Bacon, doing business as Cleansing Time Pro, that Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets were effective to treat, prevent, or cure numerous forms of cancer and various viral infections. The order requires the respondent to have competent and reliable scientific evidence substantiating any claim that Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets, or any other covered product or service, is effective in the prevention, treatment, or cure of cancer, hepatitis, HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus, or Avian Bird Flu. The order requires that any future claim about the absolute or comparative benefits, performance, efficacy, safety or side effects of any covered product or service be truthful and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. The order also addresses the charge of deceptive endorsement by requiring that respondent disclose any material connection between an endorser and respondent, if such a connection exists. The order does not prohibit the respondent from making representations for any drug that are permitted by the Food and Drug Administration. The order requires the respondent to compile a list of all consumers who purchased Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets since July 1, 2005, and to mail a letter to each purchaser describing the scientific evidence related to these products. The respondent is prohibited from providing any identifying information about her purchasers to anyone other than the Commission, another law enforcement agency, or as required by law. Additional provisions require the respondent to keep copies of relevant advertisements and materials that substantiate claims made in the advertisements; to provide copies of the order to certain of her employees; to notify the Commission of her affiliation with any new healthrelated business or employment; and to file compliance reports with the Commission.
Participants For the Commission: Kenneth Abbe and Matthew D. Gold. VOLUME 146 Complaint For the Respondent: Marie C. Mirch, Mirch & Mirch. COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Holly A. Bacon, doing business as Cleansing Time Pro (“respondent”), has violated the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and it appearing to the Commission that this proceeding is in the public interest, alleges: 1. Respondent is the sole proprietor of Cleansing Time Pro, a Nevada company with its principal office or place of business at 9732 State Rt. 445, #114, Sparks, Nevada 89436. 2. Respondent has advertised, labeled, offered for sale, sold, and distributed herbal products to the public, including Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets. Respondent offers these products through her website, www.cleansingtimepro.com. Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets are “foods” and/or “drugs” within the meaning of Sections 12 and 15 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
3. According to respondent’s promotional materials, Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets contain “blood root, galangal & zinc chloride in a base of blended synergistic herbs (+ calcium in the tablets).” Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve is an ointment that respondent recommends for external use. Alternatively, respondent recommends that consumers take the product internally by purchasing Black Salve Tablets or by placing an amount of the Black Salve ointment into a gelatin capsule.
4. Respondent promotes her Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve Tablets and Gelatin Capsules as an internal treatment or cure for many kinds of cancer including stomach, colon, prostate, testicular, bladder, throat, thyroid, mouth, cervical, uterine, 603 HOLLY A. BACON Complaint ovarian, pancreatic, breast, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and bone cancers, as well as lymphoma. Respondent also promotes these products as an internal treatment for various viral infections, including hepatitis, HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus, and Avian Bird Flu. Respondent promotes her Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve as an external treatment for carcinoma, melanoma, and other skin cancers. Excluding shipping and handling fees, respondent charges $49.95 for a one-ounce jar of Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve, and $34.95 for a 15-day supply of Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve Tablets (60 tablets).
5. The acts and practices of respondent alleged in this complaint have been in or affecting commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. 6. Respondent has disseminated or caused to be disseminated advertisements for Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets, including but not necessarily limited to the attached Exhibits A and B.

I had lymphoma B cancer & used this herbal Black Salve internally & Black Salve Tablets instead of a doctors prescribed 68 radiation treatments with excellent results! I avoided all the unwanted long term side effects of radiation by using black salve. I have chosen to share my experience with others so that they may benefit from it as I have. My cancer is gone and as an added bonus I have a lot more energy. My oncologist told me near the middle of my black salve treatment I had ‘the blood of a child’ but he didn’t know why. I had serious reservations about having radiation because of all I’ve heard & seen from people who have had it. After all these years of humans being subjected to radiation and all the testing they’ve done with it, people are still dying from it! In my opinion, black salve is the safest and most effective alternative to radiation. Holly B.
