A)  "The law does not allow me to practice my techniques that have led me to cure patients within weeks and often days."

B)  "I legally cannot even tell you what to do or not to do."

Are there really laws that prevent this?

I'm especially interested in B.  Are there really laws that do not allow this?  If so, what laws?

Actually it is worse than having laws.  The US Government has laws that setup regulatory bodies who then make up the laws themselves.  The results are horrific.  The body in this case is the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) which regulates all foods, medicines, herbs, medical procedures and medical devices, basically anything you put in your body and/or attach to it and/or speak to (They regulate talk therapy) is under their complete control.

Even though I am against "alternative medicine" so to speak (I am very much skeptical about it, I prefer scientific method), but I agree with the sentiment here, limitgov.

I appreciate that.  These alternative MDs (many are medical doctors who went to medical school and practiced, but saw such horrible results and such terrific results from alternative treatments) use protocols and evidence in their results they talk about.

 

"is under their complete control."

but specifially, I'm very curious, what laws are preventing him and others from actually saying x,y,z?

The FTC's shown a willingness to shut down sites that disagree with mainstream medicine.

Why doesn't he point out the specific laws? Failing to do so hurts his credibility, as far as I'm concerned. For all we know, the man is a pure charlatan. We seem to have no way of verifying whether he is. (I concede that this may be the whole point on the part of the government.)

Aside from libel and seditious libel, none.
