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."

Communist, same difference
Because the pharametucial companies don’t recommend it. In others words they don’t get any money from it.
Something else going on here.
1) the FDA has it’s own enforcement arm and is not mentioned - though they will ask for FBI assistance on occassion.
2) such a raid would normally be for documentation and records - not mentioned here.
3) the FDA approves medicines and devices for the claims being made by sellers and has no authority over doctors.
4) CDC and other Fed agencies will recommend treatments but don’t dictate legally treatment protocols
5) Doctors have ALWAYS been able to prescribe off-label usage of both devices and medication - though they could be found liable
6) There is NO discussion about state licensing agency involvement and they are the ones who would dictate if a doctor is acting outside the bounds of what they are allowed to do.
and 7) Why would the FBI be pulled into such a relatively small thing
So.... my take is something else going on

“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?”
Have you a link to this story ?

That’s why it should be called the PANdemIC of 2020.
Nor the so called 21 century “MD” gatekeepers $$$$.
The elites are against the little people doing well against covid-19. Only they can receive treatment. Why are they doing everything they can to stop joe average american from doing OK?
Economic disaster, illness and death.
Makes me think this is as alot of us suspected.
People (liberals; globalists; communists). Should hang for this. Not much chance of that with such a corrupt government.
Don’t forget the chlorine BATH!
I just ordered some vitamin C. It will soon arrive in my FEDERAL mail box. Should I be worried about the FBI when I go to get it from, my, sorry, the government’s mail box? /s
There is no “C” in “FBI”!
Hitler would be proud!
Where’s Soros & sons???
So.... my take is something else going on
= = =
To Quote Homer Simpson: “Duh.”
“We’ve been taking extra Vitamin C since this all started.”
I read a study linking kidney stones with vitamin C. (25 percent increase in kidney stone formation with recommended vitamin C daily dose.) I cut back as I have had several kidney stones.
The problem with many vitamins and supplements is that we as a species evolved without them. Therefore actual supplementation of our diet may have unexpected and unwanted effects. Mostly, hard data is difficult to come by as there’s no way to recoup the cost of obtaining it. My mom’s advice, which I continue to follow is, everything in moderation.
Sure seems like there are a lot of other bad dudes and sleazy characters in Detroit. Why is this fellow being singled out?
That is the real reason? Vitamin C? (He could have done abortions and received a medal)
Was he charging crazy high prices for the treatments? Some sort of medical fraud? Some of the story seems to be missing.
Common treatment also used in China to lesson symptoms.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use it.
” hard data is difficult to come by as there’s no way to recoup the cost of obtaining it.
There is huge research. Start at Life Extension.
