Dear Commissions and Bureau of Consumer Protection Officials:

 

 

 

This open letter is in response to the e-mailed notice that you sent to our

customer service representative at www.cureforSARS.net wherein you wrote:

 

 

 

“The Federal Trade Comission staff has reviewed marketing claims on your web

site . . .” and that “we remind you that the FTC Act requires that

health-related claims, . . . [for] SARS must be supported by competent and

reliable scientific evidence at the time the claims are made.”

 

 

 

This provides you with notice of three health-related claims that we are making

regarding SARS and our Internet communications: 1) The scientific evidence

supporting our justifiable claims regarding the utility of a plant-based formula

for SARS is available on our website--www.cureforSARS.net—based on the

scientific publication by Towers, et al.(1995) from the Journal of

Ethnopharmacology; 2) We do not recognize the FDA, or your “commission” in

collaboration with them, pursuant to this notice, as anything other than

irresponsible, misplaced, and misdirected authority; and 3) The insidious

economic motive behind your political notice is transparent among well-educated

consumers and natural healthcare investigators and providers.

 

 

 

Such commercial interference, allegedly on behalf of American consumers and

public health, is rooted in the advancing Anglo-American global Codex

Alimentarious legislation that seeks to control all non-patent-protected natural

cures and treatments on behalf of multinational drug companies (best termed the

“global petrochemical–pharmaceutical cartel”).

 

 

 

In other words, we view the FDA’s widely publicized persuasion campaign

attacking natural healing practitioners and formula manufacturers as a real life

enactment of the “Wizard of Oz.” Pull back the curtain and behold who profits

pulling strings on your commission and the FDA overstepped authority.

 

 

 

We notice that responsibility for your electronic notification was signed, not

by a person, but by your non-human organization/entity. For your information and

official notification, we only respect and respond to real people.

 

 

 

As sovereign individuals subservient to only one Creator, we rebuke any and all

misplaced authority in your “commission.” We do this cognizant of rapidly

advancing multinational corporate efforts increasingly administered through the

World Health Organization (WHO), affecting global drug sales, healthcare

policies, and contrived declarations of urgencies directed against nation states

to compel compliance with neocolonialistic politics, policies, and interventions

inconsistent with personal freedoms and democratic governments.

 

 

 

Your transparent efforts may be effective in deceiving the general population,

but most of us in the natural healing arts and sciences are not fooled or

frightened by your threats.

 

 

 

Most members of our allied organizations view as inexcusable, if not despicable,

increasing German–American political efforts to suppress natural healing methods

and materials. This includes new SARS treatments and potential cures at a time

of global urgency when, in fact, government health officials in the hardest hit

nations, including China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tawain, have been embracing

herbal and plant-derived natural medicines for the prevention and treatment of

SARS.

 

 

 

We notice your commission and the FDA turns a blind eye to the promotion and use

of the experimental, expensive, and highly toxic drug Ribaviron, never tested

against the SARS-associated coronavirus, yet widely promoted as the standard for

SARS patient care since before anyone knew the illness was linked to a

coronavirus. Reflecting on the FDA’s and your commission’s official tolerance of

this harmful, if not lethal, practice by the mainstream media and medical

doctors treating SARS patients adequately exposes your hypocrisy.

 

 

 

American tax dollars would be far better spent having your commission and the

FDA address the third leading cause of death in the United States—iatrogenesis,

that is, physician-induced illnesses and lethal drug side effects. How do you

have the audacity to virtually disregard this pervasive public health threat,

yet proclaim throughout the media our natural healthcare industry’s

shortcomings?

 

 

 

What is most sad is your organizations’ manipulation of the average American who

does not comprehend this joint FDA/FCC attack for what it really is—simply a

promotion to facilitate a form of nutritional and pharmacological slavery

through a political and economic drug agenda called Codex Alimentarious. In

recent years the global drug cartel has sought to pirate and patent anything

uncontrolled in nature’s bounty. Examples of this, in recent months, include

further violations of freedom of choice with declared restraints on ginseng

production and the classification and labeling of stevia—the natural therapeutic

sugar substitute—as a regulated “nutritional supplement” rather than a food.

