This important new book traces the history of the natural health movement in the United States, revealing how the FDA-an agency established with honorable intentions-has become tainted by lobbyists and money. In addition to exposing the FDA's long-standing battle against natural health products, Gormley examines how big business, industry, globalization, and politics have affected the quality and production of our food supply, destroyed the environment, and compromised our safety and health time and time again.
In other countries, access to dietary supplements is becoming increasingly limited, and the FDA is now poised to move the United States in the same direction. Health at Gunpoint not only sheds light on this situation, but also explains what readers can do to take back their health-and freedom of choice.
