AAHF and its project HOMECoalition.org are joining the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists and other groups in a nationwide call-in campaign to protect our access to estriol and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. The BHRT National Congressional Call-In Day will be Wednesday, Sept. 10th. Our goal is to generate thousands of […]
Haven’t we heard this story before? The FDA is charged with regulating BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical found in plastic bottles, baby bottles, food cans, dental fillings, sealants, and cements. It knew that the government’s National Toxicology Program (another division of Health and Human Services) was about to issue a report and that Yale researchers […]
In recent issues, we have told you about Medicure Pharma’s so-called Citizens Petition to the FDA to ban any dietary supplements containing the natural and active form of vitamin B-6 called pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (P5P). A reader has asked: what is the difference between pyridoxine, the most common form of B-6, and P5P? Most supplements contain […]
Some of the natural substances taken through the FDA approval process don’t appear to be dangerous. For example, Omacor, the FDA approved fish oil, is only a problem because it is so expensive compared to regular fish oil. All of us who pay Medicare taxes are bearing this cost since Medicare won’t reimburse any other […]
If you took action to tell the FDA no to banning natural B-6, you will also have found Glaxo Smith Kline’s so-called Citizen’s Petition to the FDA that would have the effect of banning weight loss supplements.

Late last year, the US government released a 60 page report entitled: FDA Science and Mission at Risk. A more honest title would have been: FDA Science and Mission in Shambles.
Everyone — except the FDA — seems to know that a scientific revolution is taking place at the intersection of food, food extracts, and food supplements. Solid, peer reviewed scientific research is pouring forth from reputable research institutions, especially research universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and the like. This research suggests that changes in diet […]
Newspapers in 1992 proclaimed it The Great B Vitamin Raid. Armed agents stormed into the office of Jonathan Wright, MD taking hostage the clinic’s supply of Vitamin B-12 and B-complex along with the clinic’s computers, books, files, mailing list, and office equipment.
AAHF is committed to helping to save estriol for patients. While the FDA is careful to say that it is not “banning” estriol, they are making the process of prescribing estriol extremely difficult. Furthermore, they have been attacking compounding pharmacists and have given an order to stop using estriol, and the term “bio-identical” in their hormone replacement formulas.
As AAHF reported last month, “Our Children as Guinea Pigs” – we shared concerns with the American Academy of Pediatrics position on giving statins to children to tackle high cholesterol.
