ATLANTA (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a doctor treated patients with cancer and other life-threatening diseases with weed killer and insecticide.
Dr. Totada Shanthaveerappa, 70, and a medical assistant face 87 counts, including health care fraud and distributing unapproved and misbranded drugs. The doctor is also charged with money laundering.
According to prosecutors, Shanthaveerappa owns and operates Integrated Medical Specialists and Integrated Chemotherapy Specialists in Stockbridge.
The clinic's Web site says it provides ``safe and effective, nontoxic, scientifically based alternative methods that can cure or control most cancer and other chronic disease.''
