Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Lee Know. He is a licensed naturopathic doctor and Cannanda's co-founder and Managing Director. This company manufactures Natural Health Products to assist people and animals in living long and happy lives. Dr Lee has always been interested in health and medicine. He thought that, just like others, he would go to a conventional medical school. However, he truly desires to study nutrition, botanical medicine, and all other types of traditional medicine. The problem is that he doesn't know the path towards it. Moving forward, Dr Lee met a person who introduced him the naturopathic medicine. Since then, he has continued to study the field of medicine he is interested in. Dr Lee Know is also the author of Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine: The Key to Understanding Disease, Chronic Illness, Aging, and Life Itself. This book dives deeper into the scientific understanding of what mitochondria is and how it affects medicine in the future. In this episode, Dr Lee discusses how mitochondria and the ketogenic diet are linked. He also shares tips on how to take care of our mitochondria. Dr. Lee shares his journey in building his company, Cannanda. Aside from that, he talks about what Endocannabinoid System is. Furthermore, Dr Lee tells the difference between THC and CBD and how to ease a dog's anxiety using one of their top-selling products. Tune in as we chat about the mitochondria, ketogenic diet, endocannabinoid system, cannabis, and his company, Cannanda.   Get Cannanda products here (coupon code applied) https://www.cannanda.com/KETOKAMP Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  ⭐ Bioptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough.

Mitochondria is very heavily involved in the ketogenic diet, or the benefits of the ketogenic diet really heavily weigh on the mitochondria. There is a strong link between the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it improves the functioning of the mitochondria. There are incredible success stories of people with Alzheimer's improving their condition by going on a ketogenic diet. Studies on the ketogenic diet and calorie restriction found that you can reverse type two diabetes.  [18:15] Are Worried About Your Mitochondria? Get Physically Active and Take Care of It! A sedentary lifestyle has a huge negative impact on the mitochondria Being physically active is the greatest thing you can do for your mitochondria. You need to ensure that you feed your body with the nutrients it needs, but not in the way you introduce excessive calories.  The more mitochondria you have, the better everything else works. [27:46] Dr Lee's Excellent Journey in Building His Company, Cannanda Dr Lee has always been interested in studying the Endocannabinoid system's influence on health. The endocannabinoid system and the mitochondria are both related to homeostasis. Anytime something goes wrong in the body, the endocannabinoid system's job is to jump into action and start the processes needed to bring about healing or bring those processes back towards their balanced state.  Medicinal use of cannabis was legalized in Canada, which allowed him to study more, and grew his interest in this field. Dr Lee realizes the need to create a more accessible and economical business for customers to buy. [33:53] How to Activate Endocannabinoid System to Regulate Our Nervous System? The two main components of the Endocannabinoid System are the cannabinoid compounds that our bodies make and the cannabinoid receptors.  Cannabinoid receptors have two main types that are often talked about, and that is cannabinoid receptor type one or CB1, and cannabinoid receptor type two or CB2. When you use cannabis and THC, that activates the CB1 receptors, and that's what gets people high. CB2 brings a lot of health benefits when activated. The difference in CB1 is that you won't be intoxicated. The Endocannabinoid system regulates the nervous system by sending inhibitory signals up the chain. [41:05] THC and CBD: What Is Their Difference and How It Affects The Benefits You Could Get? CBD actually doesn't activate CB1 or CB2 receptors. Unlike THC, which can activate both CB1 and CB2 receptors, when you get CB2 activated from using cannabis, it's actually coming from THC. The best type of product is what they call a full spectrum extract because the full spectrum will have the THC, and that's where the CB2 receptor activation and many of the health benefits will actually come from. Dr Lee's product is a selective CB2 agonist or an activator. And that means it activates CB2 receptors without activating the CB1. Hence, you get all the health or physiological benefits of activating CB2 receptors but none of the intoxications that comes with CB1 activation.  [47:44] Dog Anxiety: How to Safely Use Cannabis to Help Your Dog Every vertebrate mammal has an endocannabinoid system.  Dr Lee has a product called Dog Ease CB2, their top seller on Amazon. Dog Ease CB2 have healthcare approval. People use Dog Ease CB2 for stress-related behavior in dogs, whether it's separation anxiety, thunders, or anything that makes a dog nervous.  Cats also metabolize terpenes at a much slower rate than humans and dogs. The dose given to cats is a fraction of what the dog label says.  AND MUCH MORE!

