We should have the right to choose! Government should NOT touch traditional medicines and herbs. WTF?
In a country that prides itself on multiculturalism, why are we regulating traditional healing practices out of existence?
Canadaโs cultural richness is reflected in its healing traditions, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Indigenous medicine, homeopathy and countless others. These are not fringe or โalternativeโ options, they are essential healing modalities for millions of Canadians, passed down through generations with deep cultural significance.
But today, these practices are under threat.
Health Canadaโs Self-Care Framework Threatens To:
๐จ Make key products unaffordable or unavailable due to high licensing fees, regulatory barriers, and destructive fines.
๐จ Treat cultural remedies like pharmaceutical drugs, ignoring their low risk profile.
๐จ Force practitioners out of business, as the essential products that they rely on disappear.๏ฟฝ
๐จ Deny communities access to the traditional remedies their families have trusted for generations.
๐จ Reduce healthcare diversity in a country that prides itself on multiculturalism.
The freedom to choose how we care for our health is a fundamental right. Letโs make sure politicians understand that access to natural health products and traditional medicines must be protected.
