Vitamins, minerals and herbs should be freely available and easily accessible to all. They should be able to be recommended and dispensed firstly by practitioners who specialize solely in this area, not just by pharmacists or GPs. The only motivation I can see for this bill is to increase taxes and pharmaceutical company profits. The real harm from ingested products in our country is coming from alcohol which is behind a huge amount of physical and mental illness, abuse, violence and 'accidents'. Our government needs to urgently focus on controlling alcohol marketing and supply if they really want to improve the health of our people.
