The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) is part of an international organization dedicated to promoting freedom of choice in healthcare through good science and good law. Since 1992, they have worked to shift the medical paradigm from an exclusive focus on surgery, drugs, and other conventional techniques to an “integrative” approach incorporating functional foods, dietary supplements, and lifestyle changes. The ANH-USA lobbies Congress and state legislatures, acts as a government watchdog, files comments on proposed rulings, and educates the public, press and other decision-makers. There is no cost for an individual to join this organization. Be informed on proposed legislation that could affect health care choices for you and your children.
