The agency trashes a cheap, off-patent drug for COVID-19, clearing the way for a new blockbuster drug. Action Alert! The FDA recently issued a statement warning patients not to use the drug ivermectin, an off-patent drug for river blindness, to treat COVID-19, despite substantial evidence of its efficacy. The very next day, Merck announced positive results from a clinical trial on a new drug called molnupiravir in eliminating the virus in infected patients. Read more.

No More Babies?
Posted March 6, 2021
Experts warn we are facing a fertility crisis caused in large part by endocrine disrupting chemicals. Action Alert! The fertility crisis affects both men and women. Research has shown that sperm counts for men have fallen 59% from 1973 to 2011; girls are experiencing early puberty; adult women face declining egg quality and more miscarriages. The common thread between these problems appears to be exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals that are ubiquitous in the modern world, and if something isn’t done soon, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are imperiling the future of the human race.

US TAKE ACTION: Stop USDA from automatically approving all GMO animals!
Posted March 4, 2021
As one final favour to industrial meat companies, the Trump administration made a last ditch effort to move genetically engineered (GE) livestock regulations from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) responsibility just before their term ended. When FDA officials balked at such a rash move, former USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue went over their heads and signed an agreement with the head of Health and Human Services to move the review of most GE animals to USDA anyway.

Expanded Healthcare Options Eliminated
Posted February 19, 2021
Reforms implemented during the last administration have been rolled back. Action Alert! President Biden has signed an executive order rolling back a Trump administration order that expanded access to association health plans, short term health plans, and Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs). These reforms expanded options to health plans that are free from many Obamacare restrictions, and we have to fight to win them back. Read more.
Vit D Gets Nod from Congress
Posted February 19, 2021
We must support a new resolution that officially recognizes what the FDA and FTC refuse to acknowledge—that vitamin D can help us fight COVID. Action Alert! Congressman Glenn Grotham (R-WI) has introduced a House Resolution to “recognize the significant role vitamin D may play in the fight against COVID-19.” Read more.
Feds Sell Us Out on COVID Vaccine Injuries
Posted February 19, 2021
Thousands of patients who have been injured by COVID vaccines will find it extremely difficult to get compensated by the government. Action Alert!
Tens of thousands of Americans—and potentially many, many more—are being injured by COVID vaccines. But the federal program to compensate these victims, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), sets an extremely high bar for compensating claims, and is even more restrictive than the notoriously grueling process in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This is important information to consider when making the decision about COVID-19 vaccination. Read more.
Stop the Reckless GMO Mosquito Experiment in Florida!
Posted February 11, 2021
Florida plans to release over a billion genetically engineered mosquitoes into the Florida Keys, one of the most eco-sensitive areas in Florida. The GMO mosquitoes could reproduce with wild mosquitos and their release could have grave consequences, including impacts on the health of the humans they bite, creating more aggressive and virulent mosquitoes and potentially threatening endangered species in the Everglades and Florida Keys.

DC Shuts Out Parents
Posted February 11, 2021
DC wants to vaccinate without even telling parents. Congress must approve. Action Alert! The DC Council has approved a bill, DC B23-0171, that would allow children 11 and older to consent to vaccines without a parent’s knowledge. Congress has the power to reject legislation passed in the city of DC, so residents from California to New York can speak out and make a difference to the people living in DC. Read more.
Chemical Madness: EPA Shirking Duties on Pesticides
Posted February 11, 2021
The US lags behind other advanced countries in regulating dangerous chemicals, making us more susceptible to COVID and a host of other diseases. Action Alert! Thousands of pesticides, food additives, and cosmetic ingredients that are legal in the US are banned in the European Union, Brazil, and China—which may help explain in some part why Americans have lower life expectancy and higher COVID fatality rate than other comparable nations. The federal government’s deference to the chemical industry is completely unacceptable. Read more.
