Dr. Farrah was not selling her concoction specifically as a cure for cancer; she was prescribing food and vitamins to her cancer patients who assert they were cured. Any part of the plant is considered herbs and is classified as food. As a licensed medical doctor, necessarily Dr. Farrah was doing perfectly legal. In fact and in law, giving food or vitamins is a religious undertaking. Therefore, it doesn’t need for the FDA to take inordinate delay in granting registration permit to Dr. Farrah for her Boston C and Vitamin C. Worst, without formal resolution of denial or approval of her application for registration, the FDA conducted a raid and close her Cancer Center for patients seeking to avail of her concoction from different herbs.
If the FDA Officials kept their intransigent stand and not rectify their action in the Dr. Farrah case soonest, they should have seen themselves holding a two-edged sword when they applied the law with an evil eye and unequal hand. The FDA officials certainly hurt and besmirch Dr. Farrah’s reputation, which reputation is like a plant of tender growth and its bloom once lost cannot easily be restored. But the FDA was the one hurt itself most. Good ends do not justify foul means. But what the FDA did was worse because their purpose of the raid was concocted and the means was exaggerated, overacting and beyond measure.
The message that leaps to the eye is that as between the FDA whose reputation on corruption is highly pronounced, and its tardiness and inefficiency reclines far, far away from the standard, its credibility can be measured by a handful of sand as against Dr. Farrah with a renowned reputation as the savior of the poor and the downtrodden, the credibility is measured as vast as the sea, how can the FDA be believed.
Pertinently, when you’ve done something wrong, do not play hard to get and hesitate because the accusing fingers are all pointing at you. Admit it and be sorry. No one in history has ever choked to death from swallowing his pride.
In a long line of cases too numerous to mention, it's been said: the Material loss can be repaired or adequately compensated. But the debasement of the human being - broken in morale and brutalized in spirit — can never be fully evaluated in monetary terms. The wounds fester and the scars remain to humiliate him to his dying day, even as he cries in anguish for retribution, denial of which is like rubbing salt on bruised tissues."
