The EU Health Freedom Debacle

http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=17B0C76B66D6118CB172C0A6073F0BE8

In April of this year (2011) there was a change in legislation in the European Union that will affect all of us who take nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. We seem to have been kept in the dark about this by the media, but one organisation has worked phenomenally hard on our behalf to inform us and give us the tools on how to voice our opinions and keep our freedom of choice.

In this video Dr Verkerk talks about;
>> massive restrictions on allowed ingredients, including vitamin and mineral forms, as well as botanicals.
>> massive restrictions on maximum permitted doses of vitamins and minerals.
>> massive restrictions on what can be said about any product with beneficial properties.
>> imposition of pharmaceutical-type standards, making it difficult for many truly natural products to comply.

Currently to the best of my knowledge, all these herbs and supplements are gradually disappearing from shelves little by little, classic totalitarian tip-toe style, shops are merely selling their current stock up until their sell by dates with no further products being produced to avoid shocking the consumer.
