Re: American gov persecution
I visited the website you suggested and copied a small section of the drawn up Complaint here (for those who can't take the time). After I read the website, it appears the FTC engaged in circular logic. The FDA won't allow their type of scientific testing to prove that particular herbal supplement and/or Rife machine works. And, consequently, the FTC can not find any published results of anything positive. Since they can not find anything positive written about alternatives, then there isn't any point to promote studies/tests on alternatives. By this circular logic, alternatives will never be found to have any merit. By this circular logic Mr. Forrest's alternatives, other studies and results on alternatives, are kept out of the public eye. Where are the studies showing that following the methods of Mr. Forrest would not work??
The people who are complaining it didn't work for them should be on T.V. as well as those for whom it worked--telling how they used it. Are there people who say "it didn't work for them?" There are plenty of people who complained chemotherapy didn't work for them or caused the death of a weak relative. But you don't see oncologists or pharmaceutical corporations being sued by the FTC because of these complaints. Why?
Studies showing Mr. Forrets's methods would not work must be published in their ENTIRETY in the common media that reaches everyone and not only in the scientific journals. Most people do not read scientific journals and are therefore given just an evaluation and summary of the alledged finding of fact. In a scientific journal every sentence of a study is critically evaluated as well as the DESIGN and METHOD by which the information or results were obtained. Scientists have their own prejudices and pressures that would motivate them to slant an evaluation toward unfavorable when it was not unfavorable. And then by leaving out the favorable implications, pass on the negative slant to the journalist doing the interview. This is the reality. Except for those people who believe that scientists are perfect people.
And let's not forget the recent cloud burst over the New York Times a few days ago. A journalist there outright plagiarized others' articles which he combined with stuff he made up before
sprinkling some real facts into this aforementioned mix and printing it in news articles as the whole truth. When you have scientists who omit certain facts in order to slant the results their way, and these same scientists are interviewed by journalists, such as the one at the N.Y. Times, who further slant the already slanted results, the public does not have an honest information base for responsible decisions.
Neither does the FTC who is probably basing their enforcement decision on a hodgepodge of laws rather than good reasoning. Yet people continue to depend on the FTC and the FDA and the newspapers to do their scientific thinking for them. More and more you have to read sources that agree as well as disagree with your opinion to get the truth.
The person who was hurt by using Mr. Forrest's methods ought to be the one to sue Mr. Forrest.
It may interest you to know that the billions and billions spent each year on p 0 r n o g r a p h y outstrips even that spent by all those who viewed the movies produced that same year. And that includes all Hollywood blockbusters for that same year. p 0 r n o g r a p h y is defined as having no redeeming social value what-so-ever by the U.S. Supreme Court. Yet someone like Mr. Forrest, who is alledged to have made a misstep in the course of helping someone, who came to him for aid, is on his way to being out of business thanks to the care and concern of the FTC that he might have hurt someone or may hurt someone in the future. I doubt that he made billions. When someone gives new information to health questions I have, for me that has social value.
When you read the posted Complaint at the website, you have to wonder, what has been left out? And is allegedly exculpatory evidence going to be allowed in testimony or is the justice process going to break down there too?

How do you know this isn't just a well hyped scam? Because this bio-technology is based on reproducable laboratory research findings which prove the consistent negative effects that electric current has on microbes. It's science. Period. Also, this author and thousands others have gotten well from viral and bacterial diseases by using these devices. And there is a major medical device patent issued for the use of this blood electrification technology.

"I would like to inform you the Rife machine is a Miracle Machine to us, especially to my wife. She has been paralyzed, half of her body, right side, due to stroke, since April 1991. After just a couple of uses, she can walk and put her weight to the right side of her body, the paralyzed side. She can walk now, not yet like the original way before she had the stroke, but she does not use her wheelchair."
