He's done this before, in 2013. He was let off then with a warning to stop. He didn't.
Wow! What a criminal! He produces a salve from natural ingredients to treat skin cancers.....and it appears to work for quite a few people. This is the kind of legal action that makes me wonder why the real criminals are walking around scot-free and the ones whose crime wouldn't hurt a fly get arrested? What a crazy world!
What is his crime in the big scheme of things? Seriously.
Look at these dangerous ingredients in "Original Chickweed"......Rosemary, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Peppermint, Chickweed, Eucalyptus, Lavender and Comphrey.Scary.
This is taken from the FDA's website......
"FDA requested the seizure, the complaint says, because the products claim to treat or cure diseases but have not received FDA approval, and are not exempt from such approval requirements. Moreover, the complaint says, the seized products contain ingredients that could cause toxic or allergic reactions in consumers sensitive to these ingredients. According to the federal complaint, Chickweed Healing Salve contains comfrey, which may increase the risk of systemic toxicity, and To-More-Gone contains bloodroot, a caustic, corrosive substance that produces a thick scar that can mask tumor recurrence. In addition, the seized products are “misbranded” under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
“Two important protections for the public are that a firm may not sell new drugs unless they have been tested and approved by FDA and a firm may not make false or unsubstantiated claims about drugs they sell,” said Dara A. Corrigan, associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “When a firm disregards these protections, it not only violates the law but also creates a risk for consumers, who may rely on a bogus product and forego effective and proven treatment. FDA must and will take aggressive enforcement action.”
According to the federal complaint, Notions-n-Things Distribution was inspected by the FDA on Jan. 25, 2012, in response to a consumer complaint regarding the product Chickweed Healing Salve and claims in pamphlets that stated the product helps treat skin cancer. A previous complainant used the product on skin cancer on her leg, the complaint says, and the product reportedly made her condition worse, requiring medical treatment."

In other words, anything that might cure an ailment can't be sold without "approval" because the vested interests of pharmaceutical companies might be compromised. It isn't because the product can cause harm to certain people....how many people have harmful side effects from "approved" drugs? How many people die each year from prescription medications?
Do these ingredients burn the skin? Doesn't radiation therapy? Does chemotherapy often take cancer patients to the brink of death? Obviously they do, and many actually die from the treatment itself.....but these are fully "approved".
You don't seem to realize what a dangerous thing modern medicine is. Prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death in the world.
Now these are the "approved" drugs......makes the stuff sold by Mr Girod look like jelly beans.Such a criminal!
The "Health Industry" (or should we say "ill health industry") isn't driven by care and concern for patients' welfare...its driven by
You seem to have no idea what lengths these people will go to, to shut down any opposition, especially when it comes to their major cash cow.....cancer. Cures for cancer have been around for hundreds of years......but none of them can be employed by a certified medical practitioner because he is not allowed to recommend them even if he thinks they are the better option. He will lose his license to practice medicine if he recommends anything not approved by the FDA. His only options are chemotherapy, radiation or surgery....each one of them is known to make a sick patient's cancer, worse. There is a reason why those who undergo chemotherapy have a stronger chance of the cancer returning. The chemo sets them up for a more devastating return. Radiation actually causes cancer, and surgery can often release cancer cells into the bloodstream where it can metastasize.
While the names of the charges were different, we're effectively talking about fraud, negligence, and reckless indifference.What is his crime in the big scheme of things? Seriously.
Your article is surprisingly short on facts.
That source is less sermon, but still surprising short on facts.
