I don't know anything about Allure Medical; but it's quite obvious that this raid by the FBI

was mounted as theatrically as possible, with the G-men clad bulkily in white hazmat suits,

a large blue tent set up nearby, and all the local TV crews alerted. (Their reports are online

at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fbi+raids+shelby+township+michigan+hospital.

You'll see that only one of the reporters—Nick Monacelli on WDIV-TV, Detroit's NBC

affiliate—tried the get the other side of the story, as opposed to doing PR for the FBI.)

In any case, this raid "for alleged fraudulent COVID-10 treatments" would seem to be

another federal strike against holistic therapies, as that clinic was offering intravenous

high-dose Vitamin C treatment, not to cure COVID-19, but to lessen its duration and

severity in patients not sick enough to need hospitalization. Thus that raid was of a

piece with the FDA's outright ban, in March last year, on the mass production of IV

Vitamin C:

FBI raids Allure Medical Spa in Shelby Township for alleged fraudulent COVID-19 treatments

The FBI raided Allure Medical Spa in Shelby Township on Thursday as part of an investigation into allegations that it provided fraudulent treatments for COVID-19

The clinic has been offering high dose, intravenous injections of vitamin C as treatment against the virus, according to a recent magazine article.

FBI spokeswoman Mara Schneider said the investigation also includes allegations that the clinic "did not observe proper protocols to protect patients and staff from the virus."

"If any patients or staff have any concerns about their health or exposure to COVID-19, we urge them to consult a trusted health care provider immediately," she said in a statement.

Earlier Thursday, Schneider did not say how long the investigation has been going on.

Investigators arrived just before 8 a.m. at the location near 26 Mile and Van Dyke, Schneider said. She said the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is part of the task force, and upwards of a dozen agents and special staff were on scene.
