Petition to save herbal medicine in Europe

To European practitioners and public: please sign this petition from the Alliance for Natural Health to save herbal medicine in Europe. Bring the battle to your elected representatives: they, not the so-called regulatory agencies, are ultimately responsible to reverse this gross infringement of our freedoms.

An EU directive has banned many herbal medicines, denying us safe remedies and feeding the profits of big pharma. Let's raise a massive outcry to push the Commission to reverse the Directive. Let's get to 1 million voices to save herbal medicine. Add your name here:

European Union

This is particularly for UK practitioners (who are of course also UK taxpayers). If you want to get an idea of the madness and lack of accountability of the European Union, watch this:

Ah yes, and in the middle of this financial, economic and banking crisis, what is the European Union concerned with? Why, of course, the marketing of herbal remedies..

APPEAL TO EUROPEAN HERBAL PRACTITIONERS AND PUBLIC

The draconian European Directive on herbal medicines is coming into force very soon (at the end of April). This will stop the sale of herbal remedies. We must all make our voice heard to stop this infringement of our freedoms that is being pushed by the European Union under the influence of pharmaceutical multinationals. Please support the Alliance for Natural Health, the Benefyt Foundation and the European Herbal Practitioners Alliance. Please watch the video http://www.savenaturalhealth.eu/ and sign the petition.
