Regarding:        Fraud committed by Toby McAdam of Risingsun Health or bloodrootproducts.com

 

Dear Ms. Scott,

 

We have received at least 50 complaints in writing and several dozen more complaints by telephone.  Before we shut down in September of 2003, Mr. McAdam was our Northern American Distributor.  At the time we were shut down, he owed us a balance of between $5,000 to $6,000 for products we shipped to his customers and he received payment from the customers, but did not pay for the product to Alpha Omega Labs.  Before we shut down, Mr. McAdam had made a duplicate copy of Alpha Omega’s web site.  We began to notice after we closed that he started to change the wording from “Alpha Omega Labs” to “RisingSun Health” and from “Cansema” to “Bla-Cansema”.  Our biggest concern is that we have now realized that he is changing the wording in almost every testimonial (about 125) that Alpha Omega had received and posted on our web site.  He has changed the product wording used from the original Cansema Salve to his product “Bla-Cansema” and from “Alpha Omega Labs” to his company “Risingsun Health”.  The following is the link of Alpha’s Testimonials and “Risingsun’s Testimonials”.

 

http://www.altcancer.com/cantest01.htm  ß Alpha Omega’s Site

 

http://www.risingsunhealth.com/cansema_info/cantest.htm  ß RisingSun’s Site

 

Example:

 

http://www.altcancer.com/estes.htm  ß Kent Estes’ Testimonial on Alpha Omega

 

http://www.bloodrootproducts.com/estes.htm  ß Kent Estes’ Testimonial on RisingSun

 

Also – we know that Toby McAdam is working with George Ackerson, one of the informants who were used in the Affidavit for the Search Warrant against Greg Caton and Alpha Omega Labs.  George had a 15-year business relationship with Greg Caton.  George convinced Greg to invest in the H30 product that the FDA arrested Greg on “introduction of an unapproved drug” and screwed Greg out of $45,000 in purchasing equipment to make the H3O.  We were in the middle of a civil lawsuit against George Ackerson at the time of the raid over the $45,000 scam.  George teamed up with the FDA to get Greg thrown in jail, and now has teamed up with Toby McAdam to profit from the same products and using the same informational web site that Greg Caton had and is in jail for.

 

Toby McAdam called several weeks ago and when I answered the phone he told me his lawyer was going to contact me because he was going to sue us for slander.  Of course we are not worried about being sued for slander against Mr. McAdam because we were only repeating the complaints that we received from our/his customers.  Nothing was said without first hearing it from one of Mr. McAdam’s customers first.

 

I will be sending you several emailed complaints about Toby McAdam right now and will continue to send you emails as we get them and as I find them on our company computers.

 

If there is anything you need from us, please give us a call.  We understand this is a confidential investigation and will not repeat anything you ask from us. 

 

Thank you for your time –

 

Cathryn Caton, Crystal Leslie and Tabetha LeDoux

Hello, Tabetha,  
    I thought this might interest you.  I did more research and last night I sent the following message.  Perhaps others who have contacted you about RisingSun could also use the following tactic.  Ann, at Risingsun, called this morning.  She wanted to verify that I received the notice from PayPal informing me that my money has been refunded.  I did and it was.  It's been quite a ride :o) 
    Thank you for all the support and information that has helped me through this.
God Bless You,

Dear Ms. Armstrong,
    This is to notify you that I've made repeated requests for a refund for $57.45.  Transaction Date: May 1, 2005 PayPal Transaction ID: 6DF25382K6891763K.  On May 2, 2005 I requested a refund.  I have sent several emails since that time and made several phone calls.  On May 23, 2005 I once again contacted Risingsun and again spoke with Ann about the requested refund.  I mentioned fraud.  On May 23, 2005 I again emailed Toby McAdam.  I sent him the website link http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp which is the governments Internet Fraud Reporting website.  I'm sorry to say I believe Mr. McAdam will test me to see if I will file a report.  I'm also sorry to say that I will.   I am one of those who have been given a death sentence of a malignant melanoma and am desperate.  I don't have the time, temperament, or desire to be robbed by a person that takes my money, without before hand mentioning the product is on back order, and then not refunding my money immediately upon request. 
    As you are listed as the Administrative contact for Bloodroot products I felt it only fair to notify you of this situation.  If my money is not refunded by noon, PST on May 25, 2005, a report of fraud will be filed with the U.S. government.  I truly hate to do this because of the government's desire to stop the sale of natural supplements.  Regardless, if my money is not refunded as mentioned, I will file the complaint.
 
