Cell Phone Safety Fraud
How industry and government are endangering the public on cell phone safety. Action Alert! One of the only ways that the government regulates cell phones for safety—by limiting the amount of radiation they can emit—is completely broken and inadequate, with children facing the most risk. Industry does its own testing on emissions and can manipulate the test in a variety of ways. The end result is that the amount of radiation the vast majority of Americans are absorbing from cell phones is higher than what industry is reporting. Read more.
Unvaccinated Barred from ALL Air Travel?
A new bill in Congress would limit air travel to only vaccinated individuals. Action Alert! The bill seeks to “ensure that any individual traveling on a flight that departs from or arrives to an airport inside the United States” is fully vaccinated against COVID-19. This is precisely the kind of discrimination we were talking about in our Right to kNOw campaign— protecting people with autoimmune disorders who have a legitimate medical reason to choose not to vaccinate. This bill is a direct assault on the freedom of millions of Americans, and it must be stopped. Read more.
FDA Expands Supplement Attack, Targets Hemp Oil
The FDA is signaling a change in how supplements are regulated that threatens not just hemp oil, but the entire industry. Action Alert! The FDA recently rejected two “new supplement” notifications for full spectrum hemp oil products. Previously the agency targeted CBD oil, stating that CBD is not a dietary supplement. These new actions are extremely concerning since they indicate that the FDA will block other hemp products from the market in addition to CBD. Read more.
FDA Overreach on Hold, Temporarily
Posted August 13, 2021
The FDA has delayed implementation of a bad rule that will limit access to customized medicines like bioidentical estriol and progesterone that millions of women rely on. Action Alert! The FDA recently announced that it will extend by one year — to October 27, 2022 — the date on which it will begin enforcement of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with states regarding interstate shipments of compounded medications. This is a direct result of ANH and other stakeholder advocacy on this issue. Read more.
Ivermectin: Crony Capitalist Case Study
Posted August 13, 2021
Ivermectin has shown tremendous promise in the fight against COVID-19, but governments around the world attack and discredit those who promote its use. Action Alert! “Why is the FDA attacking a safe, effective drug?” asks a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Despite dozens of studies demonstrating the promise of ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19, the government continues to attack its use in the pandemic. One likely reason is that widespread use of ivermectin as prophylaxis against COVID undermines vaccine uptake as well as the legal basis for emergency use authorization (EUA) for the vaccines.

Feds Attack Medical “Disinformation”
Posted August 13, 2021
The government wants to decide what information you can see during COVID and beyond. Action Alert! A recently-introduced bill in Congress would amend the law to make companies like Facebook and Twitter legally liable for promoting “health misinformation” during a declared public health emergency—a term which will be defined by the government. This is a disastrous attack on free speech that must be opposed. Read more.
Supplement Sneak Attack Update
Posted August 13, 2021
What became of Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) attempt to pass more regulations on dietary supplements. Action Alert! Recently we alerted ANH members about another supplement sneak attack from Senator Durbin that would institute a mandatory listing requirement for dietary supplements. The good news is that Sen. Durbin has, so far, held off on introducing this legislation, so ANH member advocacy alongside other stakeholder actions have likely deterred him. We are, however, continuing to reach out to Congress to oppose mandatory listing for supplements since we know Sen. Durbin is still looking for an opportunity get it through. Read more.
Pressure Congress on Homeopathy
Posted August 6, 2021
Help us build support in Congress to save homeopathy from the FDA’s overreach. Action Alert! We’ve been telling you over the last few years about the recent FDA guidance that threatens the future of homeopathic medicines in the US. Upending decades of safe regulation, FDA released a draft guidance in 2017 that essentially stated that all homeopathic drugs are illegal. Read more.
Will Congress Halt FDA’s NAC Attack?
Posted August 6, 2021
The FDA’s recent actions against a critical supplement have spurred some in Congress to action. We must build more support on Capitol Hill to protect access. Action Alert! Over the last few months, we’ve been telling you about the FDA’s attack against N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an important antioxidant supplement. We believe the FDA is clearing the market of affordable NAC supplements in an effort to eliminate competition for NAC drugs that could be coming to market in the next few years. Read more.
