Skip that one for en-Wiki? -->Rath runs the "Dr. Rath Health Foundation" which was closely associated with "Health Now" Inc., and he also founded a "Dr. Rath Research Institute".
Rath has put millions in advertising to portray himself as a savior of the sick who is oppressed by the pharmaceutical industry (whose products he sells!). Some of his products must indeed not be sold in several countries, e.g. germany, because they exceed the safety limit for vitamins in nutritional products. In that case, they do not count as nutritional products anymore but as medical drugs and need to be certified as such. Studies that prove the effectiveness would have to be provided, a feat Rath was not able to accomplish for now.
