Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against televangelist Jim Bakker for misrepresenting a 'Silver Solution' sold through his show as a cure for COVID-19 coronavirus.
I am a firm believer in
natural means to cure illness and disease, and in fact have used many natural treatments to avoid surgery and improve my health. Back in 2012, I underwent a gall bladder cleanse I found online, drinking olive oil and ACV, and was able to pass over 100 gallstones and not need to have it removed. Natural cures work! That being said, I think it is
highly deceptive to present a product like colloidal silver in Jim Bakker's '
Silver Solution' and tell people that it will
cure them from the coronavirus.
This reminds me of other Charismatic fakery like the
Miracle Spring Water offered by false teacher Peter Popoff, the massive distortion of John 11:44 by heretic Paula White in here '
Lazarus Seed Miracle' of $1,144.00 you send her to 'heal your finances', and the list goes on virtually ad infinitum. If you live by the very simple rule that all
Charismatics who promise you miracles in exchange for money are lying, you won't be fooled. Only God can heal you, and there's never a charge.
If you ever want a laugh, tune into the
Jim Bakker Show, where you will find all the usual Charismatic suspects who come on to shill their products to Bakker's bible deficient following. Here Paula White makes regulars stops there to teach about the '
Department of Treasury in Heaven', as do Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis and all the rest.
Missouri AG sues Jim Bakker for coronavirus 'cure' claims
FROM THE HILL: The lawsuit, which names Bakker and his Morningside Church Productions as defendants, says Bakker and “naturopathic doctor” Sherill Sellman falsely claimed the solution could cure the virus in a Feb. 12 episode of “The Jim Bakker Show.”
Sellman noted the product had not been tested on the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) but said it had cured other strains over the course of 12 hours.
Both the Food and Drug Administration and New York Attorney General
Letitia James’ (D) office sent cease and desist letters to Bakker following the broadcast, with the FDA letter advising that there are no known-vaccinations or over-the-counter products approved to treat or cure the virus.
“The 2019 novel coronavirus poses serious consequences to public health, and consumers are concerned as to how they can best protect themselves and their families,” James said in the letter. “Your show’s segment may mislead consumers as to the effectiveness of the Silver Solution product in protecting against the current outbreak.”
The Missouri suit requests a restraining order and permanent injunction against Jim Bakker selling the solution as a coronavirus treatment, according to Schmitt’s office.