I have been plagued for 20 years with malignant basil cell carsinoma. [sic] My face & forehead have seven scars from the doctor’s knife. Recently my daughter, who used black salve for her horse’s melanoma, gave VOLUME 146 Complaint me a little dab of black salve. I used it on what I was sure was another malignant cancer. I made 1 application & about 10 days [sic] the tumor came off in the bandaid. There was a hole about 1/8 of an inch deep. It has now filled in & I don’t believe there will be much of a scar, if any. I have the salve on another & hopefully the last, cancer & it’s working just like the first. To me this is a miracle salve. Bill P., TX. . . .
About Cleansing Time Pro Cleansing Time Pro was established to meet the concerns and problems faced by cancer, virus, heart & vascular diseased victims who are seeking treatment for their conditions.
We began on the frontiers and over 116 years later are on the cutting edge of protecting people from such deadly diseases as the Bird Flu, SARS and the West Nile Virus worldwide! It was only months ago we first heard of these and they spread quickly to the U.S. It is common knowledge there is little that can be done once infected, according to health professionals. Medical facilities have even tried to hide the number of people infected! This is because they are not knowledgeable about and did not use our herbal treatment that is effective against viruses but instead relied on traditional medical paths. They soon discovered they were faced with full blown epidemics and most recently of SARS and the West Nile Virus. Cleansing Time Pro is all about revealing the facts. With Cleansing Time Pro’s Black Salve Tablets, why not protect or treat yourself? It starts working within 5 seconds! . . .
607 HOLLY A. BACON Complaint While traditional medical paths have helped many they have also made many, many people sick. In contrast, Cleansing Time Pro is here to make people aware there is an alternative & there is something you can do right now even if you have no insurance! Our alternative treatment products have over 116 years of history behind them with many, many testimonials to prove their weight for treating & overcoming a long list of conditions unrelated & related to viruses & cancer in & on the human body as well as most pets & animals. Do you have heart or vascular problems? We have helped thousands with that too! We believe our products are key to treatment of cancer, viruses, heart & vascular disease and prevention can be attained here in the U.S. as well as abroad.

[Exhibit A, respondent’s website www.cleansingtime pro.com, as accessed on February 6, 2008] Print Advertising (respondent’s Black Salve & Tablet Information & Instruction Package) B. “DIRECTIONS FOR HUMAN USE:
. . .
Black Salve - Used Externally (Read carefully - starts working within 5 seconds) Black Salve has been used to draw out all kinds of foreign material from the body such as glass, wood, shrapnel as well as cancer tumors and abnormal cells and tissue.
. . .
VOLUME 146 Complaint The medical approach is successful in some peoples lives. However, some people who use Black Salve do not have medical operations, chemotherapy or radiation treatments with reported results. Some people have had all operations, chemotherapy and radiation either in whole or in part and have taken Black Salve with reported results. Some people with inoperable cancer/tumors have taken Black Salve with reported results. So it doesn’t matter where you are in your treatment, just that you are doing something, because time is of the essence. Most people like the fact that Black Salve, a natural holistic folk remedy, can be taken in the comfort of their own home without insurance.
. . .
IMPORTANT WARNING NOTES:
. . .
Black salve can cause swelling. Because of this, people with brain tumors should not take black salve. However, if treating a brain tumor(s) with black salve you may need a qualified surgeon to insert a small hole(s) in the scull [sic] to relieve pressure. Do not think this is odd in any way. Many brain tumors are inoperable. However, a small hole is far superior to the sort of treatment one would receive from the full blown standard medical procedures.
. . .
Known Uses For Cleansing timely Pro Black Salve & Tablets:
• Used in place of radiation therapy treatments & chemotherapy treatments • Used to attack all known forms of cancer in & on the human & animal bodies 609 HOLLY A. BACON Complaint • Used to eliminate fluid build up around tumors & shrink them • Used to normalize a-typical cells with the capability of becoming a cancer • Used internally to prevent & treat a variety of cancers, malignancies & tumors such as in the stomach, colon, prostate, testicles, bladder, throat, thyroid, mouth, cervix, uterus, ovaries, pancreas, breasts, lungs, liver, kidney, skin, lymph nodes, extremities, blood, brain & bone & terminal cancer • Used internally to prevent & treat all types of viruses & virus infections such as colds, flu, strep throat, mouth & gum diseases, yeast infections, all types of herpes & hepatitis viruses, shingles and even things such as prevention & treatment of HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus & Avian Bird Flu • Used externally to treat skin cancer, carcinoma, melanoma, warts, moles & as a drawing salve . . .