We have a right to health! We should always have the choice to curate our own healthcare regime using herbs, supplements, and other natural health products as we see fit. We are more than capable of this and there was never a problem here to begin with. Bill C-47 is now on our doorstep creeping ever closer to being pushed into full effect. This MUST be the line in the sand. Not only is it unethical to impose these restrictions, but it is also very reckless and dangerous! Many people are alive today because of Natural Health Products. Their quality of life and access to those products depend on them. If this bill moves forward along with whatever else Health Canada has in its plans, the natural health community as we know it will be gone. It's time for aligned action and standing together until Bill C-47 is abolished. Please join us for a round table discussion on this topic with some dynamic speakers so you can understand exactly what is happening and how we can all take action. Get a deeper understanding of what is going on here, and what is needed at this time. Whether you're a consumer of herbs and supplements, rely on them for your day to day wellness, or if you're a small  or larger-scale herbalist or nutritional consultant, this conversation is one you will want to hear. Hosted by Alison Ritchie of This Grand Voyage and Malcolm Saunders of Light Cellar, you will hear from guest speakers Susan Stanfield and Ken Drysdale to inform and empower each of us to take a stand for our right to access natural health supplements. We cannot let our health choices be dictated by others! Be part of a movement to protect our holistic approach to well-being. Your participation matters.   This is conversation number one in a series where we will continue to talk with experts and industry folks who can present inssights and strategies we can each implement.   Stay tuned for more to be released on this channel as well as the Right to Health Rumble channel  https://rumble.com/c/c-5703399?_kx=SREIXvi1m1rRRNESFTYql-5mat3Td7Nik_0SQ7qcQjE%3D.TmiBGG   #righttohealth

In this episode of the Wild Wisdom Show, I am discussing the very controversial topic of Health Canada's announcement of proposed fees for natural health products sold in Canada. ⁠ ⁠ 

A lot is revealed in this conversation with relation to Canada's healthcare system, and it connects to a much bigger picture world-wide.Important links discussed in the show and how you can take action now:Charter of Health Freedom Petition - Collect signatures!James Roguski Substack - learn what's going on with One Health.NHPPA.org Natural Health Products Protection Association - "Take Action" resources  write to your MPInternational https://www.anhinternational.org/US https://anh-usa.org/action-center/This discussion is important because the threat of losing accessibility & choice of natural health products will change the health of a population, & destroy small & medium size businesses. Many manufacturers have said they will leave Canada. This is not about safety & it's not the first time Health Canada has tried to regulate natural health products as chemical drugs. It's about removing autonomy to support our health naturally & force people into the pharmaceutical health model. Canada already had comprehensive regulations for supplements manufactured & sold within Canada, some of the strictest & safest in the world!Here are important questions to ask yourself:Do you take vitamin D?  Do you take a probiotic? Do you take multi-ingredient supplements?  Do you consult with a natural health practitioner? (Or are you one?) This will be affected.Brett Hawes is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner & Holistic Nutritionist with 18 years clinical experience.

It's been decades in the making, but there will be major changes to the way we regulate medicines, medical devices and natural health products. 

On June 22, 2023, the Parliament of Canada passed C-47. This law imposes new fees and stricter natural health product market restrictions. The Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA) argues that this will drive many of the smaller and medium-sized producers and retailers (like your local health supplement store) out of business.  Their products will be gone.The prices will increase for the products that survive. This is because the producers will have to pass on their increased costs to the consumer.  At a time when healthcare across our nation is under strain, most Canadians would agree that we need to be going towards having MORE access to health and wellness products, not less.  Features on this show to discuss is Shawn Buckley, a constitutional lawyer who at one point represented Health Canada but has since become one of the leading litigators against them. He is also a national voice raising awareness on the issue.  Joining him is David Stephan, son of Tony Stephan, a Canadian health products pioneer. David is also a Canadian food supplement company executive who has direct experience with this issue.  Thanks for joining us.

