Dr. Christine Daniel, a Los Angeles-area doctor and Pentecostal minister, was arrested and charged with fraud over her claims that her herbal treatments can cure cancer. Apparently, Dr. Christine Daniels made over $1 million by selling her C-Extract herbal formula, and some of her patients died after using C-Extract instead of mainstream cancer treatments.

While selling herbal medication is legal, it is not legal to claim that an herbal medication can cure cancer without having that claim verified by the FDA.

According to the U.S. attorney's office, Daniels, 55, even discussed her treatment on the Costa Mesa-based TBN Christian cable channel.

Daniels was the subject of a Wall Street Journal story, in which some patients said they followed Daniels' treatments because she was a minister.

EDITED:

thanks for posting this. the religious zealots also have their hooks in autism...

Wyeth needs some similar smackdown in regards to their own products which do not cure but mask the symptoms of, and increase the intensity of, the things they claim to treat with those products.

difference is, Wyeth has billions of $$ to lobby the questionable FDA...

Need to know more about Dr. Christine's History before making up my mind. What is the percentage of her success?

I hadn't heard of Dr Daniel but in the article from Associated Press it says she claims a 60% success ratio, presumably working with people who have exhausted other avenues of treatment. It also says that she treated at least fifty five patients between 2001 and 2004 with FOUR dying. Four out of fifty five died after already flunking out on chemo and radiation. That sounds like success to me not crime. My conspiracy meter is in the red
