W A R N I N G! W A R N I N G! W A R N I N G!: According to the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration . . . This Site Could Be Hazardous to Your Health!
The TRUTH is – that they want you to have NO CHOICE! Stick to the party line! That’s it! Big business and global conglomerates want every damned cent, which you are ever to spend for the health of you and your loved ones – AND MORE!
For nearly 40 years, the Cancer Protocols of Dr. William D. Kelley and other scientific researchers have been able to prove the lies and deceit of the Medical Establishment.
If you wish to investigate on your own – you do so at your own risk. If you choose NOT to investigate – you do so at your own risk! Look through this site – especially at the links, “Is Your Dr. a Serial Killer” and “Water, Water, Everywhere.” If you have the guts to learn what these government agencies are doing “for our health” – then go for it! Then you’ll understand why they deem sites like this to be . . . Hazardous to Your Health! (Ed.)
The latest federal crackdown on Internet fraud has netted six companies accused of using the Web to push bogus cures for everything from Alzheimer’s to AIDS.
The six cases stem from a joint task force conducted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) called “Operation Cure-All.” The agencies established the program last summer to go after companies touting various devices, herbal products and other dietary supplements as cures for a number of serious diseases.
“Many of the Web sites targeted today are jeopardizing the health and safety of consumers with outlandish promises and false hope,” said FTC Chairman Timothy J. Muris. “Unfortunately, examples of questionable products being peddled on the Web abound.”
Among the claims the Web sites made were that customers could forgo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy in favor of herbal medicines that cost hundreds of dollars, according to civil complaints. One company offered a device that purportedly delivered a mild electric current to kill the parasites that cause a series of terminal diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Another site claimed that those with AIDS or HIV could use St. John’s Wort as a safe alternative to treat the disease, when in fact the medical community has gone to great lengths to stress that St. John’s Wort has been shown to actually inhibit the delivery of proven AIDS/HIV drugs.
“It’s bad enough when someone, with little or no evidence, touts unproven remedies to vulnerable populations such as people infected with HIV/AIDS,” said Walter H. Carr, partnership council chairman of the National AIDS Health Fraud Task Force Network. “It’s even more frightening when they do so without so much as a mention of emerging risks that those remedies pose to the very people to whom they are pitching their sale.”
Five of the six companies charged by the FTC with making false and unsubstantiated health and safety claims agreed to settle the claims. The agency has filed a civil case in federal district court against the remaining company.
The settlements prohibit the companies from making any further false claims about their curative properties of their products, and require those selling St. John’s Wort and other supplements display warnings about their potential to interfere with proven treatments. The settlements also force the companies to provide all of their customers over the past two years with a written notice of the settlements and health warnings.

NOTE: It’s been awhile since we’ve added a post-script to our site, but suffice it to say – BEWARE – they are quacks and snake-oil salesmen out there – even on the web – but this article ticked me off because THEY (the boys uptown) make it sound as if everyone offering an alternative treatment to their “approved” quackery – should be condemned to the guillotine.
It is they who should suffer that fate! (Ed.)
