To Whom This May Concern,

_____________ is medically exempt from any regulation mandating face mask usage or any other airway restriction for any reason.  (NOTE*** you are not required to disclose your medical diagnosis, history or condition.  If you are concerned about your confidential medical history being exposed to non-authorized and non-consented individuals, talk to you doctor about this concern. That information can and usually is left off the letters. If this is NOT a concern of yours, then you can add the medical history at the end of the above sentence.)

Wearing a mask will pose a far greater health risk to this individual including but not limited to a compromised airway, increased risk of hypoxia, pseudohypoxia, hypercapnia and significantly increase the risk for histotoxic hypoxic injury.  In addition, the results of wearing a mask will increase the cortisol levels inducing a sympathetomimetic drive, decreasing the lymphocyte subpopulation, increasing suppression of the immune system resulting in physical and medical harm that could be easily be preventable.

Under the Americans Disability Act (ADA) and HIPPA, a patient is NOT required to disclose his or her medical condition. It should be noted that any individual, organization, business or agency could be fined up to $75,000 for the first ADA violation and up to $150,000 for any subsequent violations.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131-12134, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794 provides for enforcement activities against an entity alleged to have violated federal law, required to be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552.  For more information, feel free to contact the Department of Justice ADA Violation Information Line at 800-514-0300.

Thank you,

Your Doctor’s Signature

Note to “patients of record” (patient at Centers for Advanced Medicine): If you need this letter for a medical condition preventing you from wearing a face mask for any reason, talk to your provider during your scheduled consultation.

Note to “non-patients”: We do NOT provide any services to individuals who are NOT patients of record. 

General note to everyone:  If you feel your health has been compromised and your rights under the ADA and HIPPA have been violated, contact 800-514-0301 (voice) or 800-514-0383 (TTY) to file a complaint.

“The life you may be saving by adopting these principles might just be your own.”

“As a patient of Dr. Buttar for more than 7 years, I know firsthand the life-changing impact of his work, and I’m proud to call myself one of his many successes. Over the years, he has become so much more than just a doctor; he is a good friend and a trusted advisor, but most importantly, he is someone I have bestowed with the highest possible honor I could give – intrusting him with the care of my family. For the first time ever, Dr. Buttar is sharing his breakthrough findings through 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor Away. This is a truly priceless opportunity – a glimpse inside the genius mind of Dr. Buttar. If you care at all about yourself, your family and your future, make this book, and the concepts included in it, a part of your daily routine. Can’t we all agree that the health and well-being of ourselves and our families should be at the very top of our priorities? Don’t wait for a health crisis in your own life to start preparing. Allow yourself to challenge traditional medical thinking and most importantly, make the most of this precious gift. After all, the life you may be saving by adopting these principles might just be your own.”

“I would not be living today if I had not found Dr. Buttar.”

“Anyone who has any concerns about their health needs to read this book. It tells the truth in plain language so you and I can understand it, and does so candidly, without any concern or influence of fear of the FDA, mainstream medicine and big drug companies. I became a patient of Dr. Buttar in March of 2003 after having 4 heart catherizations (which didn’t help) for blocked arteries that were causing chest pains and shortness of breath. I was 70 years old at the time. After tests, Dr. Buttar started me on a specific chelation program, changed my diet, and set me up on an exercise program. It didn’t take long for my strength to start coming back and the angina and shortness of breath became a memory of the past. I resumed a work schedule tailored to my own desires and meeting my needs. As I write this I am approaching my 78th birthday, and play golf 3-5 times per week. I take no medications at all anymore and firmly believe I would not be living today if I had not found Dr. Buttar and started on his very sensible program. You can be helped too by reading this book and applying the principles outlined. Thank God for Dr. Buttar’s research, beliefs, talents, and dedication to help others.”
