TORONTO, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Attorney Bradley Essman, acting on behalf of Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. (HTDS) (www.htdsmedical.com) has uncovered irregularities in the actions of certain retail brokers who restricted trading in HTDS and LSDR stock.

"We have received reports from our shareholders that certain retail brokers refused to accept buy orders in our securities and told our shareholders that the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTC) mandated this action. However, DTC's legal chief told me personally that DTC is not authorized to take such action."

"This raises several burning questions: (1) what is the real reason such actions were taken, (2) how do these brokers have the authority to do this, (3) were these brokers acting in collusion, (4) who profited from this action, and (5) why are these brokers lying to their clients?"

"We plan on getting to the bottom of this situation in short order," said Mr. Essman.

We intend to investigate these matters thoroughly to see if there is any wrong doing. Our actions cause you to understand just how much we protect our clients."

The company will be posting the actual decision of Pink Sheets as a Filing on Pink Sheets for its shareholders and followers review.
