EPFX Machine - update on congressional and FDA investigations

We covered a story about the device back in November and thanks to the folks at Medgadget, we have an update and now there's a second device under investigation as well..the FDA has revoked the license to prevent any additional devices from entering the US for the EPFX machine...BD

As news spread of two federal investigations into dubious medical devices used throughout the Northwest, distributors and operators have purged their Web sites of the fraudulent claims that are under scrutiny.
Two investigations, one by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the other by a U.S. House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, are focusing on two machines detailed in a recent Seattle Times investigation.
Rep. John Dingell, chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Rep. Bart Stupak, chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, both Michigan Democrats, are leading the investigation.
One device, the EPFX, is manufactured by William Nelson, a federal fugitive in Budapest, Hungary. The desktop machine purports to diagnose and cure diseases from cancer to AIDS. Nelson rakes in millions of dollars monthly by selling the machines and other products through his company, Eclosion. In the past week, dozens of EPFX distributors and operators stripped their Web sites of any illegal claims, such as that it can diagnose or cure disease, according to a review by reporters.
Congress is investigating the EPFX as well as the PAP-IMI, a 260-pound electromagnetic pulsing machine, manufactured in Greece, that has been linked to injuries and death. The machine, invented by Panos Pappas, is banned for use in the U.S. but The Times found treatments offered in clinics in at least five states.