Dr. NavNirat Nibber is a Naturopathic Doctor and works as a Medical Advisor and Content Creator at Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR). Dr. Nibber grew up in the world of complementary and alternative health care and natural supplements. After completing her bachelor's degree in Biology and Microbiology at the University of Victoria, Dr. Nibber moved to Toronto to complete the four-year-long naturopathic degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. A recent federal bill was passed in Canada that may drastically change the landscape of natural health products in Canada. This not only will affect manufacturers, but retailers, and ultimately, consumers as well. Millions of Canadians, myself included, regularly use natural health products, and so this is a concern for many, many people. Dr. Nibber and I discussed the proposed changes, and what it means for Canadians. We also discussed the landscape of natural health products both in Canada and abroad, and how that might change. We spoke about the pros and cons of this, and I felt it was a very balanced conversation. Lastly, we spoke about what you can do to speak up, get involved, and have your voice heard. The best place to start, is the #SaveOurSupplements webpage, where they have more information on who you should speak to within your local government. For more on AOR and their upcoming products and innovations, visit the website, and follow their IG page. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

It's possible you take one or more supplements every day. We have talked at length, study after study, about all kinds of Natural Health Products or NHPs right here about their effectiveness in combination with good food and an overall healthy lifestyle. In Canada, NHPs are defined as naturally occurring substances used to restore or maintain good health. Whether it's capsules, creams, solutions, ointments, tinctures, or drops... there are many choices out there. It's a heavily regulated world to be sure if they're on the shelf, they're all safe, and they work. Health Canada and the government want to change our natural health products and create legislation and bills that treat these NHPs like pharmaceutical drugs, and that's not what we want. On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we invited a lawyer, Shawn Buckley, President, NHPPA.org, Constitutional Lawyer, who has been battling on the front lines of these initiatives to help us all understand what is going on behind the scenes and how your natural health products are at risk, and what you can do about it.

