Additionally, the FTC alleged that the defendants falsely claimed that people who are frequently using one of the supplements included in the Emergency D-Virus treatment plan can expect “disappearance of viral symptoms within two to four days.”
Furthermore, the FTC alleged that the defendants are deceptively marketing their products as treatments for cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and many other serious illnesses.
In reality, the treatments are comprised mainly of different herbs and spices and the defendants’ health claims are unproven. Some of Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical’s treatment plans cost as much as $170,000 to $200,000, according to the Commission.
Moreover, the FTC alleged that the defendants falsely claimed that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed and accepted its products and treatment plans.
In April 2020, the FTC sent a warning letter instructing the company to immediately remove all its false and misleading advertisements that its products can prevent, treat, or cure COVID-19. Despite the warning, the defendants continued deceptively advertising the Emergency D-Virus treatment plan as a “New Covid-19 Treatment.”
