Infamously lobbied for dietary supplements to be sold without prior testing for safety or effectiveness and now champions fake cancer cure GcMAF. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National Health Federation; Formation January 1955; Type Health-freedom organization Website TheNHF.com The National Health Federation (NHF) is a lobbying group which promotes alternative medicine.[1] The NHF is based in California and describes its mission as protecting individuals' rights to use dietary supplements and alternative therapies without government restriction. The NHF also opposes mainstream public-health measures such as water fluoridation and compulsory childhood vaccines. The NHF was founded by Fred J. Hart in 1955, after he was ordered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to cease marketing fraudulent radionics devices.[2] Mainstream medical organizations have criticized the NHF for promoting dubious alternative cancer treatments and health claims; the American Cancer Society recommends that cancer patients avoid products promoted by the NHF,[2] while Quackwatch describes the NHF as "antagonistic to accepted scientific methods as well as to current consumer-protection law."[3]
