In the
1950s
we fought and won the battle for mandatory inspection of poultry.
In the
1960s
we coordinated a major drive to help chiropractors become legally
licensed in over 40 states.
In the
1970s
we waged very successful campaigns against fluoridation.
In the
1980s
we pushed through legislative recognition of acupuncture.
In the
1990s we lobbied to pass the
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act S-784, fought malathion spraying,
promoted public
education on the dangers of vaccinations, and continued fighting the
fluoridation battle.
In the 2000s we are working to
prevent the Codex attempts to restrict your freedom to take
vitamins and minerals and we are currently taking action to defeat
the Senator Durbin Bill (S.722) that seeks to restrict DSHEA with
his move to require dietary supplement manufacturers to submit
Adverse Event Reports, to institute a pre-approval process with
the FDA for all dietary supplements that are stimulants, and to
re-classify anabolic-steroid dietary supplements as Controlled
Substances. The other NHF battles include opposing S.1780, S.1538,
H.R. 207 and H.R. 3377 (considered the Son of Durbin bill). We are
also supporting health-promoting legislation such as the Access To
Medical Treatment Act and a repeal of the Kefauver Amendment of
1962 that gave the FDA expanded authority over drug "efficacy" and
thus the ability to play favorites with drug companies. We
are fighting alongside other countries against a major health
freedom threat, one whose goal is to harmonize vitamin and
supplement laws that strictly regulate natural health foods
worldwide.
Special
recognition should be given to the National Health Federation's
contributors of $1,000 or more dollars donated to our cause of
fighting for all of our health-freedom rights.
PERPETUATE OUR
FREEDOM BY REMEMBERING THE NATIONAL HEALTH FEDERATION IN YOUR WILL.
Liberty, Equity,
Fidelity, Security
These
four words were emblazoned on the original NHF shield by the
National Health Federation's founder, Fred Hart, over 50 years ago
with his vision for people in all walks of life to
oppose monopolistic trends in health and protect the freedoms of
the American people in all matters of health.
