From Michelle Perro, MD For decades, Americans have been assured that two of the world’s most controversial chemicals are “safe in small amounts.” One is fluoride, intentionally added to public water supplies to prevent tooth decay. The other is glyphosate, the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup®, used on everything from corn and soy to suburban lawns.

With chronic disease rates soaring, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised to address the root causes of our failing health and increase transparency in federal health agencies under the MAHA agenda. Allowing Americans access to credible, science-based information about how food and nutrients support health would have been an obvious step in that direction. The FDA has censored natural cures for diseases for many decades now, and if one sells a non-patented natural product that fights disease, they break FDA laws by making these claims in their advertising, with the threat of arrest and the seizure of their inventory. The FDA only allows disease claims for patented pharmaceutical drugs, and if you make a disease claim for a natural product, even something as simple as "drinking more prune juice can cure constipation," you can be arrested by the FDA using federal marshals for "practicing medicine without a license". I went through this myself back in 2005, when the FDA ordered me to remove all customer testimonials and links to peer-reviewed research regarding coconut oil, and threatened to seize my inventory until I complied. MAHA promised to end this censorship on natural cures, but instead the FDA has doubled down on censorship and protecting drug industry profits. Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) petitioned Kennedy's FDA last year to allow nutrient disease claims that were backed up by the U.S. Government's own scientists, and the FDA rejected their petition. ANH is now suing the FDA, again. Not only is Kennedy's HHS giving more protection to the FDA and Big Pharma, the Trump administration is actually looking at giving big chemical companies, such as Monsanto/Bayer which produces the dangerous herbicide glyphosate which has been ruled to cause cancer, legal immunity against people suffering harm for their products, much like the pharmaceutical industry now enjoys.

A long-relied-upon study declaring the weedkiller glyphosate safe has been retracted, reopening debate over the health risks of the chemical used across much of American agriculture.
