Action Alert: Support Real GRAS Reform

Alliance for Natural Health

Earlier this year, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary touted “GRAS reform” among his first 100 day accomplishments, saying the agency is “exploring rulemaking” to “stop industry’s long-standing practice of introducing ingredients into the food supply without FDA knowledge or oversight.” The practice Commissioner Makary is referring to is known as self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) or self-GRAS.

THE TOPLINE

  • Proposed changes to the FDA’s GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rules—backed by RFK Jr.’s push to clean up junk and ultra-processed foods—could create a sweeping pre-approval system that threatens access to thousands of safe, natural supplement ingredients.
  • While reform is needed to curb harmful additives, past FDA decisions show the agency has approved questionable synthetic ingredients—raising concerns that new authority could unfairly target natural products instead.
  • This is a pivotal moment for health freedom: without public pushback, regulatory overreach could restrict supplement access under the guise of food safety reform.

It’s true that the GRAS system is deeply flawed. It’s also true that many, if not all, of the problematic ingredients in the food supply that are often cited by critics as evidence of the need for GRAS reform were explicitly approved by the FDA—not snuck in by industry under self-GRAS. The solution isn’t to eliminate the self-affirmed GRAS pathway. It’s to bring it into the light, as we argued in our white paper released in April of this year that outlined a rational approach to reforming GRAS without erecting unnecessary regulatory hurdles for ingredients that have a well-established safety record.

Help us restore integrity to the entire system that governs what we eat. Write to Congress and the FDA calling for rational reforms to the GRAS process without eliminating the self-GRAS pathway.

The Hidden Truth About Tick-Borne Illnesses

Dr Stephen Wangen
September 9, 2025

Today I want to talk with you about something that is often misunderstood and more common than most people realize: tick-borne illnesses.

When most people hear about tick-borne diseases, the first thing that comes to mind is Lyme disease—and usually only in the context of the northeastern United States. Maybe you’ve even heard about the “classic bullseye rash” that’s supposed to make Lyme easy to recognize. But the truth is much more complex—and more concerning.

Tick-Borne Illnesses Are Everywhere

One of the biggest misconceptions is that tick-borne diseases are only a problem in New England or a handful of rural areas. The reality is: ticks are found in every state in the U.S. They thrive in woodlands, grassy fields, parks, and even suburban backyards.

As our climate changes and animal populations shift, ticks are spreading into areas where they weren’t as common before. That means people all across the country—from the Pacific Northwest, to the Midwest, to the Southeast, and yes, the Southwest—are at risk of exposure.

More Than Just Lyme Disease

Yes, Lyme disease is the most well-known tick-borne illness. But ticks can and do carry and transmit many other infections, including:

• Babesiosis

• Anaplasmosis

• Ehrlichiosis

• Rocky Mountain spotted fever

• Bartonella

• And other infections

Each of these can cause significant health problems, and in many cases, people may not even realize that a tick bite was the original cause of their symptoms.

The Bullseye Rash Myth

Let’s talk about the rash. We’ve all heard about the “classic bullseye” rash that’s associated with Lyme disease. But here’s what most people don’t know:

• The majority of patients never develop a bullseye rash.

• Some might get a rash that looks nothing like the pictures online.

• Others may not have any noticeable skin reaction at all.

That means you can still have a tick-borne illness even if you’ve never seen a rash.  (See link for article)

Gates Founded CEPI Seeks Billions For Next ‘Pandemic’ as WHO and World Bank Deploy $7 Billion Across 75 Nations

Remember Problem, Reaction, Solution?  Well, here it is in action.

Bill Gates–Founded CEPI Seeks $2.5 Billion for Next Pandemic as WHO and World Bank Deploy $7 Billion Across 75 Nations

Powerful international institutions funding pandemic-capable influenza research are now simultaneously building the global response system designed to confront those threats.

An unprecedented level of international funding and coordination is now underway to expand the global pandemic response system, with at least $9.5 billion committed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and a Bill Gates-founded vaccine coalition to finance the worldwide surveillance networks, laboratories, and vaccines tied to future pandemic declarations.

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)—founded in 2017 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum, and national governments—announced last week that it is now seeking an additional $2.5 billion to expand its pandemic vaccine financing programs.

**Comment**

Journalist Jon Fleetwood asks a poignant question:

When Does Pandemic Conflict of Interest Become a National Security Threat?

Both Gates and the WHO financially benefit from ‘pandemics,’ with Gates being a top contributor to the WHO in a ‘you wash my back, I’ll wash yours,’ arrangement, as well as to biolabs performing ‘gain of function’ experiments. It’s a nice, cozy arrangement and financially lucrative to all involved, well, except for all the people who get sick and/or die.

