The FDA has been distorting law and trampling on our right to access needed medicine. Now, it’s time for us to fight back! Major Action Alert! Congressmen Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and Henry Cuellar (R-TX) recently introduced HR 2871, the Preserving Patient Access to Compounded Medications Act of 2017. This is an important first step toward […]
Government lies and lack of profit incentive are both leading to lack of treatment. Action Alert! A new report published in Pediatrics estimates that the overall number of children with elevated lead levels in the US for the period 1999 to 2010 was 1.2 million—double what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously reported. Even […]
Another tick borne disease is showing up in increased numbers in certain parts of the US, and people aren’t even being warned. We are seeing a rise in a tick-borne disease called Powassan, POW for short. Half of those who come in to contact with the virus suffer permanent neurological damage; some patients experience no […]
Ballooning medical bureaucracy does both. Since the 1970s, the number of physicians entering the workforce has remained relatively constant. The number of administrators (who are handsomely paid) has risen almost 3,000%. This is not helping patients. Doctors and their private practices are increasingly being eaten up by hospitals. In fact, the number of physicians employed […]

FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee has voted to limit your access to drugs not made by drug companies. Action Alert! A few weeks ago, we told you that the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) was meeting once again to decide whether patients will have access to customized medicines.

It’s no longer just the side effects of their medicines. A new study found “excessively high” levels of antibiotic and antifungal drugs in water sources near a major drug production center in India where 50% of the country’s drug exports are produced and a fifth of the world’s generic drugs. Unsurprisingly, the researchers also found […]
Stroke and dementia too? Yes, you can add those to the health risks of diet soda consumption. Natural health advocates have known for quite some time that artificial sweeteners like aspartame are dangerous and to be avoided.
