So why are federal agencies continuing to block us from learning about using natural medicine to stay healthy? Action Alert!

Danger Lurking in Drugs
Posted October 9, 2020
More reason to approach prescription drugs with caution. Action Alert! A recent study found that the “inactive” ingredients used in many prescription drugs aren’t so inactive, and in fact impact many of the body’s molecular processes.

FDA’s Blood Testing Monopoly Dealt Blow
Posted September 25, 2020
For some time, we’ve been telling you about the FDA’s attempt to impose pre-market approval requirements on laboratory developed tests (LDTs). The agency’s efforts were, thankfully, just dealt a major blow: the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced that the FDA will no longer be regulating LDTs. This is a major victory that will open the door to innovation in a sector of medicine that is incredibly important. Read more.
Your Home A Cell Tower? Don’t Let FCC Do It!

Political Pressure Exacerbates COVID Vaccine Safety Concerns
Posted September 11, 2020
The pressure is mounting for a COVID vaccine to be approved. Will there be transparency on its safety and effectiveness? Action Alert! There have been a number of federal actions around the issue of a COVID vaccine in recent weeks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released technical guidelines to states, telling them to be prepared to store, distribute, and administer a COVID vaccine as early as late October or early November. Lawmakers have also introduced a bill aimed at instilling public confidence in an eventual COVID vaccine, but the bill does anything but. These actions underscore the need for transparency and freedom of choice when it comes to the issue of vaccination. Read more.