A recent study was not able to produce one case of the flu despite prolonged close contact; however, a federally run experiment funded by NIAID, DARPA, Gates, and your tax dollars deliberately infected 80 Americans with an engineered flu virus and of the 74 analyzed, 53 became contagious. Oh, and ‘vaxxed’ shedders displayed a hyper-inflammatory immune response, ‘vaccination’ did not prevent infection, and no details were given whatsoever about biosafety controls, containment, or post infection release criteria.  

Have we learned anything yet?  Feeling safe?

Further, NIAID-funded researchers are engineering a mutant Bird flu virus to ‘expand its host range.’  Current Director of NIAID, Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger just happens to hold a patient on the Bird Flu pandemic ‘vaccine,’ which just happens to be at the center of Trump’s $500 Million ‘Generation Gold Standard‘ Project.  Taubenberger lead the team that sequenced and reconstructed the 1918 ‘Spanish flu’ genome – the deadliest pandemic in modern history.

Well, isn’t this all just nice and cozy?

I’m sure all of this is completely unrelated and kosher.

ACTION: Block & Repeal Food Libel & Ag-Gag Laws

https://advocacy.organicconsumers.org/page/94199/action/1?  Go here to take action

Protect Food and Environmental Activists’ Right to Free Speech! Block & Repeal Food Libel & Ag-Gag Laws!

“Food Libel” and “Ag-Gag” laws are the corporations’ attempt to keep us from knowing where our food comes from and how it’s produced.

Food Libel laws let corporations take their critics to court, while Ag-Gag laws criminalize investigations into animal abuse at factory farms.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Your State Legislators to Protect Food and Environmental Activists’ Right to Free Speech! Block and Repeal Food Libel and Ag-Gag Laws!

In an alarming move, Florida is considering expanding its food libel law with a provision to broaden “food disparagement” restrictions. A victory for free speech was won last week when the Senate dropped the issue, but a House bill still includes it.

While Florida’s current law is limited to perishable food products like fruits and vegetables, the proposed changes seek to broaden the scope in two major ways:

  • The removal of “Perishable”—This expansion would include all agricultural products.
  • And addition of “Farm Practices”—The provision explicitly adds agricultural practices, such as fertilizer use and pesticide application.

This would allow powerful agricultural corporations like Bayer and Corteva to use a new legal weapon to target those who speak out publicly about farming practices, including pesticides, water pollution, and harmful health effects.

This expansion would heavily prioritize industry interests, making it perilous for individuals, organizations, and farmers to speak up about harmful practices and undermine efforts to create a safer, more transparent food system nationwide.

In a frightening example of how food libel laws like Florida’s can be misused, Apeel is currently using it to sue Robyn Openshaw, the Green Smoothie Girl, for her campaign to educate consumers about how to avoid its “edible” fruit and vegetable coating.

We need to act now!

If passed, Florida’s expanded food libel law would set a dangerous precedent, stifling free speech and silencing environmental and health advocates, while creating a food system that prioritizes industry interests over public health and safety.

Action: End Liability Protection for ‘Vaccine’ Makers & CHD Seeks to Intervene in Vaccine Lawsuit

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/community/urge-your-federal-legislators-to-end-liability-protection-for-vaccine-makers

Urge Your Federal Legislators to End Liability Protection for Vaccine Makers

February 18, 2026

Take Action NowOn February 11, Senator Rand Paul introduced S. 3853, which will end the liability shield currently provided to vaccine manufacturers. A companion bill to Representative Paul Gosar’s H.R. 4668 to “End the Vaccine Carveout,” the legislation allows plaintiffs to choose whether to pursue civil action or seek compensation through the VICP, a choice they’ve been denied since 1986.

For decades, the system has favored pharmaceutical company profits over the rights of people, especially children, who have been injured or killed by vaccines. It’s time to focus on fairly compensating the individuals and families who have been devastated by adverse events following vaccination. Passage of these bills will finally level the playing field for families pursuing compensation.

This landmark legislation is long overdue, and according to a recent Fabrizio Ward poll, taking away the liability protection currently afforded vaccine makers is an enormously popular idea among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

Please use the form below to contact your federal Senators and Representatives and urge them to cosponsor this historic legislation.

Consider taking an additional step by calling the House Energy and Commerce Committee members to ask that they give H.R. 4668 a hearing. Start with those in your state first and call others if you have the time. It’s ok to call after hours and leave a message.