Sincerely,
[ Permission to release name not on record ]

Good Morning and 'oh my goodness'!
    Last night I ordered Alpha Omega Cansema Black Salve Deep Tissue from http://www.bloodrootproducts.com/cansema_deep.htm  I read about the salve on your website and in desperation I ordered the product from the above site.  I didn't realize it was an alternate site to Rising Sun.  It was my hope and belief that it was actually your product and that you'd found a way to sale it again.  This is the second time I've had melanoma.  The first was removed surgically.  I now have another metastactic melanoma on my shoulder.  It's been confirmed by a biopsy.  The tumor has now raised it's head above the skin surface by one-third of and inch and is approximately one inch in diameter.  The inflammation covers +/- 3 inches.  I believe your product would get rid of it.  I apparently have fallen for a scam.  Do you think there is any possibility that the knock-off Rising Sun product will work?  Do you have the product available from any source available to me? 
    Please help me if you can.
Sincerely,

Hi Tabetha,

Thank you for your reply.

I am appalled about Toby McAdam, he certainly is a
real rogue, with no concern for people.  I cannot
understand why he has not been arrested.  I mean, Greg
has been charged, and Toby just carries on as usual.
I have made paypal aware that he did not deliver, so
whether they still have dealings with him I am not
sure, I may send thenm another e-mail.
Has Greg been imprisoned, and if so for how long?  So
much for wanting to help people, eh?
Here in NZ I have got to know several alternative
health practitioners that have really helped many
people;  but the phrase we often hear here is that "it
is not scientifically proven"  Oh how I tire if that
phrase.  The drug companies certainly have too much
power.
We have a very good herbalist in NZ {Malcolm Harker}
I do hope the FDA do not arrest him, his products are
amazing.
All the best to you and Greg.  Will he be able to
continue with his work later on?
Regards, Dianne *******

Hi Tabetha, :-)
 
Thank you for your very enlightening reply.  I am so sorry this happened to Greg Caton and all of you at Alpha Omega Labs.  I am well aware of how draconian the government can get when a cancer remedy works.  They are there to protect the patent medicine pushers and their multi billion dollar sickness industries, not the public.
 
On an immediate and personal note for me was the information regarding rising sun herbs as I had already ordered a 32oz bottle of the dewormer and a bottle of iodine from that site before I received your reply.  :-0  I thought it was an affiliated site that was still in business or I would not have bought from it.
 
I have notified paypal and just got off the phone to my bank.  The bank suggests I contact the Federal Trade Commission and Paypal suggests I call the FBI as this is internet fraud and they are very hot on this at the moment.   This guy may have well been insturmental in the deaths of people with cancer who relied on his bogus concoction and he does need to be stopped.  On the other hand I do not want to cause you folks anymore grief.
 
Would you and Alpha Omega Labs be willing to provide copies of all the complaints you have received regarding this person to the authourities?  Once I pass on what you have told me they will very likely be contacting you.  I will wait until I hear from you Monday to proceed. 
 
I received the package from Rising Sun yesterday, Friday 2/4/5.  I have emailed rising sun twice requesting a return RMA or at least an aknowledgement that the items will be refunded with no response so far.  I will give him until Monday to reply and then return the package, return receipt requested, on Monday.
 
I can be reached on my cell phone anytime,***-***-**** I will be away from the computer on Monday from 12:15PM until after 6PM CST.

Hi Tabetha,
 
I just went looking for the risingsun site that looked exactly like the Alpha site and it's changed.  However, I believe he is still using the Alpha testimonials.  I found them here, http://www.bloodrootproducts.com/cantest.htm
 
The FTC says they do not deal with single complaints only class action ones.  If all the people who sent you complaints about this guy would call or go on line and fill out the complaint form at; https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
The comments just before this form can be confusing. It IS the form to use for online fraud as well as unsolicited business spam, or call them....To call the FTC go to this page; http://www.ftc.gov/ro/romap2.htm   and click on your state to get the office for your region.... Then they will do something. 
 
The woman at the FTC also suggested I contact www.fraud.com .  She said they deal with internet fraud.
 
I'm going to this site next and will keep you posted.
 
Warmly Yours,

In the comments section of the online form I included the paragraph you sent me about Mr. McAdam and I included your contact info so they can contact you regarding all the complaints you have received from people.  the authorities will only act if many people complain, not just one.  I hope this was alright.  I did not think to ask until after I hit the sent button.

