US almond growers achieve court victory in fight against mandatory fumigation
A federal appeals court ruled today, overturning a lower court decision, that a group of California almond farmers have the right to challenge a USDA regulation requiring the treatment of their raw almonds with a toxic fumigant or steam heat prior to sale to consumers. For the past three years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has denied American consumers the right to buy raw almonds, grown in the USA, when they shop in grocery and natural food stores.

Opponents of controversial plans to establish a joint agency with Australia to regulate therapeutic products have hailed the Government's official admission it cannot get the bill through Parliament.
Dear Health Freedom Advocate, Some good news for a change! The ANZTPA has been sunk! That is until the Labour party can arm twist or wine and dine the appropriate MP's, it may come back to the table at a much later date, but for now they have officially waved the white flag of surrender. For those of you new to this forum, the ANZTPA was the Australian TGA's plan to decimate the New Zealand health industry which would create a monopoly for the larger drug companies and a few large health supplement companies here in Australia. Our mission however does not stop with the ANZTPA. [full story] |

New Controversies Challenge the Health Freedom Movement
(May 1, 2007) In recent weeks, few Internet users have not been subjected to one or more "sky is falling" e-mails, emanating from a variety of "health freedom" groups. They all warn about alleged imminent threats to Americans' continued access to nutritional supplements and other CAM (complementary alternative medicine) modalities at the hands of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and, more recently, the U.S. Congress in the form of a Senate FDA reform bill, S. 1082. A number of blogs have now taken up the cause, this one at Daily Kos being an example. [full story] |