In today's episode I talk about the major changes that are taking place in the Natural Health Product Industry. Health Canada recently passed Bill C47 which could be the downfall of Natural Health as we know it causing price increases, significant decreases in your accessibility to natural health products, significant government overreach and likely the end to many natural health professions. Please watch, share and follow the suggestions outlined in this video to help prevent this from becoming a reality. This is real, this is happening and we need everyone to do something otherwise we will lose the natural health industry as we have known it. Prefer to watch instead of listen to this episode?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Lee Know. He is a licensed naturopathic doctor and Cannanda's co-founder and Managing Director. This company manufactures Natural Health Products to assist people and animals in living long and happy lives. Dr Lee has always been interested in health and medicine. He thought that, just like others, he would go to a conventional medical school. However, he truly desires to study nutrition, botanical medicine, and all other types of traditional medicine. The problem is that he doesn't know the path towards it. Moving forward, Dr Lee met a person who introduced him the naturopathic medicine. Since then, he has continued to study the field of medicine he is interested in. Dr Lee Know is also the author of Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine: The Key to Understanding Disease, Chronic Illness, Aging, and Life Itself. This book dives deeper into the scientific understanding of what mitochondria is and how it affects medicine in the future. In this episode, Dr Lee discusses how mitochondria and the ketogenic diet are linked. He also shares tips on how to take care of our mitochondria. Dr. Lee shares his journey in building his company, Cannanda. Aside from that, he talks about what Endocannabinoid System is. Furthermore, Dr Lee tells the difference between THC and CBD and how to ease a dog's anxiety using one of their top-selling products. Tune in as we chat about the mitochondria, ketogenic diet, endocannabinoid system, cannabis, and his company, Cannanda.   Get Cannanda products here (coupon code applied) https://www.cannanda.com/KETOKAMP Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[8:30] How Does Mitochondria and Ketogenic Diet Relate To Each Other? Mitochondria is very heavily involved in the ketogenic diet, or the benefits of the ketogenic diet really heavily weigh on the mitochondria. There is a strong link between the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it improves the functioning of the mitochondria. There are incredible success stories of people with Alzheimer's improving their condition by going on a ketogenic diet. Studies on the ketogenic diet and calorie restriction found that you can reverse type two diabetes.  [18:15] Are Worried About Your Mitochondria? Get Physically Active and Take Care of It! A sedentary lifestyle has a huge negative impact on the mitochondria Being physically active is the greatest thing you can do for your mitochondria. You need to ensure that you feed your body with the nutrients it needs, but not in the way you introduce excessive calories.  The more mitochondria you have, the better everything else works. [27:46] Dr Lee's Excellent Journey in Building His Company, Cannanda Dr Lee has always been interested in studying the Endocannabinoid system's influence on health. The endocannabinoid system and the mitochondria are both related to homeostasis. Anytime something goes wrong in the body, the endocannabinoid system's job is to jump into action and start the processes needed to bring about healing or bring those processes back towards their balanced state.  Medicinal use of cannabis was legalized in Canada, which allowed him to study more, and grew his interest in this field. Dr Lee realizes the need to create a more accessible and economical business for customers to buy. [33:53] How to Activate Endocannabinoid System to Regulate Our Nervous System? The two main components of the Endocannabinoid System are the cannabinoid compounds that our bodies make and the cannabinoid receptors.  Cannabinoid receptors have two main types that are often talked about, and that is cannabinoid receptor type one or CB1, and cannabinoid receptor type two or CB2. When you use cannabis and THC, that activates the CB1 receptors, and that's what gets people high. CB2 brings a lot of health benefits when activated. The difference in CB1 is that you won't be intoxicated. The Endocannabinoid system regulates the nervous system by sending inhibitory signals up the chain. [41:05] THC and CBD: What Is Their Difference and How It Affects The Benefits You Could Get? CBD actually doesn't activate CB1 or CB2 receptors. Unlike THC, which can activate both CB1 and CB2 receptors, when you get CB2 activated from using cannabis, it's actually coming from THC. The best type of product is what they call a full spectrum extract because the full spectrum will have the THC, and that's where the CB2 receptor activation and many of the health benefits will actually come from. Dr Lee's product is a selective CB2 agonist or an activator. And that means it activates CB2 receptors without activating the CB1. Hence, you get all the health or physiological benefits of activating CB2 receptors but none of the intoxications that comes with CB1 activation.  [47:44] Dog Anxiety: How to Safely Use Cannabis to Help Your Dog Every vertebrate mammal has an endocannabinoid system.  Dr Lee has a product called Dog Ease CB2, their top seller on Amazon. Dog Ease CB2 have healthcare approval. People use Dog Ease CB2 for stress-related behavior in dogs, whether it's separation anxiety, thunders, or anything that makes a dog nervous.  Cats also metabolize terpenes at a much slower rate than humans and dogs. The dose given to cats is a fraction of what the dog label says.  AND MUCH MORE!

