The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) has been federal law for over 10 years. Even after four successful federal court decisions vindicating consumers' rights to have access to truthful health claims on supplements and in advertising products, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continue to censor and engage in heavy-handed attempts to restrict access to supplements and educational information.

H.R. 4282, the Health Freedom Protection Act, introduced by Congressman Ron Paul and supported by seven other Representatives, seeks to rectify this abuse by these two powerful federal agencies. The bill would stop the FDA from censoring truthful claims about the healing or preventative effects of dietary supplements.  This bill would stop the FDA from prohibiting the distribution of scientific articles and publications to consumers regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against disease. It would also prevent the FTC from censoring truthful health claims by requiring supplement manufactures to satisfy an unobtainable standard of proof that a health claim statement is true.

A collective educational grassroots lobbying effort is needed to pass this bill. The AAHF is doing what we can but we need your personal participation in lobbying your representatives to sponsor this bill. E-MAIL your Representative.  Click below to read the speech by Congressman Ron Paul.
