Note the difference between the FDA and the FTC.
They do work together often, but aren't the same things with the same
agenda.
FTC is trade fraud.
FDA is medical and food which can include trade fraud.

So long as they confine themselves to outright scam organisations and
quacks like the seasilver people it doesn't bother me at all. That is
the FDA doing their proper job for once. And we who want to preserve
our access to legitimate and effective alternative products and
practitioners ought to be glad to see the quacks shut down.
Part of the problem of how the FDA sees alternative health and
alternative products is the penchant of the alternative "community"
to rise up in vehement, vociferous defense of scammers and quacks. In
the long run it does us all no good to knee-jerk defend the snake oil
salesmen. It just makes everything alternative even more suspect to
the PTB.
We need to be careful whom we support, so that when the FDA attacks
the solid alternatives we have a credibility leg to stand on, as I
don't have any confidence the FDA can tell a scam from a hole in the
ground except by accident.

The decision, issued on April 10, 2008, affirmed a district court
order requiring Jason and Bela Berkes, Seasilver, USA, Inc., and
Americaloe, Inc., to pay almost $120 million under an agreement with
the Federal Trade Commission. The March 2004 order barred them from
making false or misleading claims and included a $120 million
judgment that would be suspended if they paid $3 million within a
specified time. The defendants did not meet the required payment
terms, and in June 2006 a district court granted the Commission's
request to enforce the stipulated judgment. The defendants appealed
the decision.
