CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REPORT MAY 2007. Patrick Fahy

You have until 15 June 2007 to make your voice heard!

You may have noticed increased press coverage on safety issues relating to dietary supplements over the last few months. An example of this propaganda is the recent article in which scientists are warning about the dangers of popping too many supplements. Researchers at Chicago's National Cancer Institute have found men who overdo it with multivitamins run a higher risk of prostate cancer. The study found men who consumed more than seven capsules a week increased their risk of advanced cancer by about 30%.
This anti-supplement press is part of a deliberate campaign by pharmaceutical interests to skew public opinion against natural health products to frighten people away from consulting natural healthcare practitioners while steering them towards orthodox medicine and pharmaceuticals. Millions of dollars are being spent worldwide on these campaigns and the data being presented is often seriously misrepresented.

However it seems that the general public are wiser than this as interest in natural health continues to expand as many are disillusioned with the ethics, results and side effects associated with pharmaceutical drugs. It is heartening to see concerned public taking part in the protest rallies and marches around the country. Obviously these people are concerned enough to demonstrate to their government that they are appalled with the blatant global attack on their Health Freedom.

Thousands of protesters have turned out around New Zealand as the campaign continues against planned new rules on the sale of natural health products and dietary supplements.
Those totally opposed to the implementation of the Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill, currently before parliament, say creating a single trans-Tasman regulator will erode New Zealand's sovereignty. They are concerned the legislation will erode consumer rights by allowing an Australian entity to have sole charge of industry regulation. The protesters canvassed by the press believe that heavy handed over controlling regulation from an Australian controlled bureaucracy is the last straw as people must have the right to choose the therapies and medicines best suited to their own needs. Marches and rallies have been held in Auckland, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Christchurch, Dunedin and Whangarei.

Annette King sponsor of the ‘Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill continues to mislead the media with her half-truths basing her arguments on subjective belief that the proposed level of regulation is “appropriate” to the level of risk that natural health products pose.
The minister continues to assert that Traditional “Rongoa Maori will not be regulated” under the legislation. The indisputable fact is that there is no exemption in the Bill for Traditional Rongoa Maori, in fact it is not mentioned in the Bill at all. What the minister continues to assert is that individual remedies made up on a one-off basis may be excluded, but as soon as practitioners want to use a remedy for multiple patients, or commercialise a traditional remedy, it would be caught by the legislation. It appears that the once you cut through the ministers carefully constructed spin, it is clear to those of us who can actually see exactly what this government’s Bill will deliver to the small and medium-sized companies that comprise two-thirds of the New Zealand natural health sector if enacted - will be thrown to the wall, while the larger multinational companies represented by Natural Products NZ - a minority industry body who continue to claim that they represent over 80% of the natural health sector - another fabricated half-truth have divided the natural health sector by presenting misleading press releases to the public, however there is always an agenda behind every story and  these companies will have a bigger piece of the pie and do very nicely at the same time - if this joint agency manifests.
