He treated cancer with a lamp and a pendulum. Charlatan has been convicted

Tomasz Sz. for years he claimed to be a naturalist and a “healer”. The Katowice-East territory Court found that, as the “Fact” stated, he committed fraud and put 2 women's wellness and lives at risk. He offered them therapeutic sessions utilizing the alleged plasma generator. He convinced that cancers were not cancer, but, for example, parasites or fungi, and urged him to quit oncological therapy. Unfortunately, both patients died before taking or full continuing standard treatment. Breast tumor is simply a clogged gland. Process materials show that the first victim, 35-year-old Carolina G., was convinced that the breast tumor was a clogged gland. She paid PLN 28 1000 for the therapy, while giving up oncological consultations. erstwhile the change began to slop, it was to be directed towards buying a lactator. She yet went to the infirmary in dense condition. The second of the women, suffering from pancreatic cancer, 66-year-old Ursula K., “healer” argued that there was no cancer, but COVID-19 and urged that oncological treatment be discontinued. In her case, Tomasz Sz. utilized a pendulum and “plasma generator”. She paid about PLN 17,000 for this. erstwhile she returned to the specialists, pancreatic cancer was already inoperable. A year in prison suspended for 3 years The defence claimed that the clients acted voluntarily, and the suspect never urged them to reject conventional medicine. However, the court found that the evidence of the victims, given before their death, and the experts' opinions were clear: the actions of the accused deprived them of their chances of rescue and greatly worsened their wellness situation. The defendant's actions were a crime of exceptional social harm. The court sentenced Tomasz Sz. to 3 years in prison, banned his activities as a naturalist and ordered the payment of compensation to the families of the deceased: 13 1000 PLN for the Karolina G. household and 17 1000 PLN for the Urszula K family.– We demanded 3 years in prison without suspension for Tomasz Sz.
