American Association For Health freedom

AAHF was founded in 1992 in direct response to the problems faced by practitioners and consumers in the United States. Medical freedoms were and continue to be threatened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the allopathic medical community, insurance companies, and state medical boards around the country. It is clear that complementary health care providers and consumers need an advocate... on Capitol Hill, in the state legislatures, in the courts, and with the media. We are appalled that practitioners are losing their licenses or ability to be a healer, being driven into bankruptcy, or even simply having to defend themselves because they use alternative approaches to preventing disease and restoring health. We are concerned that advancements in medicine are being stymied and effective therapies ignored because good practitioners are afraid of censure. It is time for someone to speak out; time to change the laws that restrict patient choice and practitioners’ ability to provide the best quality care; time to allow for advancements in health care, unrestrained by institutional bias or fear.
