FDA to Genital Herpes Snake‑Oil Peddlers: Your ‘Homeopathic’ Bullshit Is Still Illegal

Aidance Scientific's 'Terragen HG Formula' promised FAST RELIEF for herpes sores via a ‘Shop by Condition’ funnel. The FDA’s warning letter says the cream is an unapproved drug and a serious public health concern, and that labeling it ‘homeopathic’ doesn’t magically turn water into medicine.

The facts

The Food and Drug Administration issued Warning Letter MARCS‑CMS 735346 to Aidance Scientific, Inc., president Perry Antelman, on October 1, 2026. The letter resulted from a July 2026 review of the company’s website (aidanceproducts.com) and its Amazon storefront. Reviewers found a “Shop by Condition” feature that directs users who select “Herpes” to the Terragen HG Formula product page. The Amazon listing markets the product as a “Genital sores treatment, outbreak support” and claims “FAST RELIEF & SOOTHING OINTMENT” that relieves itching, swelling, pain and other symptoms. The FDA determined the product is an unapproved new drug under section 505(a) of the FD&C Act and that its marketing violates sections 301(d) and 505(a). The letter states that unapproved drugs for sexually transmitted infections present a serious public health concern because users may forgo proper medical care, risking infertility, sepsis, death and onward transmission. The FDA notes no OTC drug for STI treatment has been approved. Aidance has fifteen business days to respond with corrective actions, or face possible seizure and injunction.

Our take

Perry Antelman, you fucking grifter. You built a ‘Shop by Condition’ funnel that literally shoves people from a herpes search straight into your magic cream, like a drive‑thru for genital sores. The FDA’s letter isn’t a polite reminder - it’s a federal slap‑down, calling your product an unapproved new drug and flagging it as a serious public health concern. You tried to hide behind the word ‘homeopathic’ like it’s a get‑out‑of‑jail free card, but the FDA made it crystal clear that homeopathic products are subject to the same drug regulations. Nothing in the law exempts you from proving safety or efficacy, and your marketing language - ‘FAST RELIEF,’ ‘EFFECTIVE PROTECTION & HEALING’ - is pure snake‑oil. People who trust that bogus promise may skip real medical treatment, risking infertility, sepsis, even death, and could unknowingly spread infections to partners. That’s not just fraud; it’s a biohazard wrapped in a glossy label. You’ve got fifteen business days to write back with a remediation plan. Maybe the best corrective step is to swallow your own product and see if it actually protects you from legal seizure. Fuck you and your soothing ointment. The FDA’s warning is a reminder that you can’t sell watered‑down nonsense and call it medicine without facing the consequences.

The VA Wrote Down That Late Surgery Packs Could Cancel Veterans' Surgeries, Then Said Getting Them Faster Had "no value"

The Court of Federal Claims just ordered the VA to redo its $98.5 million sterile-procedure-pack solicitation. The agency shopped by lowest price technically acceptable, wrote into its own acquisition plan that late packs could delay or cancel surgeries, and then told the court a faster delivery plan was worth "no value" to it. Senior Judge Loren A. Smith was not buying it.