• Used to purify blood & induce oxygen into the system inhibiting carcinogen growth . . .
Ingredients & Formula:
Blood root, galangal & zinc chloride in a base of blended synergistic herbs (+ calcium in the tablets). Extensive research into herbal and plant life properties has indicated substantial disease prevention and healing qualities in each as well as having a multiplying effect when combined together. Cleansing Time Pro’s products have a natural chemical which enhances an enzyme known to neutralize carcinogens prior to their stimulating tumor growth. This works directly on the immune system VOLUME 146 Complaint and, quite naturally, acts as a preventative in that capacity. Reference: National Academy of Science. Several case histories have revealed that formulating the proper portions of various herbal, as well as mineral ingredients results in a wide variety of healing abilities. Improper portions of the ingredients will not result in a favorable outcome. Therefore, duplication of ‘Original Formula’ Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve should not & can not be achieved.
History of Black Salve:
In 1890 Tom McCreary was diagnosed as having incurable, cancerous tumors on his neck, by physicians. They refused to operate, not wanting to risk his jugular vein. Tom said he paid attention to a repeated dream that came to him about how to make a remedy to cure himself. He obtained the elements and herbs for the remedy from some gypsies traveling through Texas at the time. He mixed up a black salve and applied it to his tumors. In less than a month Tom was healed and went on to live another 70 years. Over his lifetime, he was a preacher, rancher, doctor, farmer and sheriff under Judge Parker. He lived with a strength that became legendary. Tom kept the formula for the black salve to himself except for sharing it with an old friend. After Tom’s long life, his son Howard and grandson Mickey, sought out the old friend who taught them how to make the black salve. Howard McCreary, attempting to make the black salve available to everyone, started a company in the ‘60’s. The company had some tests done in the early ‘70’s at the University of Colorado to discover more about it. The Veterinarian College at Fort Collins tested it on all viruses known at the time. They discovered that it 611 HOLLY A. BACON Complaint killed those known viruses on contact. They discovered that with one application, sarcoids on horses (similar to skin cancer) had an 80% cure. With two applications, they achieved 100% cure. For many years it had been used to cure cancer in cows, save herds of calves from early viral diseases and treat abnormal tissue growths in all kinds of pets. By word of mouth, ranchers, homesteaders and folks on the rodeo circuits used it on external cancers, tumors and growths on themselves. Some successfully treated gangrene and even leprosy, in situations far from towns and doctors. Tom’s son, Howard McCreary, was the first to use it internally. He had been diagnosed as having stomach cancer in the ‘60’s. After he checked himself in the hospital for surgery the night before, as they did in those days, he took the first dose in a capsule without telling his doctors. The next morning they postponed his surgery because he was running a fever which continued for several days. On the 5th day, Howard said he passed a large quantity of black, vile smelling feces - apparently the growth itself. When the doctors took x-rays, they discovered that the cancerous growth was gone. Howard went on to live another 25 years without recurring stomach cancer. . . .”

8. Through the means described in Paragraph 6, respondent has represented, expressly or by implication, that she possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representations set forth in Paragraph 7, at the time the representations were made.
9. In truth and in fact, respondent did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representations set forth in Paragraph 7, at the time the representations were made. Therefore, the representation set forth in Paragraph 8 was, and is, false or misleading.
613 HOLLY A. BACON Complaint Deceptive Representation Regarding Endorser of Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets 10. Through the means described in Paragraph 6, respondent has disseminated testimonials for Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets from consumers who purportedly were treated or cured of cancer in the ordinary course of using the product. Respondent has failed to disclose adequately that one of the endorsers had a material connection with Cleansing Time Pro. Specifically, at the time of providing her endorsement, one of the consumers was Holly A. Bacon, the sole owner of Cleansing Time Pro. This fact would materially affect the weight and credibility given by consumers to the endorsement and would be material to consumers in their purchase or use of the products. Therefore, the failure to adequately disclose this fact, in light of the representation made, was, and is, a deceptive practice. 11. The acts and practices of respondent as alleged in this complaint constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and the making of false advertisements, in or affecting commerce in violation of Sections 5(a) and 12 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
THEREFORE, the Federal Trade Commission this twentysecond day of October, 2008, has issued this complaint against respondent.
