ABOUT

The American Association for Health Freedom is the political voice for health care practitioners who use nutritional and other complementary therapies in patient care.

Our members approach health from a comprehensive perspective, utilizing preventive medical techniques and less's invasive, more natural methods of patient management.

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.

Mission Statement:
We pledge to work diligently on your behalf, to achieve a health care system in which practitioners can practice in good conscience, with the well being of the patient foremost in their minds, and without fear of recrimination for the use of complementary and alternative therapies; ensure American's right to medical freedom and access to the full range of health–promotion and treatment methods; create a health care environment that fosters advancements in health promotion, disease prevention and treatment, as well as cooperation among the many types of practitioners.