In this episode, my guest is Ricardo Rivera-Acevedo, Chief Science Officer and Director at Ecovita Health Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada working to initiate and manage a medical cannabis extraction facility and guide research and development of new therapeutic products. Ricardo is host of the Cannabis Science Podcast, the first weekly Canadian radio show focused entirely on cannabis and he is also a Scientific Consultant at ACGT, where he works to provide the skill and knowledge necessary to comply with the regulations set forth by Health Canada's Cannabis Act. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he attended City University of Puerto Rico. One of his college professors was from Canada and encouraged him to check out Vancouver where he ended up coming and starting his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Pharmacology with a fantastic mentor. “That’s kind of where I started my path of not just drug development, medical research, but also my introduction into the science of cannabis.” While preparing for his Ph.D. comprehensive examination, he mentions, “while studying the capsaicin receptor (the spicy hot feeling when eating a chili pepper) that receptor is actually activated and interacts with cannabinoids. And that receptor is also directly involved in pain sensation, noxious pain sensation. So I began to prepare this document for this examination. And I began to realize, Oh, you know what, there's a lot more to cannabis than I had previously considered in terms of like these molecular interactions because I always thought cannabis just had its effects on you know, on CB 1 receptor, cannabinoid receptor one and CB 2, and that's it. But it's much more complex than that and much more dynamic. And so that kind of began to push me in that direction” Ricardo discusses being involved in the first clinical trial with dried cannabis on the island of Puerto Rico. “We were able to do the hard work and effort to initiate the first clinical trial with dried cannabis on the island of Puerto Rico, one of the first of its kind to any US territory.” He describes some of what he learned from this research; “So the basis by which you should really guide your therapeutic use is through the ratios of cannabinoids, CBD and THC. Now there are a bunch of other cannabinoids and they have some very interesting effects. But the main cannabinoids that are well studied right now are the THC and CBD. We've definitely established this conclusively, but it's also something that other groups and other labs have seen and many people have known for a long time, which is that when it comes to cannabis, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. So what does that mean? That means that when you have for example, CBD by itself, it is not as effective as CBD with THC, and then CBD with the other constituents in cannabis. But the issue is that, sadly, people have been focusing on CBD and THC for a very long time. So there's a lot of other chemical constituents that are now being explored but because they occur at such low levels in the plants, they're very difficult to get at levels too, to do a lot of these scientific experiments, particularly in smaller sort of academic environment. So what we're trying to do is to isolate them, purify them and then begin to introduce them back into a formula that reproduces what’d in the plant, but then we can also add or remove these different cannabinoids and see what happens. Because, honestly, to be just like open with you right now, it's kind of interesting and novel information that we've discovered. It's not just CBD and THC, that are doing this stuff, we're seeing effects that we can't describe just by looking at the THC and CBD that are very beneficial for a patient. And it has to do with the other cannabinoids that are actually present. And some strains have some of these cannabinoids like CBC for example, or, or even CBN that people have said, Oh, that’s the degraded products of THC. They do seem to have benefits for patients that are now only being teased apart.” Ricardo also discusses his podcast; “Cannabis Science Podcast is exclusively dedicated to discussing the most up-to-date science on cannabis and cannabinoids, from an industry insider’s perspective”. He decided to start this labor of love to educate and inform anyone and everyone on the science of cannabis. What he had assumed was common knowledge even among the scientific population was not necessarily so. The podcast was launched in an effort to get everyone on the same page to inform and education on the science of cannabis. In his own words; “I am a scientist and entrepreneur working to help biotech companies find better ways to solve poorly managed health conditions. To do this, my areas of expertise include drug chemistry and pharmacology, extraction, formulation, product development, facility design and operation, project management, regulatory consultation, as well as designing, organizing and directing clinical trials. I also strongly believe in science education and communication as valuable tools to improve people's lives by empowering them to make well-informed decisions for themselves and society. At this moment, I provide the training, knowledge, and skills necessary for organizations to successfully achieve their product and research goals” From his website bio: Dr. Rivera-Acevedo is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He is also cannabinologist and consultant for various pharma companies around the world. With a BSc from the University of Puerto Rico – Cayey and PhD in Pharmacology from the University of British Columbia, he has extensive knowledge and expertise researching cannabis and its derivatives. In 2015, he established the first laboratory for cannabinoid research in the Department of Pharmacology at UBC, which is dedicated to understanding the therapeutic uses of different cannabis strains and formulations to treat different diseases. He also teaches various undergraduate courses within the department including Introduction to Pharmacology, Statistics in Science, Drug Development, Natural Health Products, and Pharmacogenomics. As former Director of Chemistry for Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd, he lead the chemistry team conducting R&D, QA/QC, and manufacturing research to improve cannabinoid extract formulations and development of new delivery methods. He also helped organize and supervise one of the first internationally recognized clinical trials with cannabis in Puerto Rico. When not in the lab, he can be found in the dojo practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, teaching mindfulness to high school students with the Vancouver Crisis Centre, co-hosting the shows Cannabis Science Podcast, Cannabis Con Ciencia Podcast, and El Bus De Las 7 on Vancouver Coop Radio 100.5 FM.” Thank you, Ricardo, for providing us with a glimpse of your ongoing research, work and projects in the area of cannabis science! There’s a lot more within this rich, informative episode that will be helpful for anyone wanting to increase their scientific knowledge on cannabis and gaining more of an understanding of the vast untapped potential of this plant.

