FBI Raids Detroit-Area Medical Facility 'For Using Intravenous Vitamin C to Treat COVID-19 Patients
InformationLiberation ^ | Apr. 24, 2020 | Chris Menahan

From Click on Detroit, "Macomb County business raided by the FBI over possible improper COVID-19 treatments": FBI agents went into building wearing full protective gear to protect themselves from potential exposure. Sources claim the raid is because Allure has been allegedly performing treatments for COVID-19 patients without an approved treatment or cure.

On April 18, Allure’s Facebook page had a post that said "At Allure Medical, we have been using intravenous vitamin c therapy to treat COVID-19 in non-hospitalized patients with great results."

That post, as well as a post on Allure Medical's official website on vitamin c treatments, has been taken down.

After talking to staff members off-camera, some believe this is a misunderstanding. They claim the vitamin c is meant to help prevent or shorten the duration.

Dr. Charles Mok, who owns Allure Medical Spa, did a Facebook live video giving an IV-vitamin c treatment for free to a Detroit police officer. In the video, Mok said "What I'm finding in practice -- I treat a lot of COVID patients -- is that if we catch people early, get them on intravenous vitamin c, they turn around really fast."

While it may not be a "cure," vitamin C is being used widely as a treatment for coronavirus in hospitals throughout the world and has been shown to be effective in patients with sepsis and severe acute respiratory failure in past studies. Multiple clinical trials to study its effectiveness at treating the coronavirus are currently ongoing.

FOX 2 Detroit, which simply parroted the line fed to them by the FBI, claimed vitamin C is a "fake treatment" and quoted FBI spokesperson Mara Schneider saying the clinic was accused of providing "fraudulent treatments for COVID-19" and allegedly "did not observe proper protocols to protect patients and staff from the virus."

You can’t blame this one on the Governor or the Mayor, over the top they may be. This is the FBI, the enforcement arm of the Deep State. They need to be smashed into a thousand pieces, as President Kennedy wanted to do with the CIA.

We’ve been taking extra Vitamin C since this all started.

Don’t know if it makes any difference but it feels like we’re doing something, at least.

They are political police and have been since their inception.

Doesn’t the FBI scumbags have some buildings to destroy and people to murder in Waco? Why are they wasting their time on such trivial matters?

Unfortunately, I have found that most medical professionals I have asked recently (nurses 5, drs 2, did NOT know of this protocol.

As this is a Vitamin C/ Ascorbic Acid related post, it may be helpful, if possible, to repost the article from EVMC regarding the sepsis treatment protocol. Thank you.

lol

Because we are not free anymore...or at least not free enough.

There are articles by even The American Cancer Society regarding intravenous vitamin C as one part of a treatment for cancer.

This virus is killing more freedoms than it is people.

It must be a democrat virus.

I wonder why the FBI didn't raid Chris Cuomo's house where his wife was getting her IV drip of vitamin C mixed with a bunch of other stuff and using some guy's pulsed energy machine that supposedly cures COVID-19.

I wonder if it has anything with them being related to the governor of New York?

"Allure Medical Spa"

Some questions:

1. Is this guy a real medical doctor? The name of his place raises a red flag.

2. Is his offense using Vitamin-C, or practicing medicine without a license?

3. Is it against the law to prescribe a legal OTC product for a disease, even if it is unproven, but seems effective, and there is no known cure for the disease? Is a doctor committing a crime if he recommends any vitamin or supplement as a prophylactic or general tonic?

4. Who can lawfully administer an IV?

5. Why is the FBI involved in this? Who tipped them off? What federal law was violated?
