The man who treated Coretta Scott King for cancer at a clinic in Mexico was arrested Thursday and charged with practicing medicine without a license and giving patients unapproved drugs, prosecutors said.
Kurt Donsbach, 73, who treated the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. before she died of ovarian cancer in 2006, was charged with 11 felony counts. He was arrested during his weekly Internet radio broadcast and was held on $1.5 million bail.
Donsbach called himself a naturopathic doctor and told patients his supplements could cure cancer, said prosecutors.
"The defendant preyed on vulnerable patients who were looking for medical help," District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said in a statement. "Under the guise of providing natural and safe supplements, he sold victims potentially dangerous drugs."
