Man convicted over cancer 'cure'

A Manchester man has been convicted of advertising a "natural cure" for cancer on the internet.
Andrew Harris, 49, of Sale, advertised "Triamazon" on two websites as a natural alternative for treating all types of cancer.
He was convicted under the Cancer Act of 1939 of taking part in the publication of adverts offering to treat people for cancer.
He was given a two-year conditional discharge by Trafford magistrates.
The 1939 act made it illegal to offer a cure for cancer or to offer advice on how to treat it in any advertisement outside the medical profession.
