With your help, we were able to register some of the most important victories of the last decade in 2022; let’s keep it up in 2023!

In our 2022 Natural Health Advocacy Year in Review, we described some of the important work we did in 2022 to defend your access to natural health options. We spent much of the year fighting Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) anti-supplement policy known as “mandatory product listing” for dietary supplements, and our efforts paid off—Sen. Durbin’s policy did not move forward. You can read our 2022 review article to catch up on other important victories from last year. While we celebrate these accomplishments, we can’t rest on our laurels. Looking forward to 2023, there will be some important battles coming up that we cannot win without the dedicated engagement of our grassroots activists.

ANH believes in the sovereignty of the individual to make informed decisions regarding their health. The freedom to make these decisions is being jeopardized by drug companies, the government, Big Food, Big Ag, and other special interests. Big Pharma tries to monopolize natural ingredients so they can sell us expensive drugs. The FDA and other federal agencies are threatening supplements, homeopathy, and compounded medicines. Chemical companies produce poisons that pollute our soil, food, water, and air, as well as many common consumer products. Big Ag uses GMOs and pesticides like glyphosate to produce a few commodity crops (like corn) that are helping to drive the epidemic of chronic disease. And when integrative doctors try to inform us about the benefits natural medicine provides in countering these assaults, they are censored by aggressive state medical boards committed to maintaining the status quo.