I am not surprised about what is happening.  I also take amygdalin and I have to get it from the Bahama’s. If you need a distributer for the future, I can pass it on to you.  I still have a lot of the salve so I am okay there and it saved my husbands life.  I hope you haven’t lost the formula. We took the rising sun stuff and you are right, it doesn’t work. Plus I had ordered two bottles of their cansema capsules and they only sent me one and charged me for two and never sent me another bottle.  I hope and pray you can get going again because your product is superior for skin cancer.  I lost my first husband to melanoma and now my second husband has it, but cansema works for him.  I wish I had known about it for my first, because if I did, I know he would still be alive.  What the FDA is doing is so wrong and then look at Vioxx.  Keep me on your mailing list and keep me apprised of what is happening.

We are the farm that sent you the testimonial about the donkey with a rare-in-equine cancer behind her ear.  We are constantly getting inquiries about Cansema and, unfortunately, do not know where to send them.  We have gotten people that have found us through Rising Sun and also, sadly, later report that they either never got any product or got a product that in no way even came close to working.  

My question is that there are several recipes for cancer salves on the web and I was wondering if you have any comments on any of these.  We are desperate to find an alternative product and are waiting for the day when, hopefully, Alpha Omega will be back in the Cansema business. The market is out there, the puplic is ready, now...if we can just get the government to stop "protecting" us.......

Please keep us informed of any updates.

It is sad that Alpha Omega was shut down. However, rules were violated. Alpha Omega claims the products from Risingsun Health are not of original formulation. This is not accurate. Alpha Omega never did manufacture any of their product them selves. They purchased them and had them private labled. As for the information on their site about our products, the lables aren't even ours. We have 3 fda approved labs putting our products together. Our stand is simple, we sell the samve products and have not had any problems with the FDA. It could be that we do not violate the law and make health claims or that we use accurate lables. Feel free to contact us at 406-222-9949.

Does anyone know if BevenPotter.com is a reputable source to purchase cansema tonic III? I think it's the same as health.centreforce based out of Australia. I'm desperate to find this product and, unfortunately, I am another victim of risingsun.com. I can't get anyone to return my calls or e-mails. Several days ago I paid for the product thru risingsun, then got an e-mail saying the product was not in stock, with no indication of when it will be in stock. Sure enough, the Montana BBB says its received complaints about Risingsun not sending products or responding to customers wanting a refund. I am going to try to get my money back. In the meantime, I hope to be able to get the product from a reputable source.

 

Tabetha,

 

I would like a copy of the recorded conversation with notation as to when it was recorded. If you could compress the e-mail files into a .zip file that would be very helpful and you could send them at once.

 

Thank you,

 

Bob

Dear Mr. Ottaviano -

 

Thank you for responding.  At this point I have about 30 - 50 emailed complaints ready to send.  I still have to go throught a saved email file from right after the raid that has at least 30 to 50 more (if not more).  It is time consuming because I'm pulling the second set of emails from a crashed computer.

 

However, I did call Mr. McAdam's company today and was asking general "customer" questions.  The lady that answered the phone obviously did not know that I worked for Alpha Omega Labs.  The first conversation included her saying that "Yes, you can say that Risingsun's products cure cancer".  When she answered I asked her what products Risingsun sold.  She answered to me that they sell "Cansema" Black Salve and internal cancer formulas.  When I called the second time I recorded the converstation.  While she was hesitant to use the term "cure" again, she did tell me that Toby's products "get rid" of cancer.  Again - I have this recorded, if you like, I'd be more than happy to provide you with a copy of the tape.

 

Again - thank you very much.  I understand you can't comment, and I'm not asking you to...but I will provide you with enough information to help with any investigation that may be ongoing. 

 

Thank you again.

 

Ohh - PS --- Do you want the complaints 1 email at a time or do you want me to group them in several large emails?  Please advise.

Tabetha,

 

Thank you for taking the time to send me this information. As I told Ms. Caton yesterday, I cannot comment on investigative matters that may be ongoing. I will say that much of the allegations you claim against Mr. McAdams are outside the realm of law enforcement. His use of your product name and website design and his owing you $5000.00 are civil matters best left to your attorneys. If he is selling products he claims cures cancer or other diseases and they are unapproved that is illegal.

 

I visited your website, altcancer.com, and found that it contains the disclaimer "To U.S. Users: No products on this page, nor any of the statements herein, have been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Therefore, none of the products on this page is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." That disclaimer does not shield the company from prosecution if claims are being made that your products can cure or aid in the treatment of disease. My guess is that is why Mr. Caton was charged and your company searched.

 

I also visited Mr. McAdams websites. He also is under the misconception that the disclaimer will shield him from prosecution.

 

Please continue to send the complaints that you have received.