Please keep in mind:

  • Pfizer offered millions in bribes & monthly wages to buy the silence of outspoken doctors critical against the clot shots.
  • allegedly, Pfizer gave $11M to Canadian officials during COVID. Millions were funneled to “Potentially Influential Government Officials,” or PIGOs. According to a lawsuit, this activity violated foreign corruption laws.
  • historically, doctors have received monetary kickbacks for pushing ‘vaccines’ upon their patients at Wellness Visits. causing the outright deaths of many infants.
  • CDC data shows MMR & MMRV linked to 2,657% more U.S. deaths than measles infection since 1995 and a study shows that when classification succeeds, 90.91% of cases are caused by the vaccine itself.
    • It’s important to note that the CDC obfuscates vaccine data is by classifying 95% of measles cases as ‘unvaccinated or unknown’– two fundamentally different categories.The agency purposely merges unknown cases with unvaccinated ones maximizing the association between measles cases and non-vaccination while obscuring uncertainty in the data.  It purposely does not apply the same logic in reverse – merging ‘unknown cases with vaccinated cases maximizing the association between measles cases and vaccination, which very well could be true.

….the cesspool is very deep indeed and the ‘vaccine’ religion is finally being questioned

Interestingly, state groups with titles like ‘American Families for Vaccines’ (AFV), formerly known as ‘SAFE Communities Coalition,’ are attempting to ban religious exemptions.  Claiming to be a ‘grassroots advocacy’ organization, it is heavily funded by Big Pharma that now has 14 state chapters but is registered as a nonprofit.

Not to be undone, Vermont‘s House of Representatives just passed House Bill 545, a sweeping law that grants the state’s unelected Health Commissioner the authority to issue official recommendations determining which vaccines children and adults should receive, explicitly naming the flu vaccine in statute—including future reformulations—and shields healthcare providers from civil liability for injuries caused by those injections.  The bill now advances to the Senate where it’s already received favor…..

The vaccine religion in real time.

Breaking: Children’s Health Defense Seeks to Intervene in High-Stakes Vaccine Lawsuit

In an emergency motion filed Wednesday, Children’s Health Defense and a group of parents and doctors asked a Massachusetts federal court to allow them to intervene in a lawsuit challenging recent changes to the CDC childhood vaccine schedule. “Nobody in the room is speaking for the children who were injured or killed under the schedule,” said attorney Rick Jaffe.

vaccine bottles with gavel on book

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is asking to join in a high-stakes court battle between the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

In an emergency motion filed Wednesday, CHD asked a Massachusetts federal court to join as a defendant, along with Kennedy and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in a suit filed by the AAP and other medical groups against Kennedy and HHS.

The AAP lawsuit seeks to block recent changes HHS made to the childhood vaccine schedule and other vaccine-related policies.

Attorney Rick Jaffe and Massachusetts attorney Robert N. Meltzer filed the motion to intervene in the case.

Jaffe represents CHD and five other plaintiffs in a separate lawsuit against the AAP. That suit accuses the AAP of running a decades-long racketeering scheme to defraud American families about the safety of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine schedule.

Jaffe said the AAP and HHS are litigating whether the government has the authority to revise the schedule — but neither side is addressing the more fundamental issue at stake: the safety of the former childhood schedule.

“I filed this intervention because the court is about to rule on restoring a vaccination schedule without hearing from a single family affected by it,” Jaffe said.

Jaffe told The Defender:

“You have seven trade organizations on one side and government lawyers on the other, and nobody in the room speaking for the children who were injured or killed under the schedule the plaintiffs want back.

Andrea Shaw lost twin sonsShanticia Nelson lost her daughter. The court should know their names before it rules.”

Shaw and Nelson are parents whose children died after receiving vaccines routinely recommended by the CDC. They, along with two pediatricians, are co-plaintiffs with CHD in the lawsuit against the AAP.

CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg said the motion to intervene in the AAP’s lawsuit against HHS also raises new claims. CHD alleges that because many states have taken up AAP’s vaccine recommendations, the AAP has effectively become a state actor.

“As a state actor, AAP violates the First Amendment by tamping down doctors’ speech and by depriving listeners — like the parent intervenors here — of a variety of opinions to assist in making an informed choice,” Mack Rosenberg said.

Missing evidence: childhood schedule never proven safe

**Comment**

I’ve said this before, but it bares repeating: everyone loves the science when it agrees with their stance.  In the case of ‘vaccines,’ there’s a lot of missing science, namely:

  • a true placebo controlled trial AND the
  • the long term effects of ‘vaccines,’
  • the cumulative effect of all the ‘vaccines’ together

The fact these foundational issues have not even been researched shows how tainted the entire paradigm actually is.  The fact people refuse to see and admit these facts demonstrate perfectly that it’s a ‘vaccine’ religion based upon pseudo-science and even no science at all in some cases.
