" The Threat to Health Freedom Now - an Exclusive

Interview with Emord... " starts like this:

October 25, 2010 - As a medical investigative reporter for 28 years,

I’ve seen public interest in health freedom come and go. Right now,

in 2010, it is at a low point.

In the early 1990s, there was a tremendous fervor in America. Millions

of people, perceiving a threat from the federal government,

realized they could be cut off from the right to improve their health

according to their own wishes, judgments, and decisions.

In practical terms, health freedom has come to mean: the right to have

access to the widest possible range of nutritional supplements,

health practitioners, and treatments—with no government obstruction.

Back in 1993, millions of Americans believed in that principle, and

sent letters to Congress. Rallies were held. Celebrities appeared and

supported traditional American liberty.

The final blow was struck with the passage of the Dietary Supplement

Health Act of 1994 (DSHEA). It appeared to promise the results

citizens were looking for. The FDA would not be permitted to limit

access to the full range of nutritional supplements.

Then the furor died down and people went back to their lives. The

internet grew into a giant. Millions of pages discussing health

issues appeared. More freedom. More access.

But there has been an overall dampening of that spirit of the early

90s. Many people believe the major battle has been won.

To examine whether this is the case, and whether the DSHEA Law is

actually keeping Americans safe, I interviewed a widely revered

lawyer, Emord.
