Who Is The Real Snake Oil Salesman?
(part 5)

Once again, a blatant falsehood by the self-styled champion of the consumer.  T-Up, Inc.’s products were never offered as cures for cancer and AIDS. In fact, the concept of a cure for cancer is somewhat ludicrous – how do you cure something when you don’t know its’ cause?  How do you prevent it from re-occurring?  As for AIDS, everyone knows it goes into hiding – it is never cured by any presently known techniques.

Further if, as Mr. Curran asserts in the paragraph cited above – if T-Up, Inc. was owned and operated by “Dr.” Allen Hoffman on what basis was the undersigned – the financier – and only the financier, of T-Up, Inc. – made a party to the Attorney General’s action against Hoffman?  What doctrine of American Jurisprudence allows a stockholder of Microsoft to be sued for the actions of its officers?  What ever happened to due process in America, and, in particular, Maryland?

In the first paragraph of page 3, the Attorney General says:

“According to T-Up, Inc. its T-Up aloe vera product could be used to boost the human immune system and fight cancer and all diseases associated with either a weakened or malfunctioning immune system. The company further claimed that its cesium chloride product could attack and kill cancerous cells by altering the body’s pH on a cellular level.”

These claims are absolutely true – and were in fact never contested by the Attorney General. Indeed, in arguing before the administrative hearing concerning T-Up, Inc., Mr. Curran’s prosecutor, Philip Ziperman said:

“…we are not asking experts … to … give any opinion testimony … whether or not the product worked … They’re giving an opinion that the literature doesn’t support their claims.”

This is a truly remarkable admission. The prosecutor is saying in effect he doesn’t care whether there is any evidence that these products work! He is only concerned with the literature. What he doesn’t say, however, is that as soon as his questions were raised concerning the literature, it was voluntarily withdrawn from distribution. But this is only the least of the Attorney General’s misleading and false statements.

In the second paragraph on page 3, Mr. Curran says:

“The T-Up aloe product was typically sold in two ounce bottles for oral consumption. Each bottle of T-Up also was sold for $75 and was supposed to last one week. Each bottle of cesium was also sold for $75 and would also last about one week if the optimal dosage was used. Accordingly the typical consumer using T-Up, Inc.’s products would spend $150 a week to treat their illness or disease. The length of treatment could last years depending on the nature, course and severity of the disease or illness that was being treated. Consumers were also encouraged by T-Up’s advertisements to continue using their products after their diseases were cured in order to prevent them from recurring.”

Again, Mr. Curran is being disingenuous.  The Attorney General knows very well that the $75 bottles of Aloe and Cesium last two weeks, not one as he alleges – so it costs $150 for two weeks of treatment.  At this time clarification is in order since the Attorney General obviously has no idea as to what he’s talking about.  Aloe, when concentrated sufficiently, can be used to treat a very wide variety of immune disorders – a fact never challenged by the Attorney General!  Cesium, on the other hand, is used only for cancer and only for a limited time – typically 12 to 16 weeks (a total cost of $450 to $600!!).  Once the cancer has hopefully been eliminated the Cesium is discontinued.  Always remember – eliminating the cancer – as conventional medicine knows only too well – is often a temporary respite – it is no assurance that it will not return – often in a relatively short time frame.