In this episode, my guest is Ricardo Rivera-Acevedo, Chief Science Officer and Director at Ecovita Health Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada working to initiate and manage a medical cannabis extraction facility and guide research and development of new therapeutic products. Ricardo is host of the Cannabis Science Podcast, the first weekly Canadian radio show focused entirely on cannabis and he is also a Scientific Consultant at ACGT, where he works to provide the skill and knowledge necessary to comply with the regulations set forth by Health Canada's Cannabis Act. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he attended City University of Puerto Rico. One of his college professors was from Canada and encouraged him to check out Vancouver where he ended up coming and starting his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Pharmacology with a fantastic mentor. “That’s kind of where I started my path of not just drug development, medical research, but also my introduction into the science of cannabis.” While preparing for his Ph.D. comprehensive examination, he mentions, “while studying the capsaicin receptor (the spicy hot feeling when eating a chili pepper) that receptor is actually activated and interacts with cannabinoids. And that receptor is also directly involved in pain sensation, noxious pain sensation. So I began to prepare this document for this examination. And I began to realize, Oh, you know what, there's a lot more to cannabis than I had previously considered in terms of like these molecular interactions because I always thought cannabis just had its effects on you know, on CB 1 receptor, cannabinoid receptor one and CB 2, and that's it. But it's much more complex than that and much more dynamic. And so that kind of began to push me in that direction”Ricardo discusses being involved in the first clinical trial with dried cannabis on the island of Puerto Rico. “We were able to do the hard work and effort to initiate the first clinical trial with dried cannabis on the island of Puerto Rico, one of the first of its kind to any US territory.” He describes some of what he learned from this research; “So the basis by which you should really guide your therapeutic use is through the ratios of cannabinoids, CBD and THC. Now there are a bunch of other cannabinoids and they have some very interesting effects. But the main cannabinoids that are well studied right now are the THC and CBD. We've definitely established this conclusively, but it's also something that other groups and other labs have seen and many people have known for a long time, which is that when it comes to cannabis, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. So what does that mean? That means that when you have for example, CBD by itself, it is not as effective as CBD with THC, and then CBD with the other constituents in cannabis. But the issue is that, sadly, people have been focusing on CBD and THC for a very long time.

How much evidence is needed to make a health claim in Canada? Surprisingly little. That could change next year but the proposal is facing a lot of opposition.

Once upon a time, probiotics were the only “-biotic” that ruled the healthy CPG (consumer packaged good) landscape. As consumer understanding and research findings grew, other -biotic categories formed with their own research supporting human and animal health. Some, such as prebiotics and synbiotics, are gaining consumer traction, but others, such as postbiotics and psychobiotics are still gaining their footing. And CBD-biotics? Is that a thing? (No, it’s not.) In this podcast Ivan Wasserman, managing partner, Amin Talati Upadhye LLP, discusses the growth of these -biotics in the marketplace and the regulatory challenges they face.

Lawyer and president of the Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA), Shawn Buckley joins me today. The NHPPA is a non-profit activist organization with the sole objective of protecting access to Natural Health Products (NHP’s) and Dietary Supplements.  Today we discuss the pressing issue of restriction of access to NHP’s. Of particular interest  are the […]

Nathalie speaks with Dr. Orest Szczurko about his clinical trials testing the results of natural health products to cure and/or prompt repigmentation to the white patches of vitiligo.

