Clock Ticking for Supplements
Posted July 27, 2021
The FDA could be preparing to unleash an anti-supplement policy as early as next year that could eliminate tens of thousands of products from the market—in the middle of a pandemic. Action Alert! Recently, the FDA announced that, by the end of June 2022, it plans to release drafts or final versions of a number of policies, and among them is the “new dietary ingredient” (NDI) guidance (“new supplement” guidance, in plain English).

Why the FDA is Attacking NAC Supplements
Posted July 22, 2021
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been on the market as a supplement for decades—why is the FDA attacking it now? Action Alert! A few weeks ago, we told you about the FDA’s recent actions threatening NAC supplements—products which the FDA has allowed on the market for decades. The question is, why now, after all these years, is the FDA doing this? Digging a bit deeper, it seems obvious that 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.

New Bill to Update Vaccine Court
Posted July 15, 2021
A new bill would reform the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), but falls far short of fixing this broken program. Action Alert! The bill includes many important reforms, like increasing the cap on compensations and extending the statute of limitations on injuries from three to five years, among other things we will detail below. But there is no escaping that VICP is a fundamentally broken system that leaves many vaccine-injured families in the lurch. We must push for more robust reforms to VICP so real justice can be served to families who need it. Read more.
Do You Know What’s In Your Makeup?
Posted July 15, 2021
New research shows that many cosmetics contain dangerous chemicals with known human health risks. Action Alert! Cosmetics is a $20 billion industry, but companies aren’t transparent about the fact that a high percentage of these products are made with PFAS, or “forever” chemicals that cause a host of human health and environmental problems. But you wouldn’t know it in most cases because the products do not disclose these ingredients on their labels. Read more.
The Future of COVID Vaccines
Posted July 15, 2021
Will we get the data necessary to be able to make informed choices about COVID vaccination? Action Alert! A number of weeks ago, our friends at ANH International released a white paper detailing how autoimmune patients are at an increased risk of serious adverse events from COVID vaccination. As such, autoimmune patients have a legitimate medical reason to seriously consider not receiving the COVID vaccine, despite strong societal pressure to do so in order to fully participate in the re-opening of the country.

CAFOs Kill 17,000 a Year
Posted June 17, 2021
…by emitting harmful pollutants in the air while the EPA does nothing. Action Alert! A new study has linked air pollution emanating from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to more than 17,000 deaths in the United States. Despite this death toll, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given CAFOs a pass on adherence to federal laws designed to monitor and control such pollution. It’s time to hold CAFOs accountable for the damage they cause. Read more.
B12 on the FDA’s Hot Seat
Posted June 10, 2021
An FDA advisory committee could soon decide the fate of compounded B12 shots. Action Alert! One June 9th, 2021, the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) will meet to discuss whether traditional compounding pharmacies will be permitted to make medicines with methylcobalamin, choline chloride, and melatonin, among others. That compounded methylcobalamin, a bioavailable form of vitamin B12, is on the chopping block is particularly concerning, as it has shown promise in the treatment of autism and other health problems.

A research review from the National Institute of Health (NIH) shows the promise of dietary supplements in fighting COVID-19 yet concludes there isn’t enough evidence to recommend them. Huh? Action Alert! Read more.
Zapping Your Brain with WiFi
Posted June 2, 2021
More concerning trends exposing us to increased levels of radiation. Action Alert! For the first time, researchers wirelessly recorded the brain activity of Parkinson’s patients, using the information to adjust the level of stimulation delivered by an implanted device. But do these technologies pose more problems than they solve? Scientists are sounding the alarm about the dangers of prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) given off by these devices—cell phones, smart-watches like the Apple Watch, laptops—now they want to insert similar technology in human brains. This is truly frightening! Read more.
