A Chiropractor out of Houston who had a 70% cure rate for cancer patients was shut down by the FDA.

Why would the FDA shut them him and others like him down?
Libertarians, it goes beyond incompetence. they are good at keeping what they want down. Facts don’t lie.
Why would the FDA shutdown competition to the medical establishment in general and the drug industry in particular?
To maintain the market share of the drug companies and expand the authority of the FDA over peoples lives. Bureaucracies always seek to exert more control over those they regulate. These alternative medicine providers are a huge threat to their power and to the profits of the drug companies and hospitals that exist under the FDA. So to gain power the FDA must limit the competition that those it regulates experience. Otherwise the FDA will become completely powerless in the face of competition.
Did he self-proclaim 70% cure rate or is it verified by multiple, reputable third parties?
I can’t listen to the mp3 so I’m not sure how this chiropractor was “curing” cancer but if you believe that creating and popping gas bubbles in your synovial/cartilaginous joints (i.e. “cracking” your joints) has any long term positive affect on your health I have a bridge to sell you.
The FDA though–I’m their biggest fan. They in no way inhibit my job and in many ways provide assistance in helping people
“Did he self-proclaim 70% cure rate or is it verified by multiple, reputable third parties?”
It was verified.
“I can’t listen to the mp3”
And that explains why you have no idea on what he was doing, but certainly doesn’t stop you from making a judgement on him.
Can you imagine why the FDA would shut him down and not shut other chiropractors down?
I would love to see this so-called verification. It would be the top article in every medical journal across the world.
The guy didn’t have a 70% cancer cure rate. Who would believe that?
"And that explains why you have no idea on what he was doing, but certainly doesn’t stop you from making a judgement on him.

I judge people all the time without complete knowledge, in this case the word “chiropractor” was enough for me to form an opinion. Likewise, from your tone it appears you made a judgment of me as well.
I searched briefly and found something regarding aloe vera but not precisely what he was doing with it.
But to answer your question: no. I don’t believe he should be shut down any more than any other doctor. The one reason I can imagine why he would get singled out is the FDAs vigilance on claims and labeling–e.g. if he was claiming he could cure cancer without published proof and a investigational clinical trial (i.e. not simply off-label use with good results).
Were his patients only treated by him? Didn’t they have the conventional cancer treatment while also having chiropratice sessions?
“The one reason I can imagine why he would get singled out is the FDAs vigilance on claims and labeling–e.g. if he was claiming he could cure cancer without published proof and a investigational clinical trial”
Then, the FDA did a good thing. And they have already won.
“Then, the FDA did a good thing. And they have already won.”
Unless I’m misinterpreting you it seems you take my comments for the wrong intention. I’m only commenting in the context of how the FDA “works” since I have fairly intimate knowledge of the sort (working in the medical industry). By no means am I endorsing their action since they do so out of reaction or ignorance most of the time, and in broad swathes more often than not.
But yes, “they” won; “we” lost. I’m fighting with them presently over something completely outside of my control over something so innocuous it doesn’t bear mention. The FDA is a devil’s advocate with the understanding of a 3 year old and the power of a militia; it’s fairly ridiculous.

Health Ranger Show #72: Interview with Ed Group from GHChealth.com - Cancer Myths and Cancer Cures
In this exclusive interview between Mike Adams and Edward Group (www.GHChealth.com), Ed discusses his fascinating background (his father invented plastic food wrap) and how he learned the truth about the cancer industry and natural cancer cures. "
he was in medical school, becoming a heart surgeon, he was also into chemstry, because of his dad’s occupation. his dad and mom both died from cancer.
"he went to hear a guy on alternative medicine talk…and he challeneged him…if pharacuticals are so good, prove to me that any pharacutial would do anything good to the body. so he said…no problem…he had a biochemsitry background as well…so he went to the library and looked at the chemical structures of pharc. and realized that none of these compounds address the root cause and not going to heal disease. its either going to shuit down a system, alter a system, but not going to address…
that was his turning point.
he studied under all the cancer doctors from mexico. pieced everything together…took about 2 years.
he opened his first cancer clinic in houston in 1998.
each individual patient is different…each needs to be evalueted accordin to age, diet, each might need a different protocol…
we were having 60%-70% success rates.
i don’t feel like transcribing the rest…
you have to understand how alternative medicine looks at cancer. they are more of the view of If you’re waiting for some miracle plant that will cure you of cancer, or some extract from some jellyfish or other animal, you’ll be waiting forever.
Most of us eat plenty of non-foods, and expose ourselves to toxins. Sweeteners and oils that are not real sugars and fats, but were created in a lab somewhere using chemicals and solvents. There are many other non-foods we eat.
You could take some “miracle” to cure your cancer, but as long as you continue to eat non-foods, you aren’t addressing the source of the problem.
We’re meant to eat food. Plants and animals (optional for some).
Stop eating the non-foods and eat food. Good food. God forbid, superfood. Food like bee pollen, acai, camu, goji, cocao, algae (chlorella and spirulina), juices from super foods like barley grass, blueberries, royal jelly. God forbid, you juice greens occasionally to alkalize and detox your body and drink it.
beyond that…there are protocols that have cured plenty of people of cancer…including stage 4 cancer, where oncologists would tell them they have a few months to live. certain types of foods and plants, nutrients that have worked better for certain types of cancer.
believe it or not…many poeple would rather be treated and cured by these methods instead of having cancer and THEN BEING poisoned by chemotherapy (which was developed as a derivitive from mustard gas). their body is then destroyed even further. sure, alot of the cancer cells may die, but the root problem is not addressed. And the patient often times dies from the poison.
If they do survive the poison, their bodies are in bad shape. teeth fall out, hair falls out, bones and muslces lose density, hips sometimes need to be replaced. its really sad. we will look back at the government enforced cancer treatments as the dark ages.
They did the same thing with a medical doctor with an even higher cure rate…
My dad being a chiropractor, I can tell you that is about as likely as pigs flying. Chiropractic is an applied discipline. They don’t do biotech research. Same goes for M.D.'s. There may be some folk remedy or something floating around. But a cure is not going to be invented by an applied discipline.
Are you talking about the title of this thread or are you making an accusation about the film above your post?
The thread topic.

Did you read through my posts or listen to the interview?
Yeah, it’s ye olde give people hope and then direct them to an e-commerce website.
