The FBI is conducting a raid at Allure Medical in Shelby Township...The FBI confirms the raid is in connection to a questionable treatment for coronavirus that was being offered at the center...

Allure has recently promoted that it is treating COVID-19 patients who aren't hospitalized using intravenous vitamin C therapy "with great results."

In a press release sent out to news stations last week, Allure said that Dr. Charles Mok, the founder of Allure Medical, is providing the high-dose intravenous vitamin C therapy to all essential workers in Michigan

So what do you think? Does treating patients with Vitamin C warrant an FBI raid? Seems beyond ridiculous to me.

At a certain point you can have too much vitamin C... at another point deceptive practices become predatory... the feds usually frown on that sort of thing.

But is there any evidence that anybody's been getting sick from too much Vitamin C at this medical facility? The feds sure seem to have a thing for cracking down on treatments (for whatever disease) that can't be patented (and thus can't make money for the pharmaceutical industry).

And for people who essentially rob others... I wonder what this guy was charging?

If the facility was misrepresenting health benefits and putting the health & welfare of its clients at serious risk, then an FBI raid is certainly appropriate.

I'm not certain that's what occurred in this case, but *if* that indeed was occurring, then a raid is appropriate.

Meanwhile, we have a local clinic actually running ads on local TV basically saying "if you have covid symptoms, come to us and we'll prescribe hydroxychloroquine" as if it was some over-the-counter type medicine, yet the NIH and CDC have issued warnings about using it without all the proper oversight.

Hydroxychloroquine has shown a lot of promise, but it is detrimental to a portion of the population.
