Webster Kehr
Robert Webster Kehr (born 7 October 1946 in Jefferson City, Missouri) is an amateur American author and promoter. Claiming since 2002 to be a sort of "cancer researcher (of natural medicine)," he holds a belief in so-called creation science and maintains a website promoting cancer quackery and discouraging cancer patients from seeking medical health care.〔Webster Kerr, "(About the author, R. Webster Kerr )", ''Prophets or Evolution — an LDS Perspective.'' Accessed 6 April 2015.〕 Kehr is also a conspiracy theorist who claims that the medical profession and drug companies are deliberately suppressing so-called cures for cancer.〔Webster Kehr, "(Why Are Cures For Cancer Being Suppressed? )", 7 March 2015. Accessed 6 April 2015.〕 Now retired, he served in Vietnam with the United States Marine Corps, where he was seriously wounded, and formerly was vice-president of an insurance company and of a market research company and, until December 2012, was a civilian contractor for the United States Army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.〔"(About Cancer Tutor and Webster Kehr )", 2014. Retrieved April 6, 2015.〕
Kehr claims he began looking into alternative cancer treatments while stationed in Germany in 2002, after experiencing some discomfort with a drug prescribed for his hypertension.〔Judy Seeger, (Interview with Webster Kerr ), March 21, 2012. Accessed 6 April 2015.〕 In a fawning YouTube interview with Judy Seeger, a non-doctor who does not challenge his conspiracy theories and who blames medical doctors for "tricking" people into accepting needed chemotherapy, he says he'd heard about the United States Department of Energy supposedly suppressing solutions to a United States energy crisis, claims to know "exactly what's going on inside cancer cells," praises the use of laetrile〔 — an ineffective but dangerous anti-cancer drug that was fraudulently labelled as a vitamin in order to circumvent a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ban on shipping the chemical across state lines — and Protandim, a heavily marketed and overpriced pill that supposedly can increase antioxidant activity but which, he claims, he is not allowed by the manufacturer to recommend on his website.〔
Kehr also promotes a health fraud scheme involving "consultations" with Gary Teal, a pyramid seller of "JWLabs or GB-4000 Rife machines" designed to generate high frequency radio waves whose carrier frequencies supposedly can cure cancer. Typically, machines are sold through distributors in a multi-level marketing scheme.〔 Although the Rife machine was thoroughly discredited by the health profession in the 1950s, as recently as 2007 a Mount Vernon, Washington couple who secretly treated patients with an illegal "Rife device" claiming to cure numerous diseases, including cancer and AIDS, were convicted of felony health fraud. The husband, Donald Brandt, had impersonated a medical doctor, and the wife, Sharon Brandt, had arranged appointments. At least one patient, a 32-year-old, had refused needed surgery for testicular cancer and had instead, over a year, spent several thousand dollars on fraudulent "energy treatments" before dying from his formerly treatable cancer.〔Christine Willmsen and Michael J. Berens, "(Pair indicted on fraud charges in medical-device probe )", December 21, 2007, ''The Seattle Times''. Accessed April 6, 2015.〕 Then in 2009 James Folsom was convicted of 26 felony counts relating to the sale of the unapproved RF frequency generators. He was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and given a five-year prison sentence.〔Keith Darcé, "(San Diego man convicted of selling illegal medical device )", 18 February 2009, ''San Diego Union-Tribune''. Accessed April 6, 2015.〕
