C-51 may restrict access to natural health products by lumping them in with pharmaceuticals, they say

Every week, Daniel Chiang, a nutritionist and clinic owner at the Inspired Life Health Centre on Danforth Ave., treats more than a dozen patients, offering them “alternative medicine options” to help heal ailments ranging from the flu to digestive problems.

Sometimes, he suggests home remedies; other times it may be a nutritional supplement. He has always been able to recommend or suggest as he chooses. But now he worries this could change with Bill C-51, legislation – making its way through Parliament – that will modernize the Food and Drugs Act for the first time in over 50 years.

Seems that many posters on CKA are blinded by the dazzling "tax cuts" of this goverment, and thus satiated, ignore the real dangers Harper & Co. represent.
