The Big Pharma has almost achieved eliminate all its competitors. From April 1, 2011 all the medicinal herbs become illegal in the European Union . The U.S. approach is different but has the same devastating effect. People can only medicate with products generated by this industry, with no other option, and paying the prices they want. The Pharmaceutical Industry and Agribusiness will have completed the process in March to take each of the aspects related to health, we need to consume food. This promises to end the poor health that we have.
begin in April Innocents
joke is the most ruthless of all time, the European Directive on Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products (THMPD) was adopted on March 31, 2004 (1). He set standards for the use of herbal products that were previously used freely.
This directive requires all herbal preparations the same procedures as those used for pharmaceuticals. Even if the herb has been used as a remedy for thousands of years. The costs to get this approval are high, that only large companies can support (About 80,000 to 120,000 pounds of grass), and every herb that is part of a compound must be tested individually.
Never mind that a herb has been used safely and effectively for a long time. Receive the same treatment as a drug. Herbs are unrelated to this process. Are preparations made from biological sources. They are not purified, it could change its nature and efficacy, as with the food. Would be a distortion of nature and a change in use as medicines. The European Union has advocated corporatism since its inception.
Dr. Robert Verk k the Alliance for Natural Health describes the problem on the requirement of conformity of an herb as a medicine:
The request is the European Union to traditional herbal medicine is like trying to put a square peg into a round connector. The regulations does not take into account the specific tradition. Consideration should quickly if this policy does not discriminate against certain cultures and is a violation of Human Rights (2)
commercial law
To better understand what can happen, you should consult the Companies Law, which has been the center of all movements to place the food and medicines under the control of agribusiness and the pharmaceutical industry.
If you have been aware of what happened in the United States about raw milk and the claims of the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, will have noticed that through the Commission has been Federal Trade Commission (FTC), part of the process.
Rather than trying traditional medicines as a human rights issue, they have been treated from a commercially. This happy to large corporations, ignoring the wishes and needs of people. The FDA has acted absurd, as in the claim of Cheerios, which nuts become drugs because of the health claims made that company.
The purpose of this is creating a world safe for mega-corporations and free trade. And health needs of people is a factor not taken into consideration.
how to fight this invasion in Our Health and Welfare
is not to reach agreement. If you value being able to access the use of herbs, vitamins or other supplements, you should take some action. Although it may seem meaningless, consider them if you really care about this issue. Should the right to refuse medical treatment and how to keep your body healthy choice?
ANH has faced actively against this invasion. Have gone to court in an attempt to halt the entry into force of Directive THMPD. You may succeed, but history tells us that no legal maneuver will stop this heavy mass. We can not sit and wait to see the results. We need to see their efforts as a whole, in which all we play a role.
We must take action. If you live in Europe, please send a letter or message to the members of Parliament. Here you can see who are members of Parliament and contact addresses. Tell clearly supports the actions of ANH in its attempt to suspend the entry into force of the THMPD and expected to adopt an attitude of respect for the rights of individuals to choose their herbal treatments.
If you find it hard to write such a letter is a model at the end of this article. Feel free to use.
Perhaps then no wonder why we did not, why waste time watching a reality show instead of worrying about this issue.
actively protesting just maybe we can stop this travesty. If we are apathetic, then nothing will oppose the wishes of the Pharmaceutical Industry. Our right to protect our health and our children is at stake. No time to lose!

Model Letter:
SUBJECT: Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive
Dear ... ... ... ... ... ... ....
I use traditional medicinal remedies, those that have been used in Europe and other countries around the world for thousands of years.
To date no product Traditional Herbal Medicine of China and India (Ayurveda) has been approved according to rules established by the Herbal Medicinal Products Directive. I worry that traditional medicinal plants, that have been used as supplementary food, are prohibited from March 31, 2011, upon expiration of the transition phase.
are urgent changes to this Directive so as to suit traditional herbal culture.
Please do what is in their hands for this directive is not adopted in the current terms, as this would be an irreparable loss, culturally, and for our health, after thousands of years in which have been using plants as natural remedies.
Sincerely,
(Incorporated noticiasdeabajo.worpress).
