Are you concerned with healthcare in this country? Do you value your right to choose your own healthcare options? ANH-USA’s Online Action Center is here to help you make a difference!
Our online action center is easy to use, we have petitions and alerts set up that allow you to contact your Senators and Representatives directly and tell them that you want sustainable health and you value your right to choose.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
The Investigation
Defending Integrative Medicine in the United States
How many more doctors and alternative practitioners will be dragged before state medical boards and disciplined before we take action and work together to end this persecution of integrative medicine and natural practitioners forever?
Every year a new study comes out documenting the increasing [...]
The American Medical Association (AMA) is once again tampering with your health freedom.
AMA has agreed to support proposed legislation that could make having a planned birth in one’s home difficult, to virtually impossible.
While no actual legislation has been written, the AMA has agreed to back a measure called "Resolution 205," which is a request [...]
Some of the natural substances taken through the FDA approval process don’t appear to be dangerous. For example, Omacor, the FDA approved fish oil, is only a problem because it is so expensive compared to regular fish oil. All of us who pay Medicare taxes are bearing this cost since Medicare won’t reimburse any other [...]
From the 1950s on, the American population has been culturally conditioned that a magic bullet exists for every symptom that afflicts the human condition. Every pharmaceutical firm dreams of a blockbuster medication—a Claritin, a Lipitor, a Viagra.
With more Americans than ever taking prescription drugs, more and more people are asking for natural alternatives. The [...]
A bipartisan letter authored by Rep. Diane Watson (D-CA) and Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), and co-signed by congresswomen and men from twelve states, has been sent to the FDA urging them to require clear warnings about mercury toxicity to every dental patient, and to establish specific protections for children and young women.
For thirty years, FDA [...]
