Conners Clinic
FDA issued a warning letter to Dr. Kevin Conners of Conners Clinic (Lake Elmo, MN) after reviewing the clinic's website and social media accounts (May–August 2022) and finding that ten products — including Fenbendazole Starter Pack #1, Panacur-C Fenbendazole, Breast Cancer Prevention Protocol Bundle, Curcu Clear, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Chronic LX, Cayenne, D3-Xym, Rapid Immune Boost, and Glucosamine Sulfate Chondroitin Sulfate MSM — were marketed with disease-treatment and cancer-cure claims that rendered them unapproved new drugs under the FD&C Act. The claims spanned the clinic's website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and included explicit anticancer, antiviral, and disease-prevention language. FDA determined the products were also misbranded because adequate directions for layperson use could not be written for conditions requiring licensed-practitioner supervision. The letter demands a written corrective response within 15 working days and warns that failure to comply may result in seizure or injunction.
