Ted posed with 3 of his 5 sons on Father’s Day 2007. He hopes he can spend a few more Father’s Days with them. But he needs help. Ted is suffering from late stage prostate cancer. Ted is seeking a Provenge, a safe and effective Immunotherapy voted overwhelmingly safe by an FDA Advisory Panel of experts. The FDA won’t let him have it, because of some “leaked” letters written by some severely conflicted doctors, one of whom is a scientific advisor for Proquest Investments and who has a stake in the competition. Ted has already undergone brachytherapy where radioactive seeds were implanted in his testicles to no avail, and he is currently undergoing horomone therapy. His cancer has metastacized outside of his protate gland and into his vertebrae. He refuses to take the only option open to him now, a chemotherapy, which is so toxic that most men refuse to take it. It would destroy whatever quality of life he has left. Please join us in helping Ted get access to Provenge before it is too late.

Hear Ted in his own words:

Prostate Cancer: Fighting the FDA for your Life — Andrew Schorr’s Patient Power, HealthRadio.net 8/22/2007

The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can’t keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.
