This is the direction the federal government is taking us. We must oppose it. Action Alert! Late last year, the FDA released a draft guidance document that will loosen the reigns on some types of medical software. This development is part of a larger trend in which artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies take on a more central role in the doctor/patient relationship.

The Great HPV Lie
Posted February 27, 2020
Disturbing evidence on HPV from a country where most young women have received the vaccine. Action Alert! A recent UK study looking at the clinical trials underlying the efficacy of the HPV vaccine found “significant uncertainties undermining claims of efficacy in [the] data.” This is the latest to come out about a vaccine that has been linked with many adverse events and negative health effects.

Posted February 26, 2020
A new analysis shows US water systems are widely contaminated with “forever chemicals,” but the EPA isn’t doing anything about it. Action Alert! A recent analysis from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that America’s drinking water is extensively contaminated with toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS.

Posted February 26, 2020
This search engine monopolist is preventing you from learning about natural health, and instead promoting prescription drugs. Action Alert! Last year, we told you about the aggressive censorship campaign that Google and other Internet gatekeepers have embarked upon. This censorship is preventing Americans from learning about the benefits of natural health from some of the most reliable and trustworthy voices, such as Dr. Joseph Mercola.

The Clock is Ticking for Homeopathy
Posted February 21, 2020
This could be our last chance to defend access to homeopathic treatments. Action Alert! The FDA has extended the comment period on its completely unacceptable guidance that shifts how the agency will regulate homeopathic medicines. While the agency says that it will exercise enforcement discretion and focus on certain categories of homeopathic drugs, the wording of the guidance, in fact, says that all homeopathic drugs are currently being marketed illegally, leaving the door open for the agency to take action against any and all products. Concerned consumers must make their voices heard to stop this draconian guidance from moving forward. 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.
