Think You Are Safe from 5G? Think Again!
Posted July 3, 2020
The feds want to extend 5G expansion into small, rural communities. Action Alert! The federal government is working on multiple fronts to make it easier for 5G towers to be installed in rural communities. We must push back against these and other efforts to expand 5G deployment. Read more.
FDA: A Case Study in Cronyism
Posted July 3, 2020
Crony ties between the drug industry and FDA put Americans at risk. Action Alert! Pharmaceutical executives getting high-ranking jobs in the FDA; former FDA employees going to work for Big Pharma. This revolving door between regulator and industry is the very definition of the “fox guarding the henhouse.” This cronyism is putting Americans lives at risk and it needs to stop. Read more.
Will States Let Natural Health Practitioners Battle COVID-19?
Posted June 12, 2020
States have untapped resources that can help residents stay healthy. They should not be ignored. Action Alert! New York State has expanded the scope of practice of nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants during the COVID-19 pandemic by relaxing the requirement that these practitioners work under the supervision of a physician. These orders should be expanded to natural health practitioners such as naturopathic doctors (NDs), who in many cases must work under a limited scope of practice that can involve supervision by a physician.

FDA Moves to Eliminate Custom Medicine
Posted June 12, 2020
This rule will make it harder for you to get the customized medications you need. Action Alert! As part of its effort to implement the Drug Quality and Security Act of 2013, the FDA has taken the next step to implement a bad policy that will limit the amount of medicines like bioidentical hormones compounding pharmacies can send out of state, even when patients have a doctor’s prescription. This policy makes it harder for patients to get the medicines they need. Read more.
Acid Blockers Make COVID-19 More Deadly
Posted June 12, 2020
The FDA has ignored the dangers long enough. Action Alert! ANH-USA has submitted a Citizens Petition to the FDA concerning the increased risk of pneumonia that is associated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medications for acid reflux. This effect has been documented for a number of years, yet the agency has so far refused to update these drugs’ label warning to reflect this danger. This side effect is especially concerning given the current pandemic, which attacks the respiratory system. It is time to force the FDA’s hand. Read more.
Crony Medicine Missing the Mark on Chloroquine
Posted May 27, 2020
Zinc seems to be the key to the drug’s effectiveness, but many trials ignore it. Why? Action Alert! New reports indicate that President Trump is taking hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc to protect against the coronavirus. As we’ve written before, research indicates that high concentrations of zinc inside cells inhibit the replication of RNA viruses such as COVID-19, but due to zinc’s other characteristics, cells do not typically tolerate high levels of this mineral. Further research indicates that hydroxychloroquine helps by getting zinc into the cells. Read more.
Estriol Ban Still Looming
Posted May 27, 2020
Here’s why we think a ban is coming. Action Alert! A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) committee recently released a report regarding compounded pain creams. The report makes clear that, like the FDA, NASEM does not seem to understand the purpose of pharmacy compounding, which is a dire concern as we await another NASEM report assessing the “clinical utility” of compounded bioidentical hormones. We fear that the upcoming NASEM report will give the FDA cover to ban compounded bioidentical hormones like estriol. We must make the FDA and NASEM listen to consumers who rely on these medicines.

Tell Congress that H.R. 6666 “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act is Unconstitutional and Threatens the Liberty of All Americans
Posted May 27, 2020
There has never been a more urgent reason to contact your representative in Congress than H.R. 6666. This Orwellian bill threatens our freedom as individuals more than any piece of legislation we’ve previously seen. As the chaos around Covid-19 continues to dominate lives, governments, and media around the globe, H.R. 6666 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, aiming to use the diversion to implement strategies to legalize surveillance of all people in this country, in clear violation of Article I of the Constitution.

Household Products That Increase Risk From COVID
Posted May 27, 2020
Exposure to a slew of toxic chemicals is making us sick, increasing COVID infections, and ushering in an era of male infertility. Action Alert! Exposures to every day chemicals are making us more susceptible to infection by the COVID-19 virus. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are found in food packaging, cookware, plastics, and many other consumer products. These chemicals are linked to the very diseases that increase our risk of serious COVID-19 infection. Government agencies like the FDA and EPA continue to ignore the clear dangers posed by these chemicals—another example of the cronyism and deference to industry that puts American lives at risk.
