Momentum is building around the Arizona Statement—and not a moment too soon. At a time when access to care, innovation, and informed choice are increasingly constrained, this document lays out a clear, principled roadmap for restoring health freedom in America. It calls on policymakers at every level to break down unnecessary barriers, end monopolistic control in the healthcare space, and ensure that individuals—not institutions—retain the right to make decisions about their own care.
Recent developments make the urgency of this effort impossible to ignore. The Dietary Supplement Listing Act, despite being framed as a transparency measure, would expand FDA oversight in ways that could restrict consumer access to a wide range of supplements. At the same time, the FDA has been steadily tightening its grip on therapeutic peptides, threatening to push promising, widely used compounds out of reach for both practitioners and patients. Even homeopathy—long a cornerstone of integrative and alternative care—faces mounting regulatory pressure that could severely limit its availability. Taken together, these actions point to a broader trend: a regulatory environment that increasingly narrows, rather than expands, the spectrum of healthcare choices available to Americans.
To underscore what’s at stake, we’re sharing a powerful video from ANH-USA General Counsel Jonathan Emord. As he explains, the Arizona Statement isn’t just aspirational—it’s a blueprint for action in precisely this kind of moment. It is the backdrop on which all of ANH’s pioneering work to reform the regulatory landscape affecting the health care of Americans is hung. It affirms a fundamental principle that has too often been sidelined: Individuals deserve access to a full range of safe and innovative options, along with the freedom to make informed choices about their health.
