On Monday, December 19th a Complaint with request for a Temporary Restraining Order was presented to Hon. Ann McCormick, a Superior Court Judge in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on behalf of General Stubblebine, President of the Natural Solutions Foundation, by his counsel, Neil Grossman, Esq., in the case of Laibow and Stubblebine vs JFK – Docket No. C-213-16 . The TRO, which has been termed a significant step for health freedom, was signed 22 December 2016 by Judge McCormick.
.
Here is a scan of the relevant parts of the Temporary Restraining Order:
.
.
The facts in the case, as we understand them, are as follows:
.
1. General Bert was admitted to JFK Medical Center ER on September 1, 2016 by our colleague Dr. Richard Menashe, D.O., a well-known, holistically-oriented physician with admitting privileges there.
.
2. General Bert’s condition was quite grave. You can read the Medical Bulletins that we have published periodically since he was admitted here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/general-bert-medical-bulletin/
.
3. After two weeks in ICU and CCU, with only minimal nutrition (Dr. Rima used spray nutrients, as General Bert could not swallow) a feeding tube was installed.
.
4. For about 70 days, with his physician’s permission, Dr. Rima mixed various organic foods and nutrients together and added the nutrient mix to the feeding tube, four times a day.
.
This was done in conformity with the Orphan Drug Law, allowing:
.
“… food which is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation….” Section 5(b) of the Orphan Drug Act of 2005 (21 U.S.C. 360ee (b) (3)) *
.
5. On November 30th, citing a Hospital Policy adopted in 2001 that allows only “FDA approved medications” the nutrient feeding was stopped (initially they said “temporarily”). Neither General Bert nor Dr. Rima, his health proxy, gave Informed Consent for the stopping of nutritional therapy.
.
General Bert has survived since then on hospital “feed” and the residual nutrition from the 70 days of Dr. Rima’s therapy, plus a return to spraying.
.
6. It became clear that his overall condition was suffering from the lack of nutritional supplementation, and, after days of delays by the Hospital, which put repeated roadblocks in the way of restoring the nutrition, no choice was left but to go to Court.
.
What type of roadblocks? First, they asserted their Hospital Policy that was written before the Orphan Drug Act and its important clause about Medical Foods, which we believe overrides State Medical Board restrictions on the use of nutrition in healing. They claimed that only “FDA-approved medications” could be used. FDA has no power to “approve” Dietary Supplements, which are “grandfathered” under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and are not medications.
.
Then they said we had to provide sealed bottles of the vitamins. Then they wanted Certificates of Analysis, which we also provided. Then they said they still could not allow the nutrition anyway!
.
7. After receiving our papers and hearing the arguments put forth by our Counsel, the Judge has indicated that General Bert must be permitted to receive the nutrition, at least until a full hearing which could occur in about a month.
.
Legal support for Informed Consent is yet another way that General Bert continues to stand strong for your Health Freedom! We need your help to support this litigation.
