James J. Gormley: Champion of Health Freedom and Natural Products AdvocacyJames J. Gormley (1963–2024) was a formidable voice in the natural products industry, renowned for his incisive journalism, policy expertise, and unyielding defense of consumer health rights.

At CFH (https://citizens.org), he spearheaded campaigns against FDA overreach, including the defeat of anti-supplement dietary ingredient guidance and restrictive dietician bills, amassing thousands of petitions to influence lawmakers. His testimony before the NYC Council and collaborations with co-founder Jim Turner amplified pro-consumer reforms, such as protecting "organic" labeling and advancing acupuncture integration.Gormley's publications spanned consumer and trade media, earning accolades like the Sacred Fire of Liberty Excellence in Health Journalism Award. He penned columns for Nutritional Outlook ("Global Regulations") and blogs for SupplySide Community and "The Gormley Files," dissecting regulatory battles with wit and rigor. As Editor-in-Chief of Better Nutrition and Editorial Director of Vitamin Retailer Magazine Group, he shaped industry discourse on trends, sustainability, and compliance.A prolific author of six books, Gormley's works blended science, advocacy, and critique. His magnum opus, Health at Gunpoint: The FDA's Silent War Against Health Freedom (2013), exposes the agency's evolution from protector to corporate ally, chronicling scandals like aspartame approvals and supplement restrictions. Earlier titles include User's Guide to Brain-Boosting Supplements (2004), demystifying nootropics; User's Guide to Treating Lyme Disease (2008), on integrative protocols; and Health Benefits of Phosphatidylserine (PS) (2005), a basic health guide. Co-authored volumes like The Probiotic Revolution (2006) highlight microbiome science.Gormley's legacy endures through CFH's ongoing fights for health sovereignty.
