FDC Sends Warning Letter to NY Podiatrist for Bogus COVID-19 Treatment
Because the practice license of podiatry does not usually include systemic treatment of COVID-19, it would seem improper for podiatrists to advertise their ability to treat it systemically. I follow a lot of information and data on line about Covid-19. If I were in practice, I would not attempt to treat it systemically because that would not be included in my licensure. But I am still "interested" in not contracting it because of my old age. A referral to another website for that treatment by a licensed practitioner whose license includes systemic treatment for COVID-19 would seem to be a Constitutionally protected part of "free speech."
The FDA has a very poor history of monitoring their studies. Recently, both Lancet and JAMA had to retract a bogus, fraudulent study on hydroxychloroquine. And there have been some studies utilizing this drug that had virtually lethal doses administered. Any drug given in lethal doses has a strong likelihood of resulting in death.
We all know that there has been a politicization of HCQ. Whether you believe it works or not is not relevant to the issue of politicization. My letter today is not intended to either refute or back HCQ. But there are some highly reputable university affiliated physicians who do not approve of FDA or lockdowns. Some have been threatened with job loss if they continue to "criticize" FDA or the impending vaccines. I personally am NOT an anti-vaxxer. But there is considerable evidence on alternative methods to (now) prophylax against COVID-19. Those treatments are study backed and espoused by highly trained medical experts.
Vaccine manufacturers fear this drug, which has been around for over 20 years and is even in the podiatry armamentarium. I understand and respect PM News’ fear of getting involved in any political discussions. Rather, my intention by this letter is to simply state that some forms of criticism against entrenched pharmaceutical interests is and remains free speech and are protected, even if it contravenes those entrenched interests. Many of us old folks remember when state and professional associations did not allow us to advertise. This was eventually overturned by SCOTUS, as it should have been.
