An Internet entrepreneur marketing cancer cures over the Internet has settled charges with the Federal Trade Commission that the claims for cures were unsubstantiated, the FTC said.
In March 2002, the FTC charged the David L. Walker maintained a Web site and conducted seminars and personal consultations promoting his purported cancer cure. Walker charged between $2,400 and $5,200 for treatments that he claimed made surgery, chemotherapy and other conventional cancer treatments unnecessary, the FTC said.
The settlement prohibits Walker from making such claims and contains provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with the order.
The case was filed in conjunction with the Attorney of General of Washington and also requires the defendant to pay $229,000 in consumer restitution.
