I've asked many times what happened to the Figueroas ... it seems to me that they too, were victims of the Quacks and their misguided hatred of Dr. Clark ... How did they benefit in any way with having Mallicious Prosecutor Grell sue Dr. Clark ...??? She was a very ill woman, I understand ... and being used in this court case probably harmed her even more.

Here are the claims the FTC objected to, and required withdrawn (not vindicated).. Quote--- The FTC alleges that the defendants made numerous unsubstantiated claims about the Zapper, the Syncrometer, the 21 Day Program for Advanced Cancers, and the Herbal Parasite Cleanse, including through the use of testimonials. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants made unsubstantiated representations that: a.. use of the Super-Zapper Deluxe is effective to kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites in the human body, and is effective against chronic infections, cancer, and AIDS; b.. the Super-Zapper Deluxe, used together with the Complete Herbal Parasite Program, is effective to cure all forms of cancer in humans and to cure AIDS; c.. the Supper-Zapper Deluxe, used together with the Complete Herbal Parasite Program and avoidance of pollutants, is effective to cure diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, endometriosis, asthma, and many other diseases; d.. Dr. Clark's New 21 Day Program for Advanced Cancers is effective to cure all forms of cancer in humans; has cured numerous people diagnosed with advanced cancer; and when used with the Super-Zapper Deluxe, make surgery and chemotherapy unnecessary; and e.. the Syncrometer device is more accurate than the best testing methods at diagnosing all forms of disease; and can detect the presence of any substance at specific points in the human body. The FTC charges that the defendants did not have a reasonable basis to substantiate the claims made in their adverti{*filter*}ts. Peter Moran

Indeed. If it is true that Hulda Clark is "very ill," one wonders how great her "cure for all diseases" really is. It can't be that great. Otherwise, why can't she (or one of her acolytes) "cure" herself? -- Orac |"I am not interested in trying to compensate | for your amazing lack of observation." | | Orac

You misunderstand. Mrs. Figueroa was a very ill woman who apparently tried Hulda Cure for All Diseases and was snot successful. Here is the true story: The civil case was filed by Esther and Jose Figueroa of New York City against Clark, the Dr. Clark Research Association, Century Nutrition, and several associated individuals. Mrs. Figueroa, who had been medically diagnosed with {*filter*} cancer, sought treatment in September 1998. The court papers state that she was told: Dust from her apartment was responsible for her {*filter*} cancer. Returning to her apartment would place her at special risk to develop leukemia because of her {*filter*} type. She had asbestos, lead, and a lot of copper in her system. The Syncrometer detected a parasite called "rabbit fluke" inside her {*filter*}. She also had E. coli, asbestos, and salmonella due to improper cooking.net">food sterilization. Several teeth should be removed and "cavitations" in her lower jaw should be scraped out. The suit also charged that: Clark subsequently arranged for all of Mrs. Figueroa's front and molar teeth to be removed, prescribed more than 30 dietary and herbal supplements to be taken during a 12-week period, and badly burned her {*filter*} while administering treatment with a "Zapper" device. During the 3-month period of treatment, the tumor increased from 1.5 cm to 14 cm. Despite this fact, Mrs. Figueroa was falsely told that she was getting better, that tests for "cancer markers" were negative, and that pain she was experiencing did not reflect persistence of her cancer. In 2001, the Figueroa family indicated to their attorney (Christopher Grell) that undergoing a deposition would be too stressful for Mrs. Figueroa. Mr. Grell therefore petitioned the court to withdraw from the case, and the case ended shortly afterward. One of the defendants (Self Health Resource Center, operated by Clark's son Geoffrey) then sued Grell and two associates for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. Grell responded with a motion to dismiss, which was granted and upheld on appeal, with an award of costs and attorneys fees to Grell. The Court of Appeal concluded: The evidence amply supports a reasonable belief on the part of these defendants [Grell and associates] that plaintiff [the Self Health Resource Center] was part of a network of persons and entities who acted recklessly, at best, luring Mrs. Figueroa into a bizarre, grotesque, and extremely expensive regimen of "alternative" cancer treatments which has no effect other than to exhaust the Figueroa's life savings and divert Mrs. Figueroa from conventional treatments, thereby reducing her prospects for recovery and survival [15]. 15. Sepulveda J. Decision of the Court of Appeal of the State of California, First Appellate District, Division Four, in Self Health Resource Center v Christopher Grell et al. A098285 (Alameda County Superior Court No. 2001-030441). Filed May 19, 2003. Anyone who claims that this account is inaccurate should be prepared to post the original decision.

Well, I mention the know-nothing crowd and you chirp up. I was expecting that. What part of : In 2001, the Figueroa family indicated to their attorney (Christopher Grell) that undergoing a deposition would be too stressful for Mrs. Figueroa. Support YOUR allegation and provide a verifiable reference. (I know you won't, as you never do, as you are an intellectually bankrupt intellectual coward.)

Who wrote this? It is not the entire story. Was there a link to this version of Grell's reality? Seems they lured Mrs Figeroa into a bizarre litigation ...
