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

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@ftc.gov within 7 days of the specific actions you have taken to address the agency's concerns.
