United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero has announced the unsealing of an indictment against Mary Blakley and Fred Blakley. The couple, residing in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, faces charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to violate the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The indictment accuses the defendants of running a medical clinic business that charged clients around $300 for "full body scans" using ultrasound machines. They allegedly claimed these scans could diagnose various diseases and conditions through a "smart chip technology" invented by Mary Blakley. Among the purported capabilities were diagnoses of blood cancers like leukemia and bowel candida.
Further allegations state that they claimed their scans could perform procedures such as colonoscopies and electrocardiograms. Based on scan results, they prescribed supplements and veterinary products as treatments for detected conditions.
The indictment also suggests that Mary Blakley's "smart chip technology" was said to treat numerous ailments by methods including driving Aetheion into the body to kill cancer cells. However, neither this technology nor the substances prescribed had FDA approval for treating human diseases.
If found guilty, both defendants face up to 165 years in prison each.
This case is under investigation by the FBI along with the Office of Criminal Investigations of the Food and Drug Administration. Assistant United States Attorneys Ruth Mandelbaum and Paul G. Shapiro are prosecuting.
It is important to note that an indictment is merely an accusation; defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
