Doctor accused of aiding flesh-eating cancer remedy

ROCHELLE, Ga. – A doctor has been accused of assisting an unlicensed practitioner who allegedly treats cancer patients with a flesh-eating herbal paste that leaves them with horrible disfigurements, including mutilated breasts.

Georgia’s board of medical examiners has accused Lois March, an ear, nose and throat specialist, of aiding and abetting Dan Raber’s practice over the last three years by providing pain medication to patients who had received the treatments. One patient’s flesh was eaten so badly from his shoulder that the bone was exposed.

Raber could face a felony charge of practicing medicine without a license. He claims on his Web site to offer a paste made with bloodroot that dissolves cancerous tissue.

The medical board said seven patients had sought treatment from Raber for breast cancer and that March knew or should have known that his use of the paste “mutilated their breasts and caused excruciating pain.”

“All I can tell you is I’m not guilty,” March said when reached by telephone at her office.

March can respond to the charges, but she could lose her license to practice medicine in Georgia.
