Consumer-Driven Health Reform at Risk
Posted November 20, 2020
A number of consumer-friendly changes to health insurance are in danger of being reversed. We must protect them. Action Alert! We at ANH have written numerous articles on the burdensome regulations that prevent a consumer-friendly health insurance marketplace from developing. Over the last few years, a number of reforms have been accomplished that loosen the straight-jacket the Affordable Care Act has put us in to allow more choice in healthcare. We must demand that these changes be cemented into law. Read more.

Your Supplements on FDA’s Hit List
Posted November 20, 2020
A new regulation for supplements threatens access. Action Alert! The FDA is on the record supporting mandatory product listing for dietary supplements—that is, requiring each supplement manufacturer to register all the products it makes, including all the ingredients of those products, with the FDA. It’s a strong possibility that with a Democratic appointee—which could be anti-supplement crusader Dr. David Kessler—as FDA commissioner or Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), this dangerous regulation will be aggressively pursued. Make no mistake: this innocuous-sounding proposal could spell big trouble for supplement access. We must proactively oppose it. Read more.
GE Salmon Ruled Unlawful
Posted November 13, 2020
This is a major victory for American consumers. Action Alert! The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has ruled that the FDA violated environmental laws in approving genetically engineered (GE) salmon. This is a major victory, especially considering that, given the sham GE food labeling law that Congress passed, the GE salmon would not be required to have clear labeling that it was genetically altered.

Help Us Save Homeopathy!
Posted November 13, 2020
Help us support our allies in an effort to stop the FDA’s attack on this safe, natural form of medicine. Action Alert! Our friends at Americans for Homeopathy Choice have submitted a Citizens Petition to the FDA requesting that the agency reverse its recent actions with regard to homeopathic medicine. Upending decades of safe regulation, in 2018 the FDA released a draft guidance that essentially stated that all homeopathic drugs are illegal. We cannot let this attack against this safe and effective form of medicine go unchecked. Read more.
Biden Selects Anti-Supplement Crusader
Posted November 13, 2020
Dr. David Kessler, an anti-supplement crusader, drug industry adviser, and former FDA Commissioner, has been named to Biden’s COVID-19 task force. We must push back. Action Alert! Dr. Kessler has been named co-chair of President-elect Joe Biden’s COVID-19 task force. Dr. Kessler was FDA commissioner between 1990 and 1997. During that time, Kessler demonstrated his hostility towards the dietary supplement industry. Read more.

Commonly Used Chemicals Linked to Diabetes, Obesity, Liver Disease
Posted November 4, 2020
New research demonstrates the dramatic impact of chemical exposures on our genes that control cellular metabolism. Action Alert! Researchers have found that chemical exposures influence our genes that control aging, immune function, metabolism, and more in stunning new findings. This research adds to our growing understanding of the profound impact exposure to even small amounts of chemicals like BPA can have on our health, underscoring the need to avoid these substances and for our government to act more aggressively to protect the public rather than kowtowing to industry.

Natural Remedies Censored While FDA Approves High-Cost, Ineffective COVID Drug
Posted November 4, 2020
Remdesivir, the drug that had almost no effect on COVID mortality, has been FDA-approved to treat COVID. Action Alert! Remdesivir was touted by the government for months as the new “standard of care” before being the first treatment to receive FDA-approval to treat COVID. While the drug has been shown to reduce the hospital stays of patients with mild to severe COVID-19 cases from 15 days to 10 days, a large World Health Organization study led researchers to conclude that the drug has “little or no effect on mortality.” Read more.