 

 

 

Beyond these reasons for our disregard of your authority, there are many more

egregious violations of human rights perpetrated by those with whom you are

associated. One example involves the origin of HIV/AIDS and the FDA’s apparent

role, in collaboration with the Merck pharmaceutical company and the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), having cooperatively produced the 1974

hepatitis B vaccines tested on gay men in New York City and Central African

Black women. According to the most recent scientific evidence cited and

discussed at www.originofAIDS.com, this collaboration played a major role in

triggering the international AIDS pandemic.

 

 

 

In conclusion, we will not be intimidated, coerced, or corrupted by your drug

company collaborating administration and/or commission. We understand that

mostly well-meaning persons within your ranks have been persuaded, largely by

deception, to act as agents on behalf of the above named global menaces. We

simply rebuke your misdirected, politically contrived authority, yet remain open

to serving your policy-makers by sharing, in every way possible, the uncommon

intelligence required to expose and arrest the “Wizard of Oz behind the curtain”

for the sake of world health and the public’s protection.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

NOTICE OF POTENTIAL ILLEGAL MARKETING OF PRODUCTS OR THERAPIES

 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

BUREAU OF CONSUMER PROTECTION

WASHINGTON, DC 20580

 

 

VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL

 

TO: www.cureforsars.net

 

RE: NOTICE OF POTENTIAL ILLEGAL MARKETING OF PRODUCTS OR THERAPIES TO PREVENT,

TREAT, OR CURE SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS)

 

DATE: MAY 12, 2003

 

Federal Trade Commission staff has reviewed marketing claims on your web site

relating to the prevention, treatment or cure of Severe Acute Respiratory

Syndrome (SARS). We remind you that the FTC Act requires that health-related

claims, such as claims that a dietary supplement will prevent, treat or cure

SARS, or claims that an air filtration device or cleaning agent can kill or

eliminate the virus thought to cause SARS, must be supported by competent and

reliable scientific evidence at the time the claims are made. In other words, it

is against the law to make health claims, whether directly or indirectly through

the use of a product name, web site name, metatags, or any other means, without

scientific support or to exaggerate the benefits of products or services you are

promoting. Violations of the FTC Act may result in legal action in the form of

Federal District Court injunction or Administrative Order. An order also may

require that you pay money back to consumers.

 

In addition, claims that a product is intended to prevent, diagnose, mitigate,

treat, or cure SARS may cause the product to be an unapproved new drug or device

under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). The Act prohibits the

introduction into interstate commerce of unapproved new drugs and certain

devices.

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), SARS is an

infectious respiratory illness that appears to be spread primarily by close

person-to-person contact by cough or sneeze allowing droplets containing

infectious virus to reach the respiratory tract of persons in close proximity.

SARS may also be spread by touching objects contaminated with infectious

droplets and then touching one's eye(s), nose, or mouth. Although federal and

world health authorities are investigating possible vaccines to prevent SARS and

drugs to treat the illness, there are currently no medicines proven to prevent,

treat or cure SARS or the coronavirus believed to be the cause of SARS.

 

If you are marketing a dietary supplement for SARS, you should also be aware

that a broad coalition of representatives of the dietary supplement industry has

issued a joint statement indicating that no dietary supplement has been shown to

prevent or treat SARS and advising against the marketing of dietary supplements

as a remedy for SARS. The joint statement of the American Herbal Products

Association, Consumer Healthcare Products Association, Council for Responsible

Nutrition, National Nutritional Foods Association, and Utah Natural Products

Alliance is available through those organizations' web sites.

 

 

Action Requested

 

The FTC staff strongly urges you to review all claims you are making for your

products, particularly claims that your products can prevent, mitigate, treat or

cure SARS. If your claims are not supported by competent and reliable scientific

evidence they should be deleted or revised immediately.

 

FTC investigators have copied and preserved the pages of your online promotional

materials and will be revisiting your website soon.

 

Please notify us via electronic mail to cureall within 7 days of the

specific actions you have taken to address the agency's concerns.
