Grassley To Be Feted By Alternative Med Group
Sam Brunelli of the Whitaker Health Freedom Foundation, the political arm of Freedom of Health Foundation, which advocates for alternative medicine practices, is planning a June 24 breakfast fundraiser for Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Sunlight Foundation's Political Party Time reports.
The Whitaker Health Freedom Foundation was founded by Dr. Julian Whitaker of nutrition supplement fame.
Brunelli was executive director of the conservative state-focused group American Legislative Exchange Council, but in 1995 was ousted over charges of financial mismanagement, National Journal reported. (subscription)
Grassley has earned a strong reputation as a crusader for drug safety -- but he also has a record of supporting the alternative health industry, which some consumer critics say is inadequately regulated.

The alternative medicine is indeed taking of strong and it definitely needs regulations. There are various supplements such as anabolic steroids that are still in a gray zone and need to be placed into a specific category.
