Get a load of this item from Dr. Steven Barrett's Quackwatch weekly Consumer Health Digest. A very strange affair indeed.
Meanwhile, about an hour ago, Mexican authorities closed that so called medical facility.
Coretta Scott King dies in Mexican cancer clinic.
Coretta Scott King, widow of former civil rights
leader Martin Luther King, died at Hospital Santa
Monica http://www.hospitalsantamonica.com/, a
shady clinic run by Kurt Donsbach. The facility's
Web site falsely claims that "with very few
exceptions, traditional allopathic treatment of
cancer today results in no more benefit than in
1950 when records of cancer successes were first
kept." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported
that Mrs. King had checked into the facility
under an assumed name and died in her sleep a few
days afterward. [Judd B and others. Clinic,

The report also stated that Mrs King was in the
late stages of ovarian cancer and was being
"evaluated for possible treatment" before she
died. Donsbach has "degrees" from several
nonaccredited schools and has been the target of
several criminal and civil prosecutions. [Barrett

Many people wonder why the Mexican government
permits shady clinics to operate. Most observers
believe that it welcomes the "tourist" dollars
and that bribery may also be a factor. The
National Council Against health Fraud would like
the American government to ask the Mexican
government to stop the exploiting of desperate
Americans.
