Practitioners

Practitioners—you are the leading edge—you are most at risk! 

Medical Doctors, Diet and Nutritional Approaches, Bodywork and Manipulative Approaches, Healers and Lightworkers, Herbalists, Homeopaths, Energy Medicine Practitioners, Acupuncture and Acupressure Approaches, and all other modalities and traditional approaches..

Your natural health business is more under threat than ever before...

European Union laws are set to begin banning your most useful and therapeutic or cutting-edge nutrients, herbs, foods and other natural health products. Also, your ability to inform your clients about natural health products will be severely restricted.   

The more useful and helpful they are to your clients, the more likely they are to eventually become illegal!

This special 5 day course will not be available again until 2014

About the course

March 2012: Health Claims Veto Campaign latest!

EU health claims battle lost, but war far from over

You have a fundamental right to the information that will help you to understand what you are eating and drinking; to give you the ability to make informed choices; and ultimately, to have control over your health and wellbeing.

We would like to thank all practitioners who took the time and trouble to write to their MEPS to try to convince them that a veto of the health claims proposal was necessary. So what happens next, you might ask? Watch this space, and we will let you know what our next move should be!

April 2012

There are two key actions that you can help with, one intended for European consumers, the other for food supplement companies. Please sign up to the following, accordingly:

Consumers, please sign the petition (14,899 at the time of writing) at:  www.sup.nl/petition

Food supplement companies, please join the signatory list (344 companies at the time of writing) established by the European Health Claims Alliance: www.healthclaimsletter.org

ANH Comment: This section is regularly updated.  Although initial focus has been given to UK and European practitioners given the severity of some of the EU legislation, this section will develop further to feature key risks, where they exist, to practitioners globally.  We ask for your patience, whilst we build what we feel will become a key information source for practitioners.
