Amazing Victory for Health Freedom in America

 

By Rick Shalvo

Health Freedom Advocate

 

 

One of the greatest physicians of our time, board-certified oncologist

and anti-aging specialist James Forsythe, M.D., H.M.D., has finally

been cleared of any wrongdoing and elevated to the level of protocol

opinion leader after a long series of vicious attacks initiated by a

rogue FDA agent. These attacks were then perpetuated by the U.S.

Attorney's office in the form of a criminal indictment and an

unrelenting investigation.

 

The appropriate use of natural hormone replacement therapy for

wellness, and wonderful supplements such as Poly MVA (palladium lipoic

complex) for cancer patients, have been vindicated as well.

 

The FDA agent who told Dr. Forsythe's cancer patients that the Poly MVA

they were taking was "poison" must now swallow the poison of knowing

that his attack on those patients' health freedom has ended in complete

and utter failure?a great victory for cancer patients everywhere.

 

Appropriate use of Poly MVA for cancer patients has prevailed against a

vicious attack prompted by its own success. The FDA began this

particular attack in 2005 after concluding that the reported remission

rates among those patients in the Poly MVA study were "too good to be

true."

 

 

Charges against Dr. Forsythe were based on an allegation regarding the

primary source of the human growth hormone he was innocently ordering

from a licensed pharmacy in Carson City, Nevada. It is now quite clear

that this was a smokescreen excuse contrived in an effort to justify

tormenting Dr. Forsythe to prevent him from continuing his outstanding

work with cancer patients.

James Forsythe M.D. Cleared of Any Wrongdoing

 

Reno, NV - Well known Nevada medical oncologist and anti-aging

physician, James Forsythe M.D., H.M.D. was cleared today of any

wrongdoing in a thirty month federal investigation and criminal

indictment by the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Attorney's

office into the use of human growth hormone.

 

"It was unfortunate that this investigation was ever initiated.

Everyone now understands that questioning the use of human growth

hormone was terribly misguided, and I am grateful to be vindicated,"

says Forsythe.

 

Dr. Forsythe's attorney Kevin Mirch says not only has justice been

served but the FDA has requested that Forsythe author the very first

protocols for the use of human growth hormone in the medical community

across the nation. "This is the first time in the history of the FDA

that they have asked a doctor in private practice to draw up the

guidelines for using a drug," says Mirch, and adds, "This is a complete

reversal of their original intentions when they went after my client

two years ago."

 

Forsythe, age 68, has been a pioneer in integrative therapies and

wellness medicine for more than thirty years. His Century Wellness

Clinic and Cancer Screening and Treatment Center of Nevada have drawn

thousands of patients from all over the world and have also turned

Forsythe into an educator in his own profession.

 

"There is far too much misunderstanding in the medical establishment as

to the efficacy of a number of alternative therapies such as hormone

replacement therapy." says Forsythe. "I'm sure this has been a learning

experience for the FDA and the federal government and I am looking

forward to working with the FDA in educating medical professionals and

regulatory officials as to the best uses for human growth hormone.

 

Forsythe, a retired Army colonel and doctor in Vietnam, has been

through many tough situations in his life but says that the last two

years have been the most difficult. Not only did he know that what he

was going through was totally unjustified, but the investigation was

also placing a tremendous burden on his ability to treat more patients.

 

"I have never lost my passion to bring healing and hope to as many

people as possible. I can increase my patient work load again now that

the federal government has seen fit to drop all charges and even go as

far as to encourage me to keep doing what I've been doing all along."

 

 

Thank you so much for making the Health Freedom movement the powerful

expression of citizen concern it has become. We volunteer our time so

your voice can be heard, but we must cover the Foundation's expenses,

so your voice will have the power it deserves. Please give generously!

 

 

Health Freedom Protection Act

 

From a previous article by Rick Shalvo

May 17, 2006

 

 

H.R. 4282, the Health Freedom Protection Act, introduced by Congressman

Ron Paul, MD (R-Texas) et al., is clearly the most important piece of

health-related legislation in Congress at this time. The act would

allow dietary supplement producers to exercise their First Amendment

right to notify the public when scientific evidence regarding a

supplement's health benefits has been validated.

 

All such claims would be scrutinized by the FDA before being approved

and the FDA would retain its authority to attack false or misleading

claims. The agency would not, however, be able to continue its present

practice of either completely prohibiting or arbitrarily censoring all

dietary supplement health claims, which it has done even when

overwhelming evidence confirms lifesaving health benefits accompanied

by huge health care cost reductions.

 

 

Federal censorship of the valid claim that adequate consumption of

omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduces the risk of sudden death

heart attack, for example, absolutely contributes to the fact that

America's heart attack death rate remains so appallingly high. During

the past 12 years, while heart attacks have taken the lives of an

estimated six million Americans, we have known all along that a

substantial percentage of these deaths could have been prevented with

the omega-3 nutritional intervention. Why, then, does the FDA-approved

language for omega-3 fatty acids shortchange the truth that can

literally save lives?

 

 

I must tell you that I am not a paid lobbyist or a dietary supplement

industry insider. I'm a cancer survivor who supports clinical and in

vitro cancer research.

 

Dietary supplements that happen to be extraordinarily effective as

anti-cancer agents would represent an enormous economic threat to the

therapeutic sector and to the many people who have collectively

invested astronomical amounts of money in the public corporations that

profit from the cancer therapy status quo. If such supplements exist,

they should be thoroughly studied and the data should be published.

 

 

In fact, such supplements do exist, and the FDA is doing everything in

its unrestrained power to undermine these supplements by sabotaging the

Science that supports their safety and efficacy.

 

 

One characteristically vicious campaign began on the morning of

February 16, 2005 with an ambush at the home of a board-certified

oncologist in Reno, Nevada who is using a remarkably safe palladium

lipoic supplement to save the lives of many Stage IV cancer patients -

patients who have already tried and failed conventional therapy. This

oncologist, Dr. James Forsythe (Retired Colonel, US Army Medical

Corps), has been conducting an outcome-based cancer study and

periodically reporting the unprecedented data to his colleagues.

 

 

Federal agents forced Dr. Forsythe to lie down on the floor of his home

exercise room, held a gun to his head and raided his entire house while

another squad was raiding his medical offices, seizing confidential

patient files, computers and many other business and personal items,

obviously terrifying his wife, staff and patients in the process. The

government's attempt to justify these horrific raids is mind-bogglingly

absurd, involving some convoluted story about "the supplier of one of

his suppliers." Although the "supplier's supplier" story has absolutely

nothing to do with Dr. Forsythe's impeccably administrated cancer

study, obstructing the cancer study ultimately became the focus of the

raiders' obsession.

 

 

The FDA's seek-and-destroy tentacles have now stretched from Nevada to

New York. Once again finding the science to be unblemished, the FDA has

resorted to intimidation tactics to make life miserable for a prominent

scientist at Stony Brook University who has identified exactly how

palladium lipoic complexes induce apoptosis (cellular suicide) in

cancer cells while supporting natural healing processes in normal cells.

 

 

An enacted Health Freedom Protection Act may clear the way for the free

flow of truthful health information, but the FDA's outrageous abuse of

power will likely intensify as the agency will surely redouble its

efforts to attack scientists who are engaged in research that may give

rise to such information.

 

 

In this great nation, government censorship that contributes to our

horrendous morbidity and mortality statistics and police-state raids on

the homes and offices of honorable, superbly credentialed health care

professionals are atrocities of unspeakable magnitude.
