People Ain’t Isht: California Doctor Sentenced To 14 Years In Prison For Scamming Sick Patients Out Of $1.3 Million In “Cancer-Curing” Pills!

Dirty b!t$#!!! Dr. Christine Daniel Sentenced To 14 Years In Prison For $1.3 Million Cancer Pill Scam Via NYDailyNews A sketchy California doctor who duped patients out of $1.3 million by selling them herbal remedies she said cured cancer has been convicted. Christine Daniel, 58, will spend the next 14 years in prison – and has been ordered to pay back all of the cash — for the disgusting scam. The L.A. medic told sufferers to avoid chemotherapy and pain killers — and instead charged them up to $100,000 for six months of her unique treatment. She claimed her concoction had a 60% to 80% chance of success in overcoming advance stages of cancer and could also cure diabetes and multiple sclerosis. But her remedies — which she claimed had been tailored individually for each patient — were completely bogus. Experts testified that the potion — made up of sunscreen preservative, beef extract flavoring and various other ingredients — would have no effect on cancer or any other diseases. It meant patients were deprived of proper treatment and had to endure the final months of their lives in “absolute agony.” “Daniel robbed victims of more than money, she also stole their hopes and dreams for a cure,” U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said after Daniel was sentenced. U.S. District Judge Robert Timlin charged Daniel with four counts of mail and wire fraud, six counts of tax evasion and one count of witness tampering. The court heard from 28 former patients and family members of cancer sufferers who had died as a result of the ruse, reports the Washington Post. Daniel told Paula Middlebrooks, who she charged nearly $60,000, that she was free from the disease after five months of treatment. But, in reality, her breast cancer had spread and she died soon after. And a 22-year-old woman, suffering from neck lymphoma, was told by Daniel not to bother with radiation or chemo. She might have been cured, but instead she died. Hopefully the ladies in the prison catch wind of this story before Christine gets there so they can welcome her accordingly… Image via AP

Check out the weight loss evident in her new promotional pic vs. 2010’s … Returning to the ballroom for this week’s DWTS premiere with partner Mark Ballas, Bristol Palin impressed the judges with her cha cha, but also turned heads with her slim waistline. “I’m definitely in better shape than I was last time, definitely. I’m just more active and I cut all the crap out of my diet! It’s that simple,” the 21-year-old said backstage this week. It’s unclear how much weight Bristol lost, but she looks a lot thinner! The “most improved” returning contestant also credited Tripp: “My kid’s a lot more rowdy, a lot more active. I’m running after him a lot! He’s huge!

Daily Kos: Let’s Burn All the Religious Documents in the World!

As liberals tumble over each other extending apologies to Muslims for any American that would even whisper idly about burning a Koran, they should start apologizing for the Daily Kos. On Friday night came a plea from the atheist blogger “qinkilla” to burn all the religious texts, to keep people warm :  I am fine with the Koran being burnt, but only if the Bible and the Torah and any other religious document is included in the prodigious torching. If you’ve watched the Denzel Washington movie “The Book of Eli” you’d probably think that a braille copy of the Bible could save humanity. Well, in this country, we’ve got one of ’em in just about every hotel and motel room – and things just aren’t getting better. I believe sans religion, we’ll all be better off….So here’s my plan. We spend the next month gathering up all the religious documents in the world — after all, it’s time to let the invisible man go – and we allocate them to cold places, so they can be burned for a good cause…heat. Energy prices are going up, and people are going to freeze to death this winter. Actually, providing heat would be the ultimate use for these books… Imagine, the “words” of God actually accomplishing tangible. It would be a pretty amazing time.
