In over nine years of publishing Positive Health, I had never before been telephoned directly by the Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency (MHRA), previously called the Medicines Control Agency (MCA). Not until yesterday, that is.

Those of us who wish to protect our health and that of our families and patients are definitely on a collision course with the 'Big Brother' authorities – multinational pharmaceutical companies, globalization entities such as CODEX, the European Parliament, even UK governmental agencies such as the Food Standards Agency (FSA) which has released a report warning that people could damage their health by overdosing on high dose vitamin pills.
