WHAT WE CAN  DO
 
 
 Our goal is to develop a multi-faceted strategy for influencing public opinion and government policy.

With a national organization and a wealth of experts, we are in a position to speak with great credibility.

We plan to:

Be a source of expert information on issues pertaining to health.

Be in a position to advise governments on ways to base health policies on the best available scientific evidence.

Offer a critical and authoritative opinion on “alternative” or “complementary” medicine.

Supply the media with information regarding  adverse health outcomes or financial exploitation due to the use of unproven therapies.

Explore the implications of companies making false health claims about “alternative” health products or modalities.

Members in different regions may wish to contribute as they see fit to local or national issues.

Canadians for Rational Health Policy (CRHP) can, as a group, lend weight to efforts to make positive changes in each area of concern.
