In the Dr. Farrah case, we should not rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with the underlying causes and not to grapple with the effects. It is unfortunate that the case is against Dr. Farrah, but it is even more unfortunate that the FDA’s racial injustice structure against the poor and the abandoned cancer patients left her with no alternative. There can be no gainsaying the fact that the longer the Cancer Center of Dr. Farrah is reopened, the shorter the thin thread that keeps the cancer patients from hanging can last. Is this not grossly unjust treatment to the cancer patients?
Verily, the medical association and the big Pharma had no personality in the case because there hasn’t been any damage on their part. Neither can they file a case against Dr. Farrah because she is a licensed medical practitioner. Being so, she can give anything she feels can cure the patient. On the part of the patient, it is their choice which doctor they think they're receiving proper medical care because what is most primordial is that their health must be placed in the hands of a doctor who earned their confidence.
On the issue of the raid of the Cancer Clinic, first of all, why did it raid and close the Cancer Center just on the basis of a single transaction that Dr. Farrah was selling Boston C which was not registered? Any lawyer who poses a claim the raid and the closure is legal stands in risk of serious ridicule. Dr. Farrah registered the Boston C but the FDA did not act on the application for registration for an unreasonable length of time to the extent as to be considered already as an inordinate delay. Therefore, how can you accuse a person of something of which you are at fault in the first place? As justification for this is that it could be used as a source for a money making scheme by unscrupulous public officials in the sense that all applicants for the registration of a food supplement can be potential targets for search and seizure by simply not acting on their application in order to be able to conduct a raid. This was what happened in the case of Dr. Farrah and the closure of her Cancer Clinic. These cancer patients are human beings, they are not animals.
It is the FDA which has a lot to answer in this case.
