The Truth About Cancer<br />
Jason Vale: Oh you got one.<br />
Ty: Yeah.<br />
Jason Vale: Right. All <strong>the</strong> people, <strong>the</strong> health food stores in <strong>the</strong> past,<br />
you know, <strong>the</strong> FDA would break <strong>the</strong> windows, shut <strong>the</strong> stores down<br />
because <strong>the</strong>y had <strong>the</strong>se seeds. So to this day a lot of health food stores,<br />
or to that day what I’m talking <strong>about</strong>, when I was 26. I’m 46 now. They<br />
didn’t carry <strong>the</strong>m so you couldn’t find <strong>the</strong>n anywhere. If I did find <strong>the</strong>m<br />
somewhere it was like an underground Chinese health food store in <strong>the</strong><br />
city that had like pounds in <strong>the</strong> back somewhere.<br />
Ty: Right<br />
Jason Vale: So anyway, I got <strong>the</strong> seeds and I got—I made some—I got<br />
a duplicating machine and I put <strong>the</strong> seeds—for like 50 dollars I sold <strong>the</strong><br />
seeds and <strong>the</strong> DVD. It was probably cheaper than that. And <strong>the</strong> seeds<br />
are only like 15 dollars. Anyway, I put it toge<strong>the</strong>r and I got a credit card<br />
account and put up a quick website and I just started selling tons of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se things. And I would tell each person, now listen, I don’t want to<br />
be—if this isn’t true I don’t want to be touting something that’s not true.<br />
Call me back if you get—if <strong>the</strong>re’s any success stories. I started getting<br />
calls immediately of people saying, listen, I had a tumor on my skin. It<br />
shrunk down. Or I had a tumor on my arm and it got bigger, it swelled up<br />
and <strong>the</strong>n shrunk down. It started itching. I got every story in <strong>the</strong> book<br />
and I asked <strong>the</strong> people, look, I can put your phone on <strong>the</strong> website. Can I<br />
put your email address on <strong>the</strong> website because people don’t believe<br />
this. So <strong>the</strong>y said okay. So <strong>the</strong> FTC sends me a letter and <strong>the</strong>y spelled<br />
my name wrong. So I should have stuck with <strong>the</strong>m. But I said listen, I<br />
don't know who you’re talking <strong>about</strong>. There’s no—this name at this<br />
address. So we went back and forth and <strong>the</strong>y sent a letter saying you<br />
got proof of this happening and proof from—show me <strong>the</strong> proof.<br />
Ty: So <strong>the</strong>y’re saying that you’re making unapproved claims for<br />
curing or what was it<br />
Jason Vale: They kicked it over to <strong>the</strong> FDA. And <strong>the</strong> FDA started<br />
saying that. So at that point <strong>the</strong>y had my right name and right address<br />
and I just had a lawyer, Mr. Dilling, and I don't know if he’s a lawyer to<br />
this day but Mr. Dilling was in <strong>the</strong> middle of this fight 40 years ago when<br />
this whole thing was going on. And he told me, listen, we just have to<br />
change <strong>the</strong> labeling, which I did, and <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> FDA said, no good. And<br />
<strong>the</strong>n we changed it again. The FDA kept saying no good, no good, no<br />
good. So everything we did <strong>the</strong>y kept saying no good. And <strong>the</strong>n I<br />
realized like <strong>the</strong>re’s nothing we can do.<br />
