I think it's the 1939 cancer act and yes, it's illegal to claim to be able to cure cancer.
Would you care to share the website address with us?
You won't be able to post links yet. Just leave the www. etc off the front and I'll add it for you.![]()
I know of an energy healer, who claims to do miraculous things, his website says he can heal cancer ! I thought this was breaking the law under the 1927 cancer act. Can anyone confirm this ?

Hey there tangleblossom, according to the 1939 Cancer Act yes, he is breaking the law....
Not sure you have the year right, but if in the UK it is against the law to claim to treat cancer unless you are a qualified doctor.
I appreciate you can't post URLs until you hit something like 15 posts (we've had a lot of spammers) but you could post the url in 'english' - www dot [website] dot [where ever] or PM me or another member and we'll post the site for you. Though I am off to bed shortly.
Its Adrian Pengelly ]he seems to have an arrogance about vets too ! as it is illegal to treat an animal without a vet referal and also to for a layman to make a diagnosis

There's the full link.
Thanks for that Tangleblossom, I can see the cancer claim on the front page.
I have a feeling it won't be there much longer.....![]()

Is it also illegal to treat children or advertise to treat them without stating or showing you have higher CRB clearance, a proper qualification and insurance etc ?
I also noted that he states that continuing with conventional treatment may slow down the process of his own method ! how dodgy is that ?
We'll have to look into his claims and see what we can do about them.
Anything that he's doing illegally we can do something about.![]()

I have alerted Herefordshire and Worcestershire Trading Standards to Mr Pengelly's claims. Thanks for bringing him to our attention, Tangleblossom, and I'll keep you all informed about this matter!
I expect that he has already been warned about the interest here and will be interesting to see if he is able to make rapid changes to the site.
Have to say his site is quite slick. Seems to keep claiming that he does not charge so wonder where the money making bit comes in. Donations? Workshops? The Process page is quite an amazing collection of bs headlined as the 'science' of healing.
Good on Julia for getting on to TS. Fascinated to see how this pans out and credit to Tangleblossom for bringing to attention.
Says he is up for testing! I vote for seeing if he can survive a nuclear reaction using his powers of dna and molecular manipulation.
Might be the John of God model where physchic surgery is free but the heebs he prescribes are available afterwards for a price.
Also I noted that he doesn't say he works for free, jsut that he didn't charge "for most of his career" What if he charges a modest fee now and the period during which he didn't charge isn't verifiable?