By the Commission.

If you are undergoing ct (cat) scans and the thick white contrast/dye you are asked to drink does not agree with you or makes you sick then ask them to let you drink the lemonade drink instead. It's just like drinking lemonade and has a watery consistancy.
Most people lose their hair with chemotherapy drugs and this is a trauma all by itself. However, with Black Salve products you will not lose your hair. Most people with cancer have become 'dis'-eased due to some personal trauma or tragedy, over work, over stress and not eating right. They tend to further compound the issue with negative thinking. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you try to think positive and ‘ease’ yourself! Please, let your condition just leave your mind for a minute and focus instead on all the positive things in your life right now. Do this on a regular basis several times per day & feel what a fference this makes The body often follows what the mind is thinking. Remember, you are special so be kind to yourself! Also, treat yourself to something special as often as possible. Cancer, viruses, infections - “let's just throw the bums out!" So says Dr. Susan Lark, Founder of the Menopause & PMS Self Help Center & graduate of N.W. University School of Medicine & 3 time winner Am. Med. Asso, Dr.'s Recognition award. From cervical cancer to sniffles, from cronic fatigue to a flattened immune system she tells us she wants us to "tune in" to our body. While undergoing any of your treatment mostly try to stay away from spicy foods.
It's important that you get your vitamins & minerals daily to strengthen your immune system. One way to do this is to get some good tasting chewable vitamins. You probably don't need mega vitamins because your system won't absorb them unless you're taking Cleansing Time Pro's "Original" formula black salve or black salve Tablets.

FAQ's about Black Salve & Wings Heartdrops don't most traditional medical doctors use them? (Testimonials) If Cleansing Time Pro's products work on cancer, viruses, heart & vascular diseases, why Because the products are herbal in nature & grown out of the ground they are not endorsed by the American Medical Association. It is soon discovered that medical facilities do not make much money with these types of “remedies” due to their effectivness & the fact that people can & do use them in their own homes. Doctors will always use the scientific (drug) approach. Drug companies will always be advertising through the medical journals & to doctors. Please read our ‘History’ page to leam more about why the American Medical Association does nol recognize herbal treatments.
(Useful Links) Are there any side effects from these products? AFL ORES? ) Black salve products taken internally should be taken with food and on a full stomach to avoid an upset stomach, Side effects are usually mild & go away during or after treatment. This may include loose stools, sinus headache, stiffness in joints or fever. Black salve used externally as a poultice could cause a buming sensation and/or pain that will go away during or after treatment & may cause some degree of scarring. However, we have worked to reduce the chances of this by defining dermatalogical practices for your use before, during & after treatment. However, every effort should be made to let the cancerous material come to the surface of the skin naturally, leave it alone & not pick it off, Picking it off could cause unnecessary scarring & prevent the full mass from coming out, Usually this process is completed when it falls off by itself. External treatment can last days or months from start to finish depending on the severity of the condition, Wings Heartdrops will leave a garlic taste in the mouth for a few minutes after use. Can I take these products with other medications? It depends but there should not be any problems with most over the counter meds. The choice is ultimately solely up to you. Cleansing Time Pro is held harmless from any action you may take arising out of your condition, It ts best if you cither contact us or your physician or both and give it some thought about what you're trying to achieve. However, please be aware that regular physicians do not know about herbal treatments. So in most cases, if asked or told about these products it may interfere in your treatment by that physician.

VOLUME 146 Complaint History of eerbs 4 black ealve A piece of history of particular interest dates back to 1825. This is an excerpt from a book authored by John S. Haller published in 1994 by the Southern Illinois University Press called Medical Protestants - the eclectics in American medicine. With the practice of French physicians using minerals (gold, silver & copper to name a few) to treat their patients came many unsuccessful attermps. But with the few people they were able to miraculously heal with the use of metals they received much attention. The news spread to America, the practice continued and they went on to form an association of physicians. Over a period of time, some physicians incorporated the use of plant life to heal people.
