A Bibliographic History of the Health Freedom Movement

Growing rapidly over the last twenty five years, the Health Freedom

Movement (HFM) is essentially a movement struggling to give

individuals freedom of choice in treatments and practitioners the

right to practise other than allopathic therapies. At the moment

both these areas are constrained by monopoly interests which deny

choice by using the criteria of professionalism and profit for

dispensing health care. Dominating this system and its denial of

choice are the pharmaceutical companies, some of which have incomes

as big as small nation states and all of which compete ruthlessly for

control of the citizen's body.

 

 

 

Observing the HFM over the first years of the new century, it would

be easy to think that the movement is only about the defence of

vitamins and food supplements. On rare occasions, it might even look

like the HFM is actually only defending the commercial production and

distribution of vitamins and food supplements. This is principally

because the war which is being waged against vitamin and food

supplement producers by the pharmaceutical companies has recently

taken centre stage with the growing regulatory closeness of Codex

Alimentarius, the international consultation to regulate food

labelling, vitamins and food supplements. Codex most clearly affects

companies which produce medicines, food and food

supplements. However, beneath and beyond these companies are

unattached individuals and groups with an interest in health and the

more personal use of nutritional medicine and supplementation.
