As the attorney for Jim Clark and Carrie Hatcher in this matter, I can tell you that neither of them did anything wrong – except for one thing: They actually believed that you could tell the truth and sell products in this country.

I see this a lot in my practice. Perfectly honest and decent individuals – such as Jim and Carrie – think that as long as they tell the truth and honor their contractual arrangements with customers, then they can make whatever honest claims they may. That is unfortunately not the case in “The Land of the Free.”

Here, if you violate in any way the medical monopoly stranglehold on the American medical community that doctors, the drug industry, and their enforcement arm (the FDA/FTC) have, then look out ! They WILL come after you.

That was the unfortunate fate of these two very honest individuals. They sold products that competed with the Pharmaceutical Industry. God forbid that you sell natural remedies. They did not have a single complaint.
