Claims of A Treatment For SARS
Six weeks after the initial identification of the virus causing the 2003 SARS outbreak, Horowitz and some associates promoted what they claimed was an "effective treatment" for the disease, a naturopathic product line called "Urbani". Carlo Urbani, who had first identified SARS to the World Health Organization as a new, infectious and lethal disease after it had spread from China to Vietnam, had died of SARS on March 29, 2003.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Horowitz that his marketing of purported remedies for SARS violated regulations.

Famous quotes containing the words claims and/or treatment:
“For that is love’s nature that it lays claim to exclusive right and that all other claims are nil.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
