Join us in requesting that Health Canada suspends the proposed fees discussion around #NHPs until the Self-Care Framework has been completed and the #NNHPD has cleared its current backlog.

If implemented, Health Canada’s proposed fees for natural health products will result in significant price increases and more NHPs being taken off the market, products that NDs’ patients rely on daily to manage their health. Share feedback on the proposal: bitly.ws/P7aw

#NDs apply the following principles, taking a proactive approach to health promotion and disease prevention: ​

- The Healing Power of Nature ​
- Identify and Treat the Cause ​
- Treat the Whole Person​
- Doctor as Teacher ​
- Prevention

Like a conventional doctor, a ND first completes an undergraduate degree at university before entering a four-year, full-time accredited naturopathic medical program. Graduates receive the title “N.D.” or Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. Visit cand.ca
