The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is at war with online retailers of

nutritional supplements and natural remedies, but it recently lost a major

battle: Lane Labs, which has suffered under FTC and FDA tyranny for years,

recently won a significant battle against the corrupt agency. After the FTC

tried to sue Lane Labs for $24 million, claiming " contempt of court " for the

company telling the truth about the efficacy of its products, a federal

judge ruled against the FTC, explaining that Lane Labs

l) was

telling the scientifically-validated truth about its products when it described

their health benefits.

 

 

This defeat of the FTC's latest attempt to censor the truth about

nutritional supplements is making waves in the nutrition industry. It signals a

crack in the wall of FTC tyranny and a possible route for establishing Free

Speech for nutritional supplement companies that only seek to tell the truth

about their products.

 

 

In the world of truth-telling, no one speaks the truth about natural

remedies more openly and honorably than a small company called Daniel Chapter

One (_www.DanielChapterOne.com_ (http://www.danielchapterone.com/) ), a

religious ministry that also sells anti-cancer herbs, many of which are

advocated

in the Bible and other religious writings. Supported by a radio show and a

website, Daniel Chapter One dares to tell people the truth about its

natural remedies, even in the face of extreme intimidation and threats from the

FTC. _http://www.naturalnews.com/the_FTC.html_

The FTC is demanding that Daniel Chapter One lie to all its customers by

signing and distributing a document claiming their natural cancer remedies

do not work. That same document would also direct customers to the National

Cancer Institute -- a pro-Pharma government group engaged in widespread

scientific fraud and public disinformation campaigns (the NCI runs ads warning

people to avoid all sunlight, for example, promoting widespread vitamin D

deficiencies).

 

 

Daniel Chapter One needs your support, and it's an organization worth

fighting for. They are, in essence, taking point position on a very dangerous

mission, working to break the FTC's iron grip and restore Free Speech rights

to the entire industry. Although Jim and Trish have been threatened with

imprisonment, having their products confiscated, having their ministry

raided and shut down and being fined millions of dollars, they have held firm

in

their belief that telling the truth about medicinal herbs is their

God-given right.

 

 

Today, Daniel Chapter One finds itself embattled against the federal

government, standing virtually alone in an industry where most companies are

too

intimidated to stand up for their own rights. To help promote health

freedom, they've launched another website called Daniel Chapter One Freedom

(_http://danielchapteronefreedom.com_ (http://danielchapteronefreedom.com/) ),

and I encourage you to join their email newsletter on that site. Write your

representatives in Washington, too, to insist that the FTC end their

attempts to silence and intimidate not just Daniel Chapter One but other

nutritional supplement companies as well.

 

 

The FTC's attack on Daniel Chapter One is more than just an assault on

Free Speech, by the way: It's also an assault on religious freedom. The

organization is a ministry, after all, but that hasn't stopped the FTC from

threatening to imprison its founders.

 

 

Today, Daniel Chapter One issued an important press release, reprinted

here in full for you to read:

 

 

Announcement from Daniel Chapter One

 

 

The Federal Trade Commission Administrative Law Judge just Ordered Daniel

Chapter One to stop sharing truthful health information and testimonies,

not only about their 7 Herb Formula, BioShark, BioMixx and GDU but " about ANY

dietary supplement, food, drug, or other health related product, service,

or program. "

 

 

Fight for Right:

In Sept. 2008 the health ministry Daniel Chapter One was attacked by the

Federal Trade Commission and charged with making what the FTC calls

" implied " claims about their dietary supplements. Without warning or grace

period,

Daniel Chapter One was struck with an FTC Order that was extremely

burdensome in its demands. More offensive than the threat of a large monetary

fine

was the demand that Daniel Chapter One turn over personal customer

information, censure its health information, send a deceptive letter to its

community, and agree that the FTC could spy on them and their associates for the

next 20 years.

 

 

Jim Feijo, Overseer of Daniel Chapter One, and his wife Tricia Feijo,

resolved to fight for Constitutional and Consumer rights. Mr. Feijo strongly

believes he has done nothing that he is not entitled to do under

Constitutional Law, and chose to fight rather than allow unrighteousness to rule

over

righteousness. The attack on Daniel Chapter One is not an isolated case of

its kind, but Daniel Chapter One is the only dietary supplement group

standing up and actively fighting this unconstitutional government behavior for

the good of all. The FTC seeks to oppress and censure natural health

information, and if not stopped will continue to tyrannize dietary supplement

companies and will ultimately create a vacuum of health information for the

public.

