Free Access to Natural Health Must Become a Human Right!

In contrast to synthetic pharmaceutical drugs that generally try to intervene once diseases have already developed, micronutrients exert their benefits as regulators of cellular metabolism and, thereby, constitute the biological foundation of disease prevention. The global implementation of micronutrients as the basis for prevention-oriented, national and global health policies will lead to a significant reduction in today’s most common diseases.

In an attempt to protect the pharmaceutical investment business with patented drugs, its stakeholders have embarked on a worldwide campaign to outlaw free access to vitamins and other micronutrients. Trying to justify their actions, they claim to want to protect consumers from the allegedly harmful side effects of these safe natural substances. Considering the fact that every year tens of thousands of people die from the known side-effects of patented prescription drugs, but essentially none from taking micronutrients, this argument disqualifies itself and exposes these efforts as protectionist measures. The consequences of allowing special interests to restrict free access to science-based natural health approaches would continue to expose the lives of millions of people to diseases that could be prevented.

In the energy sector of society, renewable technologies are gradually ending mankind’s dependency on fossil fuel resources. In a similar way, in the health sector, the implementation of science-based natural approaches into public health policies will shift the global focus of health care from intervention to prevention – thereby significantly reducing the incidence of human diseases as well as their unacceptable costs.
