Ripping Off Cancer Patients Is About As Low As You Can Go
-
A former arm wrestling champion from Queens and his mother are being accused of selling apricots as a cancer cure. Apricots are not a cancer cure. We went through this with laetrile, the stuff made from apricot pits, almost 50 years ago. The questions are whether this should be buyer beware -- if you buy a cure from an arm wrestler with no medical training, you get what you should have expected -- or whether this is taking advantage of the extremely vulnerable and desperate, people who are searching for a last-ditch hope. I think it's more the latter, even if the first impulse is to think that nobody can reasonably expect some random guy to have the magic cure. (WABC-TV/New York)
