Is fatigue slowing you down? Sixty million Americans are so fatigued that it interferes with their daily activities and prevents them from achieving their goals. Emotional causes account for 40-80% of the cases, while physical causes account for only 20-60%. Continue reading

Red wine’s heart health benefits may be due to its bioflavonoid content and its ability to boost the number and activity of specialized cells, known as Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs), in the lining of blood vessels. EPCs repair damaged cells in blood vessels and produce nitric oxide, which plays a key role in the relaxation and vasodilation of blood vessels.… Continue reading

The heart health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA may be related to their ability to reduce oxidative stress, suggests new research.

Low blood levels of folate are associated with a 35 percent increased risk of hearing loss, says a new study from Australia that strengthens the link between B vitamins and hearing.

Low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome by about 40 percent, according to new findings. Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by central obesity, hypertension, and disturbed sugar and insulin metabolism. The syndrome has been linked to increased risks of both diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Last Friday, your voice was heard in Congress. Thanks to your activism, the provision to expand the Federal Trade Commission’s powers—and with it, the likely restricted access to nutritional supplements—did not make it into the final Wall Street “Reform” bill. Continue reading

ANH–USA has opposed the so-called Food Safety Bill as a threat to natural health and health freedom. As we reported to you in April, we have been working to improve the Senate’s version of the bill. In particular, we succeeded in preventing… Continue reading

ANH–USA strongly opposed the recently enacted healthcare bill for a variety of reasons. We stand for the freedom of consumers to choose the type of healthcare they want, and the freedom of practitioners to practice without harassment. The healthcare reform act seriously impinges on both.… Continue reading

Adequate vitamin D levels are best achieved by supplements because of the side-effects of UV exposure, says the results of a new computer simulation model from the US.

It appears that the radio and TV ads for Boniva and Fosamax may have to add a new WARNING: Tell your doctor if your femur snaps in half while you’re just standing in the kitchen doing nothing.

This of course would have to be added to the already worrisome list of side-effects that are recited so fast that you can’t really comprehend them anyway. There are so many side-effects that it takes a fast talking lady speaking twice the normal rate, one-third of the advertisement time to recite them. Continue reading

“Osteoporosis Drugs, Like Fosamax May Increase Risk of Broken Bones in Some Women” and “Long-term Use of Popular Class of Osteoporosis Drugs May Have Opposite Effect for Some Women.”

Fosamax and Boniva are the two most popular drugs in this class of drugs called bisphosphonates. They are supposed to make bones stronger, but now there’s mounting evidence that, for some women, taking these medications may cause bone fractures, musculoskeletal pain, jaw bone necrosis and esophageal cancer. Don’t do the drugs! There is a natural alternative. Continue reading

Why has the FDA moved so slowly on this issue. Bisphosphonates as a class of drugs should be taken off of the market immediately. Patients are starting to speak out, but it may take years for the causal link between bisphosphonate drugs like Fosamax and Boniva to be clear enough and to be associated strongly enough with enough deaths for the FDA to take action.

At the present time, the FDA does not allow the seller of a food or supplement to say that the product will help prevent or treat disease. It is not a coincidence that certain vested interests, supported by groups like CSPI and the FDA, want to shut down any free flow of information about natural approaches to health.

Special interests would like to take away your supplements to make us more like Europe. Under emerging European rules, even a doctor will not be allowed to talk to a patient in private about food or supplements that have not been approved by it’s FDA equivalent health authority.

It is time to call a halt to this madness before European rules are adopted in the US. … Continue reading
