The Pharmaceuticals have too much influence on the FDA. Chronic Disease and obesity are rampant in this country. In order to improve the health of our nation we believe that Holistic health needs to be encouraged and covered in the national health plan. Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Homeopathy and Naturopathy will improve the health of our nation and will CUT the costs of health care. Also, too many chemicals have been approved by the FDA and they are the cause of obesity and other health problems. We need to get chemicals out of food and out of farming too. Let's make this planet a healthier place to Live. Please! Thank you for listening.

Dear Mr. Obama, We the undersigned do not believe that the FDA is really protecting our health. Chronic disease is at an all time high and we encourage you to include alternative medicine in the national health plan; It will cost less and will improve our quality of life. Thank you for listening, AlternativeHealthandWellBeing.com
We signed the "Call on Obama to include Alternatives in Health Plan" petition!

Alternative medicine has been proven to work over and over again. Acupuncture, Reiki & many other healing "alternative" medicines work. I URGE you to include them and give the choice of healing back to each individual. (Yes, I did vote for you!)

Alternative Medicine works well along side Western Medicine. It is usually cheaper and helps to change a patient's unhealthy lifestyle. Help Heal America. Please.

Please Mr. President
Help get the chemicals out of food and offer the children better health education so they can make educatioal choices of what they put in their mouth.
Please pass laws against animal cruelty to farmed animals and return fresh produce to our stores absent of chemicals and genetically modifying.

I wrote Obama when he was elected.... saying:
Acupuncture works. It is low -tech and effective.

Outside of surgery, western medicine can manage 30 diseases with pharmaceuticals most of which create side effects, which also need pharmaceuticals. Thank you for listening to health care workers all over the country who aid with alternative and preventative medicine.
Yes, we believe our work is helpful, healing and contributes to the well-being of many. The first thing necessary is educating people on the benefits. Alternative medicine enhances people with the responsibility of educating themselves and taking care of their own health. What is more important to any health plan?

Thank you for being willing to listen to the grass-roots voice of the people of this great country. Alternative medicine needs to be covered by insurance so that it is affordable and people truly have a choice for the treatment they desire. This is long overdue. Many people have sufferred, died needlessly, and have been financially and emotionally broken because this issue was not addressed. Yes, this also needs to be regulated but so does the medical industry and pharmaceuticals. I pray that you will have the strength and fortitude to deal with aggressive well-paid lobbies that do not have the interests of the well-being of the people in our country as part of their agenda. God Bless you and keep you and your family well and safe.

Dear President Obama,
I was a supporter in your recent campaign and am a Jewish Clergyman as well. I believe in supporting the health and raw, natural and organic ways of eating and would love to see you put your brilliant efforts with a concern towards this community.
Blessings in your new position.

Naturopathy, massage, chiropractic, nutritional counseling and acupuncture are vital to the health of this nation.
Pharmaceuticals, with their outrageous prices, have dominated the health care field for too long. Please allow
alternatives -- it is imperative!

Dear Mr. President,
So many lives could be saved if we practiced true preventive medicine as opposed to reactive medicine. Drugs and complex medical procdures should be our last line of defense, not our first. Exercise, the eating of healthy organically grown foods, stress reduction techniques, etc would go a long way to making us a healthier nation. In my opinion, todays practice of medicine borders on insanity, and is bankrupting our nation. Genetically engineered foods, animal factory farming, the mega farm lobby that supports our present very destructive farming methods, etc. are truly responsible for so much illness in our nation. Cattle on giant feedlots being fed a very un-natural diet of GMO herbicide sprayed corn, and soy to fatten them up faster for larger profits is just one example of farming gone mad in our nation. The meat lacks many important nutrients that is found in grassed fed beef suchas C.L.A., and a better ratio of good fats to bad fats, whic grass fed cows are richer in. Many fruits, vegetable, and grains grown today have much lower amounts of nutrients than their counter parts of even just 50 years ago , or today's mmuch healthier organic alternatives. Shame on the American Congress (both parties) that more and more Americans are believing is owned by corp. lobbyist., and so much ot todays so called sciene is bought and paid for by special interests. It's time to hear the voices of typical hardworkiong regular,intelligent Americans. They know more how to solve problems, than so many so called experts. Anyway this nation's healthcare system needs to change soon, or we will go broke. Lawyers also need to reined in. We have become a totally litigious nation, with so many outrageous law suits, taht waste lots of time and money. I could go on and on, but I sometimes feel it it just a waste of time to contact most people in the congress. I hope that I am proven wrong on the health issues facing the nation.
With Great Respect And Hope For Changes that truly helps the msjority of Americans, and our planet, Mark Raskin

As a holistic dietitian, I find it disgraceful that this nation lacks any ounce of nutritional knowledge. Obviously conventional medicine just doesn't work. Doctors don't even take basic nutrition classes in medical school. They should learn from Dr. Andrew Weil (yes, look him up). I am blessed with the knowledge and empowerment that I have regarding disease prevention. I can't say the same about the average American. Until things change, I wish them lots of luck!

As a holistic dietitian, I am appalled at the food policies in this country. We are a disgusting, stupid, brainwashed nation whose only care is profits, not the well-being of the people. It's pretty sad that we are the unhealthiest industrialized nation in the world. Maybe one day I'll witness the promotion of broccoli instead of Lipitor.
