Robert Young's baking soda cancer treatment

(Apologies if this chap's been mentioned previously, but I did a quick search here and didn't see anything obvious.)

At least he's under investigation, pity the poor patients though.

Quote:

One patient who believed he could cure her cancer, British Army officer Naima Houder-Mohammed, paid thousands of dollars for his alkaline treatment, which consisted mainly of intravenous infusions of baking soda.

And it's the old story:

Quote:

"...I wasn't selling her anything… I didn't force her to come here, it was her decision." ... All in all, Naima and her family paid Young more than $77,000 (£62,700) for the treatment. ... We asked him if he felt remorse for what he had done. He said: "I don't have remorse because of the thousands if not millions of people that have been helped through the [alkaline diet] programme."
