From Arnold Gore:

Contact your legislators and ask that they make sure FDA allows Jason Vale the right to speak freely about his alternative cancer treatment.

Subject: Jason Vale and The Food and Drug Administration - MUST READ & PASS AROUND!!!

May 27, 2003

I am writing you in regards to an extremely important court hearing
between the Food and Drug Administration and a citizen by the name
of Jason Vale. Knowing that your time is limited, I would like to
give you a short explanation of a true story that is much like that
of David and Goliath.

At the age of eighteen, Jason was handed a death sentence by his
doctors when it was discovered that he had terminal cancer. This
was confirmed by a second, third and fourth opinion of reputable
doctors who specialized in his specific type of cancer. As many
cancer victims do, he and his parents sought alternative remedies
when traditional chemotherapy only seemed to make things worse.
Through extensive research, they discovered that for years people
who once had cancer found healing properties in something as simple
as the seed of a fruit. It turned out that apricot seeds, along
with other citrus-variety type of seeds, contain natural properties
that help the body to kill cancer.

Jason immediately began to feel better once on a regimen of eating
apricot seeds as a part of his daily diet. Within a short period of
time, Jason's cancer literally disappeared. Jason's story soon
became the talk of the town. His new lease on life allowed Jason to
engage in sports once again. This was important to him because he
was an avid sports enthusiast as he was growing up. His
determination and grit eventually earned him the title of "The Arm
Wrestling Champion of the World" in the middle weight division. As
a direct result, Jason's story of certain death from cancer to
becoming a world recognized sports figure became a media
phenomenon. When the prime-time television show "Extra" aired
Jason's story on national television, it turned out to be the
program's highest rated show to date so they chose to run that same
episode the following week. This was something they had never done
before in the history of the show. The viewer response was so great
that Jason was inundated with thousands of telephone calls from
people all over the country who had cancer or were concerned friends
or family members of someone who had cancer.

Since then, Jason has inspired and helped over 100,000 people, many
of whom were handed the same death sentence Jason was given over
seventeen years ago. These people are from all walks of life who
have had various types of cancers. Through proper diet, nutrition,
and the introduction of apricot seeds into their daily diets, they
have one-by-one created their own success stories that they will
live to tell. Unfortunately, this real-life story has a turbulent
chapter that is now being written, and this is why we are in dire
need of your help. In November, 2001, Jason was strong-armed by the
Food and Drug Administration into signing a Consent Decree that
would prevent him from sharing his story or promoting apricot
seeds. The FDA has now brought criminal charges against Jason for
telling people where to get apricot seeds. His father had to post
$840,000 bail and Jason is pending trial that is set for July 14,
2003. The Honorable Judge John Gleeson will be presiding over the
proceedings. The same Judge who presided over the hearing which
resulted in the signing of the Consent Decree.

Jason did cease from selling apricot seeds, but continued to share
his own story (to those who called him) of how he survived cancer
through eating apricot seeds. Literally thousands of people have
achieved wellness through Jason's help. You can view some of these
stories, along with a more detailed history of Jason's court case at
his websites: http://seedoffaith.com and http://apricotsfromgod.org
Jason's prior legal counsel assured him he could still share his
belief in the curing properties of the apricot seeds whether it be
over the internet or via the telephone. However, the current
criminal charges brought by the FDA against Jason is a clear
indicator that he is not allowed to share his story. This is
clearly a violation of Jason's fundamental right to Freedom of
Speech. It is also evident that the American public's freedom to
choose alternative remedies to health problems is also being
chiseled away through this action by the FDA. It is imperative that
the FDA interprets their own statutes fairly and in accordance with
DSHEA, especially with regard to the apricot seed and Laetrile
issues that have been subject to an ongoing battle for over 30
years. It is imperative that the apricot seed extract is ruled in
court to be a nutriceutical and allowed to be used by informed
Americans who are terminally ill with cancer.

Jason is being assisted with legal advice by some of the top people
in the alternative health field. Richard Jaffe, the prominent
Houston, Texas attorney who helped Dr. Burzynski win his court case
against the FDA in 1994, has given him important legal advice
regarding the upcoming trial. Dr. Michael Culbert, President of the
International Council for Health Freedom, will be featuring Jason in
an article in The Health Freedom
News this month.

Please contact us at 1-800-395-7379 if you have any legal advice to
offer, or if you are in a position to interview Jason to get his
story out in the public eye so that more citizens are aware of these
issues. Any financial assistance you can offer to help with the
mounting court costs would also be greatly appreciated. Please help
spread the word by forwarding this letter and the
www.seedoffaith.com website to as many people as possible; and take
a moment of your time to contemplate the tremendous impact you could
have on the American public's health, if you would allow yourself to
consider that something as simple as an apricot seed could be the
answer to eradicating a vicious disease such as cancer from the
world.