 

Thank you again,

 

Bob Ottaviano

Dear Robert -

 

Hello - my name is Tabetha.  I work for Greg and Cathryn Caton at Alpha Omega Labs in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  As per your telephone converstation with Cathryn Caton yesterday, I am going to send you all of the complaints that we're received from Toby's customers.

 

First let me give you a few specifics about this case.

 

Alpha Omega Labs had been open for 8+ years.  We have an alternative website called www.altcancer.com.  We had consulted an attorney who specialized in FDA specifics regarding what we could put on our website.  After following his instructions, making sure our website ****uage was appropriate, puting disclaimers on our website and being in business for 8 years, we were raided by the FDA and shut down.

 

While we were open we were contacted by Toby McAdams.  He credited Alpha Omega Labs and Greg Caton's products with saving his Mother.  After much discussion Toby requested to become our North American distributor.  We had multiple money problems with Mr. McAdam's before we were raided, including him asking us to raise our prices because he thought we weren't charging enough.  Mr. McAdams would also have us send his customers product, the customers would pay him and the agreement would be that he pay us a distributor price for the products so that he could make a profit, however, we NEVER got paid for products going out to his customers and his balance owing us was well above $10,000 at one point.  When we were shut down, Mr. McAdam still owed us over $5,000.00.

 

After we were shut down we asked Mr. McAdam's to stop advertising that he had Cansema products and to stop using a copy of our web site since the company was closed and the products were unavailable.  He did not stop and continues to this day to use a copy of our web site and to promise to send Cansema products when he does not have them.

 

Below are list of complaints that I received (the actual complaints will be forwarded to you via email):

 

1. Charging people's credit cards and not sending anything at all.

 

2. Sending product that they thought was Alpha Omega brand and it is not.

 

3. Sending products that do not work.

 

4. No email or telephone support.

 

5. Not answering phone at all when people request their money back because they never received any products after having their cards charged.

 

6. Claim over the phone that their products "cure cancer".

 

Below are Toby's web sites:

 

http://www.risingsunhealth.com/

 

http://www.bloodrootproducts.com/

 

Also - we've received complaints from Alpha Omega's customers who have actually used Alpha's products and submitted a testimony that has seen their Alpha Omega Labs testimony on Toby's website with their statements altered.  Mr. McAdam's took the testimonies and changed the wording to reflect his company and his products...however if you view the testimonies of both sites, you can see its the same testimonies, but with only the names changed.

The point I'm trying to make is that although I believed in Alpha Omega's products (because they worked in my opinion), I think Mr. McAdam is scaming the public.  Tonic III has been deemed by the FDA as an unapproved drug, yet Mr. McAdam is able to sell it with out being raided.  I hope that there is a full investigation and that the actual scam artists like Mr. McAdam's is stopped and the people who are trying to actually help like Greg Caton are freed.

 

I can send you email upon email of complaints against Mr. McAdams and will start as soon as I can.  I have many complaints on this computer and will be going through the old computer logs for the bulk of the complaints.  It may take me awhile to get them all to you, but I will be forwarding you each and every complaint we received that I can find. 

 

Thank you for listening.

Dear Mr. Ottaviano -

 

Here is an attachment with many, many complaints.  I'm trying to organize them to make sure there are no duplicates and continuing to go through saved files from a crashed computer.  I know there are more.  I will get everything in order and send you an updated list...I wanted you to have somewhere to begin.

 

I hope please advise that you've received this email.  The attachment is in Word format.

 

Thank you!

