For Immediate release,

(Toronto) May 8, 2008

Concerned Citizens and Natural Health Practitioners against Bill C-51 will hold a rally and press conference to protest the Amendment of the Food And Drug Act at 11:00 am on Saturday May 10 South Side of Queenʼs Park. (march to follow)

Where: Queenʼs Park South Side. March Route: South on University to Queen.
East on Queen to Yonge. North on Yonge to College. West Back to Queens Park.

Why are people protesting?

The government could designate any natural health product as a prescription drug making it available by prescription only (Section15.1) placing greater strain on our already overwhelmed healthcare system. Bill C-51 could increase health costs by limiting Canadians choice of Natural Health Products.

Bill C-51 is promoted as a means to protect the safety of Canadians from untested natural health products. At the present time, pharmaceuticals are being passed faster then ever before without adequate time for testing and clinical research. Natural health products and therapeutic foods that have been historically used safely for 1000ʼs of years could be potentially pulled from shelves and subject to strict licensing requirements. Bill C-51 is too vague. "New" definitions are open for interpretation. Bill C-51 favours pharmaceutical drug and medical treatments.

We must ensure that every Canadian have the right to protect their own health naturally and are given time to react and suggest alternatives to Bill C-51.

As a MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques) practitioner, I have had the opportunity to help numerous people with their various physical issues over the years.

Muscle Activation is a very powerful tool in its own right. I have witnessed incredible changes to people in just a couple of sessions like how various back and shoulder issues have disappeared or how client's lack of mobility became noticeably increased and with that a new sense of well being knowing that some of their ailments were not permanent or at least made more manageable. No modality is perfect though; from past experience I have picked up on a few things that may help fitness enthusiasts meet their expectations for their personal health related goals.

The following are some lifestyle related tips to meet those goals in a more efficient manner. Having said that, there are no absolutes here, just as in life, but do try to find what works for you and gets you the best results.
