List,

I urge you to read the following correspondence and to pass on the message to any and all concerned. My own experience with the company concerned leads me to believe that these are reputable, caring, and courageous providers of CAM products for cancer sufferers.

You may draw your own conclusions; I find the alleged threats about not answering questions ominous, and pertinent to those of us on this list who discuss anecdotal cancer therapies. The facts expressed in this message make clear that even on a private list group it may be good to exercise caution or be prepared to fight the suppression of alternatives.

The altcancer.com web site still operates last I checked, perhaps because it is set up in the Bahamas. I am not sure. Given that the people in this company evidently know well about suppression of medical alternatives, I must say that I am surprised they used a US-based fulfillment center, and that they were present in the USA to be arrested.

James Carr, their chief herbalist, has been a correspondent for several years, and I am shocked that this man is in jail.

Spread the word.

Jayde,

A problem: your site shows nothing about the lack of products, probably leading customers to place orders for products you can not send. I find NOTHING on your site about the FDA action!
 
Jonathan - this is because this just happened to us...our herbalist is in jail as well as the person who designs and updates our web site.  We are currently trying to find someone to come in and help us up date the web page. 

This is a big communication failure. I found out only because a friend was unable to fill an order for his sick wife. Had he not informed me, I would not have known.
 
WE ARE TRYING AS HARD AS WE CAN TO TELL EVERYONE....THE FDA HAS TAKEN ALL OF OUR FILES AND COMPUTERS! They have taken almost all of our products.

You should contact everyone who has ever ordered from you if you want the customer support you deserve to have. Let us know how things are proceeding and what we can do.
 
We are doing just this!  Everyone who orders is getting an emailed letter and/or a phone call.  We have no files or products...we've had to buy a new computer just to get word out to the customers.  There are only 2 of us here now instead of 15...we are working as fast as we can to get the word out to everyone...we also have NO FUNDS...we are practically pennyless...it is hard to keep a company going with no money when you have the Federal Government to fight and the owners/herbalist/web designers all in jail.

Keep on fighting the good fight. Many of us are behind you unequivocally. You say you can not answer questions: If there is some kind of court gag order, we need to know that, as it would be an unconstitutional suppression of free speech deserving of condemnation and widespread dissemination via the Internet by your supporters.
 
We will be up dating the web site as soon as possible...in regards to the questions...the FDA agents told us that if we answered any questions, we were conducting criminal activity and would be arrested.

At9:10 a.m.onWednesday, September 17th, 2003the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) suspended most activities at our fulfillment center inLouisiana. They have deemed the above products questionable in theUnited States of America. They believe that our products are not safe for human consumption. The FDA is currently testing the products they have taken from our facility. They have accused us of making health claims for our products, such as claiming they could cure, prevent or treat a disease even though we have a disclaimer on almost every page and each product label stating: “To U.S. Users Only: The statements made on this page have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. The viewing of this page in your country is for historic and educational purposes only. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

If you are satisfied with our products and their usefulness in helping to maintain your health and well being, please forward a signed testimonial [email protected]. we would appreciate if you would contact your local congressman to help in the amendment of the current laws which prevent you from obtaining the alternative health products that Alpha Omega and other companies offer. It appears that Alpha will have a long legal battle ahead of us to fight for the right to sell our products at all. We have a legal fund set up to assist in this battle. If you would like to donate to help in the fight for your freedom to choose, please send funds to the Caton Legal Fund.
