The Neal Deoul Story

Cancer Courtroom Showdown:

The Outcome in Court

Deoul's supporters called it a "Kangaroo Court."

Unfortunately, Deoul's successful treatment in the real world was not mirrored in the courtroom. A Maryland Administrative Law Judge found Deoul and T-UP, Inc. guilty of violating Maryland's consumer protection statutes.

But the ruling came only after the judge refused to allow Deoul's defense team to put on its full complement of witnesses -- including over 80 people who would have testified that Cesium and T-UP helped them battle cancer and a number of other serious ailments.

Deoul was also denied a trial by his peers. The Attorney General used Maryland's arcane consumer protection process to direct the case into the Administrative Law system, where there are no juries. Worse yet, there are no set rules of evidence to insure a fair trial.

Meanwhile, the state's expert witnesses never provided evidence that Deoul's claims were false. In fact, not one of the State's expert witnesses had first hand experience with Cesium or concentrated aloe vera in human usage. Instead, testimony focused on whether or not the marketer was in strict compliance with complex and changing FDA rules on the sale of dietary supplements.

The critical question -- do the products actually fight cancer? -- was not addressed in the judge's findings.
