WARNING LETTER
Dear Mr. Two
Feathers:
This letter concerns Two Feathers Healing Formula, aka Compound
X (hereafter Healing Formula), marketed by your firm on the
Internet website www.healingformula.net. According to
information on this website, you sell Healing Formula as a
treatment and cure for cancer, tumors, venereal diseases, and
internal malignancies. Healing Formula can be used topically and
also can be ingested, used as an enema, or used as a douche.
Ordering instructions, including the price of the drug and
shipping information, are provided on the website. Consumers may
place an order by calling a toll-free telephone number, or by
placing an email order to Robert@healingfonnula .net.
The intended uses of
the Healing Formula are conveyed on your Internet site. These
include statements such as:
-
"one eighth of a
teaspoon . . . swallowed . . . for internal malignancies of
the liver, kidneys, colon, prostrate (sic), female sex
organs, breasts.....venereal diseases . . . ."
-
"When working
with any malignancy with a history of more than six months
in the body, a problem located in the lower abdominal region
or close to the reproductive organs, the salve is used as a
douche or an enema
-
"Testimonials .
. . I have taken off two Basal Cell Carcinomas on my face. .
. . I had others taken out by surgery many years ago, but
were still active, I believe, because the roots were still
there. Your formula is drawing all skin cancers, new and
old, roots and all . . . ." .
-
"skin cancer I
had on my eye lid . . . The eyelid cancer is gone . . . ."
-
"my husband was
diagnosed with cancer throughout his body . . . now cancer
free . . . ."
Based on the claims
cited above, Healing Formula is a "drug" as defined by 21 U.S.C.
321(g). Moreover, Healing Formula is a "new drug" as defined by
21 U.S.C. 321(p) because there is no evidence that it is
generally recognized as safe and effective for these claimed
uses. Under 21 U.S.C. 355(a), a "new drug" may not be introduced
or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce unless
an. FDA-approved new drug application (NDA) is in effect for it.
The continued distribution of this product without an approved
NDA violates 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355.
In addition, Healing
Formula is misbranded under 21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1) because its
labeling fails to bear adequate directions for the uses for
which it is being offered and it is not exempt from this
requirement under 21 CFR section 201.115.
The violations
described above are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of
your firm's deficiencies. It is your responsibility to ensure
that all drug products manufactured and distributed by your firm
are in compliance with federal laws and regulations. Federal
agencies-are advised of the issuance of all warning letters
about drugs and devices so that they may take this information
into account when considering the award of contracts.
You must promptly
correct these deviations. Failure to do so may result in
regulatory action without further notice. Possible actions
include seizure, injunction, and/or prosecution.
Please reply in
writing within fifteen days of your receipt of this letter
regarding the steps that you have taken to correct the above
violations and to prevent their recurrence. If corrective action
cannot be completed within 15 days, state the reason for the
delay and the time within which the corrections will be made.
Further, if your
firm does not manufacture the product, your reply should also
include the name and address of the manufacturer. If the firm
from which you receive the product is not the manufacturer,
please include the name of your supplier in additlon to the
manufacturing firm.
Your response should
be directed to Paul A. Peterson, Compliance Officer, Food and
Drug Administration, San Francisco District, 1431 Harbor Bay
Parkway, CA 94502, phone (510) 337-6856.
Sincerely yours,
