URGENT email campaign to protect traditional medicine

We  have until MONDAY, June 25 TO ACT!

We thought we’d won and protected the future of traditional medicine, but it looks like the win is under threat. Now we need to act again, and quickly!

Senators who voted in February to protect the use of traditional medicine claims on natural medicines, are under pressure to backflip.

Skeptics and anti-complementary medicine activists are supporting a last-ditch campaign to try to persuade Senators to move a Disallowance Motion by June 25.

If successful it would see warning labels placed on natural medicines.

Tell Senators you want the current law upheld and traditional use claims protected.

Email your Senators

 Be sure to ask your friends and family to visit Your Health Your Choice sign the petition and have their say.

What's at risk?

• Private Health Insurance rebates for natural therapies to be cut April 2019.
• Labor will introduce a GST TAX on natural medicine and therapies.
• Anti-complementary medicine lobby groups continue attempts to influence health policy.
• Positive evidence ignored in Government-funded research.
• Educational courses are being shut down and practitioners unable to access ingredients.

Why?

Behind all of these drastic cuts and proposed changes are Government-funded reports that declare there is NO evidence that 17 natural therapies from yoga to naturopathy are effective. The Government is using the reports to justify restricting your choice in healthcare.

• We want to know why the Government is ignoring world-wide, positive scientific evidence.
• We want a Senate Inquiry to scrutinise these reports starting with the very first report that is now the subject of a complaint to the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
