Haven't heard from our mate Tim Bolen for a while, so an
update on the Kadile case that refers to the true facts,
now that it is concluded and participants can sp[eak
more freely.
Neither the NACHF, nor Dr Barrett nor any healthfraud agency
was responsible for bringing the case against him. The FDA
and some insurance agencies brought the local medical
board's attention to the fate of certain of Kadile's
patients who had undergone chelation.
Court documents show that of five patients who underwent
chelation two subsequently had heart attacks, one of whom
died, and another had a stroke. This is what initially
brought him to the attention of these parties. These facts
were never disputed in court. Neither was the fact that he
was advertising the treatment with many false claims.
His case was lost. He is to undergo assessment of his
competency to practice and retraining if necessary. He is to
pay costs.
An interesting outcome is that Kadile can still do chelation
therapy as an off-label usage of chelation agents that
happen to be approved by the FDA for other purposes. So much
for the supposed suppression of the method.
If you are a true-blue alternative believer you can thus
still go and see Dr Kadile for your chelation. You will
merely have to sign a consent form stating that you have
been given certain advice regarding it (that you are quite
free to disbelieve). So much for the supposed suppression of
this common quack practice.
