Sweet Remedy Week of Mental Health with Beth Clay! - a podcast by HealthHarmony Nwk

Ms. Clay is a former Senior Professional Staff Member who led the health care oversight team on the House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight with then Chairman Dan Burton of Indiana. The investigations and conducted hearings included looking into the over medicating of very young children labeled with ADHD, the role of complementary and alternative medicine in our health care system, dietary supplement regulation, vaccine injury and the epidemic increase of rates of autism spectrum disorders.

Ms. Clay first became known in the complementary and alternative medicine community from her work both in the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Alternative Medicine and subsequently the United States Congress. She was recruited from the NIH to lead a Congressional inquiry looking at the role of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in our health care system. This would expand to look at the implementation of dietary supplement health and education act of 1994.

While working for Congress, Ms. Clay served as a member of the US Delegation to the CODEX Alimentarius Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (A WTO level regulatory authority). She has since worked to limit the restrictive impact of CODEX on vitamin and mineral supplements in the United States.

In 1999, the more than 1 million families living with autism in the United States would come to know Beth as the open-minded, dedicated Congressional staffer working with Congressman Dan Burton to evaluate why there was an epidemic rise in the rates of autism spectrum disorders.

After  resigning her government position. Ms. Clay has remained active philanthropically on veterans and children’s health issues. She serves as an International Human Rights Commissioner with the Citizens Commission for Human Rights (www.cchrint.org).
