Wild Animals Have a Growing Drug Problem
Posted February 14, 2020
Drugs are often a danger to human health, but they are also destroying the environment. Action Alert! Many of us are aware of the dangers prescription drugs pose to human health through their side effects, but a new analysis raises the alarm about a problem that doesn’t typically receive a lot of attention: the contamination of the environment with pharmaceutical residues. The threat to human health of this pharmaceutical pollution is unclear, but the analysis concludes there is a significant risk to freshwater ecosystems and the global food chain. Read more.
B12 Shots Banned?
Posted February 14, 2020
California is threatening to ban methylcobalamin shots, which sets a dangerous precedent. We must act now. Action Alerts! The California State Board of Pharmacy has proposed regulatory language that would block patient access to methylcobalamin (B12) injections, IV glutathione, intranasal glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, as well as numerous other medications. This serious threat to crucial medicines must be opposed immediately to prevent significant harm to patients suffering from debilitating illnesses. Read more.
ILLINOIS ACTION ALERT: Oppose Illinois State Bill That Would Restrict Access to Dietary Supplements
Posted January 30, 2020
State Representative Robyn Gabel is sponsoring a bill, HB-3948, that would require all businesses to place dietary supplements like liver and thyroid support products under lock and key. This would also include green tea and fiber capsules if they make weight management claims. These supplements could only be accessed by management-level store personnel. The Natural Products Association (NPA) is calling for a grassroots response to oppose this bill, which would limit health freedom. With many health conditions related to obesity, restricting access to natural weight management products is misguided and misinformed. Read more and TAKE ACTION to OPPOSE this bill and its attack on health freedom. Read HB 3948.
Making CAFOs a Thing of the Past
Posted January 17, 2020
A new bill seeks to change the way animals are raised in the US. It needs our support. Action Alert!
The Farm System Reform Act addresses a number of concerns we at ANH-USA have been writing about for years. The meat industry in the United States is dominated by a few large companies that demand animals be confined in close quarters and raised in squalid conditions. This bill would halt the dominance of CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operation) over the meat industry in the US. It would also return transparency to meat labeling. Read more.
FDA Leaves Cancer Patients in the Lurch
Posted January 17, 2020
What happens when you cross a proven natural treatment with a crony medical system? A monopoly. Action Alert!
New information has come to light that poses a threat for continued consumer access to intravenous vitamin C (IVC), a potent, safe, and natural treatment for viral and bacterial infections and some cancers. It is a blatant example of our crony medical system. If we don’t stand up and send a strong message to Congress and the FDA, affordable IVC will be a thing of the past. Read more.
Pharma Piracy Threatens Brain Health Supplement
Posted January 14, 2020
The FDA is complicit in turning another supplement into an expensive drug. Action Alert!
Earlier this year, the FDA fired off warning letters to seventeen companies that, in the agency’s view, were illegally marketing supplements to treat Alzheimer’s disease. One of the supplements targeted in the FDA’s action was piracetam, a derivative of GABA, continuing an FDA trend of attacking brain health supplements to protect drug industry profits. Read more.
Dr. Google Has Your Health Data
Posted January 14, 2020
Google is partnering with one of the largest hospital systems to collect, store, and analyze our health data. What could go wrong? Action Alert!
Google is partnering with Ascension, which operates 150 hospitals in 20 states, and could eventually upload all patient data to their cloud computing platform, according to news reports. Given Google’s breaches of patient privacy in the past, this could be a disaster. Read more.
“Flying Blind” with 5G
Posted January 3, 2020
Scientists are speaking out about the dangers of 5G, but government agencies are showing no signs of listening. Action Alert! Over the past months, we’ve been documenting the issues surrounding the launch of 5G networks. As we edge closer and closer to a wider rollout of this technology, more information is coming to light demonstrating the negative impact on human health that could result, not to mention the damage to wildlife and the environment. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is paving the way for this rollout and is apparently too beholden to the telecoms industry to care that we’re being used as guinea pigs in this experiment.

The Great Diabetes Lie
Posted January 3, 2020
Many of us are told that the development of diabetes is a personal failure. New research shows us why this couldn’t be more wrong. Action Alert! Intriguing research into the diabetes epidemic has shed new light on the main drivers behind this disease. Conventional wisdom tells us that sugar consumption, lack of exercise, and obesity are behind the surge in diabetes. While these are contributing factors, new work in this area implicates environmental toxins as a far more important cause of diabetes, including chemicals like BPA and phthalates that are found in many everyday consumer goods. And while the evidence mounts demonstrating the toll these chemicals are taking on our health, the government is stubbornly refusing to do anything about it. Read more.
