Naturopathic
doctor forced to shut her clinic after wave of death threats and
government regulator pressure

A world-famous
doctor who offered her naturopathic services for free was forced
to close her clinic after the Philippine equivalent of the FDA
went after her and she received a wave of death threats.

Dr.
Farrah Agustin-Bunch went to a conventional medical school,
but the fact that doctors are encouraged to prescribe treatments
to patients that haven't been scientifically proven to be
safe and effective made her uneasy and ultimately pushed
her toward naturopathy. Her late father was the famous herbalist
sir Antonio Augustin, who established the first natural
cancer treatment center in the Philippines in 2000.

She eventually
decided to open up her own practice. Her clinic in Victoria, two
hours from Manila, was frequented by celebrities, business people
and even royalty from the Philippines and beyond. She never charges
patients for their visits or exams, believing that everyone has
the right to see a doctor at no cost.
Dr. Bunch
has successfully treated conditions like lupus, hypertension,
diabetes, and other problems. She has even successfully treated
stage 4 cancers. In total, she has treated more than 100,000 patients
since becoming a doctor. She has also come up with protocols based
on clinically and scientifically proven methods that make use
of medicinal plants, extracts, herbs, and minerals. Some variations
of her immunotherapy treatment are even used at some of America's
biggest cancer treatment centers.
Are her
successes threatening the profits of more powerful people?
Her impressive
treatments probably weren't well received by the pharmaceutical
and medical industries, and she likely drew further ire through
her website, which offers up more than 20,000 pages of scientific
evidence to inform and educate her patients. In addition to demonstrating
the effectiveness and safety of immunotherapy, it also exposes
the lack of scientific evidence for conventional treatments like
radiation, chemotherapy, and most surgeries.
She recently
announced to her 3 million Facebook followers that she had to
temporarily close her operations after the lives of her patients,
children and herself were threatened if she remained open. She
stated that several cases were filed against her after government
offices and agencies received complaints from unnamed medical
societies. She said that her clinic and property were raided,
and she has been prohibited from manufacturing health products,
administering them to patients, and distributing them. If she
continues to help patients right now, she could lose her license
to practice medicine and her career as a doctor would come to
an end.
After her
clinic was closed for allegedly selling supplements that were
unauthorized, she said in a video message on Facebook: "I
was also told that if my outpatient clinic was still open tomorrow,
that I would be arrested and my license to practice medicine would
be revoked."
She said
that she's cooperating with the government agencies and using
legal remedies to help fix the situation. She apologized to her
patients for the inconvenience and suffering this situation could
cause for them and said that she hopes to reopen as soon as possible
so she can continue helping people.
A tearful Dr. Bunch added in her video message: "If something
bad happens to me, please remember that I fought for my fellow
Filipinos to have choices in their healthcare."
It's an unfortunate
turn of events for the patients who rely on her treatment, but
it's not surprising. Naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture,
and other so-called "alternative" medicine areas have
long been under attack by conventional doctors, pharmaceutical
companies, and the FDA in the U.S. and countries around the world.
As authorities continue to bully trained professionals who are
only trying to heal people, medical freedom is slipping away from
us and few people are noticing and speaking out about it.
