The Detail, Emile Donovan speaks to Mitchell, and to Mark Honeychurch from the Society for Science-based Healthcare, about the lax regulations and enforcement of natural medications in New Zealand. Our rules around medications and supplements is a matter of language. If you re selling a product which claims to have a therapeutic purpose - as in, something that will cure or correct an ailment - it falls under the Medicines Act of 1981, and must meet stringent requirements. In order to sell a pill which you say nullifies headaches, you have to prove it does, in fact, nullify headaches.
