreedom.org ). I want you to do
all that you can to get the Charter of Health
Freedom passed into
law.
So that I am clear, I
am asking you to protect your family and my family by:
1. Getting sections
500-504 of Bill C-47 repealed;
2. Stopping cost
recovery on natural health product businesses;
3. Getting the Charter
of Health Freedom enacted;
4. Stopping the
Self-Care Framework, and
5. De-regulating
natural health products.
For further education I
ask that you please read:
• the NHPPA Discussion
Paper on these changes found at https://nhppa.org/?page_id=21833 ;
• the Standing
Committee on Health Report Natural Products: a New Vision found at
https://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/36-1/HEAL/report-2 , and
• the NHPPA Discussion
Paper on the origins of the Self-Care Framework found at
https://nhppa.org/?page_id=15963 .
I am looking forward to
our discussion regarding this matter. I am also asking that you respond to the work you are doing regarding health products and my concerns in
writing.
Sincerely,
Donna Roth
Please read the
Discussion Paper so you understand the topics.
Health Canada has
been over-regulating natural health products for years. I am tired of this.
I rely on natural
health products for [list what you rely on natural health products for].
Speak about
successful natural health product stories either personal or in your circle.
You are fourteen
times more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a natural
health
product. We do not need
stricter regulations. I am not willing to give up my freedom to access
natural health
products.
Many Canadians rely
on natural health products. They need to be protected.
We are going to lose
natural health products and the practitioners that rely on them. Unless
Canadians step up to
stop this, this is the end of non-pharmaceutical health care.
The fees being
imposed will drive small and many medium Natural Health Product (“NHP”)
businesses and
practitioners out of business.
The new fees will
fund new permanent inspection/regulatory programs that will dramatically
increase the regulatory
burden on NHP businesses and practitioners.
The new regulatory
burden being imposed will drive small and many medium NHP businesses
and practitioners out
of business.
We will lose natural
health products, natural health companies and eventually natural health
practitioners.
Prices to consumers
will increase which removes products for people who can no longer afford
them.
Censorship of
truthful health information will increase which is a way of taking products
away. If
a person cannot be told
a product can help them, the product is effectively taken away.
Taking away natural
health products and censoring truthful information about them will have
negative health
consequences.
The powers and
penalties we fought against in Bill C-51 in 2008 have been imposed on those in
the natural health
community. Fines have increased from a maximum of $5,000 an offence to
$5,000,000 per day of
an offence. Directors, officers and employees are also personally
responsible for these
$5,000,000 a day fines.
Health Canada will
get almost God-like powers. They can order you to take any "corrective
action". Failure
to comply can result in $5,000,000 a day fines.
The Self-Care
Framework will restrict NHPs/Self-care products to conditions for which a
person
would not seek the
advice of a health care practitioner licenced by a province. This will greatly
reduce the conditions
for which NHPs can be approved. It will eliminate professional products.
The Self-Care
Framework will remove the ability to use traditional use evidence to support
efficacy claims. This
will lead to the loss of a large number of natural health products.

www.nhppa.org | www.charterofhealthfreedom.org | 1.519.648.2050
The chemical drug
standards of evidence to prove safety and efficacy will be imposed on natural
health products.
Requiring the same levels of evidence for efficacy and safety as is required
for
chemical over-the-counter
drugs will lead to a large loss of natural products.
The compounding
exemption will most likely be removed.
The Standing
Committee on Health told us how to regulate natural health products. I want the
Standing Committee on
Health recommendations enforced.
I am angry about what
Health Canada is doing.
I am angry that
Health Canada snuck changes into the Budget Bill imposing the Vanessa Law
powers and penalties
upon natural health product businesses.
Thank you for your email, I appreciate hearing from you.
I note that you have
spoken with a member of my team about scheduling a meeting. Please note that
they will require the full names, residential address, email, and telephone
number of all prospective attendees of the meeting in order to verify they are
residents of Kelowna-Lake Country and in order for them to be considered
confirmed to attend. I will also note that meetings can be subject to change,
however, a member of my team will let you know in advance if that is the case.
On the federal matters
in your email, for your reference, on Bill C-47, which has provisions in
it that affect the Food and Drugs Act and natural health products, Conservatives
moved specific amendments that would remove these changes to the Food and Drugs
Act, however, due to the NDP-Liberal coalition’s combined voting power, these
Conservative amendments were unsuccessful. Conservatives did not support Bill
C-47, yet it passed in the House of Commons due to the NDP-Liberal coalition
and there is no parliamentary mechanism for us to amend this legislation
further.
With regards to the proposed fees for natural health
products, this is a Health Canada initiative that has not come to the House of
Commons for a debate or vote. For your reference, Health Canada extended the
timeline that Canadians can provide their feedback on this initiative to
August 10, 2023. Here is a link with further information on this: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/programs/consultation-proposed-fees-natural-health-products.html
As well, here is a link with further information on the
Health Canada policy as a whole: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/programs/consultation-proposed-fees-natural-health-products/overview.html
It is also that case that the self-care framework that you
have referred to is a Health Canada initiative that has also not come to the
House of Commons for debate or a vote. Here is a link that has more information
on that subject: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/self-care-framework.html
For your reference, there have been no recent studies or
work done on the matter of natural health products by the Standing Committee
on Health (HESA). Committee studies have to be agreed to
by more than half of the committee members. Due to the NDP-Liberal arrangement
it is much more difficult for us as Conservatives in the Official Opposition to
bring forth studies at committee.
Existing regulations on health supplements already keep
Canadians safe and these unnecessary new regulations put Canadian businesses at
a disadvantage. Canadians stand to lose access to the health supplements that
they choose to use as a result of red tape and bureaucratic gatekeeping, rather
than health impact. This new red tape is about giving more power to Ottawa, not
protecting Canadians.
Common sense Conservatives will ensure Canadian businesses
are competitive and that Canadians’ access to safe supplements is protected.
Thank you again for your email, please stay well, and feel
free to reach out any time.
