Please ask the FDA’s
Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee to bar the sale of AquAdvantage
salmon because of both the documented and the unknown health risks
associated with genetically modified organisms.
Please demand that the
FDA, if it approves the application for AquAdvantage salmon, ensure
that all such fish are clearly labeled as genetically modified at the
point of sale.
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.
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.
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.
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!

U.S. District Court Judge Robert Junell ruled on August 30 that “it is in the best interest of public health” to uphold the legality of compounded drugs. In the past, FDA had proposed that, even though it is impossible to do so, compounded medicines must meet the same new drug requirements to which mass produced, [...]
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 [...]
Thousands of cases of breast and colon cancers might be averted each year if people in colder climates raised their vitamin D levels, researchers estimate in a new report.
A number of studies have suggested that vitamin D may be important in cancer risk. Much of this research is based on cancer rates at different latitudes [...]
