The Alliance for Natural Health has prepared petitions for three vitally important issues. Please consider signing them.
1) Pharmaceutical executives getting high-ranking jobs in the FDA; former FDA employees going to work for Big Pharma. This revolving door between regulator and industry is the very definition of the "fox guarding the henhouse." This cronyism is putting Americans lives at risk and it needs to stop. <http://aahf.convio.net/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=3575> Action Alert! 2) There is a bill in Congress, the Rural Broadband Acceleration Act, which would direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to accelerate an FCC program designed to bring broadband to rural communities and small businesses. Separately, the FCC passed an order to make it easier for companies to install 5G in rural communities by streamlining the process to upgrade existing towers to 5G. <http://aahf.convio.net/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=3582> Action Alert! 3) Estriol and other bioidentical hormones have been nominated to the FDA's Demonstrably Difficult to Compound List; items that appear on the list when it is final will no longer be able to be made at compounding pharmacies. We need to let the FDA know that we're watching. <http://aahf.convio.net/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=3579> Action Alert! Also, for those who can: On July 1, the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is holding a webinar to release their report on the "clinical utility" of compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. We expect the FDA will use this report as ammunition to ban estriol and other bioidentical hormones from pharmacy compounding. It is critical that consumers <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/report-release-compounded-bioidentical-hormone -therapy-tickets-109029542296?utm_source=HMD+Email+List&utm_campaign=6f89917 a02-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_02_14_04_54_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2116 86812e-6f89917a02-180639765&mc_cid=6f89917a02&mc_eid=0ee6da7aba> attend this webinar to let the FDA know that we're watching them.
