Who we are

The Sunshine Health Freedom Foundation is a non profit corporation created exclusively for the promotion, maintaining and expanding health freedom for Americans.  Recognizing that we alone cannot safeguard those freedoms, we call on like-minded concerned citizens. Together, we are the essence of American Democracy: we are Trail Blazers  and Path Finders speaking out to direct Congress to act in our best interests, not those of special interest groups.

Our support comes from people like you and companies like Nature's Sunshine who are determined to be a beacon of light on this path to health freedom and to protect and preserve the right to make their own health choices. This includes the access to herbs, supplements, homeopathic and nutritional medicine. This path to health freedom includes the right to choose natural treatments for diseases and prevention of diseases.

The Sunshine Health Freedom Foundation is a “network of networks” created by "people helping people to a happier, healthier life" and to disseminate the facts, challenges and triumphs in our shared battle to protect, preserve and defend our right to make our own health choices.  We are blazing a trail for generations to come that will allow our children to have health freedom based on what they, not the government, believe are the best choices.
