THE future of a website created to expose dubious claims about over-the-counter drugs is uncertain after it was taken to court by a company whose products it wanted scrutinised. The AusPharm Consumer Health Watch website, set up earlier this year, faces thousands of dollars in costs as it battles theaction by Schwabe Pharma and distributor Natural Health Products. The companies got a temporary injunction to prevent publication of a report on their herbal product Tebonin, an extract of the herb gingko biloba. The drug was promoted as an "effective treatment for a range of conditions ... including tinnitus, vertigo, peripheral circulation and cognitive function". The companies are applying for the injunction to be made permanent. It is understood that the three remaining people behind the AusPharm site have spent $15,000 of their own money fighting the case and are now willing to accept a permanent injunction in exchange for the matter being dropped.
(NewsTarget) The natural health community is outraged at 16-year-old Abraham Cherrix being forced into chemotherapy treatment by a Judge's decision. Cherrix, a native of Chincoteague, Va., was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease last summer and began chemotherapy soon after. Cherrix felt the treatment was poisoning him rather than saving him, and refused further treatments. He then made the choice, along with his parents Jay and Rose Cherrix, to pursue alternative therapies such as eliminating sugar from his diet and eating organic foods, all under the guidance of a doctor in Mexico. Cherrix's decision was reported to the Accomack County Department of Social Services, and a judge ordered Cherrix to undergo conventional treatments or be put in juvenile detention. Additionally, his parents Jay and Rose were found to be neglectful in their decision to allow Cherrix to make his own health decisions, and now have to share custody of their son with social services.