In this interview Dr Guy Hatchard addresses this and explains how plants animals and humans have evolved together and how our gut is made to digest natural products better than synthetic ones. He is an absolute mine of information around this, the Gaia principle and quantum physics. Dr Guy Hatchard was formerly the Natural Health Products director at Genetic ID, a global food testing company. He now runs the Natural Food Commission to inform the public about the benefits of traditional natural medicine and the dangers of food regulation. Working with industry and natural health practitioners, he has organised a campaign to oppose the Natural Health Products Bill which is in the queue for its final reading in parliament. Alliance against this BillAn alliance of Natural Products companies, doctors, and affected individuals are mounting a legal challenge to the provisions of the Natural Health Products bill. The government is planning to present the Natural Health Products Bill for its final reading shortly with provisions that resemble the original bill, the Theraputic Goods Act,  which was abandoned in the face of huge public opposition. The Ministry of Health has already begun to implement the bill’s anticipated provisions. Analysis of the latest version of the bill released on 15th March shows it will greatly disadvantage traditional medicine affecting the health care choices of tens of thousands of NZers.  However as opposition to this bill is mounting, government has pushed it down on the order paper in parliament. This is an opportunity to provide more opposition, which as you listen to the interview and read below, you will see is most necessary! A Draconian Law In 2011, the Government and the Green Party promised a law that would encourage the use of Natural Health Products alongside conventional medicine as a precursor to an integrated, science-based approach to health. Instead the law has emerged from the corridors of power as a draconian and restrictive approach which is very different from the integrative approach to medicine which is beginning to flourish overseas. 1) The Bill has adopted a list of 5500 controlled substances from Australia and Canada which means that its provisions are similar to the Trans Tasman Therapeutic Products Agreement proposed in 2006 which was later abandoned after being roundly rejected by the NZ public. 2) Because the permitted natural ingredient list contains approximately 3000 chemicals and synthetics in addition to herbs; it will allow products labelled as natural to contain synthetic additives thereby debasing the meaning of the word natural, which will confuse and disadvantage the public. 3) It enshrines in law the idea that serious illness cannot be benefited by Natural Health Products despite the growing scientific evidence published around the world that nutrition and traditional medicines can have a huge beneficial impact on cancers, heart disease, digestive and respiratory illness, and other chronic illness. 4) It restricts free speech about the health benefits of food and introduces chilling penalties of up to $250,000 for those who communicate the benefits of natural products without first obtaining Government permission. 5) It places pharmaceutical regulators with no interest or expertise in natural health in charge of our food and health choices. These same people will adjudicate on traditional Ayurvedic, Chinese, Maori, and herbal systems of medicines. This is contrary to assurances given by the Hon. Jonathan Coleman to Parliament that Medsafe would not administer the Bill and product suppliers would be able to self-certify compliance. 6) The Government has tried to justify the Bill by saying that it will ensure the safety of the public, but no evidence of risk has been presented. It fact evidence shows it is far more dangerous to go out to eat in a restaurant or consume a bowl of salad at home than it is to take a Natural Health Product. Therefore there is no justification for introducing pharmaceutical style regulations. 7) It is a Henry VIII Bill, containing enabling and regulatory provisions which allow the Ministry of Health to take decisions for any reasons it believes to be relevant. This is poorly written legislation which is open to abuse, misunderstanding and litigation. 8) It contains a clause which prevents unfairly treated individuals and firms from asking a court of law to uphold the safeguards contained in the Bill. The only redress available is to ask the Authority to reconsider its decisions. This will frustrate justice and enable the Authority to ignore matters of fact. 9) Because there has been no credible attempt to rationalise the provisions of the Natural Health Products Bill with the Medicines Act 1981 and the Food Bill, it contains a hidden mechanism to allow pharmaceutical companies to gain effective patents over health giving traditional herbs which has already been exploited in Australia and will now be available here. 10) It wastes money and resources on restricting the natural health choices of the public, while serious and growing problems such as childhood obesity, hypertension, ADHD, and anxiety, which are largely caused or complicated by poor diet and nutrition, are almost completely ignored. 11) It places an additional huge cost on the natural health products industry through onerous regulations and charges which will increase the cost of products and likely ensure small and even medium sized companies have to go out of business as happened in Australia where dozens of firms have been forced to close their doors and traditional medicine suppliers have all but disappeared. 12) It allows unhealthy foods and products including tobacco, sugary drinks, and alcohol to continue to be sold, while restricting healthy choices. How irresponsible is this, and what a complete waste of resources? Guy has made videos explaining his concerns, including this one, on the new global restrictions on Natural Health products. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q5AIzMyMDM&feature=youtu.be This interview is sponsored by The Awareness Party. www.theawarenessparty.com

