false claims of cancer cures

[Guest guest]

Government Action

The outrageous nature of Barefoot's claims has triggered regulatory action here

and abroad. In June 2003, the United Kingdom's Independent Television Commission

(ITC) announced that it had levied a £60,000 fine on the television shopping

channel, Shop America (a subsidiary of Trustar Global Media) for several

breaches of the ITC's Advertising Code. The main offense was an ad which claimed

that Bob Barefoot's Coral Calcium Supreme could help reverse cancer and other

serious diseases and could benefit everyone, including babies. The penalty also

covered misleading ads for the Fresh Start diet plan and a golfing product [23].

One week later, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission charged Barefoot, Trudeau,

Shop America (USA), and Deonna Enterprises with making unsubstantiated claims

that " go far beyond existing scientific evidence regarding the recognized health

benefits of coral calcium. " The FTC filed suit in Chicago federal court abd

quickly obtiained a temporary restraining order and an asset freeze. In

addition, the FTC and FDA sent warnings to many Web site operators who are

making similar claims [24] and U.S. Marshals seized $2.6 million worth of Coral

Calcium Supreme [25].

Hi Loren

While this (below) is a statement of fact, and both Barefoot and Trudeau

were found to be very sloppy with their statements, bringing it up in the

context of Miracle II products is not applicable. Not all calcium (or

magnesium, or whatever) carbonates are made equal. While current science

does not even know how to measure it, there is such a thing as

living/hydrophilic mineral that is much more bio-available than the dead

beach sand many " coral calcium " marketers used. Much like with any other

thing, there will be hucksters, and people cheating others just to make a

quick dollar. Not everybody is like that.

You may find it of interest that Clayton Tedeton was taken on by the

regulators who wanted to run him out of business and make him stop selling

his products. This attack failed, because Tedeton's claims stood up in the

court of law.

The Neutralizer contains ionic forms of magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

Plus some other stuff. For example, the first ingredient listed is prayer.

What can you sat about that?

It's making false claims that gets you in trouble. I had a long talk with an

attorney who works in this field of FDA and marketing of alternative stuff.

She said you can make and even sell about anything as long as you don't make

health claims for it---even if you give it away you can't claim it cures

cancer, aids or anything else.

So if I make a product that stops cancer from spreading according to

numerous reports of people who've used it, I can't claim that without

getting into trouble.

Any mineral has to be in ionic form to be utilized and that takes

hydrochloric acid in the stomach. According to Dr. (look up

on internet), many older people don't produce enough HCl to properly utilize

their food. Many cancer patients die of malnutrition.

I take betaine hydrochloride and/or pancreatic enzymes to assure reasonable

digestion and of course the magnesium of any type but oxide to keep things

moving.

With respect to prayer, you're on your own.

This is precisely what I am trying to convey: we don't claim a cure to

anything. Webelieve that these products help strengthen and support the

immune system, which then helps each individual restore itself through the

homeostatic action. One could say the same thing about eating raw food, such

as salads - only these products help you restore the balance faster.

If the mineral is already a chloride, it does not require a reaction with

hydrochloric acid to become one ....

This has been a well tested method. But it is not the only one.

I think I understand that you are saying that you don't believe in it.

Fortunately this is precisely where we are NOT on our own. Numerous studies

have proven that people that have been prayed for have had faster post

operative recovery times, shorter hospital visits, and in general a better

chance of recovering from serious conditions. So I would ask my friends to

pray for me if I needed help ...

In fact, let's all pray so that we may have the wisdom to know the

difference between a useless and helpful supplement, and that the regulator

will not interfere with our ability to exercise our right to choose.