 

 

Bureaucratic Assault on Freedom:

On Aug. 5, 2009, after a preliminary hearing in Washington DC, the FTC

judge ruled against the small ministry, charging Daniel Chapter One with

" violation of the FTC Act " , which states that pharmaceutical drugs ONLY can

claim to be of benefit for any particular health condition. Daniel Chapter One

was found guilty only of breaking FTC rules as determined by an FTC Judge in

an FTC court according to FTC definitions of words and all for making what

FTC called " implied " claims!

 

 

The Commission charged Daniel Chapter One with false practices, NOT

according to the FTC " falsity theory " (i.e. NOT because Daniel Chapter One

health

information is untrue) but based upon the FTC " reasonable basis theory. "

By this measure, only double-blind placebo controlled studies and FDA

approved drug status suffice as " reasonable basis " to make even

structure/function health claims, a rule which only benefits the pharmaceutical

industry –

not the American consumer seeking helpful health information. No historical

knowledge, consumer experience, or traditional practice satisfies FTC

demands. Only the label of drug satisfies FTC demands. Dietary supplements,

including herbs and nutrients, are not drugs.

 

 

In 23 years, Daniel Chapter One has never had a single complaint that

their products or information harmed any one in any way, but rather, thousands

have claimed that they have helped. A total of 5 Expert Witnesses,

professionals renowned in their field of Science, Naturopathy, and Herbology,

each

testified that there is substantial scientific evidence for the health and

product information shared by Daniel Chapter One. Over 80 Fact Witnesses

were willing to testify on behalf of the safety and efficacy of Daniel

Chapter One products; the FTC limited the number to 10. Before those witnesses

were given an opportunity to testify, they were dismissed as " irrelevant " , and

blocked from testifying. The testimonies of the doctors who offered Expert

testimony were all shot down as " irrelevant " by the FTC also. The judge

refused to watch videos or to listen to any of the hundreds of recorded

testimonies offered by Daniel Chapter One.

 

 

The entire FTC case against Daniel Chapter One was based on the testimony

of their one " Expert " , an oncologist who has worked for the last 20 years

managing chemo-drug trials for the pharmaceutical industry. He referred to

the many affidavit testimonies of Daniel Chapter One, people sent home to

die with cancer but healed and alive today, as " worthless " . He clearly only

spoke one language; that of the drug industry.

 

 

Resisting Government Coercion:

Against Mr. Feijo's beliefs and the Daniel Chapter One ministry message,

the FTC has once again ordered that a letter written by the FTC be signed by

Mr. Feijo and sent out to all Daniel Chapter One consumers, saying that

there is no scientific substantiation to suggest herbal and nutritional

products can improve health and healing, and that only " conventional cancer

treatments have been scientifically proven safe and effective " for those with

cancer. The letter promotes the website and phone of the National Cancer

Institute.

 

 

This demand is despotic and completely unacceptable. Mr. Feijo absolutely

refuses to lie for a corrupt pharmaceutical industry, to appease an

out-of-control FTC watchdog. He maintains his allegiance to Yahweh, the Most

High

God, and to his fellow man.

 

 

The FTC has also ordered that Mr. Feijo and Daniel Chapter One stop

sharing truthful information with the public about their products and ministry.

Three times now Daniel Chapter One has refused to settle.

 

 

Standing Up For Freedom:

Daniel Chapter One is Standing against this assault on First Amendment

Rights: For the sake of Religious Freedom, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the

Press, and Freedom of Assembly! Daniel Chapter One is Standing to defend the

Rights of Americans to receive truthful health information so they have

INFORMED CHOICE. Without Choice, there is no Freedom!

 

 

Daniel Chapter One is standing to defend every individual's unalienable

rights under God to pursue Life, Liberty, and Happiness. Every time the FTC

succeeds in blocking truthful information from the public, they disallow

every citizen the right to freely, personally pursue those things. Health

Freedom Fight: Individuals and groups around the country are joining and

supporting the Daniel Chapter One Health Freedom Fight!

 

 

Daniel Chapter One has become part of a growing national debate -- and now

the poster child -- for the right of the individual to information and

choice when it comes to health care. The Health Freedom movement is demanding

that the FTC be brought back into alignment with the Constitution of the

United States of America. Health Freedom fighters say it's time to reign in a

government agency that has become a public enemy.

 

 

Right now, in Congress, there are two critical Bills introduced by Dr. Ron

Paul, H.R. 3395 The Health Freedom Act, and H.R. 3394, The Freedom of

Health Speech Act, which prevents the Federal Trade Commission from taking

action against anyone communicating a health benefit for a product they offer,

unless the FTC first establishes based on clear and convincing evidence

that the statement made is false and that its communication causes harm to the

public. For more information regarding this Bill, please click below:
