Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine ANH-USA is committed to sustainable health, the recognition that our environment and our physical health are inextricably related. The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) is part of an international organization dedicated to promoting sustainable health and freedom of choice in healthcare through good science and good law. They protect the right of natural-health practitioners to practice and the right of consumers to choose the healthcare options they prefer. Since 1992, they have worked to shift the medical paradigm from an exclusive focus on surgery, drugs, and other conventional techniques to an integrative approach incorporating functional foods, dietary supplements, and lifestyle changes. They believe this is the way to improve health and extend lives while reducing the costs of healthcare back to a sustainable level.

The sites and resources below are working to address these issues with courage and imagination. Featured Site Independent Media Center.
