Warnings on Natural Products – should you worry?

Question:

Sorry to have to ask about this but pretty important for my health.

I was going to start Para Pak tomorrow, full moon as you suggested.

HOWEVER I read the “Risk Information” and it would appear not many (if anyone) should take the supplements. One of the reasons I want to take this is I am quite sure my issue is parasites. I have taken a course of Wormwood and digestive enzymes and had some relief thought this might clear every thing up. I still have diarrhea although I get to sleep all night now YAY!!! The Risk Info warns against taking Para Pak if you have that. Can you give me some guidance? Have you ever read the Risk Info? It’s extensive!!! Do you have clients who’ve taken it? Are they house bound for the entire time?

TIA!

Answer:

Not a problem to ask this, as yes, it is important. I do get this question once in awhile, and finally found the time to write  a post on it.
 

Yes, we have used this product, Para Pak for 20- 25 years, at least, with very good results.
Nothing has changed in all those years. EXCEPT unHealth Canada warnings. Every time they want to make work for themselves, get a raise, get bonuses, or please the BIg Pharma lobbyists (Millions of $ of bribes every year), they apply new regulations, new warnings, new fake “adverse effects”. They have never been capable if divulging any details, medical reports to show any evidence of any harm from herbs or other natural supplements.

 
There has been one I can remember in 30+ years. A “natural” supplement approved by unHealth Canada, was found to contain a diet drug. It was pulled.It was not from a reputable company like Nature’s Sunshine, which has the been the leader in Quality since 1972.
 
There has never been one proven death nor serious side effect in Canada from approved natural health products that are from quality sources.
 
Compare this to hundreds of drugs that are pulled every year due to serious side effects, including death.  There  more than 100,000 documented  adverse events every year from pharmaceuticals.  Many millions more since Covid. You were unfortunately one victim of this corrupt system. And you know how hard it is to get a doctor to submit one of those adverse reaction reports, right?
 
This constant change costs the health food industry and therefore the consumers inordinate price increases in natural products, which are our birthright.In Canada, Bill C-37, clauses 500-504 are just another example. Millions of Canadians have responded to this, and it will likely become  an election issue.

Rather than testing product suppliers like they used to, they just blanket all products with Risk warnings.
 
Luckily, I have the fact sheet from 2004 for this exact SAME product, which I sent you.

You will notice there are NO warnings. Every  2 or 3, or 5 years,  the warnings increase. And you are absolutely right – if people believe these cautions, no one would take any natural supplement.
 
Hmmm…..do you wonder if that is the idea behind this?
 
If people ever read the counter-indications for any pharmaceutical, they would never take a drug either, which would be a good thing. Unfortunately this door doesn’t swing both ways. I find this puzzling when one looks at any warnings on pharmaceuticals. Most include multiple serious adverse effects, and many conclude with, “….and may cause death”. Doesn’t seem to stop anyone.
 
And you well know,  who lobbies, rather bribes, unHealth Canada? Of Course, pharmaceuticical companies. They do not want any competition.
 
The good news is – more people are learning – latest surveys say at least 74% Canadians are using natural health products. These are the wise ones who question and discern.

Somewhat like mainstream news – believe the opposite.

 

PS     If you get  “housebound”, from this, or any other detox or cleanse, just slow down the dosage -and  please contact us if you have any further questions.

Success Stories / Raising Healthy Children

One mother of three was just relating how much her children love the new natural gummies Super Hero Multi Vitamin and Minerals. She also noticed that while taking them her children were not sick like most of their friends; when they ran out they started coming down with the “bugs” – they are back on them now and feeling great again!  JS

Political Scene

Yes it is happening in Canada! Dr. Eldon Dahl, the Alberta,ND whose home was raided at gun point:

The letters that people are writing to MPs, Minister of health and Harper, are starting to make a difference, but thousands more are needed to stop this government from taking away more of our natural supplements. Since 2004, only 25,900 out of 57,200 applications have received approval. This means we have already lost more than 60% of our supplements. This is costing Canadians 3 times: Health Canada’ s bureaucratic wages, increased cost to consumers, increased cost to our Health Care System.            PLEASE write a quick letter to:

The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq

Minister of Health
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON
K1A 0A6 (Tel :  613-992-2848 Fax :  613-996-9764)

Write your personal story here and questions or concerns. It can be brief; their answers won’t say much, so don’t waste too much time – it is the numbers of letters that count, as each one comes from a voter!

Ask for a response, include your name and complete address
