From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted or if there are other concerns relative to this policy, report it on the living persons biographies noticeboard.

It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Edits to this article made by someone claiming to be David Rasnick

I've removed comments added to the article by someone in the Bahamas who claims to be David Rasnick. I reckon these comments violated at least one of Wikipedia's policies on autobiography, neutral point of view and original research.

The removed comments are reproduced in italics below. Some of this information is almost certainly worthy of inclusion in the article, but only if properly referenced.

[The Rath foundation never sold or attempted to sell vitamins or anything else in South Africa. D. Rasnick]

[The Rath Foundation had not conducted a clinical in South Africa up to my departure in July 2006. I stopped working for The Rath Foundation July 2006. The Rath Foundation Africa pursued approval for a micro-nutrient clinical trial to be conducted at MEDUNSA (Medical University of Southern Africa) but was stopped by political pressure from opponents of Mbeki’s government. Professor Sam Mhlongo of MEDUNSA and I brought this political interference to attention of the Department of Health and were assured that it would be addressed. It never was. There are powerful forces within and from without that oppose the government’s approach to the important causes of health problems of the people of South Africa. D. Rasnick]