Outlawing Natural Health, The Fracking Bubble, The Life and Death of Hugo Chavez Imagine a middle-aged couple starting a simple business. They provide herbs or vitamins or some other innocuous product to the public. Let's suppose they also promote the health benefits of taking this product. Under current laws, the couple could find themselves the target of a sting operation in which an armed RCMP SWAT team might swoop down on their residence, bust their door down, stick guns in the occupants' faces and force them to sit on a couch for eleven hours while the agents search for contraband. According to constitutional lawyer Rocco Galati, not only could this happen, it has happened! In Canada! The offensive legislation in question relates to an Act that governs so-called Natural Health Products. Dietary supplements, vitamins, herbs, foods and any other such natural item have proven to be far less dangerous than most over the counter prescription medications. These are now being targeted by Health Canada as a potential health hazard. Galati is mounting a legal challenge against Health Canada. He tells the Global Research News Hour why the legislation on the books is insidious and unconstitutional and needs to be changed. The Fracking Bubble According to Deborah Rodgers of Energy Policy Forum, the current boom in shale oil and gas is not only unsustainable and environmentally contentious, it is built on unreliable estimates and projections. In this interview she explains the critical difference between reserve estimates and resource estimates, and why Wall Street is deriving profits from what appears to be a bubble akin to the Sub Prime Mortgage bubble which burst in 2008. The Death of Chavez Millions around the world are mourning the death of Bolivarian leader Hugo Chavez who died of cancer on Tuesday March 5 at the age of 58. Chavez defied US imperial aims including a coup attempt in 2002. He has since been a thorn in the side of both the Bush and the Obama administrations. As the Venezuelan people grieve and admirers around the world pay homage, the Global Research News Hour brings in frequent guest and Chavez admirer Stephen Lendman to examine Chavez's impact on international geo-politics. We also discuss the possibility that the Venezuelan President may have been the victim of a US assassination attempt!

http://www.podcasthero.com Join the Community! Health Empowerment Episode 10 - Shawn Buckley, the NHPPA and Bill C-51 Part 1 of 4 Shawn Buckley is on the show again this week to discuss the proposed Bill C51 which could radically change the natural health products industry. --------------- The Immediate Threat The immediate threat facing the Natural Health Product industry is the implementation of the drug-style Natural Health Product Regulations. The NHPPA is concerned that the industry is: * being subjected to drug-style regulations that are too onerous for the risk profile presented by Natural Health Products; * open to arbitrary attacks by the regulatory body; * unprepared for upcoming challenges such as cost recovery for the Natural Health Product Directorate, and increasingly onerous standards for site and product licenses. The NHPPA believes that the industry cannot afford to be inactive while: * the new NHP Regulations are driving small and medium manufacturers out of business; * manufacturers continue to drop low selling Natural Health Products due to the high cost of compliance; * the NHP Regulations unduly increase the cost of products; * the NHP Regulations drive products from the market that Canadians depend upon for their health; * the majority of NHP License applications are denied under Regulations that were to legitimize the industry. At this point almost 60% of license applications have been either refused or withdrawn. These are primarily license applications for single ingredient products. The NHPPA expects that the percentage of license refusals will increase as the NHPD starts considering multi-ingredient products. In short, the industry will remain largely illegal, or the majority of NHPs will have to be taken off of the market; * innovation on new products grinds to a halt as it becomes clear that novel multi-ingredient products will not pass Health Canada’s scrutiny without drug-style evidence in the form of clinical trials; * natural health products that consumers, retailers and distributors depend upon are stopped at the border due to non-compliance with the NHP Regulations. Other Threats facing the Natural Health Product Industry Although the Natural Health Product industry is facing an immediate threat with the imposition of the drug-style NHP Regulations, there are other threats lurking in the background. These threats include: * international treaties Canada and the United States are participating in such as CODEX; * the imposition of ever stricter standards upon the industry by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration in the United States; * the seizure of products at the border between the United States and Canada. Currently, the main problem is U.S. products entering Canada. However, with the imposition of stricter standards on dietary supplements by the F.D.A., there is a real risk that the F.D.A. will adopt the Health Canada approach of stopping products at the border; * the imposition of ever-widening intellectual property right agreements and treaties that will affect the Natural Health Product industry. The Natural Health Product industry cannot afford to focus solely upon the immediate threat posed by the drug-style NHP Regulations. All threats to the industry need to be addressed.
