RANT.........Man is behind bars for saying he was "cured"

While researching cancer options being used instead of chemo, I came across a video about a young man claiming he was cured by eating apricot seeds (nuts). He was so thrilled that this worked for him, he felt the information needed to be shared, to give some hope to those who either could not afford the chemo or who were not getting the results from the chemo therapies. He decided to sell these nuts on a website he created, along with vitamin B17 (which the nuts contain) for anyone not able to eat the raw nuts. He was offered speaking engagements, and he wrote some articles. Unfortunately, he said he was "cured" from his cancer, which caused the FDA to raid his home, shut down his website, and put him in jail. 

Is this freedom of speech?......
Even if it doesn't work, is every snake oil salesman arrested and jailed? 
Is every arms dealer put in jail for selling his wares of destruction?....
It appears that B17, Apricot seeds and Laetrile are banned in the US by the FDA .......really....I've seen these sold on other websites......is it possible it really is all about the word "cure" being used by this guy?

I just don't get it!

In the meantime, his cancerous tumor is starting to grow back and he is not able to use his own remedy....he must use the conventional medicine that is offer in the prison system.....
What do you think?
