[Editor's Note: If memory serves me, the pharmaceutical agents running the FDA ran Polish-born Dr. Stanislaw R. Burzynski through 12 grand juries over a period of ten years before they could finally convince enough people on a jury to haul him into court. It took almost two years and close to TWO MILLION DOLLARS for the Burzynski defense team to finally prevail and defeat the unlimited funding (taxpayer money of course) and unlimited resources available to the government persecutors. Burzynski's crime? He healed people who had cancer with a substance he developed called "anti-neoplastons" Now, it's Hulda Clark's turn. Her crime? Educating ordinary people on how to cure themselves of ANY disease condition and do it with far greater success, but with far less pain, and certainly far less money than required by the allopathic medical establishment. The Kangaroo Frame-Up? She's making "false claims' according to the Federal Drug Protection Administration. They want to shut down her web site so that millions of people around the world can no longer access her valuable, life saving information. Ordinary people and health care professionals, especially, need to step up to the plate and write these agents a long, long letter expressing your support of Hulda Clark. We simply can't continue to allow these government 'servants' to railroad innocent people who are dedicated to helping humanity. ..Ken Adachi]

Subject: FTC Is Trying To Shutdown Dr. Hulda Clark's Website

Dr. Clark: FTC Update #3 ACTION REQUIRED

For information on Dr. Hulda Clark go to www.drclark.net

------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Guest of www.drclark.net!
by David P. Amrein

I had informed about our case against the Federal Trade Commission in spring. The case is coming to a head now and I really need your support now. I need you to write letters to the court and to the FTC to stop their insane action. Below find the addresses you should write to in order to make yourself heard. Last spring I got 1500 support letters. I think we should go for 5000 this time!

If you are a doctor or a naturopath, I need your expert testimony including your contact information, background, what your experience with the Clark protocol is and whether you have cases that could be documented if the need arose.

A quick overview of our FTC case

Our web site has been a resource for hundreds of thousands on the web. It is mainly an informational website, consisting of testimonials, Dr. Clark's recipes and some excerpts from her books about her basic discoveries. Many people whom I have received testimonials from would never have known about Dr. Clark if it had not been for the website.

To finance our activities, we also sell products, the proceeds of which are invested in research to support Dr. Clark's findings. We have done one research study in 2002 and three more will be done by the end of 2003.

In 2001 we got a letter form the FTC saying they believe we were making false claims about the products we sell. They proposed what is called a consent order. Many of the demands of that order were unacceptable. For example, the duration of that "agreement" was to be 20 years. In Europe agreements that last longer than 10 years are illegal because they borderline on slavery.

Also, the consent order required us to take down all the Clark information from our website, which I was not willing to do. Dr. Clark has done a tremendous amount of work for us and people must know about it.

Now, the FTC is trying to shut down our website through a court order. They have submitted a motion to the court in Ohio for a temporary restraining order until our trial takes place in February. We assume that once we are shut down, they will go on to attack other Clark websites, until none is left.

The FTC holds that:

When we have excerpts from Dr. Clark's books on our web site this is equal to making product claims; That our disclaimers are not prominent and unambiguous; That Dr. Clark's findings are at best a delusion and at worst a fraud. We do not agree.

We believe in an informed choice. An informed choice can also be made about approaches that have not yet been clinically evaluated, as long as the consumer has all the available information at hand. Dr. Clark's statements are clearly marked as such. The disclaimers which are ubiquitous on our web site, explain exactly what this information is and how it has been substantiated or not. There is no ambiguity any place. Many hundred therapists and practitioners use the Clark approach in their practice. And while I will agree that some of what she says sounds way out there, those professionals report success with their patients and that is all that counts. Also we receive testimonials daily, so I know how powerful this approach can be. We do not claim that any of this is scientific by the standards of the Federal Trade Commission. And when I look at the lack of success of orthodox medicine with chronic conditions, that is maybe a good thing. To study all that Dr. Clark has researched to the FTC's standards will take decades and millions of dollars. In the meantime, we think
the people should still be able to find about her pioneering work. But then again, eventually the consumer must decide whether they find our web site misleading. So I did two things: I inquired with my e-zine readers whether they had the impression that our web site was misleading. In response, I got 1456 favorable responses, many of them testimonials from cured people; 9 negative ones and 14 neutral ones. This is a very important group to ask because these are the actual readers of my website. I sent a refund request to all 6700 US customers. In response we got 200 support letters, but only two refund requests. This is a very important group to ask, because they are the actual customers, and are the ones the FTC is supposedly trying to protect. But if the customers find that they have been adequately informed and appreciate the fact that Dr. Clark's information is available online, then WHO IS THE FTC PROTECTING???? And, are the FTC experts smarter than you so they should be filtering what you can read?? I would like you to make up your own mind and let the FTC know what you think. All contact info is below.

The attorney on the case is Michael Milgrom. You can find his contact info below. The regional office of the FTC where he works is East Central Region,
the Director of which is called John M. Mendenhall. Please also send a letter to the main FTC office in Washington, DC. The Chairman of the FTC is Timothy J. Muris. Send a copy of your letter to the District Court of Ohio where our case is pending. We do not know which judge has been assigned to our case. The chief judge is Hon. Paul R. Matia. Finally, send a copy of the letter to us for the file. Please write the letters now, and to all of the above and get all your friends who are in favor of freedom of choice to write letters also. This issue is very time sensitive. Anyone who has an opinion on this, have them write a letter! Pass the e-mail on, tell others about it. It is more crucial now than ever.

Note that there are two issues that you should differentiate in your letter:

The first is whether the information on our web site is misleading. This will be the main interest of the court, much more so than whether the protocol actually works. The second issue is your personal experience with the protocol and our products, and whether you have found it to work. Testimonials are not recognized as proof, but thousands of testimonials always make a difference. Write letters to all of the below. Include your full contact information. Include whether you are a customer.
