This pandemic is exacerbating a big problem, but natural alternatives are still ignored. Action Alert! Antibiotics are being widely used in hospitals around the world to treat or prevent secondary infections in COVID-19 patients. This will make the problem of antibiotic resistance much worse and lead to many deaths. Natural alternatives to treat bacterial infections exist, but they are ignored by government and the medical establishment. Read more.

Remdesivir is NOT the COVID Study Strategy
Posted May 11, 2020
The new drug is being billed as the new “standard of care” for COVID-19, but only improves mortality by 3.6%. Action Alert! Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has declared that the new antiviral drug remdesivir will “be the standard of care” for COVID-19, delivering a windfall to the manufacturer. This bold claim is seemingly based on results from a single trial that leaves some serious questions about the efficacy of this drug. In the meantime, low-cost, safe, and effective natural treatments are being ignored. This is a prime example of how our crony capitalist health system operates. Read more.
NIH’s Failing COVID Study Strategy
Posted May 11, 2020
Cronyism is standing in the way of natural COVID-19 prevention. Action Alert! There are no drugs for preventing COVID-19, so the government says almost nothing about prevention except for social distancing while our economy suffers. There are many indications, however, that nutrients and lifestyle approaches can help protect us from this virus. The “problem” is that these approaches don’t make billions for the drug companies, so the government doesn’t care. We must demand research into nutritional strategies to prevent COVID-19 infection.

EPA Approves Known Carcinogen
Posted May 1, 2020
Hint: it’s not glyphosate, but another cancer-causing herbicide. Action Alert!
After sidestepping the normal public comment process, the EPA has approved a pesticide called isoxaflutole, which the agency has determined likely causes cancer, to be sprayed in 25 states. Nor is it the first time the agency has flouted the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) to approve dangerous chemicals. Once again, the EPA demonstrates that it cares more about industry profits than public health. Read more.
Are Ventilators Killing People?
Posted May 1, 2020
Emerging evidence suggests they are. Action Alert!
Many are now questioning the usefulness of ventilators for COVID-19 patients, suggesting they might cause more harm than good. This may be because the paradigm by which doctors are treating the disease is wrong. Simply put, hospitals around the country are operating from the assumption that COVID-19 infection causes respiratory failure in which a ventilator is needed to do the work that the patient’s muscles normally do. But there is an emerging theory that oxygen failure is the problem, that it is as if patients have been placed at high altitudes without being able to acclimate. Read more.
As Drug Failures for COVID Mount, Feds Ignore Natural Options
Posted May 1, 2020
Many COVID drugs are failing. Natural medicine may hold the key—but can government cronyism be overcome? Action Alert! A large analysis has found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine had no benefit for COVID patients, causing more deaths than standard care. Other pharmaceutical treatments are also turning out to be useless. Remdesivir is being touted by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, but this is likely due to pressure to come up with a drug of the moment; some evidence has shown the drug has no benefit. Emerging evidence suggests that natural medicines like zinc, quercetin, and potassium could help, sometimes in conjunction with drugs, but the government refuses to acknowledge these benefits because nutrients aren’t as profitable for drug companies.

Sign to Join CHD’s Submission to Stop FCC Rule Allowing 5G & Satellites Antennas on Homes
Posted April 24, 2020
The FCC is about to expand its ‘Over The Air Reception Devices’ (OTARD) rule (WT 19-71), to allow wireless companies to install 5G and other cell towers and transmitting devices (not only receiving devices as the name suggests) on homes. The wireless companies will be allowed to enter into a contract with your neighbor to install a cell tower on their home, without the need for a permit, without asking for neighbors’ input or permission and without any considerations to a neighbor’s disability, property values or other needs.

Keep Massachusetts Businesses Open
Posted April 24, 2020
Attorney General Maura Healey, in defiance of federal guidance, has deemed retail stores that provide health and wellness products like vitamins and minerals, water, healthy food options, hand sanitizer, and other health-related products non-essential and has forced them to close down. Read more.
FDA Still Restricting COVID-19 Testing
Posted April 24, 2020
The agency is delaying deployment of serological testing with more red tape. When will this end? Action Alert! The FDA is blocking COVID-19 testing at point-of-care facilities such as doctors’ offices and clinics, and instead insisting that, in many cases, they be performed at “high complexity labs,” of which there are only a very few nationwide. This is yet another unfortunate example of the FDA’s complete lack of flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more.
Media Bungles COVID-19 Prevention
Posted April 24, 2020
…by once again telling us supplements are useless. This irresponsible reporting has to stop. Action Alert! Mainstream media outlets have come out swinging at the idea that supplements can help you during the COVID-19 pandemic. The takeaway from these articles is that there isn’t anything we can do to protect ourselves until a pharmaceutical intervention is developed. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Read more.