After many years about 50% of the doctors left the association ito form a new association of medical protestants built entirely on the use of remedies made from plant life or herbs. However, since the original mineral association was much older it received more attention from those who would finance their endeavors. So while the mineralists struggled with many disappointing setbacks in thier treatments the new protestants were slowly healing people in one small town after another. (They remained healing people in this fashion ever since while the ‘old association of metalists continued to grow with the new scientific discoveries being made throughout the century and later became known as the American Medical Association, So there you have it folks. We can send people to the moon & mars, have a lot of fancy medical machinery to peer deeper into our beings but still can't eradicate deadly diseases. The mark (herbal treatment) was missed by a long shot as explained here but Cleansing Time Pro is turning the tide on this! The history of black salve started when Tom McCreary was diagnosed with incurable, cancerous tumors on his neck in 1890. He used black salve and went on to live another 70 years! So please celebrate with us as Cleansing Time Pro salutes 116 years of black salve and the history of the natural healing process!

BACON 643 Complaint _ smail area in the treated area is red and greyish in color you may wish to reapply an additional amount of salve for another 24 hour period, repeating the same cleaning process. Change the Vaseline coated bandage each day after cleaning the perimeter of the area with Hydrogen Peroxide to eliminate excess excretion. Usually, the more excretion that appears the better. The salve is drawing the abnormal tissue, cells and mass to the surface for elimination. This is usually accomplished without any noticeable bleeding. Often at this stage the growth will become twice or more its normal size and the area around the growth may swell. The growth may lighten in color becoming ‘dead white’ after the first day and may then re-darken slightly. Pus may form under and around the growth as the body pushes the growth out. You may shower or wash the area every day. It Is essential to keep it covered with new daily applications of Vaseline and Gean bandages. This is based on experience. A scab will appear and remove itself usually within ten days to three weeks, More favorable results will occur if the scab is Not lifted or pried from the area. Normaliy, the skin will return to a smooth surface shortly after either by filling in with new tissue or scar tissue. Effects of scarring can be eliminated or minimized by taking vitamin E orally before and during use and rubbing vitamin E on the area after the scab falls off. The salve used externally can cause a burning sensation. This should be kept in mind when applying to very large areas. The effects of this can be lessened by taking over the counter pain medication prior to and during It’s use. If severe pain develops only leave the saive on for 8 hours, wash the salve off the skin and apply plain Vaseline to another dean bandage and cover the affected area.
If dealing with a skin cancer, it is recommended to treat one area at a time but not more than five areas, waiting for the hole to fill in with new skin before treating the second or consecutive area(s), You may want to start in @ place where you can hide the bandage easily such as just under your shirt sleeve, etc. The salve will draw from the surrounding Circumference of the treated area.
These recommendations describe the absolute minimum doses that people have found to be effective. It cannot be stressed enough that Black Salve is very potent. Do not assume that if a little works, more will be better. Use the smallest doses possible and increase only if it truly seems necessary to you. Otherwise you will engender far more pain than necessary and extend the healing period. What Everyone Needs to Know:
The tablets are all you need if you are just doing a regular detoxification. But if you're dealing with a very serious problem you should have both tablets and salve. For instance, you might want to take up to two salve capsules per day then follow up your treatment with the tabiets at a later date to maintain non activity. Do not exceed 4 tablets or 2 capsules per day. Tf using the salve externally, you may want to take a tablet orally as well. There is no set dosage and the amount taken will depend on each person and the way they feel after taking it. You may want to increase or decrease the dosage. Always take with a meal to avoid stomach upset. Due to the Ingredients used to hold the tablets together to form the pill it has less active ingredients than the salve. A single tablet Is Yz the potency of a pea size portion of salve in a gelatin capsule. You might feel ‘pain’, a ‘pulling’, ‘drawing’ or ‘tingling’ sensation as the tumor or cancer starts to break down and come away or dissolve. You may notice a lessening of the above feelings as your treatment progresses & this is a good sign! ‘Original Formula’ Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve products have been called ‘the relentless healer’ tracking down cancer cells and abnormalities throughout the body when used internally and flushing them from your system via your waste. Some people have reported loose bowels, foul breath and feces due to the elimination process. And when used externally, deposits them to the surface of the skin in varied appearances (usually the uglier-the excretion the better). Pain, swelling and sometimes fever is associated during it’s use but in almost all reported ceses, it eliminates abnormal tissue and stimulates regrowth of either healthy tissue or scar tissue. If you are in the process of using chemotherapy, do not use Black Salve. The chemical action that