Hello Tabetha

I don't have a copy of that email so I will begin
anew, with the best of my recollection and using prior
mail as a guide. I have two cents to add about my
dealings with one Toby McAdams. This started when I
was searchinng the internet for the altcancer/alpha
omega products. I had been a customer of AO Labs in
the past but had not ordered in maybe 4 years. I had
attempted since being a customer to order again but
saw that things had shut down. Some time had now
elapsed since , maybe a year so I attempted again  to
see how things were going. I got confused to say the
least with different web sites for McAdams (bloodrooot
product & rising health) and altcancer site. I was
motivated by wanting the products, They seemed to be
able to supply them. Maybe two emails to them wet
unanswered so I phoned a couple of times and left
messages explaining what I wanted to order which
amoount to over 200.00 because they would offer
discounts on orders over 200.00. I even hinted I might
be interestd in a Rife type machine that they were
offering but I don't remeber the exect price of. It
was a few thousand dollars. McAdams did call me back
finally. I went over my order with him. (part of my
earlier confusion stemmed from wanting to make sure I
was not sending my money to someone that was no longer
in business). He told me they did except Pay Pal as a
payment alternative. This is how I chose to pay.
Several weeks passed with no shipment and I began to
call. This time when my phone calls were not returned
and I could get no informaton through the answering
sevice. I began to research more using McAdams name
and fraud (I think) in the search engines.  A came
acroosss a couple of hits dealing with complaints
about him. I immediately contacted Pay Pal and filed a
complaint. In another few weeks I had my money back.
Never a word again from Mr. McAdams. When I ordered I
recieved an email mail stating what my order was and
the shipping date and that I would recieve in 2-3
days.. I had orderd a me ****e of items such as Lugol's
Iodine and what he refers to as a bundle which was to
include cansema internal,external,etc., and some other
items totaling about 258.00 I think.    I  can
definetly say that his web site appearing so similar
or exactly the same  as Alpha Omegas led me to trust
him. Fortunatly for me I was able to get my money
back. Maybe he wouldn't even contact PayPal to try to
explain things. It would have hurt. He was going to
have Christmas on me. I feel sorry for those that were
unable to get a refund. One thing of note, and I
havn't looked it up lately is that I found later after
I made my complaint that McAdams was selling his
product on Ebay. You can look there for cansema and
others.I would venture that there is scam involved
there as well through eroneous buyers leaving eroneous
feedback. Hopefully ebay has stopped him by now which
they will do through the complaint process. If I can
be of any further help, let me know. Michael

Tabetha,

 

Our division is not responsible for warning letters. They are issued out of the regulatory side, which we have no control over. The issuance of a warning letter is reviewed and approved by a large number of people at all levels on the regulatory side. It isn't just an inspector signing off on it and sending it out.

 

As you were probably told when your boss was arrested, disclaimers on a website do not shield the company from liability when the company makes drug claims. The fact that several people claim the product works through testimonials doesn't make the product safe and effective in the eyes of the FDA. Anecdotal information from users of the product does not satisfy the FDA's requirements for clinical trials to test the product, nor I imagine, will it ever.

 

Has your company taken any civil action against Toby for the unauthorized use of the website? That may be an avenue open to you. 

 

Bob

Dear Bob -

 

Are you still in control of the Toby case?  My boss, Cathryn Caton was wondering why Toby received a warning letter (http://www.risingsunhealth.com/)    to take down the testimonials (http://www.risingsunhealth.com/cantest.htm).

 

We are wondering why Toby is allowed to operate a website (after stealing a complete copy of our web site including ALPHA's testimonials), sell an FDA declared unapproved drug, receive hundreds of complaints about credit card theft or that his product doesn't work after we were shut down.  We never received a "warning" letter.  The Indiana case that was filed that got Greg in trouble was insurance fraud in my opinion on the behalf of the Indiana lady and her lawyer. 

 

We had disclaimers...(its easy to prove this...Toby stole a complete copy of our web site), and would have taken any recommendation from the FDA had it come, instead my boss was sentenced to 33 months in jail for helping people.  Toby is doing the exact same thing we were, with regards to his web site, except that he scams people.  His products really don't work, and thats even if his customers even receive anything after having their cards charged.

 

Thanks...just wondering --- why the actual herbalist spent time in jail when scam artists are allowed to prosper.

Tabetha,

 

I was out of the office last week. Since I wasn't involved in the case of your former employer, I can't answer your question. I can tell you that the FDA doesn't have to issue a warning letter before criminal action is taken. Since the criminal investigation and the regulatory side are two separate entities, there may be parallel investigations going on. Many times we conduct criminal investigations where no regulatory action is taken, and they don't inspect or become involved at all. Sometimes we determine that criminal activity is present, but through experience know that the activity doesn't meet the United States Attorney's prosecutorial guidelines, and we take no action but let the regulatory side issue warning letters or do seizures. And sometimes, not only do we prosecute criminally, but the regulatory side sends warning letters and conducts inspections. It also depends on how the case is referred to the FDA. If the regulatory side gets the call first, they may not notify the criminal side until the warning letter is issued. Other times, the criminal side may get the call and run with it and notify the regulatory side later. Also, you are talking about two different districts, Montana and Florida. They may have different thresholds for action. Also what are the actual facts of the case, such as, what was the target of the investigation doing?, how much money was made?, what laws were broken?, was anyone hurt or die?, etc.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Bob

So which agency or person do I need to talk to about why Toby got a warning letter and why Greg had to spend time in jail, when for the most part the web sites are identical?  We are checking into a civil action against Toby, but it still doesn't answer the criminal part of it.

 

I really appreciate your responses.
