July 27th, 2010: AMA’s Government-Protected Monopoly Squeezes Out Alternative Medicine
The world of medicine is run by billing codes. Every hospital, doctor, and practitioner who accepts insurance or Medicare uses billing codes so they can be reimbursed. But where are the codes for integrative and alternative medical services?
July 27th, 2010: The Little Purple Pill Problem
Forbes magazine calls it “a parable of what’s wrong with health care [costs].” We think that the popular drug Nexium is a scandal for a different reason – what it does to your digestion.
July 20th, 2010: Doctors Threatened With Jail
For decades, doctors have been in the crosshairs of trial lawyers. Now they are increasingly in the crosshairs of prosecutors threatening jail sentences.
July 13th, 2010: Children Are Being Exploited to Extend Pharmaceutical Patents
Want to protect your kids from high cholesterol? Just give ’em drugs—like the new, chewable form of Lipitor. Yes, chewable. Like candy. A new Action Alert asks Congress to repeal a really rotten law that encourages this.
July 13th, 2010: Supplements Still in Peril
Over the past year, we fought four different Congressional bills that would have affected your access to supplements. In our Action Alert, we need your help to educate our lawmakers, most of whom know little or nothing about existing supplement regulation or why supplements are not drugs.
Take Action!
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Members of Congress listen to what you say. Each time they are contacted it represents 1,000 voices. Are you concerned with healthcare in this country? Make your voice heard and create change!
Tell Congress to stop letting drug companies extend patents by testing drugs on children!
We are raising a generation of drugged children. They’re getting drugs for ADHD, for diabetes, for high blood pressure, for asthma, for obesity, and now for high cholesterol. We’re giving them drugs instead of encouraging them to eat a healthy diet, or to leave their computers and televisions and go out and play and get some vigorous exercise.
Tell Congress that Supplements Are Not Drugs!
It’s time to take the offense on the supplement issue in Congress. We have been in a defensive posture for too long. What’s needed now is a major campaign to educate our senators and congressional representatives that supplements are very different from drugs, and should not be treated the same way.
Support the Free Speech about Science Act
This landmark legislation,introduced by Cong. Chaffetz (R,UT) and Cong. Polis (D,CO) protects basic free speech rights, ends
censorship of science, and enables the natural health products community
to share peer-reviewed scientific findings about natural health
products with the public. Contact your Representative and ask them to co-sponsor this bill.
Send A Message To PBS Frontline! What Frontline Covered Up In Their Biased Report On “The Vaccine War”
PBS Frontline recently interviewed
the noted pediatrician at length for its show “The Vaccine War.” Although Dr. Gordon spent hours
interviewing with Frontline, PBS producers cutthe entire “third camp” approach to vaccinations and then refused even to post the interview on the show’s website. Please join us in our demand
that PBS Frontline accurately and honestly present the views of Dr. Jay Gordon
on its website.
Nanotechnology has no place in organic food
Nanotechnology, the process
of manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular level, has no place in
organic food. Like genetic modification, it is the antithesis of the organic
concept. Mounting scientific
evidence indicates that nanomaterials have the potential to harm DNA and damage
organs.
Protect Individualized Medicine
Individualized medicine allows a practitioner to develop patient-specific strategies based on an individual’s composition to better prevent, diagnose, and treat health conditions. The current mainstream medical model is a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. ANH-USA has been a strong advocate for individualized medicine – which is the cornerstone of an ‘integrative medical model’ where an individual’s whole body is assessed.
Tell FDA You Do NOT Support the Ban on P5P!
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering a petition filed by a pharmaceutical company. They’re requesting a ban on dietary supplements containing pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (P5P), a bio-active and natural form of vitamin B6.
Senator McCain Files New Bill Attacking Your Access to Supplements
Senator McCain has filed a new bill that attacks your access to supplements and would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. Please contact your senators now. Tell them not to co-sponsor this exceptionally bad bill and instead help to defeat it!
Senate Food Safety Bill
As written, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (S.510) would add a new layer of regulation to even the smallest food producers. The rules that would apply to large, corporate food companies would also apply to family food producers across rural America, which are already regulated at the state and local level. The amendments offered by Sen. Jon Tester (D–MT) would reduce red tape and over-regulation of the already beleaguered small farmer or food producer.
Please contact your senators and tell them that you support the Tester amendments!
Please contact your senators and tell them that you support the Tester amendments!
Reform the FDA
In 2008, the US government released a 60 page report entitled: FDA Science and Mission at Risk. It outlined problems with the FDA that have not been fixed. Sign our petition to make the FDA accountable to all Americans.
Vitamin D Petition
ANH-USA is petitioning the federal government (CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS) to break their shameful silence about Vitamin D and to educate the American Public about Vitamin D’s key role in the prevention and treatment of the flu and many other health conditions. Please join our petition! We will need many thousands of signatures to get the government's attention!
Act Now to Protect Your Access to Natural Health Information!
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to abolish Structure/Function Claims and Qualified Health Claims. If Structure/Function and Qualified Health Claims disappeared, Americans would have even less information than they do today about the potential health benefits of foods and supplements. Drugs would be the only game in town, no matter how expensive and how dangerous they might be.
Express Your Concern over AP Bias Against Integrative Medicine
In support of efforts by Natural News to ensure balanced reporting on integrative medicine, we request that you voice your concerns over biased Associated Press (AP) reporting and help educate them about the great benefits from integrative and alternative therapies.
Say NO to a Glaxo Monopoly on Weight Loss Products!
GlaxoSmithKline has also asked the FDA to create a monopoly for them on all over-the-counter weight loss supplements. If the FDA grants Glaxo’s request, the only weight loss aid you will be able to get without a prescription is one made by Glaxo which is now being investigated for causing liver damage—and this is after it went through the FDA’s drug approval process!
Tell the FDA to Ban Antibiotics for Animal Growth!
The US Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidance on June 28 for reducing the use of growth-promoting antibiotic drugs for meat-producing animals. Their concern is that the antimicrobials contribute to drug resistance in humans, which could then lead to the development of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