occurs with the herbs could clash with the substances in chemotherapy drugs. Also, Black Salve may destroy or rid your body of the chemotherapy drugs. Waiting 2 sufficient amount of time after chemotherapy Is your best bet. Poge 2.0f' 6 EXHIBIT B-2 VOLUME 146 Complaint The medical approach is successful in some peoples lives. However, some people who use Slack Salve do not have medical operations, chemotherapy or radiation treatments with reported results. Some people have had all operations, chemotherapy and radiation either in whole or In part and have taken Black Saive with reported results. Some people with inoperable cancer/tumors have taken Black Salve with reported results. So it doesn’t matter where you are in your treatment, just that you are doing something, because time is of the essence. Most people like the fact that Black Salve, a natural holistic folk remedy, can be taken in the comfort of their own home without Insurance. Tt Is particularly important to take daily vitamins & minerals and to try to eat fresh fruits & vegetables during and after treatment with Black Salve Tablets or Capsules to help fortify your immune system and give you strength and energy. Vitamin E tablets or vitamin E cream is also recommended for use. Refuse to Indulge in self doubt or In feeling like a victim. Rather, (on a daily basis as often as possible) fan in yourself the ferocious feeling of YES to the life-force, to preservation and to becoming greater than you were yesterday. This triggers the body’s release of hormones and enzymes that literally instruct the body to become whole and stay well! Please understand that each of us can do anything and that miraculous change Is the result of a mind and a feeling that will accept nothing less.
IMPORTANT WARNING NOTES: Pregnant women or people with stomach ulcers should not use black salve or black Salve tablets. Always take black salve on a 7ull stomach. Do not touch anything metal to black salve, use only wooden or plastic utensils. People applying salve topically should use extreme caution. People treating late stage liver cancer should use black salve or tablets sparingly. Do not take black salve if you are currently on chemotherapy, wait at least 2 weeks. Keep out of the reach of other people, children, pets & animals. Cleansing Time Pro recommends diagnostics (blood tests, MRI's, CT scans or PET scans) be performed to gauge your Condition, progress or size of your tumor, your bicod levels, etc. Black salve can cause swelling. Because of this, people with brain tumors should not take black salve. However, if treating @ brain tumor(s) with black salve you may need @ qualified surgeon to insert a small hole(s) in the scull to relieve pressure. Do not think this is odd in any way. Many brain tumors are inoperable. However, a small hole is far superior to the sort of treatment one would receive from the full blown standard medical procedures.

Improper portions of the ingredients will not result in a favorable outcome. Therefore, duplication of ‘Original Formula’ Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve should not & can not be achieved, Page 4 of 5 EXHIBIT B-4 VOLUME 146 Complaint | In 1890 Tom Mc Creary was diagnosed as having incurable, cancerous tumors on his neck, by physicians. They refused to operate, not wanting to risk his jugular vein. Tom said he paid attention to a repeated dream that came to him about how to make a remedy to cure himself. He obtained the elements and herbs for the remedy from some gypsies traveling through Texas at the time, He mixed up a black salve and applied it to his tumors. In less than a month Tom was healed and went on to live another 70 years. Over his lifetime, he was a preacher, rancher, doctor, farmer and sheriff under Judge Parker. He lived with a strength that became legendary. Tom kept the formula for the black salve to himself except for sharing it with en old friend. After Toms long life, his son Howard and grandson Mickey, sought out the old friend who taught them how to make the black salve. Howard Mc Creary, attempting to make the salve avallable to everyone, started a company in the ‘60's. The company had some tests done in the early ‘70's at the University of Colorado to discover more about it. The Veterinarian College at Fort Coilins tested it on ail viruses known at the time. They discovered that it killed those known viruses on contact. They discovered that with one application, sarcoids on horses (similar to skin cancer) had an 80% cure. With two applications, they achieved 100% cure. For many years it had been used to cure cancer in cows, save herds of calves from early viral diseases and treat abnormal tissue growths in all kinds of pets. By word of mouth, ranchers, homesteaders and folks on the rodeo circuits used it on external cancers, tumors and growths on themselves. Some successfully treated gangrene and even leprosy, in situations far from towns and doctors. Tom's son, Howard Mc Creary, was the first to use it internaily, He had been diagnosed as having stomach cancer In the ‘60's. After he checked himself in the hospital for surgery the night before, as they did in those days, he took the first dose in a capsule without telling his doctors. The next moming they postponed his surgery because he was running a fever which continued for several days. On the S* day, Howard said he passed a large quantity of black, vile smelling feces - apparently the growth itself, When the doctors took x-rays, they discovered that the cancerous growth was gone. Howard went on to live another 25 years without recurring stomach cancer. Another piece of history of particular interest dates back to 1825 in America. This is an excerpt from a book authored by John S, Haller published in 1994 by the Southern Illinois University Press called Medical Protestants - the eclectics In American medicine.

