'Cancer cure man' faces court - Misleading and Deceptive Conduct

Wednesday 2 February 2011 @ 1.04 p.m. | Trade & Commerce

A Queensland man who claims he can cure cancer with diet and exercise is facing court action questioning the credibility of his treatment regime, with the ACCC claiming it is misleading and deceptive conduct.

Before it was shut down, the Darryl Jones Health Resolution Centre's website, advertised a cancer treatment program involving an exercise regime, the consumption of vitamin B17 and restriction of glucose in the diet.

The ACCC has also won a court order forcing him to shut down the centre and successfully blocked his website from use.

Is this a case of the courts protecting us from unsavoury conduct? Or is this going to far?
