With nearly a million members, the Alliance for Natural Health is the largest organization in the US and abroad working to protect your right to utilize safe, effective, and inexpensive healing therapies. If it weren’t for ANH, many of the modalities I talk about on Intelligent Medicine would be under threat by government regulators at the behest of Big Food, BigAg, Big Pharma, the medical establishment, and the chemical industry.
I became a board member of ANH 20 years ago because it mirrored my personal commitment to preserving access to natural health choices. I now serve as Medical Director and President.
America is facing an unprecedented crisis. Our productivity, national security, and fiscal solvency are being undermined by epidemics of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, GI illnesses, and autoimmunity. Poor nutrition is at the root of many of these problems. Yet few healthcare professionals have the knowledge and experience to stem the tide of diet-related diseases.
The American Nutrition Association, is at the vanguard of the fight to put nutrition front and center within US healthcare. As Chair of the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists, I’m part of an effort to train CNS candidates to effect positive change.