VOLUME 146 Decision and Order ATTACHMENT A 657 HOLLY A. BACON Analysis to Aid Public Comment ANALYSIS OF CONSENT ORDER TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT The Federal Trade Commission has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a consent order from Holly A. Bacon, doing business as Cleansing Time Pro (“respondent”). The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for reception of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement’s proposed order.
This matter concerns the advertising and promotion of products known as Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets. According to their labels, these products contain “blood root, galangal & zinc chloride in a base of blended synergistic herbs (+ calcium in the tablets).” Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve is an ointment that respondent recommends for external use. Alternatively, respondent recommends that consumers take the product internally by purchasing Black Salve Tablets or by placing an amount of the Black Salve ointment into a gelatin capsule.
The Commission’s complaint charges that respondent claimed that Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets were effective to treat, prevent, or cure numerous forms of cancer and various viral infections, including hepatitis, HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus, and Avian Bird Flu. The complaint alleges that respondent did not have a reasonable basis for these claims. The Commission’s complaint also challenges respondent’s testimonial advertising. The complaint alleges that respondent failed to disclose adequately that one of the endorsers was respondent Holly A. Bacon herself. The complaint alleges that this was a deceptive act or practice, because the fact that one of the endorsers had a VOLUME 146 Analysis to Aid Public Comment material connection with Cleansing Time Pro would materially affect the weight and credibility given by consumers to the endorsement and would be material to consumers in their purchase or use of the products.
The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent respondent from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future. Part I requires respondent to have competent and reliable scientific evidence substantiating any claim that Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets, or any other covered product or service, is effective in the prevention, treatment or cure of cancer, cancer, hepatitis, HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus, or Avian Bird Flu. A “covered product or service” is defined as any food, dietary supplement, or drug, including, but not limited to, Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets, or any other healthrelated product, service, or program. Part II requires that any future claim about the absolute or comparative benefits, performance, efficacy, safety or side effects of any covered product or service be truthful and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence.
Part III of the proposed order addresses the deceptive endorsement claim by requiring that respondent disclose any material connection between an endorser and respondent, if such a connection exists. “Material connection” is defined as any relationship that materially affects the weight or credibility of the user testimonial or endorsement and that would not reasonably be expected by consumers.
Part IV of the proposed order provides that the order does not prohibit respondent from making representations for any drug that are permitted in labeling for the drug under any tentative or final Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) standard or under any new drug application approved by the FDA; and representations for any product that are specifically permitted in labeling for that 659 HOLLY A. BACON Analysis to Aid Public Comment product by regulations issued by the FDA under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990.
Part V of the proposed order requires respondent to compile a list of all consumers who purchased Cleansing Time Pro Black Salve & Tablets from respondent since July 1, 2005, and to mail a letter (Attached to the proposed order as Attachment A) to each purchaser describing the scientific evidence related to these products. Part VI prohibits respondent from providing any identifying information about her purchasers to anyone other than the Commission, another law enforcement agency, or as required by law.
Parts VII through X of the proposed order require respondent to keep copies of relevant advertisements and materials that substantiate claims made in the advertisements; to provide copies of the order to certain of her employees; to notify the Commission of her affiliation with any new health-related business or employment; and to file compliance reports with the Commission. Part XI of the proposed order is a “sunset” provision, dictating that the order will terminate twenty years from the date it is issued or twenty years after a complaint is filed in federal court, by either the United States or the FTC, alleging any violation of the order. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed order. It is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the agreement and proposed order or to modify in any way their terms.
