Dr. Christine Daniel, a non certified Family Practitioner in Mission Hills, California was able to collect more than $1 million from cancer stricken patients. Daniel sold herbs that she claimed had a “60% cure rate” for their terminal cancer from her office and on a religious television show.
According to Vitals.com, Dr. Christine Daniel completed her medical degree at Temple University School of Medicine and finished her residency in Anesthesiology at Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center in California.
Of the patients that did survive from cancer, as explained in interviews, they trusted and believed her words to be true, because she was an ordained Pentecostal minister, Christian and a physician.
“You can’t be selling stuff and representing that it cures human diseases unless it has been vetted and approved” by the federal government, said Joseph Johns, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles.
As a result of her products, Federal authorities found:
“at least 55 people who drank Dr. Daniel’s mixtures. At least three dozen who took the regimen died, some after bypassing conventional therapies.”
Dr. Christine Daniel was arraigned on fraud charges. If convicted, she faces up to 80 years in prison.
