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:
“Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be an injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord’s or a banker’s?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
