As you know we have had recent postings regarding "alternative" cancer cures, and I have recently been guided to a wonderful site that I suggest everyone who is considering using an alternative cure/treatment should visit. It is located at http://www.quackwatch.org

In particular, since we have had a posting regarding a Dr. Clark and her cancer cures for sale, I encountered a page at this site dedicated only to her...a dubious distiction at best. It is located at http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/clark.html

This stuff is really worth looking at if you really want to have your faith in humanity shaken. People praying on the misfortunes of others for profit.

Good gosh! I have just spent a couple of hours at that site and what I read was truly incredible. There must be a lot of desperate patients to have so many people in the business of preying on them.

Brian, I wonder if a link to this site, and the associated ones, might be a good thing to have on your main site, right where people first seeking information could find it. I am truly appalled, not having had any idea of the number of dishonest schemes designed to separate sick people from their money AND their chance of cure.
Or perhaps a link to here: http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html which is a message for cancer patients seeking alternative treatments. What I do not understand is how these people can continue to operate in the open.

Brian:
Just spent about an hour on the site and unfortunately was not too surprising. The amount of scams to prey on people are mind boggling. Our criminal/civil justice system is somewhat of a paradox of terms. Good information to have.
