The Canadian Coalition for Health Freedom [CCHF] was founded in 1997 by
The Canadian Health Food Association, The Canadian Coalition of Herbal Associations,
The Central Canadian Herbal Practitioner's Association, Citizens for Choice in Health
Care, The Canadian Naturopathic Association, The Canadian Complementary Medicine
Association and Friends of Freedom International and many others. Today, our vision
and mission is as follows:
-
To ensure that all sovereign spiritual human beings have the inherent sovereign right of informed freedom of
choice when considering their personal health care options and in pursuing their livelihood
in the profession and small family enterprises of their choice whether incorporated or not.
-
To educate and inform all sovereign spiritual human beings and sole and aggregate corporations about the simple
truth that the majority of modern day, chronic diseases can be prevented, treated and/or
even cured by each human being making informed, healthy choices.
-
To advocate for the appropriate regulatory environment by new legislation in order to
harmonize with the 1994 US Dietary Supplements Health Education Act [DSHEA] and to ensure
that our safe, effective, low risk dietary food supplements are not regulated as drugs and/or as a drug subclass.
-
To act as an umbrella coalition organization in order unite all concerned privately owned
small and medium family owned manufacturers, distributors, retailers, practitioners,
consumers and their respective organizations into a single focused voice to protect our
interests against Big Government and Big Business and their allies in “STATISM”.
-
To advocate for the necessary legislative, regulatory and policy changes to create a truly
level free market enterprise marketplace that nurtures and supports small and medium family
owned enterprises.
-
To advocate for all qualified non-allopathic health professionals in order to ensure that
they have the inherent right to practice medicine without censorship, prejudice and / or
interference from allopathic medical practitioners and/or their colleagues, regulatory
bodies and/or the government and / or others and that non-allopathic health practitioners
have the same rights and privileges as allopathic health care professionals.
-
To advocate for the consumers’ rights of informed freedom of choice in health care
and equal treatment under all legislation, regulations, policies including taxation, health
coverage and the provision of all publicly funded health services.
