Big Pharma and Collaborators Resort to Underhanded Tactics in Push to Ban Homeopathy

'Ever since I released my book "Codex Alimentarius – The End of Health Freedom" and began speaking out about the coming destruction of access to vitamin and mineral supplements inside the United States and the rest of the world, I have been met with the tired response of “it won’t happen here.” Of course, saying “it won’t happen here” is generally a guaranteed method of ensuring that whatever you are claiming can’t happen will happen.

Nevertheless, the historically naïve masses - even those who are aware enough to seek out natural supplements and healthy food - still believe that the supplement lobby and the natural health industry are too large to be brought down by restrictive laws. The people, they say, would never allow it.'

All Things Are Not Created Equal: Huge Gaps In Quality In The Natural Health Industry

'Dr. Eldon Dahl explains how product quality is being sacrificed for convenience and price point ultimately creating an entire industry filled with supplements of non-therapeutic value.

Think of the natural health industry as a beautifully healthy, organic orange tree. Now, if you can imagine, cut a wedge in that tree’s trunk, and graft in a foreign branch that is not from the origin--for instance, a nonorganic lemon tree branch. Once the original tree accepts the new branch, both the orange and the lemon will feed from the same roots.

Using this illustration, imagine the lemon branch as a grafted in government-regulated health product, having non-therapeutic value, and a price-directed licensed formulation. Both are feeding from the original roots--that is, the natural health food industry--but one is efficacious, while the other is not. The two are not equal. What is the difference? The lemon was never intended to be part of the original tree, yet through regulations it remains protected while it feeds from the original host.'

Health Videos - Fight Aging with L-Arginine



 This One Amino Acid May Help Protect You from 150 Diseases


 By Dr. Mercola


'We have known for 20 years that the amino acid L-arginine offers multiple vascular benefits to people with heart disease, or those who have increased risk for heart disease due to multiple cardiac risk factors. L-arginine is a key nutrient in promoting efficient blood flow and overall cardiovascular function. L-arginine is considered one of the "semi-essential" amino acids—meaning, your body can't produce it in sufficient quantities, so you must obtain most of it from your diet. 

But new research is emerging every day that this little powerhouse-nutrient plays a number of other important roles in your health, with benefits stretching far beyond your heart and blood. It
appears that cardiovascular benefits may have just been the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what L-arginine can do for you—including possibly slowing down the aging process itself.'

How to Optimize Your Health and Fight Disease Through Natural Healing

'According to the FDA, you should always seek medical advice from your orthodox medical doctor before attempting any natural healing protocol. 

If you do, I suggest you find one that knows what natural healing is and how it works using herbs, nutraceuticals and other adjunctive remedies. 

Only practitioners using drugs are allowed to claim they treat, prevent or cure disease. Natural healing practitioners may not make that claim even if their protocols actually do.'

Supplements: The Real Story - Natural or Synthetic? Foods or Tablets?

'It's a nutritional "Catch 22": The public is told, confusingly: "Vitamins are good, but vitamin supplements are not. Only vitamins from food will help you. So just eat a good diet. Do not take supplements! 

But by the way, there is no difference between natural and synthetic vitamins." Wait a minute. What's the real story here? A recent health study reported that the risk of heart failure decreased with increasing blood levels of vitamin C [1]. The benefit of vitamin C (ascorbate) was highly significant. Persons with the lowest plasma levels of ascorbate had the highest risk of heart failure, and persons with the highest levels of vitamin C had the lowest risk of heart failure. 

This finding confirms the knowledge derived over the last 50 years that vitamin C is a major essential factor in cardiovascular health [2,3]. The study raises several important questions about diet and vitamin supplements.'

European Union Citizens Who Want to Use Natural Health Products are in the Last Chance Saloon - Please Read

'European Union (EU) citizens who aspire to manage their health using natural means have now entered crunch time. Over the nearly 10 years of ANH’s existence, this is the time we’ve been most concerned about: when European laws that grossly limit what companies can say or write about the beneficial effects of their products, even when they are supported by abundant science, are juxtaposed with EU rules that limit ingredients and dosages. We have now properly entered this zone of regulatory convergence — all of it working against the interest of the natural health-conscious citizen.'

Saving Nutritional Supplements: A Battle For Nature, Truth, and Life Itself

'We know how hard people are fighting now to save the economy, to stop the wars, to prevent more nuclear power plants, mountain top mining, fracking, and more drilling, to stop genetic engineering, and incredibly importantly – save our farmers and ranchers. 

But what is happening to supplements is little noticed but is of ultimate importance. The battle to save supplements is a battle to save nature and the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years of using it to heal.'

THE FDA's SCHEME TO RECLASSIFY NUTRIENTS AS DRUGS

 

'The FDA and Senator Durbin’s latest attack against the dietary supplement industry should leave consumers for natural health options at affordable prices up in arms. This attack will target some of the most popular and effective dietary supplements, removing them from the free market and placing them under control of large pharmaceutical companies. This move will drastically drive up the price of dietary supplements while severely limiting access to extremely safe and effective nutrients. 

For example, the GlaxoSmithKline prescription drug version of DHA fish oil (at a therapeutic dose) sells for $189 a month, whereas the equivalent, therapeutic amount of molecularly-distilled DHA sells for $35 a month in the dietary supplement marketplace. Proven to lower triglyceride levels at therapeutic amounts, it is not surprising that DHA is one of the first nutrients the FDA plans to go after. Other powerful nutrients, such as curcumin and resveratrol, are soon to follow.'

The Folic Acid Fallacy: How Your Multi-vitamin Might be Killing You

'Just as counterfeit Rolex watches are sold to intoxicated teenagers on the streets of Mexico, the drug industry pushes counterfeits of Mother Nature to consumers dizzy with marketing spin. This is the best analogy for the “folic acid fallacy.” Folic acid is a cheap counterfeit isolate of the naturally occurring “folate.” 

The term folate (not folic acid) encompasses a slew of naturally occurring chemical cousins – chemists call them isomers – that have a wide range of positive roles in the body. Without full-spectrum natural folate, our body becomes a breeding ground for Alzheimer’s disease, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, neural tube defects, poor cognitive performance, depression, hearing loss and many types of cancer.'
