The International Strategic Alliance Inaugural Dinner

You are invited to learn more about the International Strategic Alliance, formed by Jonathan Emord, the Alliance for Natural Health International, the Canadian Natural Health Collective and Herb Works, to promote integrative medicine and dietary supplements.
Who Are We? globalteam
The International Strategic Alliance is committed to working proactively on an international scale to promote integrative medicine and dietary supplements through litigation, education and collaboration.
Natural products are being attacked through legislation, the regulatory system, and in courts throughout the United States and abroad. It is time to fight back.
We can’t transform the current medical monopoly to one that embraces natural health products by acting defensively. We must execute a proactive strategy that gets to the very heart of the problem to the cause. We must challenge the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authority, for example, as opposed to continuing to challenge their rulings one by one.
To this end, Emord & Associates, on behalf of ANH International’s U.S. office (ANH-USA), has filed three lawsuits against the FDA, seeking to expand permissible, qualified health claims and protect manufacturers from archaic rules that deem any product “adulterated” for mere recordkeeping violations. ANH-USA is also working with Congress to introduce a bill that would permit manufacturers to cite peer-reviewed, scientific literature in support of the benefits of their products in the marketplace. Our European and Canadian counterparts are working on equally critical, proactive measures.

Thompson (D.C.D.C. 2002) cases, holding FDA censorship of nutrient-disease relationship claims unconstitutional.
